On Sunday, a deranged murderer was stopped by Eli Dicken within 15 seconds.

Fortunately, Eli was carrying a concealed hand gun.

More lives would have been lost if it wasn’t for Eli’s heroics.

But I didn't know how great was his shoot until now!!!

Incredible accuracy. Providence. This is why we need the Second Amendment!

Optical device on the Dickens gun?
Or just plain vanilla factory sights?
Would like to see all details on his kit, including ammo used, etc.

I believe this was a 100 yard shot with a 9 mm.

The staged photo from Dickens POV, the tiny red dot in the center is the location of the perp.

Over on patriots.win the discussion degenerated quickly; hopefully not here. I still haven’t firmly ascertained the model. Most say 9mm Glock but which one? (Let’s just say the top GSSF people aren’t using their 43s to win Meister). Others suggest a Hellcat. Is it actually known to the public?

Turning it into a drill seems challenging since Eli was reportedly advancing, and most ranges frown on shooters moving into the target area :)

Target fixation, tunnel vision, and very young eyes.

Well done.

I remember hearing that at any given time even an experience firearm shooter can expect to lose 50% or more of their accuracy when the Adrenalin kicks in during an active shooter situation.

That makes these shots even more impressive. Dickens is one cool cat.

Not on my best day with my glasses on. Not at that distance with that piece. Maybe 30 years ago. Maybe. Great shot.

8 out of 10 starting at 40 yards and advancing.

As far as I know Eli was carrying a factory Glock 19- no frills.
The guy in the video is offering to hook Eli up with all kinds of goodies but needs to make contact with Eli.

Not only did he kill this shooter, but he probably dissuaded three or four other crazies from carrying out their deadly mayhem.

At that range, after the first hit or two, the perp probably was focused on looking much closer for who was returning fire. He probably never saw Eli closing on him.

On a side note, I haven’t seen anything mentioned about the size of the perp. From the pictures that have been released of Sapirman, he appeared to be a pretty skinny guy, maybe less than 140 pounds and of average height.

Considering how thin he was, he made for a pretty small body mass target. With all the other data, together with what the size of the target would have been, these shots are beyond miraculous . . .

If memory serves, the max range to qualify on a 9mm in the USAF is 25 yards and we had 5 shots at it. I know at best, I hit 4 and that was under controlled circumstances where I was not under a ton of stress and I shot expert that day.

8 of 10 under stress at 40 yards is unbelievable!

The topic came up at the range yesterday. Closest we could come to simulate the situation was a 2/3 steel IPSC torso at 50 yards, a bit more challenging but then the target wasn’t shooting back. Carry guns only. It was NOT easy for experienced shooters and only one of five of us got 8 hits out of 10 in the time allotted. This case was simply excellent shooting in a super-intense environment and I don’t think I’d have done as well as that young feller.
