My point is that isosceles stance (especially the power isosceles) allows one to draw faster, acquire the target faster, get the first shot faster, and absorb more recoil naturally which allows faster target re-acquisition to follow up with more shots faster.

Extrapolate on this please, I do not understand how it allows me to draw faster, or do anything you described faster than any other stance. I draw about the same speed with both stances, unless you are talking about assuming the stance, which is much slower for me in the isosceles stance so I could argue the weaver allows people to draw faster (but I'm not going to, because it only allows me to draw faster, apparently).

What you should have said is this:

My point is that isosceles stance (especially the power isosceles) allows one ME to draw faster, acquire the target faster, get the first shot faster, and absorb more recoil naturally which allows faster target re-acquisition to follow up with more shots faster.

This stance is particularly useful for smaller stature people who may have more difficulty managing recoil as it isn't as much dependent on active muscular tension.

I agree, and if the stance works for you and your situation, wonderful! But other stances work for other people, believe it or not. And they will not "get people killed"

Also, I take offense that you would assume my preference of the isosceles stance, that the winners in competitions since the 1980's have adopted, is equated with spending my time hanging around bootlicking tools and cops. I care about my community, including you, and want them to train with the best known tools available.

Great, then perhaps you understand why I took offense to you telling me that the stance I use to shoot handguns in will get me or other people killed, when it obviously will not. There is no universal best, absolutely perfect stance that everyone should use because a competition shooter uses it
