Accepted Answer

Establishing a proper two-handed grip before acquiring the sight picture

Accepted Answer

Using body index and weapon orientation rather than sights at extreme close range

Answer

At extreme close quarters (under 3 yards), officers may use body index/point shooting because there is insufficient time to acquire sights.

Accepted Answer

A consistent mechanical or sight-adjustment issue, not a fundamentals error
