A former Marine Corps marksmanship instructor has an interesting theory (http://qr.ae/8lvhl) on why gangsters (in the movies or maybe even in real life) decide to shoot their guns sideways: it's actually a good idea in theory to quickly aim a firearm.

[SIZE=2]Yep! It doesn't just look cool, turning your gun sideways actually has some benefits for gangsters. In firing a weapon, you want to follow an important sighting practice called, "building the castle"

I've never tried it, but I was told that a semi-auto shot sideways would usually result in a malfunction. Maybe not? :ne_nau:

Old School way works for me. :nod:

I may have to try the sideway shooting in my semi autos to see if they jam.
