Quick punch (3)

I believe the answer is:

jab

'quick punch' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for jab that I've seen before include "Short stiff blow or thrust" , "Inoculation" , "A short stiff punch" , "Short straight punch" , "Prod" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, the LA Times and the Newsday.
