Somewhere I read a study on all the NYPD shootings going back 100+ years.

Faded memory Recalls bits and pieces... most incidents involving police deaths were essentially ambushes, in the dark, in terrible lighting conditions. I imagine many were in pursuit of the BG

Survival rates logically increased with distance, movement, and finding cover.

I recall the average fight being 6 feet and 3 shots in total.

It changed my way of thinking from Glocks and high capacity to a snubbie in a pocket.

I think common sense, coupled with awareness, not allowing other within a certain "personal zone" helps to eliminate a lot of factors resulting in possible confrontations... if all else fails there is Plan B which is 158 grains exiting right front coat pocket.

It's not overconfidence, but I'm comfortable with the belief that I already have the drop on the BG. Better than drawing in a no win situation or begging for mercy.
