How many of you point and shoot rather than aim and shoot with a handgun?
I shoot righty and am apparently left eye dominant and aiming takes some real concentration, for me to focus properly.
Pointing has never really worked that well for me for some reason, but since I got my 1911, it almost seems natural and it seems to work. I haven't really tried point shooting at the range yet but picking the gun up and pointing it and dry firing at random objects seems to be working very well.
I'll point it, hold it still and see where my point of aim is and it'll be real close to what I wanted...much better than with other guns I have.
I'm going to keep practicing this way and see how it affects my range time.
I realize pointing is not much good when you need a practiced steady aimed shot, like in the discussed scenerio where a bad guy is behind your loved one and you have to give him a head shot. However it would seem that in most self defence scenerios, point and shoot would be much more beneficial (faster) than aim and shoot.
My 1911sc seems like it's the end of my finger...so natural.
Anyone use this technique?
