Here is an equation, I share with people I train. "Awareness+distance divided by time=tactics"
The more you are aware of what is happening around you, you can then begin to adjust to the...
There are unfortunately hundreds of examples we can and should be aware of. The bottom line, no person should feel threatened or face a life taking situation, without having the power to have an...
Yes back in 1986, I was on the line with pistol qual, in the marines, and one of the 1911's, was "slam firing". Even after he took his finger off the trigger. But this was an old pistol, that was...
Yes, I have seen it from time to time, and yes I just cringe and shake my head. I have witnessed, amateur's (limited trained couriers), retired professionals from Law enforcement do it as well. On...
My take on why? Think about it from the stand point of a human being, in your life what was the one place that was sanctuary? The bathroom. This is the one place that few people go with you, when...
I am not a fan of Glock, just my personal preference in how it feels in my hand, I have shot various models over the years. They are reliable and well build machines. My main issue with Glock...
thanks
I have carried a 1911 pistol for long, long time. The only time I can remember, my thumb safety coming off, was in a cheap holster. Also, it was time to switch out springs, so that too added to it....
Don't get me wrong, I am a super strong advocate of carrying spare magazine and cartridges. That is a good point nothing else, can grab and go, I just don't see the super advantage, but what happens...
Okay, we all know I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I am also sure this has been discussed, but couldn't find it. Why would you want to have a holster, with a spare magazine on it? I assume...
We all know that Remington has had some issues in the past, but still make some great firearms. Few weeks ago, I was at one of my local firearm stores, and noticed he had a Remington RP45, marked...
OMG, I know right!! I do it all the time, when I use anything, when done my finger registers. I told my assistant instructor few years back, in advance classes you can watch people in the...
I have worn glasses since the 5th grade, in the last 5 years my eyes have gotten worst. But, I do not worry if my glasses ever got knocked off in a fight or for whatever reason, because I train also...
Are you using the "modern two hand method", where your support hand at a 45 degree angle down comes in and gives you a straight wrist? If not do it, if so, try and come to a "ready position", then...
Cecil awesome video and explanation, totally agree
My opinion, maybe all manufacturer should have printed on the case of each firearm. "As a responsible citizen, it is your responsibility to keep it from unauthorized people". This will drive the...
Years ago, I found myself falling into this trap, but in a different way. Without a doubt we want and should strive to be more accurate (who doesn't want to draw and fire five shots into a postage...
One thing people often forget about it that we all have different size hands and different "issues" with fingers or wrists. There is a reason that the rear sight on a pistol is designed to be moved....
Looks well done. I do agree need little more perspective of the "Identification/WE". I typically explain it this way, "Growing up in society we often are raised to be part of the collective. When...
When I go to the range I "purposely" set up, one or two rounds in magazines and "force" a reload, which in turn gives me the repetition needed for "practice". I do the same thing in a class for...
I have been asked this question, more in recent years than use to be. It seems people aren't asking to pass judgement, but asking to convince themselves of the times we live in. As an Instructor, I...
great drill, worked it last night.
I find that once people start getting the "hang of it", that 15 seconds is good. Once they get "cocky", I then have them shoot Mod Presidente (forget where I learned it or original name), Start out...
gotta love this forum, will try this drill tonight, looks like a great drill. I could really see putting "splash" of color in there making it little more of "thought challenging".
