IMO, tension = bad (not to be confused with a firm grip)

If you are going to experiment with relaxed shooting for target accuracy may I suggest you use your heavy steel framed guns. Lightweight plastic guns tend to malfunction without a stiff backing (this is called limp wristing)....

I don't mess around with a light grip during combat style shooting practice.
Just to re-iterate: A relaxed position is not the same as light or limp grip. Back to the tissue paper analogy: You can hold it firm. Your grip can be firm, and if tissue paper could recoil, you'd still control the gun. But you wouldn't tear the paper.

I shoot either a ruger usually P95 or P89 or a Glock 17 or 34. All of which are 9mm. I also have a couple of 45 a Ruger P90 and P97 but don't shoot them often due to the cost of ammo.
If you can swing it, I'd heartily recommend a .22 or a .22 conversion for your Glock. Keeps the cost of shooting down a bit.
