Diagram of a Gun Fight

In the article he says he doesn't teach instinctive shooting. I personally think this is a mistake on his part, especially at 25 feet or less, especially the "less" part.

I don't do short-barrel pistols because I cannot hit a chosen target when shooting with a 2" barrel. It's fine at 10' or less, but I'd like to know that aiming would help. With a 4" or better (and I prefer 5"), I can hit quickly and accurately at quite a distance, and I can even hit up close with instinctive shooting.

Equilibrium!

Thoroughly fine film, need to watch it again real soon.

A friend of mine actually survived, barely, a gun fight. He took an FMJ .357 round in the arm which severed his brachial artery. He put 3 rounds of .357 HP ammo into Mr Bad Guy at distances starting at about 12 feet and ending within arms reach.

The final round severed BG’s spine, ending the fight. BG finished his day by shooting himself in the head. It was all caught on video. Interestingly enough they were both armed with identical firearms, Smith and Wesson model 686.

The entire fight was over in less than 15 seconds.

I think at 5-7 yards, whoever gets their gun out of the holster first is going to win. You shouldn’t need to deliver well aimed fire at that distance. Your countless hours of semi-realistic firearms training should make it unnecessary. Speed and fluidity is what wins this fight. IMHO.

Rule 6.

Fire first.

Rule 7. Half the time it's light out, the other time it's dark. Practice for either.

A very cool film, but you don’t have enough rounds to rely on statistics - and it takes just one to kill you.
