If I was your Instructor
YOu get in my AO... your hired.

mucho gracias

I can shoot groups like those displayed. Probably can't quite consistently do it weak handed though.

That reminds me of another drill/exercise that I don''t currently do, but probably should. Of course, my occupation tends to develop it as a byproduct.

GRIP strengthing exercises

any others?

Dry fire:

With an unloaded weapon

1. Pratice your draw stroke for your concealed holster coming up on target and depressing the trigger as soon as you get a front site flash.

i.e. As soon as your front site covers the target you should be firing....no hesitation. Front site, Bang.

The goal is development of speed from the leather. Remember all of your fundementals and don't let them slack, but concentrate on your SPEED. It works best if you have a 3rd party or device to say "Go"

2. With an unloaded weapon, an unloaded magazine inserted into the weapon, and a magazine with dummy rounds in your CC extra mag pouch.

From your CC holster come up on target just like the above dry fire drill, depress the trigger, when you hear a "click" tap, rack. Your slide will lock (or should lock) to the rear. Speed reload a fresh mag with dummy rounds, rack the slide again and fire one more round.

The goal is to be quick and smooth from "Go" until your second round is fired. If you start fumbling or your fundmentals start slacking SLOW down.

SLOW is SMOOTH and SMOOTH is FAST!

Guy,

Please forgive my ignorance but what is it?

I use an oven timer.
Its cheap but it does the job until I can afford an IPSC timer.

A PACT Club Timer II. $130.

Some of us (like Guy) are actually fast enough to need one.

See TS...Why did you have to rub my nose in it? You know where I live at.

RL needs to get into political office and amend some of these CCW laws.

Highest murder rate in the country.

Police response time of 45 minutes to an hour. (They say 10 minutes for a "verified" crime.)

Serious crime rates continue to climb each year and every year.

It takes an entire police force 45 minutes to take down 2 armed bank robbers.

What a wonderful place to live.

You can keep kalif.

Red face

and this...

Used in movies and television shows worldwide, this is the most realistic, accurate shooting, simulated handgun I have ever seen!

It shoots a .25 caliber steel, plastic or rubber projectile up to 400 feet per second! The gun is accurate in size and weight of the real Glock…. fits perfectly in your holster. Use it for training, use it for self-defense, it shoots accurately out to 50 feet and delivers a sting that will stop aggressors in their tracks.

I have personally shot these guns and I will testify they are extremely realistic, very accurate and a lot of fun! It does everything the regular gun will do without the lethal liability and without having to go to the range. You can shoot this in your back yard, even in your basement.

Just like a real gun! These are not toys! You must be 18 to purchase!

Improvise.

Adapt.

Overcome.
