I am not dogmatic in training methods. As a LE trainer, all I ever gave a damn about was safety and results.
I demonstrated basic, foolproof fundamentals and established what would and wouldn't fly on my range. Beyond that, the student was free to solve various shooting problems using any safe shooting stance or grip that worked with their anatomy, physical strengths and weaknesses, hand size and chosen or issued weapon. This sounds like mess but isn't. I corrected as needed and it worked like gangbusters with a wide variety of shooters.
I've had to correct plenty of bad training provided by so called kombat egg-spurts at several of MO's little coin-op police academies. I've had guys trained by these fooktards who couldn't keep 12 rounds in the 8 ring of a B27 from 15 yards, given 20 seconds from the holster, with a reload. They had these people for FOUR MONTHS. WTF??
