So the 45 doesnt really have stopping power he walked off screen!

But seriously man that would hurt!!! And a reminder to be safe when training at full speed/live fire.

It was an (in and out) wound with a FMJ. If he was shooting a defense round Im sure the outcome would have been alot different.

one gun, one setup. If it's all the same all the time; makes muscle memory failure a lot harder. At least in a single range day. But NBC is the best rule

NEVER

COMPLACENT

BANG

Ya that was a joke


I have used the serpa's and thumb locks for Glocks. I prefer the serpa release, the safariland thumb lock rides better but is not as smooth or fast.

Good for him. Up front, analyzed the deal and presented it to any viewer. I myself have worked that situation- as in close in to the target, elbow up, close quarters defensive combat drawstroke. The trainer I worked with, Andy Stanford- who teaches that particular technique, specifically nailed the Blackhawk Serpa holster that guy was using for his AD, as unsafe. The poster violated the secret ninja technique. Finger- finger- finger.

Right. I was considering one of those thumb-lock type holsters for my 1911. I've never handled one, or had any of my 1911s in one of them, but having the holster-release and the thumb safety that close together doesn't sound like a very good combination. I think I'm going to reconsider. I realize the "finger-finger-finger" thing and completely agree; I'm more concerned about the holster lock and the thumb safety interfering with each other.

Good on the guy who posted this.
