Someone - as I recall, a training officer in the Massachusetts State Police named Conti - recently did a series of articles on training police officers for The Real Thing. One point he made was that, in an actual gunfight, most officers aren't using their sights. Therefore, time spent in formal marksmanship training is not well spent, since it has little in common with an encounter in a dark hallway.
That's one viewpoint. How valid is it? Anyone care to contribute, especially with comments based on actual shooting encounters?
I guess I'm curious to know if Mr. Conti has the right idea, and it would benefit other jurisdictions to put more emphasis on combat-style training vs stand-at-the-firing-line training.

If God didn't want us to own guns, why did He make the 1911?
