Used to watch folks shoot at the range as much as I liked to shoot also. Something to be studied IMO. Folks that I knew whom had been either involved in shootings or were robbed or assulted at some point and the standard trained CHL/LEO sort have really different outlooks on what is the proper application of 230gr solution.

The LEO or CHL/CCW sort that has never been in pucker factor sh*t and go blind mode would do at best a fast failure drill of 2 to the A zone and 1 to the head , sweep left and right for additional threat and lower their muzzle to look and access their hits.

The victims and victors of violence past club would draw and walk to or approach the target while firing fast and accurate and continue till they run dry or (for the best of em) counting their rounds for a perfect speed reload on the move.

I'm still of the mindset that when one is assulted by a animal that considers you and yours prey. Get medevil on the SOB ...be it with a Club or a Colt get crazy assed ugly, loud and scary and remember that it is much better to have only one side to the story and the forensic evidence of facts and truth when all is said and done.

Taxpayers get a better deal from a CHL Citizen who stops the threat as it's encountered and can't be avoided......for ever and for free.

Stay Safe and remember the handgun is a temporary tool till ya can get to the 12 gauge !

In your opinion, Squantos, what's the best way one could practice this? Most ranges (including the two I go to) don't allow this sort of thing.

I carry, and have a Florida CCW. My piece is a Springfield "loaded" 1911A1, carry it in a Fobus paddle holster with a spare mag on the opposite side.

The tactic above sounds like the most promising, especially in the adrenaline-charged atmosphere of a real gunfight. Obviously, one should practice BOTH tactics to refine one's skills, but ranges nowadays seem to restrict all shooting except careful aimed fire. Both of mine even prohibit practicing the draw, as well as reapid-fire and "point" shooting. Any advice?

That's right, go animal! Actually, I look so nuts that very few punks ever make eye contact with me, and usually they cross the street to get clear of my path. I just seem to have that aura of "go ahead punk, make my day." Seriously, looking like a scrapper goes a long way towards avoiding scraps.
