What kind of idiot lets a perp close to 20 feet before presenting his firearm. Nobody in real life.
The 21 foot rule is real, and yes the assailant will close the distance before a victim can unholster and present his weapon. In reality, if I see a man coming at me with a knife, i have my gun on target on trigger long brfore he gets 7 steps from me, and I am trying to create distance all the time.
Try the same drill with the victim on target on trigger, and Mr Knife gets shot every time.
The only use for the drill with holstered weapons is to emphasize not to let someone close to 7 steps with your firearm holstered. That is called “situational awareness” and it means you have the gun out at low ready as soon as you see a man with a knife approaching ou. If he keeps it up, then you go on target and shout for him to STOP.
People don’t get to determine their circumstances and your points aren’t even realistic.
Any thug walking on the street next to you can do what was presented and you not even realize it. By the time you do, your arteries are bleeding dry.
As far as situational awareness - does that mean you eyeball everybody and make them stay 20 feet away from you gun in hand all the time?
You obviously have never seen the drill.
“What kind of idiot lets a perp close to 20 feet before presenting his firearm. Nobody in real life.”
Go walk down a street in a city and count how many people pass within 20 feet of you. As you do it count how many MIGHT have had a gun or a knife on them. Go on, we will wait.
