Such learning how to safely handle the gun but it becomes different when the trading beyond the fundamentals becomes more advanced.

For self defense shooting , I don’t use the sights. I practice point shooting as taught by Col. Rex Applegate (point shooting isn’t hip shooting). For hunting, I would use the sights.

During dry fire drills, I practice techniques that will break my tunnel vision which I’ll likely get in such a very stressful situation. I don’t need to do that for hunting or target

I also try to train myself on being aware of how far away the baddy is. If too close, then I won’t attempt to draw the gun lest he makes a play for it and gains control of the gun.

I also have to be acutely aware of the situation. Does it warrant drawing the gun from my vertical shoulder holster and firing it?

Edit: Also, unlike target shooting and hunting, when it comes to self defense, retreat, if it can be done safely, is almost always the best option.

I also practice reloading my revolver without looking at the gun, so I can focus on the threat, when either stationary or on the move. Something I would never do at the shooting range or when hunting.
