I've practiced enough with it, that I am pretty quick with it, and all my shots are in about a 4 inch circle at that range.

Some folks will slam this technique, but it works for me.
Some other FI's in my department are die hard Jeff Copper fans and will only teach front site flash techniques. I (personally) use and teach what you are talking about BadMuther looking through your sites but concentrating on C.O.M. from 0-10 yards. Some people (usually the ones who are the faster shooters) Like the technique.

We also teach a body indexing where you square you shoulders with the target and shoot from the top of the hoslter for 0-3 feet.

I believe point shooting has its place as long as it is practiced!
