Practitioners of the competitive shooting world prefer the Isosceles stance, which was also adopted by the military and law enforcement communities. The other side of the debate favors the \u201cmodern technique\u2019s\u201d Weaver stance. Few, if any, ever mention the Chapman or Modified Weaver stance. So which stance is the best?

No doubt some practitioners of the art of handgun shooting used two hands from time to time. However, it was not the encouraged, accepted, or a taught style of handgun shooting. Two hands were reserved exclusively for long guns. That philosophy persisted until well into the late 1950s when Colonel Jeff Cooper\u2019s Leather Slap competitions served up the leading gunslingers of the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/ammunition\/bulk\/\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bulk_ammo_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bulk_ammo_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The Leather Slap events started as a quick draw event, inspired by America\u2019s love affair with the popular movie and TV westerns of the day.

The stages for those events consisted of timed strings at an array of targets that consisted of 18-inch balloons ay seven yards. Eventually, a forward thinking competitor and Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy named Jack Weaver developed an eye-level, two-handed aiming technique that revolutionized the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Weaver Stance<\/h2>\n<p>Weaver was quoted as saying, \u201cA pretty quick hit is better than a lightning-fast miss.\u201d Basically, the Weaver stance, as developed by Jack, is a bladed stance with the strong-side foot back, very much like a boxer\u2019s fighting stance. It required the shooter to have a nearly straight strong arm with a bent support arm. This creates a push\/pull hold on the pistol because the support arm is bent and pulls in from the front on the grip while the strong arm pushes out and forward from the back of the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/lock-firm-grip-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">grip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This became the stance that was the basis for the \u201cmodern technique.\u201d Consequently, this technique is still taught at Gunsite. It was revolutionary for its day. Many believe it is still the best option of all the other stances for a real fight \u2014 including yours truly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"574\" alt=\"Infographic showing the amount of the body exposed in a gunfight\" class=\"wp-image-92802 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?w=642&amp;ssl=1 642w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=300%2C269&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=150%2C135&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=640%2C574&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=640%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Infographic showing the amount of the body exposed in a gunfight\" class=\"wp-image-92802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?w=642&amp;ssl=1 642w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=300%2C269&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-3.jpg?resize=150%2C135&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Isosceles stance on the left and Weaver on the right. The arrows on the right compare the width. Which target would you rather be?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Isosceles Stance<\/h2>\n<p>That said, the most popular stance seen today is the Isosceles that was popularized in the 1980s, when Brian Enos and Rob Leatham used it to win several International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) competitions. The basic Isosceles position starts with you facing your target, shoulders level with each other, with both arms extended and elbows locked. Holding the pistol in line with the center of your chest. Push forward with your strong hand, and pull back with your support hand. From above, this looks like an isosceles triangle when executed correctly, hence the name of the stance.<\/p>\n<p>Since its introduction, it has been embraced by law enforcement and the military, because it maximizes the protection and effectiveness of body armor. The reason for that is the armor plates are flat to the direction of the threat. But how many CCW holders go to the store in full body armor?<\/p>\n<p>Although competitors use it very well in competition, a <em>gunfight<\/em> is not competition and different dynamics are in play. Two of my biggest criticisms of the Isosceles stance is that it is not as dynamic as the Weaver stance, which is a true fighting stance. You can\u2019t pivot quite as far in either direction as you can with the Weaver. You also must stick your gun farther out in front of you, making the Isosceles stance a poor choice for close combat techniques. The isosceles stance is also much harder for students to get right. It contains many subtleties that make it difficult to properly master and counter intuitive for a fight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"468\" alt=\"infographic of a good shooting stance\" class=\"wp-image-92803 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=300%2C219&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=150%2C110&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=640%2C468&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=640%2C468&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"infographic of a good shooting stance\" class=\"wp-image-92803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=300%2C219&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-4.jpg?resize=150%2C110&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Take off his gloves, give him a handgun, and he is in the Weaver stance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Other Options<\/h2>\n<p>There is another stance that I like, but not as a primary stance. It\u2019s one that should definitely be in your bag of gun fighting tricks and that is Paul Castle\u2019s Center Axis Relock stance. The stance excels at close-range fighting where retention is paramount and your targets are non-gender-specific homo sapiens in size.<\/p>\n<p>It is also excellent for those that are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/eye-dominance-and-cross-eye-dominant-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cross eyed-dominate<\/a> to use. It forces you to use the non-dominant eye without any form of compensation. It is fast and adapts to any situation. However, it is not recommended when ranges are longer than 10 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Additional reasons why I favor and recommend the Weaver Stance as a starting point for all my students\u2026 It\u2019s a dynamic fighting stance that\u2019s based on other martial arts fighting stances. Therefore, fluidity of movement is easier. It also gives much more consideration as to how the human body works best when under stress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"384\" height=\"576\" alt=\"The author explaining the Paul Castle CAR stance\" class=\"wp-image-92805 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=384%2C576&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"384\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=384%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"The author explaining the Paul Castle CAR stance\" class=\"wp-image-92805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Isosceles-v-Weaver-6.jpg?resize=150%2C225&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The author explaining the Paul Castle CAR stance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Think about how you naturally address someone for a fight. That is how the Weaver stance addresses your adversary naturally doing what you are instinctually programed to do. The Weaver is a dynamic stance that is lightning fast and easy to assume. Additionally, you don\u2019t have to move your feet to engage multiple targets. You merely rotate your torso with much more lateral movement than other stances while maintaining balance.<\/p>\n<p>The sights are closer than with some of the other two-handed stances, so target acquisition is easier. Being bladed makes you a much more difficult target to hit. It is also more compact, making weapon retention in close quarters much more secure.

That said, I will admit to some deficiencies inherent in the Weaver stance \u2014 such as recoil \u2014 is not controlled as well as some other stances, particularly if you do not have much upper body strength. Also, it is not as good for cross eyed- dominant shooters to accommodate as the Center Axis Relock stance.<\/p>\n<p>Those issues aside, it is still my number one choice for all handgun shooting against adversaries \u2014 at touching distance to varmints at 200 yards. In conclusion, not every stance is good for every shooter, in every situation. So, practice each stance until you can naturally assume the best position for you to deliver fast, accurate fire, no matter where you are. Stay safe, train often, and practice, practice, practice!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you prefer the Weaver or Isosceles stance and why?
