Do you shoot IDPA
How do you practice with your Pistol? Have you heard of IDPA Style shooting courses?
Look it up, take a ride to where the have the shoots & the next time you are working at your PC & a home invasion happens you win!
Once upon a time in NY City + a few more Cities. Police died with one hand full of emptys & an empty gun in the other hand in a gun fight. Why? Easy to look back and say their training killed them. But how did their training do it?
Easy they all trained at Police ranges where they were required to eject their emptys into their hand & place them in the Brass can. Only no one knew this would travel into the mean streets with them & get them killed.
Many People use an Automatic today & those who use the Revolver have Speed loaders with belt carriers for 6 in the gun & 2 reloads. However you can bet that if you are shooting at a range or plinking at cans only you are creating bad habits.
In a Gun fight you are fighting, just as you would with any weapon. So like the boot knife, you cover your arm with a jacket to protect you from getting cut up. When it comes to lead flying at you @ 1000 feet per second you want to use cover as much as you can.
If you hurt & killed people as a job (Scum Bags) it would be easy to get better @ staying alive. Shooting at papper targets & saying you will know what to do when evil comes out of the shadows, is only fooling yourself.
I felt like it was in slow motion, no kidding your brain is going into shock. It happens when we are surprised half to death, but it does not have to. Muscle memory, Default to your training this is the tried & true method, of training you body to react to Fight or Flight reflex.
Go ahead and practice, clearing your home with it all dark & using a flashlight or NV equipment. Funny how you get to feeling cool & sweaty when you come home from shopping, & you know no one is in there. Or just maybe this time, your not alone & let's hope you find it, before it finds you!
Sweet Dreams.
