I am looking for a good pistol shooting method to practice which starts from condition 3. I have determined in my opinion the Israeli Point Shooting method to be the way to go. Is anyone familiar with this method or can suggest maybe another? I have zero formal pistol training other then my RPAL.

thanks for the help!
 
I’m curious why you think starting from condition 3 is the way to go?

If I were you, I would seek training in conventional pistol instruction first and if you find that to be lacking, then seek further instruction. I highly recommend Phase Line Green Tactical. Earl is a fantastic pistol instructor and a course with him will open your eyes.

Check out ECQC instruction by Craig Douglas (google shivworks) for anything else point shooting relation.

Lots of stuff looks cool on the internet, please don’t be sucked into it.
 
What province are you in, OP?

Edit: I just googled what Israeli Point Shooting is, and please for the love of god, seek some formal training in your area before you spend too much time reading into that.

I watched a U.S. Army training vid from 1943??
Anyways with the 1911.. that is what they were training their soldiers for..
point shooting..multiple targets at multiple ranges..
fast and on target.. center of Imperial Japanese soldier
 
I looked up what Israeli point shooting is. That is a very slow and very outdated way of doing things. This method exists for a couple reasons that are not relevant today and even then was a little silly.

If you are interested in point shooting sometimes referred to as instinctive shooting you will have better luck finding answers depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

I see some people said to get training which is good but may not be relevant. What are you trying to accomplish? Getting training for competition shooting will be different than combat/tactical/defensive shooting and vice versa.

Agree that Earl runs a great course, I've done 4 or 5 over the years with him (pistol, carbine, shotgun). You will learn a lot from him. And as a bonus, he is pretty entertaining too.
 
Get professional training . Before you do, think real hard on whether you have the ability to kill someone and accept the results.
Because, if you can't, you could be dead because the other person will take your threat seriously!
 
Bud, they only developed that method, because of the wide plethora of the handguns in their arsenals (to keep universal handling rules as safe as possible across the board). Not because it was in any way superior or better to the other methods. Please, don't make a mistake of judgement. I actually did train with the former Israeli serviceman.
 
Condition 3 carry and point shooting are two separate things.
Point shooting is the most natural way to quickly get a shot on target with both eyes open. The price is accuracy, especially with followup shots.
Condition 3 carry is a safety thing. You have a much (MUCH) higher chance of accidentally hurting yourself or a loved one if you carry a round in the chamber, than you do of ever having to shoot someone. When you carry with a round in the chamber you can shave 0.5-1 seconds off the time it takes to get your first shot on target. You also gain the ability to get the first shot off if you only have one hand free. Is it worth the risk? In the US they think it is. In Israel they think it isn't.
Carrying in Canada is not allowed anyway so what's the point of training as if you have a round in the chamber when the gun should (legally) always start from an unloaded position?
 
1) Seek IPSC or IDPA course. Join a club which shoots IPSC or IDPA regularly.

2) Stop reading bs tales from the internet.

1.practice in your residence. (unloaded of course, confirmed safe)
2.keep your finger off the trigger and pointing down the slide (your "FINGER" SHOULD always be off the trigger, unless ready to fire)
3.Point your finger at the target, confirm sight picture
4.Profit ????
