I just found this new shooting style.
The C.A.R. system
I think it looks rather interesting and am going to try it out the next time I go to the range. What do you think?

Learned this technique awhile ago. Its a modified version of certain SWAT teams CQC pistol techniques. I've tried it a few times at the range, at 10 yards its effective, and is really stable. The downside is it limits vision directly infront and down of you, so flat spaces its fine but stairs and cluttered walk spaces can make it difficult to move learned that the hard way when I was trying it out dry fireing practicing with it. It really forces you to maintain focus on the front sight. It also makes switching hands easier, or off hand shooting easier.

I've seen this method before actually. Good for point shooting/quick engagement IMO.
AIMED Point Shooting or P&S

I was just going to post that some police departments use this. Sure enough the 2nd response down below that article was from the exact police department (Hopatcong, NJ) I was thinking of.

Its a small world.

I read about it while back and quickly forgot all about it. I just spent some time researching it at Sabre Tactical website and it looks to be worthy of looking further into it.

I'm all about staying alive out on the streets and anything I can incorporate into my tactical toolbox is a plus.

This is sometimes use to keep the wrist straight when point shooting from certain angles.

I have seen this used before as well. Accuracy tends to drop off drastically as you are not gripping the gun in a manner that allows it to fall back into position immediately from recoil. Instead you are trying to compensate by rotating the pistol in such a way as to lock your arms. It is good enough for very close work where you just need to place 2 in COM though. The only real advantage I have heard of from this is the ability to draw closer to the body, giving the BG less of an opportunity to take your weapon. But, if that that gun is out, why did you give the BG an opportunity to take the thing in the first place? Normally we, ass CCW'rs are drawing to shoot, not to threaten. I tried it, not my thing. Doesn't mean there isn't a purpose for others I suppose.

A PA state trooper showed me that technique about a year ago. I works great if you are cross-eyed dominant. It lets you hold the gun in your right hand and use your left eye for sighting. It's a good alternative for us oddballs.
