Thank you. The stance shown in your illustration is similar to what I use.

I’m used to watching these TV shows where all the clowns are running around holding a pistol with both arms outstretched keeping the weapon in their line of sight at all times which means twisting their whole body instead of quickly turning their head to see what’s on either side.

To me this is just dumb as ones forward and peripheral vision is reduced. In addition the first thing visible when walking through a door is the weapon and outstretched arms making it easy to just knock the weapon out of the clowns hands.

With Point Shooting the aim can be adjusted about as quickly as a target can be recognized.

Another stupid thing on TV is when they expose their entire body as a target when shooting around a left corner using their right hand or both hands. It’s just dumb!

I hope real cops and soldiers do not do this. It is very possible to train ones left hand for accurate shooting.

Speaking of movie gun fiction...I roll my eyes whenever an assailant holds a sidearm out in front with one or two arms extended...and then proceeds to walk up to the "victim" to within a foot. THAT is an indefensible position.

Better call Saul: Trevor vs. Mike Ehrmantraut.
