    I’ve gotten away from focusing on the front sight of a handgun (or red dot). You can’t shoot fast focusing on a point at the end of your hand. 
    It was an epiphany when I realized two things:
    -The fight is “out there”, so focus on the fight. 
    -Focusing on the front sight is slow. 

    Teaching to concentrate focus on the front sight after initial understanding/learning of sight picture/alignment is both antiquated and detrimental to improving a shooters speed and situational awareness. 

    I see the front sight/red dot. 
    I use the front sight/red dot. 
    I don’t FOCUS on the front sight/red dot. 
    BINGO!!!!!!!

    Great insight from all.  Thanks very much.  
    Knowledge is essential to living freely and fully; understanding gives knowledge purpose and strength; wisdom is combining the two and applying them appropriately in words and actions.
