A lot of accuracy is in a proper gripping method. (Along with proper trigger control and sight alignment, stance etc.)
A gun should fit the hands of the shooter.
But to "fight" recoil,, or in other words,, fight the physics of recoil, by trying to hold the gun too tight & prevent it from "rolling or rising" may be a bigger problem. If you try too hard to "control" recoil,, you aren't able to keep a consistent gripping method. That can cause accuracy issues.
The SA grip design shape is such that some roll & rise will happen naturally. Especially the plow handled types. Once you understand the physics of the recoil, and develop a consistent gripping method, the roll & rise will be mitigated to where the accuracy happens, and the gun still rises.
Too loose, and it rises more. Too tight & it'll stay down somewhat,, but not consistently. And shots can wander left & right too.
Maybe Bob Wright can re-post a few of his pictures of him shooting his SA handgun, and you can see the more natural roll & rise. His pictures are an excellent tutorial of how it should look.
