WEAVER STANCE:

         This stance was developed by Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Jack Weaver  in the late 1950's.  This is a two handed technique.

Hands & Arms:
         Your dominant hand holds the pistol and your support hand wraps around your dominant one.  Bend your dominant arm's elbow a little and your other elbow should be pointing straight down.

 Leg Work:
         Position your dominant foot toward the rear and you support foot towards the front. Your support foot should be facing forward and you dominant foot in a 45 degree angle and slightly outward. Most of your body weight should be on your support foot (front foot). Your front leg should have a little bend and your rear leg should be straight.

Upper Body:

          Your upper body should be leaning forward over your support foot.
