In real world civilian gunfights the need for speed far qut weighs the need for precsion.
In the recent civilian gunfight ranges thread Lurper posted
"Distance is usually 6 feet or less (one agency said they had no record of a civilian shooting occuring at more than 21 feet).
70% happen in the home
80% in low light or darkness
45% 1st shot hits
***
It is a safe bet that most occur at 21 feet or less. The time will be different depending on how you measure it. Number of rounds fired I am guessing will be in the neighborhood of 2-3. "
Based on what I have seen, the single most important skill to develop as a civilian is the ability to hit the target quickly."
I agree with his analysis. As long as you can get torso hits speed is far more important. The time taken to raise your pistol to eye level and align the sights is time you probably do not have.
