To tell some one they are wrong! Especially in utilizing ways to keep us alive, has never been my intent.
But not passing on something we have learned, taught, and tested, is being remiss in my view.
This is not new, not sure who invented it. But I taught it to LEO Firearms Instructors, for twenty years. As a board member of IALEFI.
Started out calling it the SAS Canada PUNCH DRAW. The name of my first training Company, forgot to renew the license! Lost the name.
So it became simply the Punch Draw.
The mechanics are simple, moving a holstered pistol, from the belt, to the point that it is fired, at the threat, in the shortest possible distance, and time.
Note, you are not lifting the sights up to the target, as you would, as you described, if the pistol is already in your hands.
Drop gun hand to pistol, establish first and final grip, lift pistol from holster, as it clears the holster, with the nose of the barrel, lift the pistol with your wrist, to be aligned with your forearm, now direct the pistol at the target, like it was a punch, the strong hand meets the support hand, level with the upper chest, three things happen now together, your eyes see the sights, the hands stop forward movement, the trigger is pressed! A PUNCH! The first shot goes off. That is what you did, there is nothing faster.
I always found them to be very simple and intuitive. You just pick up the front dot as the gun comes up, put it on the target, and the two rear dots are just slightly lower as the gun is coming up (giving the impression of a shallow triangle and helping in indexing the gun) and rock into a nice even line as the gun comes into presentation. The bullet goes to where the center dot sits. You get instant horizontal and vertical alignment without having to think about it.
