Crossed thumbs here.... Until a few years ago. Was taking the NRA instructor's class, and the "new thought" was to go thumbs forward in teaching. I tried it, it was comfortable, so its what I teach.
Similar note: I still use a modified Weaver stance. Again, its what I learned, and since I'm not wearing a vest, I'm not providing full chest body mass to an assailant. Those of you who know me, know that is just TOO big a target! Anyway.... I had a shooter "correct me" at the range a couple months back (he just got a permit) saying... "you can't stand that way sir, its dangerous for you."
Uhhhh.... and what do you say to that?
(hint: I was very polite.)
