High Exposure

Watching the video, it sounds like one of the kids threatened to shoot the cop. In any event, shit show decision process/problem solving aside, lots of learning to be had in this video. By his holster setup, he is right handed. Unfortunately he decided to grab the kid with his right hand forcing him to have to draw with his left hand. You can see how unpracticed he is. Takes him a few tries to get his cover garment off the gun, then he has that funky cavalry draw. That shot was no warning shot. That was a perfect example of parasympathetic reflex: What his right hand does - grips as he holds on to the kid and drags him over the bush, the left hand wants to do - grips the gun hard, unfortunately with his finger on the trigger. This is what I was talking about in a few other threads here. He probably trains strong side a lot, weak side hardly at all - if ever. Training isn't just shooting, it's also not shooting, and doing things like keeping your finger off the trigger. There are times for hands on, there are times for guns out. Those two should really never be simultaneous. If he felt in enough danger to draw, he should have let the kid go. Why would you want a deadly threat in arms distance to you? With divided attention and at least one gun definitely in play - yours - it's recipe for disaster.

No. You gotta brIng your own ammo.

Congrats PP (I still want to refer to you as alowslowmiata) Represent NJ well. Get the NRA to pay more attention to us.

S&T is an excellent value. Big fan of Joe and his classes. $200 for half a day At GfH is rediculous. I had a PM convo here with the owner for GfH a while ago. Did not inspire confidence, and neither does his bio. He came across as being only in it for the money. I have taken classes from some of the premier gunfighters out there. $600 for a three day class was average (each day was 10-12 hours) from tier one dudes and serious comp shooters with a LE or .mil background

How does Matt Damon fit into a Walking Dead thread....

The SCAR was a big disappointment. Lots of potential and it fell on its face.

Remington's response is linked directly in the article I posted.

Good info. Thanks tuktuk.

Too many Mad Max movies....

Few thousand dry fires will smooth it out considerably. With Glocks, the lighter the connector, the spongier the trigger, and vice-versa, the heavier the crisper. Vlad, check out this article written by a BTDT dude in a very special military unit. I posted it a few years ago but, it is still 100% applicable. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/57841-glock-triggers-how-they-work-and-how-to-make-them-better/?fromsearch=1

There's a drill for that! Check out some of the Ernest Langdon trigger reset drills. Shoot those at about 5-7 yards with different trigger finger placement until you get it dialed in. Than back up and try it again. Repeat until you are happy.

Same same! I would love to run a little clinic. Awesome! Eagerly awaiting the details. Extremely common for a right handed shooter to hit left with a Glock.

Edit: Disregard - I am a dope: Reading is Fundamental. You said Chest Rig not PC.

Good question. We need a NJGF range day. Who has access to a range and can set something up?

Pew pew! Double Tap

Remember - take that video in context. Eventually aiming will be very important. When dry firing it's hard to tell how still you are keeping the gun, or how much your sights are moving without a coach or training partner to tell you how bad your muzzle is moving. I have found this drill to be very useful when dry firing without a coach. In the drill you are not aiming per-se. You are using a specific point on the wall to measure how much your sight moves. It's backwards to aiming - you are using it as a reference point rather than an aiming point. I use a variation of this drill as the first and last drill during a live fire practice session. Target Prep: Draw 3 dime size dots, evenly spaced horizontally at eye level, on your target with a Sharpie marker. Target pasties work fine as well. • Target at 0 yard line • Clear the pistol and do 10-15 dry fires* with the muzzle 1/4" from the target on a clean dot • Move target to 1ish yard line • Load up and fire 5 rounds for best group** • Clear the pistol and do 10-15 more dry fires* at the 0 yard line with the muzzle 1/4" from a clean dot • Move target to the 3ish yard line • Load up and fire 5 rounds for best group** • Clear the pistol and do 10-15 more dry fires* at the 0 yard line with the muzzle 1/4" from a clean dot • Move target to the 5ish yard line • Load up and fire 5 rounds for best group** * If at any time the front sight moves off the dot during the trigger press - stop, come off target, take a breath, and start your dry firing over ** Each 5 round live fire section should be fired on a separate clean dot - each dot is about the size of a dime. As long as your close to the dot (within 1/2" or so) it is more important to get all rounds touching, if not in the same hole, than hitting the actual dot. If you are more than ~1/2" off, you need to figure out why and address it.

I've used them before, and they work. But they still require a serious safety check, and a weapon disassembly - which for Glocks requires a trigger press, which is a great opportunity for Murphy to come visit - prior to use. Having that inert plastic gun just makes it easy to grab it and do 20 reps. And we all know, the more convenient it is, the more likely we are to do it.

My old work gun had one. Shot great.

That's exactly what the guy that taught me to shoot says.

You don't have to outrun the GRIZzly bear, you only have to run faster than your slowest friend.
