TheYankeeMarshal, an experienced firearms instructor, strongly advises against 'fast draw' or 'bang-bang' training methods. He explains that attempting to make drawing and firing simultaneous is unnatural, dangerous, and can lead to accidental self-inflicted wounds due to premature trigger pulls. Furthermore, such aggressive techniques are not realistic for self-defense and carry significant legal risks, potentially resulting in jail time. The instructor emphasizes that this type of training was not common prior to 20 years ago and is fundamentally flawed.

This video argues that striker-fired firearms are inherently inferior to hammer-fired designs, citing historical data on accidental discharges (NDs) in police departments transitioning between firearm types. The speaker categorizes striker-fired mechanisms into three types: not cocked (double-action only, leading to poor triggers), partially cocked (like Glock, still resulting in a bad trigger), and fully cocked (like the P320, which has a light trigger but is deemed dangerous due to its ease of accidental discharge).
