VIRTUAL PISTOL TRAINING

A super-duper flashy little recap of our trip over to Switzerland 🇨🇭 to teach the 🔫 Performance Concepts course with @norstar_ch to a couple groups of high-level LE/MIL that were IMPRESSIVE performers already.

Other countries should take note of how these guys/gals approach training in a determined and cerebral manner. For instagram, this is of course Olympic sport training.

We hope to be back in 2025 to continue the journey!

Thanks for all of your dedication to progress and trusting us to be a guide in developing the 🔫 skillset 🤙🙏

We`re excited to bring this course home on Sep 23/24 at @urbantactical_ . Please message us for more details if you`re interested!

Please join me in a dangerous discussion of muzzle orientation and winning the death race.

Our simple mitigation strategies to avoid being dead:
- avoid the g∆nfight
- create distance
- minimize exposure with cover or concealment
- aim your gun if it is out

This isn`t a perfect test and we`ve still got a Part IV to answer a few more questions, but we`re finding some consistent results across the board. Three different sh00ters and similar depressing results. We`re very k1llable.

We can do everything right and an inexperienced sh00ter can still put a b∆llet right between our eyes 10% of the time (based on this limited super scientific testing).

As we`ve seen with recent videos, some guys are adjusting the priority of life and moving risk from themselves onto others. Some are negating the f1re@rms safety guidelines.

What else can you do?

Hear me out... And voice out if I`ve got this wrong.

With this training system gaining popularity, and people spending a significant portion of their dryfire on it as opposed to their real gun... It`s time to spill a few of the beans with a reminder to not believe everything you see.

This system is what you make of it. It can be a solid training aid, or it can be an addicting game that acts as a good reminder to get some dryfire in on your actual gun. If you`re using it as a game, then a game it will be, and in that manner, don`t expect it to provide alot of value outside of entertainment.

It can also be both, but we don`t want to mislead the guys trying to build their foundation as good shooters by blurring the line. If experienced guys market it as the most realistic training simulator, but quietly use it as a game to get their name to the top, then we aren`t being responsible with our message.

Very few can run 0.09 splits in reality, nor run @timherronshooting `s bill drill sub 1 in the credit card. But if we play the game, we can do both. This is something that we would rarely deceive ourselves with in real dryfire because it has the serious detriment of degrading the long fought connection built between honest dryfire and the confidence to replicate it in livefire.

Many people starting out in this sport or armed profession are purchasing training aids to save on ammo and create a good foundation of skill. This one can be a ton of fun as a game and also a serious trainer, but as responsible, experienced shooters we have to help the new guys out and let them know when we are blurring those lines. They are looking up to guys like us for recommendations of how to improve and integrity in training is one of those things.

I`m sorry to break the magicians code 😔🤷

The history:

About 7 years ago I was prepping to take a shot on a hostage taker in a training scenario when the instructors called a stop. A hostage rescue shot wasn`t the solution they wanted in this scenario. I was asked if I knew the ramifications of this decision and was confident in my shot placement. I explained what I thought at the time and said I would have confidently made the shot. They didn`t like that.

So, I took my lumps and felt like a moron all week. On the weekend, I decided I would determine for myself if the decision to take the shot was the right one. I drafted up a significantly harder target than what was presented and planned to draw and take the shot under a similar time pressure. If I could do it 10 times in a row then I would be vindicated.

Well, I shot it 7 times clean and on the 8th run I sent a round right into the hostage....guess they were right.

To conclude - my confidence was shattered and my training changed for the better. The intent or confidence in the shot doesn`t matter, only the results do.

This drill has undergone a few small changes over the years and I eventually added a run up with inspiration from Seattle SWAT`s performance.

I`ve found a ton of value in this drill and I hope you guys do too.

You can print the targets on the website in my bio 🫡

Let me know what you think!

"Hmm?!"

Surprise! Can`t believe it worked 😅

An apology: It`s been a busy stretch where we haven`t been able to get any filming completed at the range for more meaningful content than this. There`s learning points in this video if you peer deep enough into the hasty ambush and failure of the small team of special operators to prevent and counter it. Honor them by learning from their deaths, so that we may live.

No children were harmed in the making of this video. The bangs are safe. The audio was boosted. The first bang is from @airsoftinnovations and can`t be purchased anymore unfortunately.

To help with some of the questions:

The trainer bang is from @airsoftinnovations which is unfortunately out of business. The red gun is a "Spectrum" from @adventureforcebrand. I`m displaying stormtrooper-like accuracy here, but it really is the best $30 you`ll ever spend at Walmart. The tripwire is simply a generic perimeter alarm from Amazon that operators on a shotgun primer 👍

Thanks for the love ❤️
