SORRY CHARLIE.
THE EFFECTIVE USE OF SIGHT SHOOTING IN CQB
IS A MYTH.
That Sight Shooting will be used in a real life threat close quarters self defense/home defense situation, is a nice and comforting theory, but it's way short in the proof department.
There is little if any proof that Sight Shooting has been used effectively in Close Quarters gunfights.
Now that statement seems to be ridiculous at first glance, since Sight Shooting has been taught for 100+ years. As such, there should be hundreds or thousands of pics and videos of it being used in combat.
But that is not the case. They are rarer than hens' teeth.
Some say that they have used Sight Shooting, or that they know of others that have used Sight Shooting in armed encounters, and that they got hits.
I accept that, as I don't believe that it has never been used successfully.
The question is when and where, against whom and under what conditions,
was the shooter acting or reacting, what was the distance, who shot first, what was the hit rate, and etc...
The following is from a research article on the SureSight site that deals with the use of the sights in gunfights.
"It is an acknowledged fact that very few gunfight survivors ever remember seeing their sights at all during a life-threatening encounter. In other words, regardless of the amount of practice using the sights at the target range, the vast majority of shootout survivors are unable to see their sights when faced with life-threatening stress. One study found that when faced with stress, "93% of officers focused on the threat, not the weapon, and 88% of the officers resorted to binocular vision.'”
