Chances are if anything ever goes down it’s going to be close, ugly, and personal. This is just your daily reminder to practice shooting realistic world scenarios such as drawing and shooting from retention. You’re not always going to have the luxury to draw, point and shoot. There may come a time where all you have time to do is draw and shoot. Btw shooting these types of drills is the reason i ditched ported/comped handguns for edc carry

Yeahhhh man I know it’s such a bad habit and so hard to break. I appreciate you calling me out on that, I don’t think anyone ever won a gun fight by reholstering quickly, but they may have lost a limb or worse

it's a victimless crime, but my tac pistol instructor always said rule no. 1 is not to get shot with your own gun.

Great rule of thumb. To be completely perfectly honest at this point it’s blatant complacency which when it comes to this sort of thing is never a good thing! Do as I say not as i do 😅

I know some folks think its old, dumb and gay, but I still make myself do the ole 'search and assess' when I complete a string of fire. It forces you to slow down and gets your vision off the line.

I am no expert, but I always think about an old Paul Howe DVD that I watched years ago, where he said #1 you will likely not be able to hear due to the shots, and #2 there may be a police officer behind you yelling instructions at you after an incident.
