A Very Intresting Topic.

Wheter using sights or a flash sight or no sights for me has always be determined by distance. The distance to the bad guy.

When the distance is O to 3 yards, I never extend the pistol I'm holding. I hold it close to the body so that it is protected from slaps or grabs. I pratice with the Ol' Three Pound Coffee Can Target (I cut both ends out of a three pound can of coffee and use it as a stencil with white spray paint to get a circle center of mass on the target). I pratice drawing the weapon, holding close to the body and instenctively shooting. I've been doing this for so long there is no problem keeping them in the circle.

From 3 to 10 yards I always use a flash front sight picture with the arms extend in a point shoulder stance. I figure that I have the time to atleast get a good flash sight of the front sight at this distance and range. The is the range I preach, "Front Sight, Front Sight, Front Sight, Cover, Cover, Cover"

After 10 yards, I try to use a normal sighting stance, always aided by cover.

Cover can not be underrated, distance and cover are your friends. Things that keep bullets from your body are as important is accurate shooting. I have found from LEO Involved Shootings and Military Combat that you have three basic things to do in a gunfight, Move, Shoot and Communicate.
Its one thing to shoot at a target, but another with the rounds start comming at you.

This is just what works for me. I'm really intrested to see what other use and do.
