Now the question is 9mm v. 40SW v. .45ACP. Not like that has ever been discussed before

9mm = why bother
.40 S&W = "short & wimpy"
.45 = juuuuuust right
RE: stance - Sounds like you are using the "modified weaver" stance, or a variation.
Just for info, here is the "complete package" to that stance and grip (assuming you are right-handed):
left foot forward, left shoulder cocked towards target.
torso at a 45+ degree angle to the target.
right arm very slightly bent.
left arm bent, elbow down.
grip the gun high with right hand, thumb high.
overlap with left hand, left thumb low and pointing toward target.
slightly push with your right (towards target), and pull with your left.
Don't be "that guy" who puts his weak hand
under the grip/magwell "Miami Vice" style (especially on an auto).
