Point shooting vs. aimed shooting in a self defense situation

[Kaleva]

I decided quite awhile ago that I'll never get the training to instinctively use the sights of my revolver when facing an antagonist in a life or death situation. I might not even see the gun in front of me as I most likely will be entirely focused on the threat.

So I practice point shooting during dry fire drills at home and live fire at a nearby range.

A technique called "Pistol Quick Kill" is similiar:

"n the late 1990s and early 2000s, Robin Brown (a former student of Lucky McDaniel) popularized Pistol Quick Kill.[citation needed]

With Pistol Quick Kill, the pistol is gripped and pointed at a target much like a person would point their finger. "When you point, you naturally do not attempt to sight or aim your finger. It will be somewhat below your eye level in your peripheral vision, perhaps 2-4 inches below eye level."

The same applies when pointing a gun at a target. Just as with pointing their finger, the user will "...see the end of the barrel and/or front sight while looking at the target...You have not looked at the gun or front sight, just the target."

"With Quick Kill, the focus is always on the target, never having to adjust one's gaze or focus even remotely on the near object [the gun or sights].""
