"What works best for you is the best choice there is." is true for stance, choice of gun, clothing...

So, I'll also go along with LawDog.

I'm comfortable with the Weaver 'cause I've been doing it for 20 years. IMO, it's better with big-honker revolvers on recoil control--but not everybody shoots a lot of .44 Maggie, hot .45 Colt or .454 Casull.

I guess maybe one comparison test, after you've tried both for a while, might be which one lets you have tighter double-taps. Whether or not a real-world second shot is to the same target, it is important that you control the gun--and that means the recoil.

FWIW, Art
