Think long shoot wrong.
;>)
Ready. Fire. Aim!
I do that. Quick draw and shoot. Works well...very well.
Been on my Watch Later list forever. I did a refresher view every so often.
if you feel you need sights, at covid distance,
maybe a handgun isn’t for you...
Handguns should be point and shoot.
Your finger will point at anything automatically. You do not have to aim.
HOWEVER, you will have to practice a great deal to reach the point where you point the handgun the way you point your finger.
Same is true of shooting pool. If you don’t have a reliable stroke, accurate aiming isn’t going to help you.
I, however, proved his case at the range yesterday. You can shoot very satisfactorily without aiming. Now I have to work on the hitting something part.
I used “Point Shooting” with my Red Rider BB gun 65 years ago. It really helps me now since my eyes have 78 years on them and a good sight picture is not possible anymore. I know the Red Rider is a BB rifle but the same principle applies.
They really are a bunch of nancies about fire arms.

In a different circumstance, I found that the bayonet never needed to be aimed...
I found that the more time I take to aim the less accurate I am. For me I get the sights on target and shoot and I have much smaller groups than trying to get the sights exactly right then firing. It really surprised me.
What Rob isn’t telling us is that he indeed sees his front sight, rear sight and the dot if he uses one.
The brain can associate and align the sights rapidly and precisely with practice. And, it does so without conscious effort once the basics have been put into both neutral and muscle memory.
If you can’t recall exactly where your front sight was when you broke the trigger and your impact doesn’t match within a few click points, you probably need to go back to deliberate aimed fire to re-impress that ideal into your automatic mind.
Research tells us that people who can recall seeing their front sight hit targets with regularity under stress, those who couldn’t, well, even if they survive, they should’ve seen that front sight.
Front sight, front sight, press.
Point shooting is simply kinesiology at work.
True point shooting, where the pistol is not in line with the eyes, is extremely useful at near contact ranges. Much past a few yards, you’ll really want to know where your front sight is at.
If you recall the video of the Texas church shooting a few years ago, the hero, a shooting instructor, drew and fired a single shot and hit the criminal in the head from about 20 yards in less than a second. His pistol a 357 SIG, wore a red dot sight and the man recalled placing it on the head of the criminal and deliberate pressing the trigger. In a second from aware to hit.
See you sight. Even if in the mental background, that’s true pistolcraft.
