Thank you for taking the time to read the article.
The CHP trains... having been through the training with Lou.. and if you have to ask who Lou is you don't know the origins of the training.....to the same technique as the late Jim Cirillo (spelling help here)... which is to tape up the sights and then not so much point the gun but to index it... much like the stressfire index which is where I believe Mas got the technique... you are looking over the top of the gun or indexing the back of the gun on the target... we are still indexing the gun...
week before last I was at a little class with Clint Smith... he said "...you didn't drop out of your mother's womb with a gun in your hand...there is not such thing as instinctive shooting" and then he went on to talk about the great Bill Jordon who did amazing things with his sixgun... and who also had a basically endless supply of taxpayer supplied ammo (border patrol) to teach himself to shoot that way....

I refer the reader also to Ed McGivern's book for further on very quick sighted shooting...
