Survive the Fight

Yeah… we’ve come a long way, baby. First, dig the cops radio. Second, don’t shoot a shotgun from the hip. Any decent trap or skeet shooter will tell you that pointing is natural from the shoulder. I *am* a fan of natural pointing for close range pistol shooting. That’s at variance from most firearms instructors. …

I *am* a fan of natural pointing for close range pistol shooting. That’s at variance from most firearms instructors.  But hey, my limited interaction with the guys in special operations tells me that they teach it. That is, you’re not looking at the sights, you’re looking at the target. Target focus tends to bring your pistol to bear on the target. We’re natural predators that way. No, that’s not going to work at 15 yards. But it works just fine at 3 yards.

    It’s weird to see nothing but six-shooters in a film… :-/
