    I attended the revolver roundup last fall and watched DB run through this exercise. He did it well under a second, which I believe was a first for him, and as anyone who shoots competition knows, once you break the psychological barrier it gets easier on to repeat on demand. He and Wayne emphasize 2 things: not shooting too fast, and being sure of your hits. Maybe that should be in the reverse order.

    With a 5 shot .38, nothing short of a perfect head shot is an (almost) guaranteed instant stop. Better to take another 0.1 seconds and be sure, than launch a glancing hit the have to follow up. For a close range torso shot, I agree- send ASAP and repeat as needed.

    The snub is a “one robber” gun so you don’t have any rounds to spare.

    One of the myriad takeaways from a Cecil Burch class is the alarming realization of how easy it is to miss someone that you are literally entangled with. Seriously, it’s jarring the first time he walks people through it.

    I figure the same, but I was thinking if it comes to shooting I’m going to shoot from my pocket, not bothering to draw the gun.

    That can be tricky, in the case of pants’ pockets.
    Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.

    Don’t tread on volcanos!

    As the person who recorded the video...

    DB said he was gonna demo it and I said "wait! let me record it!" He did that cold. It was his first shot of the day.
