This video explains the concept of 'gross sight pictures' for red dot equipped pistols, focusing on how to achieve a better index for faster and more accurate shots. It details three primary gross sight pictures: using the back plate, the optic housing, and the 'guillotine' method of bisecting the A-zone. The instructor emphasizes that these gross sight pictures are about making appropriately accurate shots at speed, not necessarily tight groups.
This video explains that red dot sights on pistols are not inherently slower for close-range engagements; the perceived slowness is often due to shooter technique. It details two "gross sight picture" methods: using the back of the slide or the optic housing as a reference at very close distances (under 3 yards), and the "guillotine" method, which uses the top curvature of the optic housing as an aiming point. The instructor emphasizes looking through the optic at the target, not at the optic itself.
