I was reading an article the other day, as most of us do when one presents itself that we find interesting. This guy, "I read a lot of articles, and his name isn't important for this particular discussion. But he teaches a 3 or 4 day class on gun fighting where the sights are never used at all.
Reason being, "they take too long" to raise the gun up and put them into action.
Now some may just accept this as I do as strictly making sense, where others will insist that there is a way that allows you to use your sights and it doesn't take any more time than the other way around.
But actually if you have to shoot someone who is already shooting at you or is about to squeeze one off, there is no way you can shoot as fast as just clearing the holster and firing from the hip, like the gunfighters or even the cowboy single action shooters do now.
It's just impossible for a human to draw raise the gun to eye level line up the sights, "no matter how quick he is" rather than draw lean slightly back and fire two shots without ever seeing the gun.
Of course this takes practice and should only be done after months of careful baby steps.
But once achieved, at distances 10-20 feet, there is no way that a full draw and 2 handed hold can possibly win against a one handed fast fire gunfighter. The conversation awaits your input. I look forward to your exchange.
