Is this a good training vid?
We have muzzle sweeps all over...
Orange tape indicator on magazines but some sort of live ammo "dinging" the down range metal plates... I also note that while showing the throat impacts, the bg never fights back... I am highly suspect that this ain't the best training in the nation... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=ZVCz8Tl2ELk Brent |

I question why one would consider a pistol a contact weapon when its still loaded?
I would use it as a club if it ran empty and there wasn't a bigger club at hand. And standing beside a target while it is being engauged isn't something I would be doing. In fact I will not even do draw and move drills unless there are only 2 of us.

If someone was trying to kill me,I believe I would release the bad guy in my custody fast and then start shooting the second bad guy.

According to their YouTube channel, the names of the instructors are Hollywood, Moose and De-Fib.

When I was a range officer with the Anchorage Police Dept. we did a lot of identical training in Firearms and Officer Safety. EXCEPT We didn't use real guns. they make little blue or other colored hard rubber pistols for just about any type service revolver/pistols LEOs carry. We used those. It is valuable training. I remember once, having a bandit in a choke hold with my left arm, and covered his partner who was swinging a chain, with my Servicer Revolver with the other. Believe it or not, its hard to hold a sight picture when you are holding someone who is flopping around. Talk about "point shooting" all you want, but sights are pretty handy when you want to keep someone on the other end of a 15 foot chain swinging around, away from you. Yes, valuable training, but you aren't loosing that much if you are using dummy guns. The safety aspect out weights the bit you loose by not using real guns. What that training really does, more then anything else, is makes the officer THINK. A side note, such training really stresses the need for practice with one hand (left and right) training. Something few cops practice. Knowing that they seldom have both hands free. If I was to have to come up with a number, I'd say 90% of your defensive pistol practice should be with one hand, 60 with the weak hand and 30% with the strong hand.

The first thing you need to point out is that the people are using simunitions. The rounds that they're using are not real ammo. Simunitions are special practice rounds to be used in training like the one in the video.

Is simunition safe to use on bare skin ad close range?
Maybe they are less impact than a paintball gun... But the round is making the trip from muzzle to target pretty dern fast so I suspect the speed pretty high making a close range shot pretty painful... Brent |

What are they trying to prove standing beside the target. I dont care what type of ammo they are using its still dangerous and pointless. And makes them look like asses.

Most places use Airsoft stuff because it doesn't hurt that much. With Airsoft you might get a small bruise or blood blister but Siminitions will hurt you a lot more. I would be very careful showing this video and make darn sure you tell any students to NOT do what those guys are doing because it is still dangerous.
