I think cup and saucer is the grip I use with my 45colt. I don't have much experience with this gun yet and have a hard time holding it steady for 50 yard shots. I shoot at silouhettes and can do fine on torso shots. It is just the head shots I am still shaky on. I am sure I will improve with more range time. I figure if it works why worry about what anybody else thinks. I don't use the cup and saucer for any of my other guns, only the single action 45 Colt. I don't like to see the thumb behind the slide hold with autos because I have seen too many ripped thumbs, so I try to stop people before they do it. I do keep band-aids in my wallet and range bag for the times I can't save a thumb. I did it one time when I was a kid and only got my thumb scraped, not cut, but it was enough to teach me to not do that again.

I tried the Magnum Force grip, but couldn't see the point to it myself. If it works for you though go for it.
