There is a close quarter shooting technique that is taught with a pistol among Law Enforcement and popular Gun/Tactics school nationwide. In this article a couple of different experts demonstrates their method conveying the difference in training on the range versus training with a live person that reacts in a lively manner. In other words, someone that resists when you're trying to go for your pistol.
The main objective is to draw your pistol, but in real life at that close range you have to deal with the aggressor thats bent on hurting you. Here are a couple of views from Rob Pincus of Personal Defense Network and Don Gulla of Arrestling Organization. Each have a different methods of training, so you pick which is more effective. Go to close quarter shooting here.

IMHO, training should tightly revolve around that concept. As such, when I train, I train to shoot and move. When I move, I am moving in such a way so as to increase the distance between me and my enemy/target and to complicate his ability to effectively maneuver against me. I am either moving backwards or off to the flank. Ideally, I am moving closer to cover and farther from the enemy in a very rapid manner and I am drawing and shooting while I do this.
If someone gets on top of you with a knife before you have drawn your weapon, you're getting stabbed.
In a perfect world.
hmmm
Good message! Thanks.
If they get on top of you, you’re going to get hurt.
Double spinning crescent kick to the head and put rounds in the head—same time!
;-)
Stomp on instep, finger treatment to eyes and throat, fire all rounds into hips—same time!
;-)
Tell that to Trayvon. He got on top and he got hurt.
he didn’t have a knife.
‘The point of having a gun is to avoid physical contact with your enemy. ‘
LOL. There is a little difference between golf and a real life. You can’t carry a tool for every situation all the time, and your possible opponent isn’t static as well, so it is not up to you only on would you avoid physical contact or not.
Handgun is still one of the most effective tools to hurt someone, regardless the fact are you in physical contact or not.
I think there is one major rule of close quarters shooting: muzzle awareness. You should be careful to keep your body parts out of the way between your handgun and a bad guy no matter what.
It is very hard to act out in training what well happen in real life.
If one trains to hard real people get really hurt.
I have been hit by SIM ammo. It hurts. The whole FPD series is to train techniques based upon experience. It does that very well and it is FREE!
Your not the only one that has taken Sims rounds.
The more realistic the training becomes the higher the chance of injuries become.
Breaking bones, hurting your students, causing work comp claims because of training his highly frowned abound.
Being sue for causing injury isn’t good either.
You aren't static either and, generally, you do have a say in the dynamics of the confrontation. It's called making your opponent fight your fight and not fighting his fight.
I'm not saying that training for the worst case scenario isn't advisable. I'm just saying that one should consider training to avoid the worst case scenario as being more valuable. We fight as we train and we train as we fight. We should consider that as we train to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
I don't want to engage someone in hand-to-hand combat. I'm too old for that Shiite.
