How do you personally recommend maintaining body position/weapon position when in a high threat environment? Do you teach and preach the position that he had pictured at the beginning of the article? The one where elbows are in, pistol almost on chest, weapon pointed at highest priority threat area???
I saw where he stated its possible to shoot from this safety position if at physical "contact" distance, but otherwise to extend arms and obtain a "flash site picture". Does this jive with your beliefs? How about you, Team Sergeant? This article was written as an offensive hallway clearing scenario. Would this extreme close range form of point shooting be the only acceptable time to not obtain a flash front site?

Yes, although I tend to lower the barrel just a little to keep from flagging good guys. Somewhat of a modified low ready, call it a medium ready. Also, pieing the corners can be really fast with practice. Usually when you see it demonstrated at a school, it looks slow, but it doesn't have to be.
Speed, surprise and violence of action - whatever gets you to that place.
