A BRIEF ON AIMED POINT SHOOTING OR P&S
WHAT IS P&S?
AIMED Point Shooting or P&S is a natural method of aiming and shooting that is fast and accurate.
It is for use at close quarters, in good light or bad, when you can't see the sights or there isn't time to use them, when moving, and against moving targets. It also can ENHANCE most all other shooting methods.
HOW P&S WORKS?
You just place your index finger along the side of the gun, point at COM (Center of Mass), and pull the trigger with your middle or opposite hand index finger.
That's all there is to it. Point-n-pull. Point-n-pull. No more, no less.
With P&S you automatically get correct sight alignment and sight placement, and without going through the process of meeting the traditional and must-be-met requirements of Sight Shooting.
The photo below is from the US Marine Corps Pistol Manual of 2003.

LINKS TO ARTICLES.
Note: You will find that some of the articles contain the same basic info about P&S. An attempt has been made to keep that to a minimum. But, visitors do not have to read the site pages in order. They can selectively access a page via a search engine, or by clicking on a link of their choice. So what may be repetitive to one, may not be repetitive to another.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy your visit, and that you find info that is helpful to you.

Click here for a short video of shooting one handed.
Note that the pointing and shooting are done as one action. That is, I point at the target and as soon as my senses say that I am where I am pointing, I pull the trigger. As the US Army says in its combat Pistol Manual of 2003: "When a soldier points, he instinctively points at the feature on the object on which his eyes are focused. An impulse from the brain causes the arm and hand to stop when the finger reaches the proper position."

I had to make a FOIA request to the FBI to obtain the following document. My initial request was denied, so I had to appeal that, and so on and so forth. I jumped through those hoops, as I believe that the info in it is of value to the millions of law abiding folks who have a handgun for self defense. It also may help some realize that a gun is not a magical wand that will ward off evil and assure their safety and security.
