New way is thumbs alongside the frame pointing toward target, weak hand index finger in front of trigger guard. Plus, don't stand straight upright, bend at the knees a little, head down a little, both arms straight toward target. A combat defensive stance with a firm grip. This will give better control of the recoil for a faster follow-up shot.

What your describing sounds like the FBI stance. I never found it that great. I found the isosceles better and the weaver better than both. I've known some very good shooters that have come up with some totally weird stances and grips with good reasoning to back up their styles which worked well enough for them. Most returned to the more accepted styles, however, they were all of a calibre that they could outshoot me regardless of what they were shooting or how they were holding it. Basically what I'm saying is you need to use what works for you.
