Mostly this answers your question.
Once recoil is included in the exercise, there are different considerations. Arguments about grip tend to be mostly subjective, but there is some basis for an objective argument that a grip must at the least manage recoil sufficiently and allow continuous control of the weapon. We've all seen someone shooting a gun with a bad grip, and the gun muzzle raises high in the air before being allowed to fall back down toward the target, and to the left, right, or below said target. A good grip will allow you to minimize muzzle rise, and quickly and effectively return the muzzle to the target or a safe orientation if disengagement is appropriate. You should always be in control of your firearm.
