Watch his videos again and take note of how high up on the frame he holds the gun. This brings the barrel center line very close to his wrist, dramatically reducing torque at the wrist, or "muzzle flip". It works. For me that grip causes quite a lot trigger finger surface area contact with the trigger...the 10lbs double action trigger. 200 rounds is about the upper limit for me with that grip in any caliber. After that the blisters start.
Edit:
That also grip also puts the majority of recoil force into your strong hand thumb and thumb knuckle. Watch out when doing this with wood grips. The factory targets on my 6" 629-1 drew blood doing this a couple months back.
