My suggestion was intended to show the shooter that the cause of the low left shot was the shooter and not the firearm. I don't recommend shooting with the pinky extended as a normal grip. Sometimes the hardest part of correcting an error on the part of the shooter is having them accept the idea that the pistol is not the problem. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my post.
