Your eyes are connected to your head, not your body. Your body has little bearing on where your eyes are looking. When using a weapon tactically, your gun follows your eyes at all times. Think that one through a bit. And the one organ thing....you're planning to stand facing someone with a gun and getting hit then? How about you plan NOT TO GET HIT and you shoot exactly like 99.999999% of the world and you utilize the weapon as it was designed and intended?
That one on top is with the action opened. Hard to get a feel for it. The overlap is a no-go, though. Mike above is completely right. Why are you standing square with the stock on your right chest, though? That position seems, to me, to be the source of your problem, not the weapon.
No, this is the older version which uses the MOE accessories. They do sell an adapter for $10. It looks like even with the adapter, the MLok accessories still attach MOE style instead of the quick on-off style of the MLok.@Kamen Rider
Does that forend use MLok?

This image is how my stance ends up being. Slight bend in my left arm, but basically straight.Are you able to have someone get a couple photos of the way you're standing and your hold?
No that isn't me. It is a picture I found on the internet. That is basically the stance I am using though.Is this you?
I thought about it but I don't find vertical grips too comfortable.Have you thought about adding a front vertical grip?
Thanks. Normally I do stand with my left foot in front. My body is turned. That stance is relatively comfortable and I have enough reach with my left arm. Slugs seem to beat me up in that stance though.
I thought the whole idea of the square stance is that the feet are parallel from each other about shoulder width apart. The body is squarely facing the target. Lean slightly forward and have the buttstock on right chest to help absorb recoil.... Anyways, that is my weak understanding of the stance.
The more I bring back my right foot, the more comfortable the stance is and the more my upper body will want to turn. Which will bring me closer and closer to my normal shooting position.
The next time I go, maybe I will try experimenting with a "hybrid" of the two positions and see how that feels. Thanks.
Not really. A tactical firearm usually has a sling and attachments of all sorts. An overlapping forearm creates a pinch point at the front of the receiver that will grab that sling and create a jam. It can also grab loose sleeves, cords, straps, shirts, curtains etc. Depending on your gun, you have a short stroke jam, a failure to eject jam, a shell over the lifter jam, or a double feed jam. Overlapping forearms also interfere with sidesaddles....so you'll end up sawing/cutting one shell loop off or a chunk of the forearm. Not really a non-issue.
