Question....If you can get really good hits point shooting very fast or very good hits sighted but not as fast.....what do you do?
A point shooter will likely get his bullet out first and possible turn the sight fire guy into a "stumbling zombie".

If you can really get better hits faster with point shooting, why don't top level IDPA and ISPC shooters use this method to trounce their slow sighted fire opponents?
I've shot both ways and know from experience which method is superior and has been
proven to be superior.
Since 1986 I have used a range timer to measure just how fast I can draw and fire, draw and fire quality hits. Prior to that time I used point shooting, I could draw and fire all six rounds of full power .357 from my Model 66 in 3 to 3.5 seconds and some of them were in the A-zone some of them weren't. In fact I had no idea how slow I was till I started using a timer.
Now I typically do Mozambique Drill's in 1.5 seconds or less and can draw and fire an entire magazine from my 1911 in less than 2.5 seconds, I have done it in less than 2.
I always use the sights, my hits are in the A-zone.
I drew and fired the above 8 rounds from 5 yards in 2.31 seconds.
In regard to the OP in my mind the main question still is, can any of us put our training into practice, after being shot and attacked by six assailants.
Firstly I hope I never have to find out, and secondly with all the speculation and armchair quarterbacking aside, I don't think
any of us will truly know until it happens.
