Fast Draw

[josywales]

The two fastest draws in Hollywood were Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr, in that order, and I don't recall either of them ever killing anyone. It must be more about accuracy...

I'm so fast I can get off two rounds before I even get it out of the holster. Sure is painful.

I'd better get my hip boots out; it's getting pretty deep!

Better to learn to disarm your opponent and beat him senseless with his own pistol. That's always been my plan . . .

Better to learn situational alertness to not get in the situation where someone is holding you at gun point !!

I could have quoted a few people here, but I now know clearly why Jesse James was shot in the back.

Slow as molasses since my hand surgery. But I'm relearning and getting better

Because his back was to Ford?

Not at all important.

Whether it's 'fast draw,' 'quick draw,' or whatever else one wants to call it, I cannot fathom a LESS important component of the proper skill set for an armed citizen.

Be safe.

In one of our defensive classes students are required with perfect safety from concealment, draw and have a COM hit in less than 1.5 sec. at 7 yards.

I'm glad someone said that was average. We sometimes forget that getting firearms into action is never a very long procedure as long as the firearm is reasonably accessible. I can pull a handgun out of the console of my vehicle and get it into action in around 2 seconds, maybe 3 if I'm actually driving whilst performing this unnatural driving act. Been there, done that, did NOT have to let anyone know because I was able to drive off. If you have a console weapon try it sometime when you're parked (do not try it while moving; that's for emergencies only!).

First I never said i could unequivocally out draw a already drawn firearm, I said I wasn't just going to stand there and not fight.

This is essentially something I think we all agree upon, subject solely to the concept that if you're close enough to know that not only can you not beat that first, perpetrator fired round, it IS going to hit you, then by all means either move or smack the perp's weapon or something. Don't be foolish enough to think you can get your gun out faster than you can hit his gun - and THEN get your gun out.

Brain, use your brain.

Whatever happened to the concept of being so aware of one's surroundings that one was elsewhere when the violence erupts?

OK, no one's perfect, but I'm still reminded of a nationally known instructor being asked why no one ever saw him practice a draw. He replied: "That's because I'm not stupid enough to serve felony warrants with a gun in the holster".

I don't believe in "Fast Draw", if things start to look Hinky, I prefer my

gun in my hand.

Back in the old days when I was in Police Work, the FBI did a study

of officers wounded and killed in gun fights. They couldn't believe the

number of officer who were shot with their handgun still in the Holster.

Me, I'm a member of the "When in Doubt, Whip it out Club."

A gun in the hand is worth two in the Holster.

Lots of dead mirrors and television sets have resulted from fast draw practice. Start with smooth, and speed will come. You'll never outdraw a pistol already pointed at you . . .

I was 18 during the "quick draw craze" in the '60's. I practiced my quick draw with a Colt Combat Commander in my bedroom and sent a .45 round through a $400 speaker and the bedroom wall into the doorjamb of the bathroom across the hall.

I was smooth, fast, and stupid in those days. These days I use situational awareness to see trouble coming so as to have my weapon in my hand by the time the need arises. That is of course if I am unable to leave a bad situation before that need comes.

In a gunfight I want to be the first and last to shoot.

Just called "Free Shot Timer" by IA Innovative Applications...

It will work with dry firing too, usually, if you can get the phone pretty close to the gun. It's not bad...and the price is great!

I can't find this app. Does anyone know a good shot timer app for
android?

 

[vireya]

I cud not find it either, so I just downloaded this but not tried it yet...til Monday

Splits - Shot Timer - Android Apps on Google Play

I prefer to rely on awareness and deceit.

No plan I have ever had, have now, or will EVER have involves trusting in the common sense, good judgment and basic decency of violent felons.

Actual submission is strictly against my policy

That however won't stop me from APPEARING to submit until such time as I can help my assailant gain a little weight... 200gr. at a time.
