I’m often asked why we emphasize training our students to deliver two, sighted shots from the holster to the center of mass of their target within 1.5 seconds. <\/p>\n
Well, here is a video that shows you why.<\/p>\n
In a perfect world you would always have your loaded gun in your hand and have all the time you needed to identify the threat and deliver accurate fire.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, in the real world it never works out like that and tends to get exciting when you do not take a potential threat seriously or make the mistake of letting your opponent get too close to you.<\/p>\n
The video you are about to watch shows exactly what happens when you allow a potential threat to get too close. <\/p>\n
Had the officer taken a more aggressive approach to the initial car stop, secured the suspects, and then opened the trunk, he would have likely avoided the surprise attack.<\/p>\n
