M9 Beretta Point Shoot Training

This is the Point Shoot I created at our base in Iraq. For those who aren't familiar, point shooting is an advanced technique. After you are proficient in the basics of marksmanship, you work on looking at the target, pointing at it and shooting. Sounds easy, but hitting the target, w/o the muscle memory gained from precision firing practice, is much harder than you think. Especially outside of 7 meters. Enjoy

@benkerr69 This video was in Sharqat.

must have been nice to have been on a big fob

[ronin1018]

@benkerr69 Actually our unit was never assigned to a big fob. Our Company operated independently of the Battalion and Brigade AO. We always had our on AO. This particular one was a hotel that we took over and made our own firing range. It was about the size of 2 football field placed side by side. Every deployment I went on with this company was like this. Tents and Hescos. That's it.

So why everybody hates the m9?

[ronin1018]

@claudiobenassi85 A lot of people don't like the design and function. It's a dated design, admittedly. It's not my first choice for personal ownership, even though I've had one before, but it is a good firearm. A lot of people don't like the 9mm round as well.

Point shooting isn't especially advanced. I think most would say it's the exact opposite. One handed unsighted fire at very close range, two handed unsighted fire at just farther than point blank, and conventional sighted fire at anything farther than the aforementioned seven yards. You trade precision for instinctive speed.

[John234pwns]

@tobitadagon In retrospect I really have to agree, since you have to know the basics of stance, clean trigger pull and the basics of shooting down pat before you can run it at high speed confidently.

[tobitadagon]

@John234pwns I think that if you were to design a training progression you would start with "proper" sighted shooting to develop proper grip, trigger pull, etc. and then once the basics of manipulation are understood and performed competently, you start training in instinctive shooting. In sum: if based on complexity of action, instinctive shooting is simpler, but an advanced stage of pistol marksmanship training.

So what handgun would you like to see in the hands of soldiers in war? Also, if you know, what gun do the soldiers around you want, since it's being replaced.

[John234pwns]

@MrEvelDoer Opinions change over time and I'd tend to agree. It does take more practice than static shooting.

[MrEvelDoer]

@John234pwns It is more advanced than just standing still firing down range at paper targets. so in my book this drill is advanced compared to the typical suburban range shooter.

@benkerr69 correction late jss oubaidy got handed over to the NP's
