Handgun Stance

Which do you guys use?

Explanations and rationalizations are more than welcome :).


I'm a fan of a slightly modified modern isosceles.

Slightly modded MI.
I read this article by Ron Avery and experimented myself -
found what I was comfortable with.

Old cops shoot Weaver.

One in each hand, gangsta style! Yo.






Seriously, I was taught Weaver as a kid (by an old cop) and 35 years of shooting that way have made it a difficult habit to break. When I compete, I generally use a modded iso, but I revert to weaver if I'm not concentrating. At this point, I should probably give up trying to change.

Actually, the two gun gangsta thing has some merit. If you don't like taping up cardboard targets, it might be for you. Personally, the few times I've tried two guns at once I felt pretty good about just not shooting myself.

I have probably ~50 different stances for different situations, different guns etc, but basic stance seems to be closest to modern isosceles.

Any links explaining them? I'm on the iPhone. Typing is painful

Jumping through the air, gun in each hand, blasting away at the bad guys...

I have always found that I am most stable, and can follow up fastest in a modified weaver. It also works great for kneeling, and around corners/cover

Modified Weaver, great for what ever happens. Easy to change from defense to offense to weapon to hand-to-hand etc.

I hold dual gats sideways like all cool ghetto trash do. I find its best for my drivebys.
