Then, without moving your head or scrunching anything up in your neck or shoulders, just lift the gun up until you're looking at the sights.

I hold the gun with my hands and wrists. Everything else (biceps, shoulders, back) are relaxed except for the tension needed to suspend the weight of the pistol in front of me.

Stance (foot position and any slight lean) are dictated by how you might need to fight or move. They have nothing to do with the very minor recoil of a handgun.


It really is this simple and much of this methodology can be practiced w/ dryfire. Ronin's technique seems to ignore the most difficult aspect of combat shooting which is positive target and background ID and discrimination. Taking the trigger to the wall as part of your presentation assumes that you will always be able to deconflict your situation in <1.5 seconds which is not realistic. Your finger stays off the trigger until all safety criteria are met w/out fail. This is slightly slower but is the mark of a competent shooter. Most humans will take from 1.0-1.5 seconds from initial stimulus to 1st shot, a lot can change in that amount of time hence the need for mental and physical dexterity often under great stress.

YMMV

The Weaver stance feel better when shooting targets, but I think in an emergency situation I'd naturally use isosceles.
