"You commented on sights, so apparently you totally understand that 'no' sighting system is 100% dialed in at every distance. That is why we all set our sights to the distance that we expect our weapons will be used. Geeeeez"
I don't see anywhere Mr Magoo had mentioned sights, can you give us the quote in his post skyguy?
"That is why we all set our sights to the distance that we expect our weapons will be used"
First, we don't ALL set our sights. Mainly because fixed sights can not be set except for windage to begin with and many people use fixed sights. Now adjustable sights, they CAN be set, but I have never seen one person reset sights for anywhere near combat distances either, they are usually left alone.
So I'll ask, how you come to state "That is why we all set our sights ?
"For self defense ranges past point shooting range (which is arms length to about 20 ft), the laser should be adjusted to poa/poi and sighted in at about 40 ft. At that range my lasergripped 1911 will generally group about 3" or less. About the size of your forehead."
You set your laser for poa/poi at 40 feet? Why? The odds of you having to use it in a civilian or police setting at that range are slim and slimmer by all accounts. Seems inappropriate to go against the odds on the street to me.
"Just place the dot….and you'll hit that spot."
Seems you have just stated the opposite based on Mr Magoos posting, why are you continuing to use a misnomer like that?
"All other sighting systems have certain poses and form that require consistent practice."
WRONG again skyguy.
QK can be shot upside down, from your sides, standing on one foot, two feet, iso, weaver, one handed, two handed, and does not have any ONE pose that requires consistant practice. About the only way I haven't shot it is standing on my head, but I know it will work if I ever find I need to use it that way.
We've figured out how to run and get 90% hits with QK, what pose would that be considered? I pose the question because you really do not understand nor comprehend what QK is or how it works to be making statements like those above.
Call me silly, but your statments seem geared toward continually pushing the laser on people at considerable expense of others skills.
