    yeh well im kinda learning and getting comfortable with a safety method a cop was teaching me. which is the pointing method. once you are needing to withdraw your weapon, you dont have any time to really aim. pretty much just like pointing your finger. he hits a target at all times within 20-25 yards once weapon is withdrew. target is about the size of your midsection. lol i dont think a compact gun is that way to go for long distance shooting anyways.

    IMO i wouldnt mention that "method" while on the stand for self defense. Pretty sure no judge or jury will like you just pointing and pressing the trigger (not aiming). In cqb some schools of thought will let you ride by with front sight aiming, some say each and every shot should be: target,front sight, rear sight, trigger press. I really cant imagine his groups being that great from point shooting?!?!

    Personally there is no way i could train to not aim, and just point shoot. I think thats just asking for trouble.

    Compact guns are not the best for long distance. But 25yds is well within the reach of practically every pistol out there, even the tiny sub compact kahrs.

    Also, what did this have to do with my comment about people not carrying compensated guns? If you were just making conversation, cool beans
    "The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
