Training at the Range (Holster draw)

We all love range days – it can be a stress reliever, a reward for a tough week, or even a social gathering amongst like-minded individuals.  Even in the midst of fun, there are a lot of serious undertones about the whole event.  Obviously, gun safety is at the top of the list.  But many of you have taken CCW classes or even tactical defense courses.  It is critically important that any time we are given the opportunity that we practice those tactics.   Practicing shooting from various drawing positions is a vital practice to run through.   Some ranges don’t allow their customers to draw from the holster, but it is something you can practice at home with a roped...

Are You Always Ready?

You are out with friends and a drunk comes to pick a fight with you.  You are armed.  After he insults your wife and gives you a harsh shove, you nod your goodbyes to your friends and leave.  The guy laughs at your face and your friends smirk in slight disgust for your lack of manliness.  Who won?   The answer should be instantaneous to you: You did.   Let us be clear, here.  There are a lot of winning scenarios, and this by no means should stand as the “best one”.  And certainly, should this drunk follow you into the parking lot, draw a weapon, or otherwise decide that the fight is not over, you have not won yet. ...

Weak Hand Transition

Weak Hand Transition What is it?         Lets face it. Most of us spend 99% of our time, when shooting, doing so with our dominate hand.          I once read that most injuries sustained in a gun fight occur to the hands. They are up and out in front of you in the firing position and end up covering a large portion of your torso and face.
