Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of force-on-force training with marking cartridges?

Force-on-force training, like that shown with Simunition marking cartridges, provides realistic feedback for defensive tactics. It allows participants to practice engaging threats in simulated scenarios, honing their tactical instincts and decision-making under pressure in a safe, controlled environment.

What is the 'ball and dummy' drill for?

The 'ball and dummy' drill is used to identify and correct flinching or anticipation when shooting. By mixing live rounds with empty chambers in a revolver, shooters are forced to maintain proper trigger control without anticipating the shot, improving overall accuracy.

Why is it dangerous to pursue an intruder outside the home?

Pursuing an intruder outside your home is dangerous because you leave a secure position, potentially facing unknown threats. It also carries risks related to encountering law enforcement or escalating the situation unnecessarily.

What are key considerations for carrying a 1911 pistol?

Carrying a 1911 pistol 'cocked and locked' (hammer cocked, safety on) requires diligent practice. Ensuring the thumb safety is engaged and disengaged correctly under stress is crucial for safe and effective deployment.
