@blam7 Ok... but I think that you are missing the point. Odds are, that you won't be shooting from an extended arm(s) position. You will probably be shooting form a retention format due to the range at which most things take place.
@1973Saved I did a video in broad daylight (about high noon with no cloud coverage) and I was able to see my laser sight from 21 feet with no problem. Of course, that was with a fresh battery. I would say that you should have no problem seeing them 10 -15 feet away in most situations. Of course, I cannot guarantee anything.
he is wrong. its called a hammer pair. one sight pic two shots. prob solved. or you can stare at the target shoot aimlessly and hope to hit him. or tak 1 maybe 2 well aimed shot. and if hes that close to begin with. your fucked or shootin
The point I would make is that YOU are the weapon. The pistol is just one of the tools you use. Knowing when and how to use it is the goal of the presenter. If the threat is as close as described in the video when you draw your pistol you do NOT have time to focus on the front site.
@MrOlioable I agree with Brian. If you wouldn't call someone an idiot to their face then don't do it on his channel. I mean if you disagree with someone, fine, bit calling them names and being disrespectful. You probably shouldn't carry a concealed weapon anyway. I've been a cop for over eight years and agree with MOST od what Brian says.
Did anyone else notice he was bowling on his presentation? I get it...but you have to train your muscle-memory by looking at your front sight so that when you get into a real situation, your hands, arms, body, etc. will just line up correctly.
Every so often, you need to do some point shooting but the majority of your training should be dry, followed by sight picture/sight alignment based training (hard focus on the front sight) and the some instinctive shooting where you're doing tactics, scenarios (especially with simunitions), shooting on the move, etc. I do some dry work at least 4-5 times a week.
I'll go to the range or do a course where I focus on that front sight on every shot and make sure I get good sight alignment and get a sight picture before and after each shot and then I'll do 3-5 2day classes a year on tactics and using simunitions to actually shoot people. If you train that way, your skills don't deteriorate. If all you train is point shooting, you will SUCK at shooting in short order. Point shooting should be an extension of your skills not a skill in and of itself.
Did anyone else notice he was bowling on his presentation? I get it...but you have to train your muscle-memory by looking at your front sight so that when you get into a real situation, your hands, arms, body, etc. will just line up correctly.
@mhansen111 I never said you shouldn't know how to use your sights. HOWEVER, in the real deal you won't see your sights. Obviously your training is limited to text book scenarios that are not realistic. If you rely on the gun to get the job done, you are screwed to begin with. Using your front sight the way most people teach is only good for less than 10% of real world situations. Using your front sight in 90% of situations can get you killed or seriously injured.
Not to mention there is no proof that using your front sight WILL increase your hit ratio. Things happen at such close distances you won't have time to see your sights & the position you will be in shouldn't be in front of the muzzle how most people teach. I would encourage you & others to watch our CQC tract.
EVERY ENCOUNTER WILL BE DIFFERENT , SO TRAIN PERIODICALLY AND HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO USE DEADLY FORCE. BUT IF YOU DO SHOOT AS FAST AS YOU CAN AT CENET MASS. THAT IS ALL !!
So, front sight use is THEORY & it's ridiculous to think I can find my front sight- but I WILL see a laser on a moving attacker at, or inside arms length? It is ( 90%!?) likely that if I extend my weapon it will be taken from me? Where exactly does that statistic come from? When do I measure the 10 ft distance and decide to go to sights?
@sbd45acp ...Yes, for most civilian encounters. The front sight teaching is simply a theory & is taught because most instructors don't understand a civilian life threatening encounter. There is a time & place for everything, but, if you train realistically with someone attacking you, then & only then might you realize what I am saying. Against a knife wielding attacker you are going to have to protect your gun hand from getting cut. Hence the retention format shooting.
Unfortunately most instructors don't train with someone trying to attack them. The only train against static paper targets that are not closing distance. So, what I'm saying is that if you can see your front sight, more than likely you are going to lose your gun in 90% of situations, or you are 10 feet on out. And the latter is the only time you should be looking for your front sight.
@brian47374 I said more than likely. It really is as simple as training & figuring out what I am saying. Standing before a knife wielding attacker & you think that if he is 0-6 feet away that you are going to get your gun out without sustaining serious injury? Do you think they are going to just stand there & LET you draw your gun? My friend, a knife is MUCH more dangerous than your handgun. ALL they have to do is cut the inside of your arm & you will probably lose your gun.
Or if you are facing a person with a gun & you extend your arms out you are placing both hands out where the attacker can shoot you & you lose your weapon. Unfortunately trainers don't tell you these things because they only train for the pretty picture syndrome. Have someone attack you with a knife. Put things to the test. What is so hard to understand about seeing a dot on the target & not your front sight. What is more important, staying alive or shooting someone?
It is obvious that your plan for survival is to use the gun to immediately reduce the threat. Is it easier to see your sights on the target when you are running at full speed away from the threat(s) or a red dot knowing when and IF you can pull the trigger? You CANNOT SHOOT unless you are 100% sure you are on target. The red dot doesn't lie.
You should NOT slow your movement down to see your sights & try to get rounds on target. Point is in all of this, the likelihood of you dropping someone on the spot is slim at best with sights or red dot. The 90% stat is that 90% of situations happen from 0-10 ft. And if you place your arms out towards the threat, you are putting them in danger in 90% of situations. Yes, it is likely that you will lose your weapon by doing that. Seeing the front sight isn't realistic or practical 90% of the time
@sbd45acp It's going to be more difficult to find your front sight because you are probably going to be shooting from a retention format & can't see your front sights. The whole mindset of seeing your sights in a fight is ridiculous IMHO. That is, in MOST confrontations. It's much easier to see a red dot on the target than it is to see your sights.
your videos are on point and you give everyone something to think about. What kind of holster is that your using and is that your everyday carry holster or just the one you use in your videos?
@flyeeem1@flyeeem1 Thanks. I use Sharktac holsters. I normally only show in the videos what my every day carry holsters are. You can go to sharktac.com and they will be more than glad to help you out. Tell them that you saw their holster on my video.
bullets go relativley in a straight line anyway so there is only a need to aim except for presicion shots so at close range as long as your gun is pointed at them the chances are that your going to hit them but you can never be sure
@nebula25x Thanks and we would like for you to train with us! Stay tuned... we will have a training opportunity that you will probably be very interested in!
I would like to ad that regardless of what distance you are at, having a laser on the target is much better than any sight picture because they may be some "doubt" as to whether or not you can hit the target. With a dot on the target, you KNOW you can pull the trigger. As a learning tool though, you do want to practice using your front sight. For combat applications odds are you won't see your front sight, but you will see your dot on the person.
My problem is I'm all busted up. I use a large walking stick instead of a cane. It can come in really handy in a close up situation. I have several movement limits so I must work with and around them.
I'm really good with guns and you are correct that a gun is not the answer in all situations.
My stick is always in my hand and short of the other person having a gun I can damage a knee or elbow really quickly .
arms and hands out there, to get that aim. ANd there are some quick draw practitioners on youtube, that are a)wickedly fast and b) accurate. In the world of hand gun fighting you had better be one or both of two things. Accurate, and fast. If your not, your dead. If you can afford the time to aim, more power to you. But when your in knee deep in shit, and the man with a gun or knife, is too close to do that, you had better be FAST! nuff said. Brian is right on the money.
to aim. All you can do it point at what you want to destroy and pull the trigger. Is it 100% accurate? No, is it effective? Absolutely! Are there people that can hit targets at further ranges than say, 25,30, 40, and even 50ft. with a handgun and not use a site? Yes, there are. But they have to practice. For myself, if your going to use a weapon, any weapon in a confrontation, you have to get it into the fight as soon as possuible. And the draw that brian is teaching is faster than putting your
So it's been awhile since I've been on this channel. First of all, never been to front site, here it is a great place to train. However, they do make some pretty outrageous claims also. I.E. 'fastest draw in the industry", "Shoot 200 meter targets with a pistol" Right. You know during vietnam the army taught our soldiers a way of shooting called 'point shooting", you just poined the weapon where you wanted the bullet to go and pulled the trigger. WHy? Because at close range tou don't have time
I've taken advanced classes idiot and teach way more than you do and the RiGHT way they do it realistically if someone has a knife or gun but once you pull that gun out if they r really close go to close contact but if you r 5 meters away you can pull out and extend because you will be moving not stationary you will back up and shoot on the move
@frontsightDG Well, first of all I believe that you need to learn a little about respect. You have some nerve coming on to my channel and calling me an idiot. Obviously they didn’t teach you manners at Front Sight. Next, just because you went to FS & it was an “advanced” class doesn’t mean it was real. Quite honestly, I’ve not seen one single “big name” school that teaches things RIGHT. That is, the way you are most likely to encounter.
Not to mention you don’t understand the concept of low hit ratio. Which, I know they don’t teach there because it contradicts what they teach. It is this simple, when you train realistically you will understand what I am saying. Until then, you are fooling yourself as to what reality and the RIGHT way is. This is a common problem in the firearms training community when it comes to “defensive” handgun training. The gun is NOT the solution to your problem.
You can disagree with what I say. I don’t have a problem with that. But to come here & be just plain rude is unacceptable. You can believe in any system YOU want. But until you know what you are talking about as far as realism goes, please refrain from making comments as you have. I know what most schools teach & they don’t have it right. SOON, VERY SOON, I will be releasing a video telling the flaws in most defensive handgun training and “martial arts” systems.
Realism? If you want to pull the "realism" card, answer this: why do guys who have shot a shitload of people (Vickers, Lamb, Defoor, McNamara, Haley, Potynsky, Pannone, Searcy, Howe, et al.) advocate marksmanship as much as they do?
@dookie0311 That is a VERY good question! Military and LE applications are FAR different than civilian encounters. Maybe you should watch the Reality vs The Matrix Handgun training video and you will learn WHY things are different. Just because someone teaches something does not mean that it valid for civilian use. If you have trained with an attacker who is trying to kill you, you should realize that what most people teach doesn't work.
Ur an idiot obviously u don't train right because you don't just pull out and stop you move and shoot dammit you are backing up I've been trained at the best facility in
The world Front Sight Firearms Training Institute
@frontsightDG I never said you would or should stop in order to shoot. It is sad that you have drank the kool aid believe what you do because of who you have trained with. I would strongly encourage you to have someone attack you with a knife realistically from 5 feet away and see what really happens. Just remember that paper targets don’t shoot back or cut/stab you.
Brian, thanks for the videos and the kickass important info you are giving to we watchers.
I train and instruct, always looking for information and instruction that helps make me a better source for students.
Aim and teach younger folks, those who may be casual handgunners, not yet able to lawfully carry, but can use handguns. Want Safety and ability to be imprinted deeply in these "kids". Teaching them now is what I enjoy to do.
@brian47374 I did and these are in no way relevant to you answering the question of.... outside of a lasergrip and a grapple situation, HOW DO YOU PUT ROUNDS ON TARGET?
@M1NDC0N7R0L Obviously you missed the part about the 20% hit ratio & that the FBI's report states that the likelihood of landing multiple rounds is highly unlikely due to the dynamics of a life threatening encounter. What's more important getting rounds on target or staying alive. After all, the probability of you immediately incapaciting someone is slim at best. So again I say, whats more important staying alive or getting rounds on target?
@brian47374 I am not arguing your statistics. I agree staying alive is of the utmost importance, However there are many cases where staying alive is contingent upon putting rounds on target. To which I would interject that using your front sight focus in conjunction with your overall sight picture would yield the best result. thanks for the responses, it is always great to get an outside opinion on our training methods.
@M1NDC0N7R0L There is a time & place for everything, including using your sights. As I believe that I stated in the video if you are beyond 10 would be where you would start to use your sights. Since 90% of situations happen within 10 ft., we don't teach sighting shooting per se because if you are more than 10 ft. on out, should you be shooting & not running away? So, your sights are good for maybe 10% of confrontations out on the street.
@brian47374 Ok then you will just have to admit that you fail to plan for extraordinary threat circumstances. The what if scenario is a luxury that we have until a lethal force situation arises. So as a father of two young children, I don't plan on running unless I can get my children out safely, and with all due respect sir, I choose to use every advantage that i have available, including my sights, And incorporate this into my muscle memory. I think in my humble opinion that you are teaching
@M1NDC0N7R0L a dangerous mindset to a wide group of people. I however do not find it productive to start squabbles between someone who is like minded as far as exercising the second amendment, so I will part with this. Thank you for the responses and the video, I will derive as much knowledge as I can from it.
@M1NDC0N7R0L What is a dangerous mindset from your point of view. I simply state the facts that others are not willing to state. The handgun has become the diet pill of self defense. Defending yourself with a handgun while out on the street is a TOUGH thing to do & be successful. My intent is not to offend anyone, but rather state the facts. IF that offends someone, then so be it. I hope that you have gotten something worthwhile out of our videos!
@brian47374 Odds are that you WON'T get them on target. If so, an average of 20% is what you can expect. I know that most instructors teach gettting round on target, however, they are relying on the gun to get the job done and that's just not realistic in any case. Your gun is not going to save your life! Especially a handgun.
that's basically what my pops always told me about handguns. Just point it where you want it to go. He has never used his sites, and he's pretty good with a pistol. LOL! Makes sense in close. That was a good video. Thanks for posting that man. Appreciate it. :)
i never use my sights on my gun. I practice and train my hands to go where my eyes go.

Ok... outside of a lasergrip and a grapple situation, how do you put rounds on target?

@M1NDC0N7R0L Did you watch the videos on caliber and shot placement?

@brian47374 I did and these are in no way relevant to you answering the question of.... outside of a lasergrip and a grapple situation, HOW DO YOU PUT ROUNDS ON TARGET?
M1NDC0N7R0L 1 year ago
@M1NDC0N7R0L Obviously you missed the part about the 20% hit ratio & that the FBI's report states that the likelihood of landing multiple rounds is highly unlikely due to the dynamics of a life threatening encounter. What's more important getting rounds on target or staying alive. After all, the probability of you immediately incapaciting someone is slim at best. So again I say, whats more important staying alive or getting rounds on target?
brian47374 1 year ago
@brian47374 I am not arguing your statistics. I agree staying alive is of the utmost importance, However there are many cases where staying alive is contingent upon putting rounds on target. To which I would interject that using your front sight focus in conjunction with your overall sight picture would yield the best result. thanks for the responses, it is always great to get an outside opinion on our training methods.

@M1NDC0N7R0L There is a time & place for everything, including using your sights. As I believe that I stated in the video if you are beyond 10 would be where you would start to use your sights. Since 90% of situations happen within 10 ft., we don't teach sighting shooting per se because if you are more than 10 ft. on out, should you be shooting & not running away? So, your sights are good for maybe 10% of confrontations out on the street.

@brian47374 Ok then you will just have to admit that you fail to plan for extraordinary threat circumstances. The what if scenario is a luxury that we have until a lethal force situation arises. So as a father of two young children, I don't plan on running unless I can get my children out safely, and with all due respect sir, I choose to use every advantage that i have available, including my sights, And incorporate this into my muscle memory. I think in my humble opinion that you are teaching

@M1NDC0N7R0L a dangerous mindset to a wide group of people. I however do not find it productive to start squabbles between someone who is like minded as far as exercising the second amendment, so I will part with this. Thank you for the responses and the video, I will derive as much knowledge as I can from it.

@M1NDC0N7R0L What is a dangerous mindset from your point of view. I simply state the facts that others are not willing to state. The handgun has become the diet pill of self defense. Defending yourself with a handgun while out on the street is a TOUGH thing to do & be successful. My intent is not to offend anyone, but rather state the facts. IF that offends someone, then so be it. I hope that you have gotten something worthwhile out of our videos!

@brian47374 Odds are that you WON'T get them on target. If so, an average of 20% is what you can expect. I know that most instructors teach gettting round on target, however, they are relying on the gun to get the job done and that's just not realistic in any case. Your gun is not going to save your life! Especially a handgun.

that's basically what my pops always told me about handguns. Just point it where you want it to go. He has never used his sites, and he's pretty good with a pistol. LOL! Makes sense in close. That was a good video. Thanks for posting that man. Appreciate it. :)
