John G. Johnson outlines the 'Five Layers of Accuracy' for pistol shooting: Foundation (stance), Control (grip), Visual (sight alignment/focus), Mechanical (trigger control), and Discipline (follow-through). He emphasizes a stable, athletic stance, a high and firm grip initiated by the pinky, front sight focus with a 6 o'clock hold, a smooth trigger press, and maintaining sight picture through the shot and until the firearm is made safe. The instruction aims to build consistent hits and defensive accuracy.
