Um...my new training theory

[Glock32]

Very good responses. I like that. Thanks guys.

Austin,

How does your instrucort teach you to handle a mltiple threat scenario? What is his/her philosophy on engagemnt (single shots for each one, double taps, head shots, etc.). And one more, what gun do you carry or practice with (1911 with 7 or 8 in the mag or a double stack 9).

Thanks and keep the discussion going.

F.A.S.T.

FIGHT(fight!)
ASSESS(do I need to fight anymore?)
SCAN(do I need to fight anyone else?)
TAC-LOAD(prepare to fight again)

I like that. Especially the tac-load part after.

Glock32, distance equals time and time is your friend get of the X. You deal with what is closest to you and so on. Fight until the fight is over, they start it you finish it. If you stop them with one round great, if it takes five so be it. I practice with a glock 19 a blade tech kydex holster.

Glock 19 works. Distance is your friend indeed.

Does it matter what level of threat they represent to you? Let's say different weapons, etc. or does the closest one get it first?

I need to check out their website. Where are they located?

If there is Intent, Ability, and Opportunity then the rest is up to you, this is why we train.

Too far for me. I thought they were here in Southern California.

What classes have you taken and how do they compare to other folks you may have received training from? Why not a more local choice?

My theory....

When I'm in contact with....suspects.... I focus on all of them and none of them as individuals... the one who is telegraphing might get special focus from my cover officer... When I am alone.. and things start getting weird... I tend to call for help or leave.... multiple threats ain't no joke....Leaving and chaulking things up in the accounts payable account is a vialble alternative...

One thing I have learned... I am too old to get killed if I can avoid it...and avoid it if I can...

Clint Smith says you have the rest of your life to solve the problem.. how long that life lasts depends upon how you have solved the problem....

I tend to try to focus on solving the problem without shooting.. but by also communicating that I am their problem...and that shooting is always an option...

Always shoot BACK First....

Worked for me so far...that is I have never had to shoot my firearm on duty... don't expect it to work next time though...or the time after that....or the time after that...etc...

I'm just a guy who wants to go home to the family...
