The tough part is knowing when to point shoot and when to use your sights. And of course this is only something one can learn from good training and lots of practice.
Practice with a good laser too, they can be sorta in between. The Oracle |

Give an example of a situation where you will have time to assume a proper stance, secure a proper grip, and obtain a proper sight picture. Especially considering your attacker will most likely be a few feet, not yards away. He will be hitting, bludgeoning, stabbing, slashing, or shooting. With proper "trainng" and form not existing anywhere in his uniserse.

I am edumacated in various shooting disciplines. You need to know what works when and how to apply it. You do not have time to miss. Use whatever tactic or skill set that allows you to be victorious and go home whether it is FSP or point shooting.
Combat fairy? We call him Murphy. My preferred method would be to put 2-3 hits on target and take cover letting nature take its course.

Reminds me of the guy many years a go that hung around the pool hall in my home town. Back in the karate days w ith the belts, and training and all that stuff. Bragged about all his training, and belts until one day he git into a fight with a good old boy street fighter. The Bruce Lee wannabe sliped on something with his first kick. At which time the street fighter knocked him to the floor, pounced on him, and beat the tar out of him because he was completely out of his "trainng" element. Never saw him in the pool hall again. Not saying training isn't important. But when things go bad, everything is out the window. Those thugs aren't paper targets waiting for you to implement your training. They are runing, jumping weaving, stabbing hitting shooting attackers.

The combat fairy is totally different. Her invocation usually starts with the phrase, "In combat, I would do it like......." Meanwhile they do something totally different in training. Sort of like all those officers who hit consistently on that nice flat range at long distances only to miss at two to ten feet because their lizard brain took over as the Combat Fairy never appeared. When that lizard brain starts running the show, you want either a huge close iin target to put that muzzle right up against or you want some big bright easy to find front sight post to put right over that thing invoking the lizard brain. |

I think this discussion has about run its course. I see a lot of people in here who seem to be more interested in how close they can come to the edge of violating Rule #3 than offering any new information pertaining to the actual topic of discussion.
