....sorry my friend, but I think that you're confusing the Weaver with Ray Chapman's modified weaver, which straightened the strong side arm--go to page 26 here for an example:http://www.americanhandgunner.com/1976issues/AHND76.pdf
Ray lamented that it worked for Jack as he was using a 6" revolver with relatively light .38's. Quite different than Jack's and Ross' stance:

Ross was the closest thing to Jack as anyone in the top echelon of shooters.

The blindness from subjectivity is indistinguishable from the darkness of ignorance.
