Some of the techniques were developed when revolvers were king.
Like the holding of the wrist or with thumbs crossed behind the hammer.
While they're not so hot with auto loaders, they still can do ok with wheel guns, especially those that have lots of muzzle rise and recoil.
The cup and saucer, two handed grip is still useful for slow, precision shots when recoil control and fast shooting are not important.
It's essentially a one handed shot with the weight of the gun supported by the other hand.
With practice, it all works.
