I've been doing some rather intensive research, both literary and range time, of the merits and limitations of the 2 methods of presentation. Just so we are all on the same page, for the purpose of this thread press out means that the handgun is extended towards the target on a very high line and during extension the sights are aligned and the trigger press begins. Punch out means that the handgun is thrust toward the target as quickly as possible and reaches full extension before visual focus shifts to the sights. As of today I have fired about 500 round each way during the range portion of this study, and it seems that each method has it's area of dominance. punch out seems to work better at close range for the chosen target, but as range increases (beyond 5 yards for a 3x5 index card, 10-15 for an 8 inch plate for me) Press out works better. the range/target relationship is very similar to the range target relationship division between My ability to hit consistently without using the sights vs sight picture being absolutely necessary in order to ensure hits.
Has anyone else devoted any time to comparing the 2 methods?
If so, how do your results compare to mine?
Whether you worked with both extensively or not, what is you opinion of the pros and cons of each method?
