The most common reason this happens is the shooter’s thumb is on the slide stop.
With all of the reduced power springs, it is conceivably possible that the slide is moving so fast that it is outrunning the follower, but first, eliminate the shooter being the problem.
Context matters. Does the instructor's background and training support their material, and is that material valid for the client?
Certifications are part of the above equation, but they are not definitive.
I took Sig's late last year. I'm curious as to how different pistol manufacturers approach the topic.
I had signed up for a Centrifuge class, but it didn't make.
I've done some dot work with Erick and have LOTs of discussions with him on the topic. It'll be good to put them all together in...
Thus the peril of pushing for split speeds faster than .35. Faster than that, and you are in a range where one is likely to shoot after the conditions change. This is one instance where we really need to separate technical skill and application.
Getting the number of shots wrong in an actual incident is incredibly common. High end “operator” types get it wrong.
Don’t answer that question. Don’t guess at an answer.
I took the GPSTC Semi-Auto 3 course, which is based on the Rogers Shooting School, two weeks ago. I'm taking Erick Gelhaus' PMO Instructor course in June followed by Glock's MOS Instructor Workshop in July. I may be taking a John Holschen class as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a few...
I've attended the lecture at least a half dozen times. It's worthwhile.
His cognitive stuff is very well done. This is not just a stand there and blast holes in paper class. He does some very good things with his targeting systems.
You'll get your money's worth.
He wrote a paper making the assertion. It is an assertion designed to sell optics and training. Sig showed a video of a horrific shooting and said that with optics, the officer could have made the shot. Optics were not the reason for the failure.
I thought it was really well done with a couple of minor exceptions. They pushed two things designed purely to sell optics. First, they sang along with the assertion that dots will reduce mistake of fact shootings. This assertion fails in two areas. A person will not be able to stop the act...
I can see a few hours of specific dot stuff such as best practices for mounting, etc, followed by a few techniques specific to the dot. Beyond that, it's mostly burning reps.
Erick's class is in Dallas is an instructor course with prereqs of having an LE instructor cert or Rangemaster Advanced Instructor.
That doesn't mean he wouldn't come to IN for a different PMO class if there is enough interest.
I'll be rolling out a PMO class in the fall.
I took Sig's Pistol Mounted Optic Instructor course in December. I crossed a bridge with PMOs from an end-user standpoint in this class. A lot of previous work just seemed to come together, and it clicked.
As a student, my 2023 schedule is proving difficult due to scheduling conflicts. On...
You've already admitted that you are mixing terms.
Under common law, one has not always been allowed to use deadly force. Not every state in the U.S. has a specific statute allowing for deadly force even now; however, many of the states have created such states allowing for the use of deadly...
Last year, the police chief in my hometown was charged with a crime pertaining to his use of force in relation to an arrest. His lawyer argued that he had immunity under a specific state statute allowing for the use of force to effect an arrest. The judge dismissed the case.
The news media...
No, you didn't. I specifically asked for you to include the court standards, and you didn't address that.
Qualified immunity does not apply in a criminal case. Qualified immunity is very specific. Please don't mix terms.
