I'm sorry, but I'm still a little hazy on why you teach students to move forward or backward and stay in the line of fire?????????

At the 0:56 mark, the guy in the dark blue shirt sweeps the man to his right with an obviously loaded handgun.
I'm surprised that this wasn't edited from the video, or used as a "teachable moment" to reinforce some safety rules that were no doubt covered prior to commencement of the drill. Other than this one incident, the drills and training look very similar those taught at a number of schools. Last edited by dawg23; July 12, 2011 at 02:19 PM. |

Ahhh
Looks like a lot of fun. However I wonder why they train to shoot dry, and why they chase targets/bad guys. Looks like a lot of fun. Hut... Hut... Hut... Glenn D. |

The in the past year I have had training from Rob Pincus, Gabe Suarez and Clint Smith. Running the gun dry is being taught and discussed as a real world fact by all three, and tac loading was discouraged. Suarez in particular like the hi-cap guns for this reason (e.g.; to reduce the need to load). I asked Clint about tac-loading to top off, and he said that if he has to shoot for serious, he's planning on emptying the gun, and whether or not that happens depends solely upon the behavior of the threat. He added that the one or two rounds you have left instantly available in the gun have much more immediate value to you in your immediate future than the potential held in a full magazine. We were encouraged to run dry, to the point of deliberately short-loading magazines in order to generate more practice at speed loading. Never having been in a gunfight I'm going to listen to the people who have been there. Especially since I paid them good money to teach me how to stay alive. Quote:
So I think there are cases for staying on line. There were certainly a number of examples of the students in this video moving off line to indicate that the concept was being addressed by the instructors. Stay flexible. Quote:
What I did note was the voluptuous expenditure of ammunition. The high-cap magazine is here to stay, I guess. I can visualize having difficulty legally justifying that much shooting in a defensive situation, but shooting a lot does make folks feel good. (Clintism: "Every bullet you fire has a lawyer attached to it"). Finally, I really liked the low-tech movers. I'm gonna steal that idea PDQ.

Just depends on where your training comes from. |

The Hallway thing?
Someone who has never been in an older apartment teniment bulding may not understand the dynamics. These halways have been referred to as vertical coffins by some cops. If caught in one of these narrow halways... 90% of the time the only way out is to back up. Glenn D. |

But moving only forward or backward is definitely NOT an answer. Try it your way (or the video way) FOF and see how you get lit up. Then try thinking outside the box a bit. Or perhaps train with some outside-the-box instructors instead of the same old stuff everyone is teaching. |
