Your full size .357 Sig auto pulled out of your retention holster under your photographer’s vest to chest level and thrust out at your multiple opponents lined up at 21ft. Wow. What I have practiced for over fifty years and will continue to do is carefully observe the people around me when I’m anywhere there are other people. Be very aware of your surroundings and learn to read body language. If you really feel threatened and can’t get out of the situation the place for your gun is in your hand. I’d like to see you make your practiced quick draw and aim for your two to CM and one for the head if someone gets close enough pin you against your vehicle with the door and sticks a cheap .25 auto to the back of your neck. LEO and civilian SD are two very different realities in the real world. I’ve been in a few situations where I really thought I was going to have to shoot someone after all these years but was very relieved when I was able to avoid doing so. SD for civilians is way more about thinking than stupid thousands of dry firings or shooting at steel targets.
