If I remember correctly a Deputy Sheriff from California by the name of "Weaver", developed the stance for Combat Shooting and competed against/with
Jeff Cooper. It was also before the days of Body Armor. I remember competing in PPC(Practical Police Combat) with "Funny Guns". Tricked out Revolvers
with Custom Barrels, cylinders, sights on a S&W mod 10 frame and actions. The actions were so smooth, that a large amount of shooters had their revolvers
double action Only. More shooters started using the Weaver Stance, after all we were using 148g hollow base wad cutters. My pistols were made by Maryland
Gun Works owner Lou Camillo. He moved his company to Atlanta known as MGW.
