Both eyes open in a tactical situation affords you the opportunity to retain your peripheral vision thus seeing more than just your target. You aim for center of mass no matter the distance thereby reducing the need for accuracy.
Practicing front sight focus will help with your muscle memory but the action is to point the gun at center of mass and pull the trigger. Remember, the moment you removed your gun from it's holster, your decision to shoot was made. Follow through is a must.
