Isosceles stance with locked arms.

As always situation dictates, when I pull the trigger elbows are (almost always) locked.

Couldn't vote for one or the other. There should be no set rule of how you shoot two handed, but instead one would be better advised to use whichever skills set works best for the situation at hand.

Most of the combative training should be shot one handed out to 15 feet anyway, and the two handed skills used past that approximate range.

Iso is good, mod iso is good, weaver is good, so it's situational. I train for elbows locked in Iso [ a precision shot ], elbows bent for fast and furious work on multiples and can move from either into Weaver and back into them without redirecting my feet as targets present themselves.

If you are using one almost exclusively, you're training to solve any problem with one skills set all the time, and that will lead you down a narrow path which may not always be the best solution at the moment of truth.

I really could not vote in the poll the way it was set up either.

To answer your one question...."What's the wisdom here?"

The wisdom would be to hire a more reality based and versatile trainer.

I picked the second option. I like the Weaver stance as it feels natural to me and I shoot best when I am in a Weaver stance.
