A flaw of the 1911 could be fatal 4 you.

I tried the described method a while ago and discarded it for it neither is as accurate as some books say nor it is natural. One can develop decent hand eye coordination withour using index finger. It will only take maybe 1000 rounds and a few days. Doesn't seem like author has a great deal of experience to be writing articles let alone bs'ing about 1911.
 
What a cheese stick, sorry, but your quote from the us army points out what a stupid ass article this is. Anyone who practices will be able to point it as effectively as the pistoleer's did in the 1800's...that was a waste of 3 minutes Ill never get back.

I suppose the author holds the patent on a 'safe' slide stop with an integral c-clip?
 
I actually don't mind reading stuff like this, just because it helps me get to know my gun better, and when I tried it on my Norc 1911 sure enough the pin backed out a bit... but honestly, I don't plan on shooting that way, EVER... for ANY reason... so, after due consideration I have to say loud and clear:

Honestly... The only thing worse than being a ####ing idiot is going out of your way to let everyone know by posting links to your 'article'.
 
This hasn't been locked yet?

What is this guy's purpose? To litter the 'net with false information? As if that needs to be done on purpose . . .
 
Quote from his "article":

Further, as in days of old, a housebreaker or highway-man, will not allow you the time needed to achieve a proper stance, get a proper grip, align the sights, breath properly, and squeeze off a shot.

I counted SEVEN commas in that single sentence. His article is poorly written bullsh!t.

I don't have a 1911 so I don't feel qualified to comment on that side of the argument, although, I will go so far as to say that the newb has that true-believer vibe that I find so very off-putting.

On topic of the point shooting technique, I am going to try it out. According to a book linked off buddy's site it can be very useful on a dark highway when your carriage has been set upon by bandits. Wherefore one must defend ones life and property with a rapier or short sword in the dominant hand and a pistol in the other. :D
 
if that was the case, there would be far more lmg/mmg operators dead than there are- typical case- danger close, and the lmg( 60) runs dry or jams for some reason- even if another belt is close at hand, you still have to open the cover, put the belt in ,close the cover, charge the weapon- that's if you got the time- if you don't, you go to your SECONDARY RIGHT NOW-and chances are you won't even think about sight, breath control, or any other thing - point and boom- and you'll do the fastest mag change in history too
 
I bet it that puching out the slide stop may have actually been a problem back in the original design on the 1911. (I've seen people do it on modern "tweaked" 1911's and it jams it up fierce). It is simple to learn not to do so. However! You want a simpler solution than revise your grip? File down the shaft of the slide stop so it doesn't protrude past the frame sides. No more pushing it out. Solved. This guy is just trying to sell his books/theories for $10 plus S&H for the CD. Ignore him and move on.
