It seems that 3G wants to claim that competition is sufficient while that flies in the face of what we know about training.

The late Jim Cirillo did just fine in gunfights with only competition and lowly Police Pistol Combat at that.
Quote from Massad Ayoob as he talked about Cirillo.....
Quote:

He noted hunters made good stakeout men, not because they were accustomed to shooting for blood so much as because they were accustomed to waiting patiently and keeping their focus as they looked for certain signs. Best of all, he said, were the hunters who were also competition shooters, because when the gunfire started, shooting under pressure was already second nature for them.

Jim Cirillo's first gunfight....again quoting Ayoob on Cirillo...

Jim told me at the beginning of the fight he was so scared his tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth; but when his .38 came up and he saw a sight picture, a strange calm seemed to descend upon him, as if something was telling him he was in his world, on his tuff, now. Automatic pilot took over as his finger rolled the trigger, the way it did in PPC matches, of which he had already won so many

Apparently Jim Cirillo didn't get the memo that competition was not sufficient Glenn.
