    I agree completely with Matt. He’s delta or special forces, right?

    Regarding turtle and hoser, I think those guys sometimes get vilified by FUDDs not realizing neither is the goal and if you ever saw Max Michel or other top GMs shoot they never look rushed, just efficient with a shit ton of alphas at speed.

    That’s kind of the point I was making. More skill is more skill and opens up options.

    Most people practice handguns as a sport or hobby and it’s a different bucket of opportunity cost than self defense tactical classes.
    Former Delta.

    I think to the question of practice I think for better or for worse many people do treat self defense / tactics as their hobby and prioritization needs to happen. But getting really good at shooting matches (the right way) means being able to apply the right level of shot confirmation prior to sending it, on any given target from a full USPSA at 2 yards vs partials/steel at 30-40.

    I think it's also interesting that at my local club there was a time when we were putting up a lot of no-shoots behind steel targets - basically a no fail type shot (at least in a match context). During tear down I would rarely see more than a handful of holes in the no-shoot, for a match with 60+ shooters with skill levels all over the place.

    I agree he has a way of phrasing that tends to come across as strongly opinionated. I think he is one of those people I mentioned who started out shooting controlled all the time and does not have any real trouble reverting to that when needed.

    According to Pat Rogers post on Lightfighter years ago, after the NYPD shooting on Times Square (IIRC), those are just blobs and don't count.

    Don't know, maybe he'd have stood behind that statement if someone he'd taught got in a jam.
    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

    I’ve been thinking about the push for speed and “prepping” the trigger while presenting the gun. The more I contemplate it, the more I think it may be a bad way to train for a self defense scenario. Is this circumventing the assessment process? And setting one up for some unintended consequences?

    If someone is training to fire no matter what every time they draw the gun, that's a huge problem. But, getting on the trigger as soon as the muzzle is pointed at the target can be a valid technique for a faster shot, assuming that shot must be taken. It seems to me that we need to train for scenarios ranging from

    • Fire a shot as fast as humanly possible. See John Correa's numbers, listed in this article.
    • Draw to a ready position, finger off trigger.

    I'm going to break out some posts to RR/GD, where I'm hoping we can continue to argue respectfully.

    I think there may still be value left in this thread. Stand by.

    OK. Done. Carry on...

    There are times in dry fire that focus on vision and not working the trigger should be the focus. Hopefully during those times you don't find yourself prepping the trigger. I would also say when pushing speed on the draw you should isolate the draw and not working the trigger when you get to the sub .8 .7 draws
