Nice....

Unless one has experienced how quickly these deals play out they simply have no idea what it is like and of course the best way to experience it is through realistic training.

The trainer was right on about the need to go hands on and again unless one has trained in some kind of short range violent combative (not strip mall tae kwon do)they will be lost from the jump.

A good gunslinger school teaching this real world stuff is the Suarez International "0 to 5' gunfighting" class.

One thing that is initially startleing is how harsh the muzzle blast is coming of a target into your face when fired danger close like this. Try it believe it!

Those that shoot at the range enough to get "comfortable" with their sidearm will have no chance at all in this kind of encounter.

Good post, Rob and good work Jeff. Always remember it is "speed and violence of action" that gets to walk away.

Now get a couple of good quality airsoft guns and tear it up in the back yard.

It should go without saying that a pistol carried in the front pocket would put you at a disadvantage here.
