Not sling shoting it, that uses too may muscles, it's an awkward position to utilize and has tendency to throw your balance off. Plus it takes your eyes and muzzle off target muzzle.
This^ I prefer to be in the low ready position, with the pistol closer in, utilizing shoulder/chest muscles to do the work, I see many folks holding the pistol out away from the body, as if they are scared of it, keep the barrel in a safe direction, and finger off the trigger, and you won't have any problems.
