I don't think about it much. It depends on the gun I am shooting, but otherwise a firm grip, support hand tighter than firing hand. As far as stance, I am comfortable, left foot forward of right and on the balls of my feet leaning slightly forward. I can only describe it as a natural stance.
I have tried different grips and stances recommended by the professionals, but if it is uncomfortable for me, my accuracy and precision suffers. If I have to think about it too much, I am lucky to hit anywhere on the target.
My Dad tried various grips on his 1911 and all he got for it was slide bit. He went back to his usual grip with a few minor changes and got very good with his WWII Remington. It was the grip that he was most comfortable with.
I am not saying don't try different grips and stances, but if you are uncomfortable, good luck hitting what you are shooting at.
