You don't need a perfect NRA bullseye 6 o'clock sight picture in combat, but it can, and has, been done.

Jim Cirillo wrote in his book, "Guns, Bullets, And Gunfights" how he vivily remembered seeing his front sight as he fired, shooting, and hitting, all three BGs! And Charlie Askins, in his book, "Unrepentant Sinner" wrote about how twice he MISSED using point shooting.

Does that mean front sght focus is the answer? No. Does it mean point shooting is worthless? No. It means there is no perfect answer, or system, that will guarantee good hits. Cause theres lots more to gunfighting (or any other kind of fighting.)
