Train on both methods for different situations. You need different tools for different jobs.
Point shooting: "3 yards, 3 seconds, 3 shots". (90% of the time)
Sighted shooting: "25+ yards" (When you care to send the very best)
That click bait has been hashed out for decades.
If you’re not visually confirming the sights are on the target, you’re irresponsible.
I know that it’s against forum rules, but I clicked through to the article and found this:
“The administration has said that it would seek to modify their Civil Reserve Air Fleet contracts to require that airline employees be vaccinated,...”
So there it is.
When you practice enough, you subconsciously aim your handgun for lightning fast shots. I shot around 10K rounds thru my Chief’s Special. Now I’m not saying it takes that many rounds to be proficient instinctively, but with practice, aiming becomes natural to you. Just like using sling shots, arrows, rocks and spears. I still depend on sights for long shots or when I have the time. Historically, the first handguns did not have any sights.

train for both coach.
As they were taking his gun he got it back and point shot both perps then sight shot the 2nd perp in the forehead. Killed them both in about 2 seconds.
Pointing has its place.
It’s all about intersections, intersections of vectors. If you fire while swinging and follow through does the path of the projectile only acquires the tangential velocity at the end of the barrel or does the projectiles lateral velocity increase with distance from the muzzle? If so could you swing the gun fast enough to shoot around a corner.
Just thinking which is what shooters do.
The best is what works best for the given shooter under the circumstances.
I suggest we all go find the FBI video on the principles of shooting double action revolvers.
That video covers both point shooting with the revolver at the hip, held low in front of the body, and sighted shooting.
I will close with an old addage: “ When in a fight, front sight, front sight, front sight!”
25 yards? I believe the distance taught by most NRA CCW classes was <=10 yards.
Bkmk
Depends on how much time you have,
So, the question is how far is your target?
If you have ever watched Annie Oakley, You will see she is doing something other than using the sights. It’s not actually point shooting. I like to think of it as “area” focus. You are aware of the sights, but they are not your primary focus. I remember shooting an m-16 downrange at a pop-up target. I saw both rounds in flight at the same time. A real life example of this is arrowhead hunting, lol. If you try to focus immediately on a “maybe” arrowhead, you will miss a real one very near it. If you area focus the ground in front of you, your chances climb of spotting one. It takes a little practice, but can be very useful for other things too.
