I do a lot of reading about guns and self defense. I read a great piece of writing by Melody Lauer, for Lucky Gunner., which is the inspiration for my material on this episode.

Your draw from the holster is one of the most important skills to know to deploy your handgun for self defense. So is performing a reload. In this episode I get taught a new way of performing a reload. We also break down the 5 step reload into on of the best explanations I’ve ever heard in the audio version. I cover a little listener feedback in segment one. But have you ever stopped to concentrate on your draw stroke? Do yo practice it? Thousands of repetitions? When you reload do you look your magazine into the magwell or keep focused on the threat? What do you do with your gun to regain sight picture after a reload. The porpoise technique? Does your draw look like a bowling ball motion? Tune in, I think you’ll find this show educational no matter what your skill level. This show pertains to you while shooting competition OR self defense.

Analyzing practical shooting down to every detail is what Steven Zopfi and I attempt to do here. He’s been a longtime shooter (18 years) and is an IPSC Master Class shooter. He also has listened to this show for quite some time and has some real good insights on how to shoot effectively. You will really enjoy this interview and especially if you are involved in the shooting sports like IDPA, USPSA.

Highlights:

  • Seeing what you need to see.
  • Shooting with both eyes open?
  • The one year Glock 19 experiment.
  • Transitioning from Glocks to 1911’s and back and forth.
  • Trigger control
  • Transitioning.
  • Brian Enos’ Forum.
  • A story about when Steve shot against Rob Leatham.
  • Tangfolio’s new production division pistol.
  • Trigger jobs.
  • The subconscious level of practical shooting.
  • How competition shooting applies to self defense.
  • Dry fire practicing.
  • Working a flashlight while shooting.
  • Syringe method.

Tune in again later this week, I will recap my experience at Suarez International’s Close Range Gunfighing Class. Remember the Freedom Raffle, time is running out! Join the Gun Rights Radio Forum and check out my newest YouTube Video.

Tactical reloads and ammo selection.  A listener recently sent me an email alerting me to the fact that many experts point out that tactical reloads can take too much time, require too many fine motor skills and could actually get you killed.  After reading the articles sent to me by Michael Bane and Ralph Mroz, PoliceOne Columnist I agree.  So I’ve put together this podcast as a continuation of Episode 32.  I also throw in some of my thoughts about selecting ammunition.

Highlights:

  • Game vs. reality debate.
  • Is the tactical reload a game technique or could it be used in a real gunfight?
  • Why I like the “speed reloads” instead.
  • What is reload with retention?
  • Are civilian gunfights decided by round count?
  • Can the tactical reload cause more malfunctions?
  • IDPA, game or reality?
  • Ammo selection, bullet design, ballistics.
  • FMJ ammo and over-penetration, is it overstated?
