Handgun Drills
I thought this was interesting in a couple different way.
Handgun Drills: The Things To Practice – Part 1
By: Grant Cunningham |
Effective handgun shooting drills are task-oriented; they’re designed to provide practice opportunities for the tasks most likely required in an actual defensive shooting. What, then, are the things we need to practice?

I AGREE, BUT.....
I agree, but only after you have taken a training course from a professional firearms instructor. Preferably an instructor that is certified as either L.E. or Military. The course should be a minimum skill level of intermediate combat handgun. I don't care how long you have been shooting, the real world is a lot different than the square range where you are shooting static paper targets. This is serious stuff folks!
train the way you will have fight!
DONALD TRUMP HAS NEWS FOR ALL CONCEALED CARRY HOLDERS…
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is serious about the right to bear arms.
Our country is at a time of potential threat from ISIS terrorists and with an influx of Syrian refugees, many are on high alert.
Trump issued a statement to Breitbartcalling for all concealed carry permit holders to actually carry.
He said:
“There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to “keep and bear arms.”
This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons.
The concept of concealed carry is as much intended to deter criminal activity as it is to provide direct defense of those who have those permits.
Not all concealed carry permit holders “carry” all the time.
Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists.
Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate.
However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome.
Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry.
I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same.
Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is “yes,” but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America.
Deterring violence is far better than dealing with the aftermath of an act of terror.
Less blood, more security. That is what will make America great again.”
Do YOU agree with Trump?

Master the Basic = Advanced Skills
FIRE AWAY!
Took advantage of the gorgeous weather yesterday and hit the range with a good friend and shooting buddy, Don Hudson. Our plan, and when you go to the range you should have plan on what you want to work on, was to fine tune our basic skills. After all ammunition is still somewhat expensive even though it has come down in price a little. Don't remember where I heard it, but it makes sense "Don't just Plink, Think"! So our objective was to practice the basics utilizing multiple repetitions on each. We did this within certain time restrictions cold bore. The reason for this is because if you are ever involved in a situation that you might have to use the gun you are not going to have the time to warm up first!
We started out with the very basic skill of shooting one shot from the two handed high ready pistol position, Time was one second or less. Target a 6" x 12" steel plate @ 21 feet. ONLY HITS COUNT! That size target very well represents the size of the area that you would need to hit consistently in order to accomplish the goal of getting that person who's intent to hurt or kill you, change his or her mind about doing that. Remember, the target area should be high center mass on the chest area. Important, your only purpose of shooting is to STOP the threat! Placing shots in that area gives you the best advantage of doing that in the quickest and must humane possible way. Once the threat stops so does the shooting! It is important to note that you generally shoot as many shots as necessary to accomplish that. A single handgun round generally does not have the ability to immediately incapacitate a person. Based on that you need to be prepared to fire what ever the number of shots are required to get that desired effect. Stopping that person action, NOW! That is very dependent on the threat. Each and every threat is different. Please note, in addition, aiming at the chest area is the largest area of the body that you may have available,but not always. Hitting this area consistently will assure good solid hits rather than misses and the risk of hitting innocents.
Statistics have proven that the person who get the first hit on something substantial is generally the person that prevails in the conflict.
Some of the other drills that we practiced were as follow;
7 yards, 6" x 12" plate
2 shots from the high ready pistol Position, 1.25 seconds or less.
1 shot from the holster, from a shooter be alert position, 2.0 seconds or less, preferably 1.5 seconds or less.
2 shots from the holster, from a shooter be alert position, 2.0 seconds or less,
T.R.A.F. drill, (tap, rack, assess, fire if necessary) Or T.R.B. ( Tap, Rack , Bang) 2.5 seconds
Reloading from slide lock. 3.5 seconds. Starting out from the two handed high ready pistol position.
10 yards, 10" steel plate
Diamond drill, start out shooting 1 shot from each of the four points of a diamond.
Then shoot 2 shots from the same points. No par time, just had to make the hits.
Strong hand and support hand only! 1 shot and then 2 shots
15 yards, shoot the 15 in 15 Drill, 12" x 18" steel plate
25 yards, 25 and in drill, 12" x 18" steel plate
Finished with the 5, 10, 15, & 20 drill, 12" x 18" steel plate
Trigger control, front sight focus and recoil management were the priorities!
All in all about 200 rounds
