i've had a ton of firearms training. i've been introduced to a variety of shooting stances and aiming methods; some of those being absurd and ridiculous. where some people come up with this stuff is beyond me, but shooting day or night at mostly B27 targets, i've always preferred to have my pistol pointed at the target, rather than really aiming. it means my gun is just a little lower than my line of sight. it's not straight up and down, but more cocked in a natural position. i seem to get better hits like this. most of my pistol shooting is no more than 25 yards, and even at this distance, i can routinely hit the targets. the good thing about shooting like that is it doesn't affect my technique while on the move. when my last department issued glocks and made us carry those a while, my shooting scores went down a lot more than i would have liked. i just couldn't point the thing. finally went back to 1911s and my scores went back where they've always been.ElGato wrote: I belive in shooting looking over my gun.
if you're really worried about shooting in the dark though, get a J-frame .357 magnum. i can start camp fires with it and i think the muzzle blast is rated at 500,000 candlepower.
