First I’d say that they’re only using one hand but it’s good to train with one hand occasionally in case one of your arms gets disabled in an altercation. The bigger issues are that they are shooting with their body parallel with their arm (should be perpendicular) and they are leaning back (should be leaning forward)
They aren’t leaning. That’s just the camera angle. As for the stance you’re wrong. That’s a normal shooter stance. Here are the 2023 european championship shooters as an example.
Why do people who don’t shoot act like they know what they’re talking about? My experience is military shooting with experience in wartime iraq. What’s yours?
The stance for competition shooting is entirely different than shooting for self defense. You practice shooting for self defense with your torso pointed at the enemy because that’s what your body does instinctively when you’re in danger. Turning your body 90 degrees when you recognize a threat is a waste of precious milliseconds needed to save your life. There’s also the issue of body mechanics. Pointing at the enemy like I said allows you to engage your whole upper body to mitigate recoil in a way that blading your body simply does not. Whether or not they are leaning back may not be readily apparent in the image but you can say with certainty that they are not leaning forward, which again, is necessary to engage the core for recoil mitigation.
I’m not eager to explain my credentials because I find the appeal to authority thing really stupid. I will say though, the military is widely known to have subpar handgun training, evidenced by countless videos online and countless professional trainers complaining about the amount of unlearning necessary to teach modern handgun training to people with military experience.
Recoil mitigation is revelant with those revolvers. They appear to be .38 special which does have some kick. Regardless, even with 9mm it’s important. These are pistols. You need to land multiple hits to stop a threat. Recoil mitigation determines how quickly you can fire accurately again, which determines how many shots you can land in the precious few seconds you have to defend yourself.

The weapons don’t really look like the high recoil type, though admittedly I’m no expert. I’m going to bet they were doing just fine.
