That around the corner stance as you called it, it is a good way to get hurt. It works OK with semi-autos but, it can cause problems with revolvers. I don't suggest it as a practical exercise. The fact is, form does NOT follow function. Down and dirty, muscle memory and practice that reinforces instinct is what we should do in crisis. If we think, blink or stop to assess our form, BANG! You are dead.
