Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

Transitional spaces are areas like sidewalks or open gates that can be used by attackers to conceal their intentions until they are very close to the defender. Keeping gates closed is a key defensive measure against ambushes originating from these areas.

Why is keeping your firearm 'on-body' important for self-defense?

Keeping your firearm readily accessible on your person ('on-body carry') is crucial because it significantly reduces your reaction time. This readiness provides more options and buys critical time when facing a sudden, life-threatening encounter.

How does the MantisX system help improve shooting skills?

The MantisX Firearms Training System attaches to your firearm and connects to a smartphone app. It tracks precise movements like barrel movement and trigger pull, providing data-driven feedback to help you improve accuracy and speed for defensive situations.

What is a key mistake to avoid after a defensive shooting?

A critical mistake to avoid is chasing fleeing suspects. This action can re-expose you to danger and potentially lead to a counter-ambush. The priority should be securing your location and contacting law enforcement.
