Island Beretta:
Ron Avery teaches a lot of side to side pressure, kind of like your arms and hands making a nut cracker motion. If you have controll issues, it's worth a shot (no pun intended). If you shoot well with a more neutral grip, you are in good company and I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Yes, a very good friend and shooting buddy of mine happens to be the firearms trainer for our Grizzly Bear Managment Team. They use 629 Smiths stoked with the nastiest Hammer heads they can get from Randy Garrett. His charging bear prop is a 55 gallon barrel on a pulley system.
He doesn't teach nor recommend the Weaver and none of the team members use a Weaver, period. Why the heck would you pull back on a gun that kicks like a mule?
Face it guys, all of the observable evidence shows the Weaver stance is not the dominate shooting platform being taught today in any endeavor be it gaming or shooting for blood. That's just the way it is. If you like the Weaver and it works for you then use it.

Anybody teaching classes in how to handle a charging bear (take away his credit card?) with repeat shots at moving targets from painful handguns?
