Main Topic: Fail Safe Training I wanted to talk about something to think about as you practice carrying. We practice how carry for a reason. We want to be able to build that muscle memory so that we can do the task of pulling our handgun from concealment quickly and effectively in a high stress situation. An action that our body and brain can process so easily that it can do it almost effortlessly. Like riding a bike. Remember how hard it was to balance and how you thought you would never learn? But, time and practice, and now you can now ride a bike without even thinking about it. What I catch people doing is being really good at the things that don’t matter at the range. For example, holstering your firearm. Being quick back into the holster never won a gunfight. I promise. I am guilty of this as well. If you’re in law enforcement, chances are you have trained to holster your weapon without looking at the holster or your firearm. Keeping your head up, being aware of your surroundings while holstering. We practiced this. Where does this come into play as a CCW permit holder? I’m not saying it’s not a skill to learn, because you never want to take your eyes off the bad guy until he is secured. But, is this skill taking over at the range? Is this the part of your training that you feel good about? If so, why is that? I can tell you now, if this is the skill you feel that your best at, you have a lot of work ahead of you.

KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!!!! Training Trick: This week, we want to induce some stress. This may not be something you can do at a local range, but if you are in the woods doing some shooting, give this a try. Remember that safety is our first priority when doing any of the training tricks that I recommend. Target - 8.5x11” piece of paper Depending on your comfort level and how well your EDC holster is, stand approximately 6 yards from your target. Face away from your target so that your back faces the threat. At the start, do 5 burpees, then turn around, draw from concealment and place 3 shots on the target. Have a friend tiem you and see how fast you can do this drill while still maintaining all 3 shots on target.
