I also temper that with the reality one may have to make a “high value” shot and if so the focus would change back to the front sight.

BTW, I do hope you do not allow anyone within 0 feet of yourself unless you are wearing a condom…
TS,

If you don't mind would you appease me in a scenario question.

I'm not trying to split hairs here, nor am I trying to be condescending by my question. I know Bad Mofo used to be a cop and I currently work in the LEO field. So he can relate to my scenario. Unfortunatly there are a zillion variables in any give situation but how would you handle this situation? I understand you are not, nor were you a cop, and I'm not trying to mix your training and experience for that given to a standard cop. I'm just trying to possible learn something new.

You are on foot patrol in an urban area, you stop and talk to an individual and find out he has a Violent Crime (Felony) warrant out for his arrest. You tell the guy to turn around and place his hands behind his back, the guy is totally cooperates, you close the distance to place him into handcuffs, when you are about a foot away the guy turns and pulls a gun.

If anyone else wants to add how they would handle this I'm all ears.

Thank you Team Sergeant.
