I would agree that certain two-handed grips do preclude the need to wrap a finger around the trigger guard, which is why I personally no longer do so. However, that technique is still viable, and on certain weapons can increase isometric tension and absorb trigger errors better. I wouldn't do it for the purposes of recoil control, though.
Recoil control and technique in general are all very dependent on the individual shooter and the weapon being used. What causes a grip to break on a 1911 may be perfectly adequate on a 9mm SIG. However, I will state that a conventional two-hand grip will usually work well with most all pistols, and that's a good reason to use it.
No dogmatic instructors?! Come on! :P
