A few days ago, I was watching a video with Jerry miculek and he talked at great length about how none of the competitive shooters use the weaver stance anymore and how they use more of an isosceles stance.

Just a few years ago, everything I would find online was weaver stance. After reviewing more videos, I am prone to agree with Jerry that none of the top shooters are using a weaver stance.

I tried shooting in the isosceles stance and I was actually impressed by how much faster I could shoot. However, my body still wants to revert to weaver.

This got me thinking, in a self defense situation, making myself smaller (as in the weaver stance) or being faster buy more exposed (isosceles stance). There is no right or wrong.

Any thoughts?
