Though D.J. does not use that term in the video, that is what we called it back in the day when I was taught this technique.
Simply put, "Metal on Meat" is SUPER IMPOSING the frame of your weapon on your target without taking the time to calculate sight alignment.
This is when you are surprised at relatively CQ ranges (under 10 yards) and MUST take the shot QUICKLY.
You can also apply this technique with an AR and an AK by simply super-imposing the front sight post on your target. The "wings" of the AK sight and some AR sights make it very easy to frame your target without having to take the time to align your center sight post.
Once again this is not a technique for accuracy but for getting rounds on target quickly before your target can do the same to you.
With RMR optics becoming more and more popular on both defensive handguns and carbines/rifles, this is a NO BRAINER drill IMO.
After all electronics WILL FAIL and batteries WILL GO DEAD when you least expect it and NEED them the most!
That POS Murphy is always on the Clock, so TRAIN for it!

Bat Masterson employed this technique for the "up close and personal" encounter. According to Colt records Masterson would order his revolvers with an oversize front sight blade.
I believe Lt Col Jeff Cooper would disagree with you. Shooting doesn't do you any good if you're not hitting the target. Not a tactical expert, just a fan of Cooper!
