I'm not operator, or any of the such. My pistol is what it is meant to do a short distance firearm to get to something bigger (rifle/shotgun). I do not care of I am hitting 2in groups at 25 feet. Most real pistol gun fights happen at less then 3-5 yards.

I do not bullseye shoot. I shoot with thought I need to moving and shooting. Standing there like a sitting duck while drawing my pistol will be the death of me. ( Makes a great target). I move, draw and fire. First part is moving nothing less. Yes I practice this. I don't aim at targets, I point at them. Yes aimed shots are a good thing when you need them. But I only use that time to practice after I have practiced moving and shooting. As in not 90 to the right of a right handed shooter and visa versa. Any direction that makes the other shooter have to do something. I am not real happy with my 5 inch groups at 4-7 yards, but in the situation I will come across thats pretty good.

Yes I have taking classes to make my shootng better. I'm not the sit at the range and blow holes in a target in the A/C and say look at this I can hit the Bullseye with in a 1inch a 25 yards......

I do not know if that would be more effective in a civilians life and death situation.

I do know that being accurate allows me to be faster with more accuracy. I can be stupidly fast blam blam blam just like every one else. More over I can do it with much better accuracy than most of the tactical practicals out there.

I am not sure that civilian defense situations require speed over accuracy.

I do not think everyone has the capability to be an operator, a competitor, o fast gun, but i do believe that most people can be accurate to one inch at 30 ft.

Being able to pic a target at close confrontation distances and hit that accurately and consistently will server you better than being fast and missing or wounding your target.

That's what I was saying...it's the fastest ACCURATE shots that count...not seeing how fast you can get shots off. However, the first person to hit the other person center mass usually comes out ahead

Also, I believe I spend too much of my training time pulling the trigger and not enough getting to the point where I will pull the trigger with my 1911s. OTOH for CAS, I spend a LOT of time getting the weapon to the point of pulling the trigger.

I am somewhat guilty of this also. I do not do a whole lot of draw from the holster as most ranges around here discourage it. Since we have moved here i have not even done a lot of unloaded weapon draw from the holster. I should start a regimen again.

We have a steel range at my club for RO's only that we draw from holster, shoot and scoot, rapid fire from 25 yards down to 10 yards

The only time we shoot indoors to avoid rain. Not many indoor range in Texas.

Accuracy is consistancy, consistancy is accuracy.

what if you are consistently inaccurate?
