Stupid question but why are your shoulders square to the target? Don't you want to be as small to your opponent if being fired at?
I always shoot with my left foot forward and right foot back with my profile exposed.

If you're wearing armor you want to be square with the target. Might be a reflection of who taught him to shoot.

Plus, I wasn't really worried about the pins attacking us.
Only decent article I could find with some good comparisons. http://www.corneredcat.com/Basics/stance.aspx

The symmetry of the squared shoulder and equally straightened arms provide for better weapon control. Personal preference plays a huge role as well. See: Modern Isosceles vs Weaver (what you're talking about).

In Modern Isosceles, the feet are roughly shoulder width apart, with the gun-side foot closer to the target than the off-side foot. The knees are flexed, and the entire body leans slightly toward the target. The shoulders are closer to the target than the hips, and the hips are more forward than the knees. The shoulders are rotated forward and the head, rather than being upright, is vultured down behind the sights. The entire body thus has an aggressively forward appearance, and is poised to move quickly if necessary.

This is what I was referring to.
Your pictures look more like the Traditional Isosceles stance and not the modern.

The Traditional Isosceles stance is often seen on the range. It works well there, but does not provide the flexibility and speed of movement required by self-defense shooters.
