I completely agree, but also I assumed (and did not point it out) that I am forced into a face to face, as my thought was (right or wrongly) that if i was beside a BG, I could potentially retreat / cover, rather than fire.Excaliber wrote:This assumes that you are directly behind the person. If you are off at an angle or if the person's torso is at 90 degrees (or any angle between zero and 90) to yours, or if the target is partially obstructed by any intervening obstacle (vehicle, store shelf, etc.) your available target area will be somewhere between a little to a lot smaller.
The importance of precise shot delivery escalates as the available target area declines.

Re: expected accuracy from carry pistol at 15 yrd
When I go to the range, while I would LOVE to be at bullseye at 15 yards, I am happy if I hit the 8" target at all.
At 15 yards, my front dot completely covers an 8" target, so I cannot zero in to the bullseye.
My thought process however, if in a defensive situation.
if I aim for what I think is center mass on an attacker, and I hit 8" left, right, up or down, I should still hit the person,and if not, hopefully the BANG BANG BANG sounds will make him turn around
