I don't have long hands, so keeping it close works for me. Now if I had a 10 inch barrel I might push it out a little.
I'd tend to agree with this train of thought.

I've found it difficult to "index" from tgt to tgt while using a V-grip. It's much smoother/faster when just the palm of the support hand is under the upper receiver.
