This NRA Gun Gear of the Week segment features LMS Defense instructor Troy Price discussing his "Zero Distance Pistol" training course. Unlike traditional long-range accuracy focus, this course emphasizes defensive pistol skills within a 10-foot radius. Host Joe Kurtenbach participated in a pilot run and spoke with Price about the underlying theory and techniques of this close-quarters defensive shooting methodology.
This video from LMS Defense focuses on a "Zero Distance Pistol Course." While specific details about the firearms, calibers, or techniques used are not provided in the description, the title clearly indicates a training or instructional event related to close-quarters pistol shooting. The content likely covers defensive shooting scenarios where the distance to the threat is minimal, emphasizing rapid engagement and firearm control under pressure. Viewers can expect practical advice and demonstrations on how to effectively handle a pistol at extremely close ranges.
John Chapman of LMS Defense emphasizes that gunfights are only 10% shooting, with the remaining 90% focused on decision-making under extreme pressure. He advocates for training that addresses the psychological aspects of combat and mission-specific priorities, contrasting this with traditional 'square range' methods. Chapman's philosophy stems from personal loss and aims to equip individuals with the critical efficiencies needed to survive.
