Thanks for the kind words.
I have gotten quite a few requests for my outline, so it is nice to see some interest in the subject.

Thanks

One of my big concerns about a confrontation is the time it takes to aim.

I plan on practicing the point and shoot at my local range this spring and appreciate the info.

I tried it and found with a 1911 I cannot keep the grip safety compressed using the middle finger as a shooting finger. Besides, why can't one just point with their trigger finger as it's extended along the slide in it's proper position, then place it on the trigger to fire?

Gentlemen...
I am providing information on WW2Applegate/Fairbairn/Sykes point shooting.
This has nothing to do with the P&S system provided by OK JOE.
I do not recommend pulling the trigger with the middle finger.
THAT IS NOT POINT SHOOTING!!!!
Please use the normal trigger finger when using my outline as a base.
