What you’re describing is called “point shooting”.

I didn't mean to imply that.

What I do with any other firearm is focus on the front sight with the target behind it, release my breath about a third, and squeeze the trigger. I look hard at the sight and the target. That doesn't work with the snubbie; I end up pushing up and left.

With the snub nose I still look at the sight with the target behind it, but without the intensity. I have to almost not care if it fires in order to hit it. It's hard to explain. Zen, maybe?

Maybe it makes a difference with the trigger pull. Smaller handguns have HEAVY triggers and I can't start being concerned about where it breaks.

I'm sure a professional, which I am not, could figure out what I'm trying to express.

Do you play billiards? That's about the best way I can explain it. When playing "pool", after you get pretty good you stop aiming....you just "know".

It's the same thing with pistol accuracy. if you practice enough, you'll forget that your weapon has sights at all.
