all you g.i. joes realize that accuracy is not going to be in your vocabularly in any instance where CCW will come in handy right? the most you or most police officers will ever be able to hope for is putting rounds in the black. and for those of you who are military or ex military, it doesnt float the same way as it did in the service, atleast then you know when you are and you are not in combat. concealed weapons come in handy in split second life and death situations. you draw that sumbich, pull the trigger, and win or lose before you can blink and your heart can beat 3 times..

edit: not to say you shouldnt practice, by all means do, pulling the trigger should be reactionary once you decide to do it. but practicing double taps and headshots wont be very effective for those of you looking to cary concealed. take your holster to the range, draw, fire once, twice, 3 times at about 10 yards or less. holster and do it again

you guys might want to read up on a technique called quick kill as well.. its an old highspeed military point n click technique that works pretty damn well.



I don't recall any of us "gi joes" saying they don't take their holsters to the range and practice drawing and quick firing...in fact I don't recall anyone saying any specifics of practicing. You practice for what you will use it for...duh. If your main purpose is for self defense and CC then you practice as such...I thought that was common sense and didn't need to be said. Regardless...practice makes you more efficient EVEN in combat or self defense situations.

And yes I know all about the quick kill point/fire technique...it's nothing new. Was more or less developed by Israelis and has been taught to LAPD for many years and probably a lot more law depts as well now and there were tons of articles in Guns N Ammo and other gun mags about the guy who taught it and how he taught it.
