5 rules of a gun fight:

1) gun beats no gun
2) fast beats slow
3) hit beats a miss
4) bigger holes beat small holes
5) more holes beat one hole

Fire first.

Not necessarily. Well-aimed fire is better than unaimed fire.

Hit first is the key.

No effing kidding !!!
In a firefight at a distance of about 15 feet, I am only alive today, because I was able to get a round chambered and fired faster than my VC opponent who had that “Oh, Crap” look on his face when he realized I was in position to shoot first and he was still changing magazines.

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.

It can be learned and you can become proficient at it.

If I don’t have a round chambered my gun is disassembled for cleaning.

With you brother. Mine was going to get him a gringo that day no matter what. Two rounds of 5.56 didn't even slow him down. Two from my 1911 changed his mind and trajectory.

At less than 25 feet, I can pretty much guarantee my shooting will be instinktive!

Per Wild Bill Hickok:

“Speed is good, accuracy is final.”

He was well known as a slower draw but extremely accurate.

Wow! Now THAT was a poorly written collection of disjointed thoughts and old platitudes! I would not have made it all the way through if I didn’t like reading about guns in general. Where’s the diagram?!? What is this?

It's a shallow attempt to pimp a blog.
