I get far enough forward with my support hand that the second joint is flat against the face of the trigger guard on both Glocks and M&P's. The palms of my hands are in total contact with the grip surface, the heels of my hand are touching and the wrist is rolled forward.
It works well for me. You are getting a lot of hand on the pistol and getting grip as far forward on the pistol as you can. If I remember to firmly roll my elbows out the pistol doesn't move much.
It feels more comfortable to me than 'wedging' that finger (index finger) under the trigger guard and none of my support hand is below the grip - in a more conventional grip my little finger doesn't do much.
I want to emphasize that I didn't start doing this in order to use my support hand index finger to control recoil, I do it primarily to get my support hand heel/palm more in contact with the grip - no gaps.
I have XL hands, not particularly meaty if that makes a difference.
ETA: OP, I don't like shooting the Glock 21, the grip size doesn't mesh. On the other hand, I shoot my 30S pretty good.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
