I didn't know why, but I am an isosceles guy. I used to stand in a Weaver stance when shooting my dad's revolvers and Mark II .22, but switched over to an isosceles stance after starting with Glocks about 12-13 years ago.remington79 wrote:I can use a Glock or a 1911 style/shaped grip with no issues. One thing I have noticed though is if you use a Weaver stance your grip is more vertical like a 1911. If you switch to isosceles or modified isosceles your grip is more angled and is closer to the Glock's grip angle.
I have a different problem shooting a 1911 quickly from a low ready or when drawing form a holster. I can't seem to find the front sight very easily. Someone here once pointed out that since I'm shooting .45 Glocks that looking down the slide of those things at the sights is like looking down the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. While the top of a 1911 slide is much more narrow. Once I take the moment or three to locate the front sight I like the way they shoot.
