I do not know what it’s called. I watched it used on TV once loved it and copied it. For a right handed person it goes like this:

Turn your body 90 degrees to the right of the target so only the left side of your body is exposed as a target, which is roughly half the target size compared to your full front.

Turn your head to your left to face the target.

Place your left elbow firmly into your rib cage with your left arm going upwards to steady the weapon.

Hold the weapon in your right had with your upper arm up against your chest. Now the weapon is being held by both hands with both arms steadied against your body.

The weapon is held high enough to be aligned with your eyes in order to aim it.

Aim and pull the trigger.

Having both arms steadied against your chest eliminates much of the wavering that happens with arms stretched out full forward. And it gives your opponent only half of your body as a target.

Also learn to shoot single handed with either the left or right hand. This works for shooting around corners as only your arm and head will be exposed. If that dumbass Weaver stance is used, you will be exposing your full body width at that corner.

For the concealed shooting test, I’m right handed, and shot six shots holding the weapon with my left hand only, and hit all six times at a target 50 feet away the size of a piece of printing paper (8 1/2 x 11).

It takes lots of range time, but worth it.

Sounds like Center Axis Relock.

Interesting and thank you! The “Weaver” stance is mostly all you see on cop shows and YouTube videos of cops in action.

You wanna make yourself as big and wide a target As possible so that your opponent is intimidated and throw s their gun to the ground /s

It is called a "Bladed" stance.

Yes, it is a real thing, not just a television flourish.

I was taught that technique in classes, along with using a modified Weaver position (with arms pulled in close to the chest).

There seemed to be a lot of controversy between the trainers about the different shooting stances. It was like the endless arguments about what is "the best caliber" for a firearm.

All of the shooting stances work. And after a serious incident, nobody will care about such details.

The female officer failed to fire her weapon when she should have fired.
