[QUOTE="ArGyLe64, post: 2002341, member: 923"] There's a reason they teach point shooting at CLEET and at FLETC. All you that see here on your high horse and bash the idea wile insulting the OP are rude and ignorant. If the SHTF right in front of you and everything escalated in milliseconds you're going to "point shoot". At high speeds and close range you will not focus on your front sight. Those of you on here who do not recognize this technique and shun upon it need to get out of "1980 through 1983" and recognize reality. [B]To the OP:[/B] Your sights should be your primary means for aiming your firearm. But if your threat is too close (within 3 yards) point shooting is perfectly acceptable. It's your life and you need to defend it with any means possible. Getting your gun up and out on your target faster than them can be the difference between you going home or to the morgue. Don't listen to the jackwagons on here who insult you or think it's a stupid idea. If they were in the thick and their life was threatened at close range they would probably point shoot anyway. If you want to practice do so by shooting at a target within 3 yards and keeping your pistol in your normal shooting position as if you were going to aim down the sights but instead focus on the threat instead of your front sight. Then after a few rounds move the target further back. Focusing on your front sight should be your main priority for practicing but it doesn't hurt to practice point shooting a little. [/QUOTE]
