You and I are not too far apart on this point.
We both agree that point shooting takes practice. If one is willing to put
in the time to practice instinctive point shooting without benefit of sights,
there are no objections.
And I submit that pistols which point "naturally" for a person may be simply
a pistol that one is used to. For example, the free pistols that darkgael
uses have grip angle that is 135 degrees
No service pistol ever has
had grip angle that extreme. And one gets used to a pistol through
practice.
Practice practice practice.
I'm not discrediting point shooting. That would be like discrediting free
throw shooting in basketball. Both require a lot of practice.
