Why aren't you shooting the chapman/weaver stance?

It's used by all skilled shooters who regularly make hits on targets out past 50 yards with a pistol.
Meanwhile isoceles is only used by obese tacticards who think that magdumping at 3'x4' targets from 7 yards away is supposed to be impressive

      This so much, it's called a handgun for a reason.
      One should be able to shoot one-handed with either hand. This is important for corners, shooting from cover, and maneuverability.
      However, most semi-autos point like shit with some exceptions whereas pic related points like a dream, its plow handle rolls with each shot and is meant to be held one-handed, and it draws quick
      However, the biggest brain plays with a handgun is knowing where to place it when performing a task like retrieving water from a well. Like pic related, having the handgun somewhere immediately accessible allows one to respond quicker than by drawing, and way faster than bringing a rifle up.

    Isoceles is used because of the idea that being squared off to the target is better for your body armor's coverage. It's a cop thing but they also taught it to me in the Army. I grew up shooting a ton in a bladed stance so I still default to that and shoot very well with that.

        This is fuddlore. Isosceles is used to for the purpose of moving while firing and nothing else. If one foot is far behind the other then your range of movement is reduced. And as we all now know the second most important thing after making a shot is to get away from where a shot came from so they can’t shoot you back.

    Iscoceles doesn't even make sense on paper. You can't lock your wrist and simultaneously keep the sight plane in your line of sight with your body square to the target like that. You'd have to bend your wrist and completely ruin your trigger and recoil control. The only way to shoot a pistol competently is to turn your whole arm into a rifle.

    my dad was a boomer that invaded grenada in the 80s. he was a sniper in the 82nd airborne. he taught us all how to shoot and was the shooting sports instructor for our 4-h club and boy scout troop. He made us all shoot weaver and always clowned on isosceles. Never gave a reason, it's just what he preferred so he made us do it. Now that's how I shoot and shooting isosceles feels super weird and I just do not do it at all. Personally I don't think there's any different at all in the two stances. It's just what works for you, what you learned first. I shoot weaver when I shoot in competition events, and people who shoot isosceles and do just fine there too.

    Weaver feels weird to me after shooting properly with Iso for years and years. Much better for recoil control and more accurate since you don't have to worry about any "stance" other than shoulders to target and legs apart. Everything is 100% full force forward, slight bend in elbows to mitigate recoil.

    The whole idea of weaver is just odd it feels unnatural and having to worry about if I'm doing 40% on non dom hand vs. 60 on shooting hand and doesn't seem very stable if you're gonna be pushed down or encounter resistance.

      To add to this, Weaver encourages dominant eye preference which is what you should not be doing when shooting you should be target focused and red dot/front sight focused over wasting time trying to align sights up. This is why people get clowned for saying red dots are a meme and still cling to their Weaver/iron sights stance because they are compensating for lack of recoil control and proper shooting technique and keeping their bad habits.

    I use a Chapman style stance with the high up hand positioning typical of an Isosceles. My grip hand is locked straight out and I use my deltoid/pec/bicep pad as a sort of impromptu stock. It works really well for me tbh

    Shoot in your fighting stance. If your fighting stance sucks for shooting fix your fighting stance. There shouldn't be a difference between the two, you should have one solid danger stance. This is what they actually train now.

      A lot of the high speed guys on my team would make fun of Duane D., but his system does use the same stance, ready positions etc whether you are hands on or guns. They do teach the high ready which is why our 417’s thag the little skill crusher cap on the foregrip and after getting smashed in the helmet a thousand times it does serve a purpose.

    Isoceles presents your plate as the largest target. this is why it is trained for in the service. any amount of blading your stance presents a greater amount of unarmored torso.

      That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You shoot as fast and accurately as possible, full stop. If your armor doesn't accommodate the best possible form then it's useless. Sacrificing performance to increase armor coverage is literally planning to fail. Ideally you shouldn't give the enemy any chance to even put your armor to the test at all. The whole point of armor is that it's supposed to be a completely passive defense, unlike a shield. It must conform to you, not the other way around.

        how you feel about how armor should work has no bearing on how it actually works.

        By which you must actually mean "accepting reality", since the ultimate test is a target that shoots back at you, and it has been demonstrated over and over that when TSHTF shot placement goes to hell.

        Also, you've just argued in favor of an unarmored tank.

        Yeah and as moronic as it is this is true, at least the training part. I still believe a bladed stance would increase the effectiveness of the armor because of the same reason slopped armor on vehicles does. Also side plates exist so it's not like you're completely fricked.
        Either way a slight bladed stance is not going to kill you if you can shoot better with it do it.

      You’re saying to literally present the largest target possible

    Years before I even knew that there were different stances or that they had names, I was always putting my left foot forward. Even shooting arcade games like Area 51, I'm not really sure where I picked it up, just felt natural. Maybe I subconsciously learned it from movies or something. As I got older and was trusted to shoot real guns it just kinda stuck. My grandpa never corrected me so I guess he didn't see a problem with it. I'm a better shot than most of my friends, but also I shoot for fun, not competition. tl;dr it probably isn't a topic worth taking a strong stance on (tasty unintended pun)

    Very situational, specially for cops, good for Self Defense, terrible for anything else.

    9mm is the reason why mag dumping has become so widespread. It's hilarious because muh capacity means shit if you have to spend more bullets per target to consistently incapacitate (which is more important than le killing) yet tacticool larpers are too daft to realize that much.
