In a BG just feet away confrontation, the decisions to draw, aim and fire have to happen very quickly.
My concern is in regards to training and "firing until the threat is stopped" without firing too quickly. I've read too many LEO shooting reports of multiple rounds fired, and only a few hits.
I would like to achieve a "balance" of shooting fast enough to end a life threatening incident, and not sending bullets astray.
Hence, the slang term of a double tap. A retired BSO Detective, said that 2 to the chest and 1 to the head, in case of a BG in body armor,on meth, big dude, etc,.. aka Mozambique Drill, is one drill to consider.
Just trying to get the "mind" right in regards to tempo and shot control in a Life or Death confrontation. It seems a daunting task.
The spray & pray with a high capacity magazine is something I would like to avoid. Shooting 8 to 10 rounds, but only getting 2 hits seems like somethings amiss,.. two or three rounds with a concentrated effort on those shots, "should" stop a threat. I know there are variables out the wazoo, but combat accuracy in a 2 to 5 shot string is what I'm trying to get without going too fast, let alone having to move and shoot as well.
Sounds like I need Rob to swing down to S. Fl. this winter where we can get out the SPF 15 and get a class together. Maybe???
Thanks for all the input.
