You are forming an isosceles triangle with your body hence the name. With the isosceles stance, your feet are just over shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, weight on the balls of your feet, your body square to the target, both arms extended out. Also the placement of your feet will inhibit you from moving quickly to cover if need be. The angle of your torso limits the range of motion, impeding your ability to deal with multiple targets. I’ve also found it doesn’t fare so well in defensive shooting classes or force on force. I believe this is a great stance for range shooting, its qualities provides a very stable platform for stationary shooting.
Knees slightly bent, weight on the balls of your feet, Your torso turned slightly toward your dominant side, your dominant hand fully extended and your non dominant hand slightly bent at the elbow. With the weaver stance your feet are set with your non dominant foot (if you are right-handed this would be your left foot) 2-3 feet forward of your dominant foot.
The major differences between these two stances is foot placement and torso orientation. Throughout the years there are two “stances” that have stood the test of time.
The proper stance like the proper grip have grown and evolved throughout the years, some parts of its evolution has been positive and others not so much. Depending on who you talk to stance can be a very controversial topic in the world of defensive shooting.
