POINT / INSTINCTIVE SHOOTING

AND WITH ONLY ONE HAND ?" Well, not always, just most of the time. Generations of Americans have grown up watching "Westerns"  at the movies and on television. How often did you see the hero or the villian wrap his mitts around his .45 Single Action Colt Peacemaker ?  It's a fact that there is no "s" in the word "handgun". If they needed both hands on their weapon, that weapon was most likely a Winchester. 

Those old Colt revolvers could have a prominent front sight, but good luck quickly finding that sight on top of the frame. You can't align sights you don't see, so you pointed the front sight at your target. Did your focus go to the front sight ? NO, you focused on the target you wanted or NEEDED to hit !

This isn't  a lost art. It's used today by "Operators" in the SEAL Teams, Special Forces, Delta Force and all their counterparts among the Armed Services as well as our Intelligence Services. At close quarters, where it all usually happens, you'll have neither the room nor the time to put a support hand on your gun. You'll be fortunate to get the handgun higher than waist height before shooting. This isn't shooting just to pass a State certification test.. This is shooting to stop a threat and survive the encounter.
