We are so glad to have you in the USCCA family, dodgerocks! Thank you for watching! Do you think you might try this drill out next time you are at the range?
USCCA no I do not,yet. I need to make more time to train. I trained faithfully for about six months. I researched before getting my CCW, and knew it would be a lifestyle change. I backed off a bit to put more balance with life/wife.

Unpleasant question that may require me to purchase... If deadly force is demonstrated to be necessary, is it tactically or legally wise to allow the attacker to live? Not sure how the Supreme Court would handle this (okay, I kinda do) yet my question is: at what point does one forfeit their life by way of trying to kill/victimize another? At what point can a 'family member' sue the good guy despite everyone knowing the antics of the attacker?
Great questions.. in this particular scenario, the shots fired into lower hip region would be easy to validate. After the break and step back, the continued shots to upper mass and head area would have many important variables to legally justify. One positive variable to continue defense, would be advancement from the attacker in your direction. Shots after the attackers drop to the ground, or turn to flee has major potential to bite you big time. Stay safe and well
@@USCCAOfficial I reckon that it puts me at a disadvantage given my 10 years in the Army wherein we sang things like "Trained to kill; kill we will!". I guess 'neutralizing' a threat is different than it was in Afghanistan...
@@RetroMMA I would NEVER discredit the training you received and we do thank you for your service. I am only trying to help answer your original question.
@@USCCAOfficial Understood. It's just that people can be bullet sponges and despite my name, sometimes it's going to be a mag dump. That will look bad in court when the prosecution implies, to an ignorant jury, that it was 'overkill'. Gun fights and such violent encounters leave little room to fully assess all factors, including "is the threat nullified?" So what I'm basically asking: are your lawyers prepared to rebut that nonsense?
When you discharge your firearm as you did in the video above, do you take muzzle blast powder, gas, etc. to your face or body? I haven't done any shooting in that position and I want to prepare myself for the potential muzzle blast, if any.
Actually, no. I was surprised the first time I shot a cqb class, in the fact that your body will find a "natural position" from the hip to fire your first 2-3 rounds, then as you step back, you come to full shooting position and acquire target. You'll get a "natural shot placement" every time you shoot from the hip. You'll get no muzzle blast to the face. You'll get some powder and ect...on your shooting hands and on your clothes obviously, but your head is clear. I've shot from compressed ready position, and that's a different story altogether. This is a variant of what Sig Sauer teaches. It's nearly the same thing.
Please do not put your hand down to show us while you have your gun pointing and showing us where those rounds would go. Time mark 1:49 is just one example.
Ken it can be effectively taught with a good percentage of safety. At training we avoid people with the mindset you have here. Heaven knows we don't need someone foolishly hurting themselves and giving a black mark on those of us that are responsible citizens. It is even mentioned in this video where to put the opposite hand and arm if your retention of the video is good enough. If not I can respond with the timestamp if you like. Thanks for reply Ken.
@@Sammydoozer I completely understand your concerns with safety. For training purposes, Kevin is using a UTM gun so he can safely do this drill and point out the areas on the target.
@@USCCAOfficial I am glad you understand. As Kevin is trying to teach muscle good memory my comment was just to stay away from any form of bad muscle memory and nothing more. Enough said eh... Thanks for your reply,
As a Martial Arts Master Instructor, it’s been my experience that you rarely, if ever find yourself in a perfect position ,( ie. tactical stance.) the premise of this video, is trying to instruct the viewer as to what you should attempt to do if you find yourself in the unenviable position that you MUST discharge your firearm at tight quarters. Oh, and please elaborate on the “Death Strikes”.
Still not a fan of the pelvic shots for fight stopping. Yes, you might drop the attacker, but he/she could still shoot or cut. Your shots could also go through the girdle. Just another perspective.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Doctor Quackenbush. Kevin recommends this shot because it will drop your attacker giving you time to back up and get in a better defensive position.
Doctor Quackenbush, I can absolutely understand your reservations about this approach. The high center chest would be the ideal target. We recommend this option to give an alternative in situations when a shot to high center chest is not safe/possible.
thx kevin
Great teaching points! Thanks
Thank you for tuning in, Chris! :)
Great stuff... Thanks for sharing...
We are always happy to help!
Good instructions, thanks.
Up close a j frame looks pretty good.
Thank you
Thanks for the excellent advice and training. You guys are the best at what you do. I'm a very satisfied member.
We are so glad to have you in the USCCA family, dodgerocks! Thank you for watching! Do you think you might try this drill out next time you are at the range?
Nice Video Kevin
Good stuff!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, James! Do you spend a decent amount of time training for a close quarters fight?
USCCA no I do not,yet. I need to make more time to train. I trained faithfully for about six months. I researched before getting my CCW, and knew it would be a lifestyle change. I backed off a bit to put more balance with life/wife.
It is a beneficial skillset to have, James!
Yes, I agree. I have been considering buying an air soft. Should just get it done.

What holster is that?
Dhruv, it is a Desantis ECR holster.
You should do a video on this same technique drawing from concealment AIWB and IWB 4 o'clock. I'd say 90% of us are not carrying open.
Great words Mr Kevin. Point blank common sense. Thank you
Thank you for tuning in, Andrew! :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥 i gotta do this in gta 5
Kevin what about if you are on the ground? maybe you can do a video on that scenario
Great suggestion!

As responsibly armed Americans, we are here to save and protect lives, not to take them. We shoot to stop the threat, not to kill.

Good video
Thanks Kevin, very practical stuff. The valuable info I've gotten from watching you have convinced me to join USCCA.
We are happy to have you in our USCCA family, Michael!
Good look out!!
Another good video, thanks

Step 1 be sure you have a revolver. 😊😇
Thank you Kevin for the excellent lesson
Good retention distance intro, Kevin.
Good thing I took Martial Arts Class.
That is definitely beneficial training to have! It never hurts to expand on your training, however.
At that distance my knife woud be perfect. It will turn & rip tissues upon penetration creating a larger L shape wound channel.
Thanks Kevin. Could you bring with last month's MBC (Martial Blade Concepts) has given me two invaluable lessons on CQB.
Why was my comment removed or hidden? I brought up a legit issue with respect. No bueno folks if you're trying to reach people..
What comment are you referring to, Lyle?
Please do not put your hand down to show us while you have your gun pointing and showing us where those rounds would go. Time mark 1:49 is just one example.
If you want to be as safe as humanly possible with firearms, teaching effective combative firearms tactics/strategy is not for you.

@@Sammydoozer predictably missed my point.
At point blank drawing is a bad % defense / a last resort - must learn hand to hand tactical stance engagement / death strikes if necessary -
These death strikes you speak of sound impressive. Tell us more
