Why do folks continue to spread self defense gun training nonsense? It's just going to get people killed.
Your attacker will never stand broadside at 25 yards and wait for you to shoot them like a paper target. NEVER.
The majority of self-defense altercations occur inside 7 feet. You won't get an opportunity extend your arms, push the gun forward, get your perfect thumb over grip, or see your sights. Point, or press and shoot, while fighting off the attack inside 7 feet is the proper training format. Will your handgun go out of battery if you have to press it to your attacker and shoot? You don't hear numb gunners talk about that but it highly likely to occur.
Amazing this still continues.

I feel like I got the bait and switch. The title in the email I received was "What if you shoot first?" I thought this was going to be about engaging/eliminating a threat by shooting first and possible legal/perception issues to be aware of, not practicing to shoot faster.

Hi,
Apparently someone has not been taking the proper training classes. My instructors incorporate CQC procedures often. We practice one-handed drawing and firing, shooting from retention, etc.
A lot of my classes will begin with a Bill Drill. We'll run it several times, increasing speed each drill, until accuracy falls apart. Students then get pointers about what to work on and improve.
Oh, and welcome to the forum. We look forward to further insights.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I think some clarity is needed here. I am trying to read this favorably and infer that your statement is about the author, not MROD, because to me you both seem to be saying the same thing differently. However, the wording of your first sentence could be interpreted as being directed at MROD, so could you clarify what the intent was?Hi,
