The hit rate in CQ armed encounters has been for many many years, and still is, less than 20%, which means that more than 4 out of every 5 bullets miss the target and go somewhere else.
And to me that clearly indicates that Sight Shooting which is taught to Police and civilians alike, is not or can not be used in real life or death CQ situations where there is the greatest chance of being shot and or killed.
Per the FBI, if you are going to be shot and or killed, there is an 80% chance that it will happen at less than 20 feet.
Also, Sight Shooting has been taught for 100+ years, but there are no pics or videos of it being used effectively in a CQ armed encounter. You would think there would be thousands of them, and some would be shown to all new shooters. I have never seen even one, in person or on the web. They are rarer than hen's teeth.
Doesn't mean Sight Shooting HAS NEVER BEEN used effectively in a CQ armed encounter by the millions of Police and civilians with guns over the past 100 years. Some people have even said that they have used it effectively. Could be they did, or thought they did, or they just got lucky. Whose to say otherwise.
Finally, and per the stats and studies of real CQ gunfights, might be a good idea to expend 10 rounds or so Point Shooting whenever you are at the range, or are dry firing with or without a gun at home, just in case that's what you will end up doing if you ever are in a real life or death CQ gunfight.
Here's a link to a recent article of mine titled:
Sight Shooting training (Traditional Marksmanship), sets up Police and civilians to be killed.

The video of the recent shooting in Dallas was the reason for it.
