As someone who *always* focuses on the front sight, and is indeed convinced that 10-ring hits depend on front sight focus, I have no business responding to this thread. I've never been shot at and have no idea how I'd respond. All my shooting is simply competition, with nothing at stake but a score. Just to make it clear, I have no practical expertise in defensive shooting or gun fighting so I'm not taking sides on the issue at hand.

However, at http://www.threatfocused.com/forums/for ... y.php?f=23 there is a pretty interesting post about the fundamentals of what they call handgun Quick-Kill shooting. Be aware that the people on that forum are avid about this kind of "point" shooting, and several make their living teaching it, so they may be biased in favor of it.

I tried the instructions in that first post, at very short range (3 and 7 yard lines) with my CZ75. Target was a 3" black bull on a sheet of notebook paper, on a piece of cardboard about 20" tall and 12" wide. Focussing on the black ball, bringing the pistol up to below eye level, arm extended but not locked, one hand, most shots hit within a couple inches of the black, many in it. Totally amazed! All shots were on the notebook paper, none just on the cardboard.

I was very uncomfortable shooting without looking at the sights - even knowing the impact berm is there, it "feels" irresponsible. Still, it is worth trying - if only to see whether or not you can get good hits looking at the target instead of the sights. I found it really illuminating at very short ranges. Need to try again.
