Frequently Asked Questions

How did the dog contribute to the self-defense incident?

The dog jumped on the armed suspect, creating a crucial distraction. This allowed the employee time to draw her firearm and engage the robbers, ultimately contributing to the successful defense of the store.

What are the pros and cons of off-body carry versus on-body carry?

Off-body carry, like from a purse, can be successful but is often less accessible and secure. On-body carry systems, such as the Phlster Enigma, offer better accessibility and retention, making them a preferred choice for many.

T-A-P-I-F-F-S stands for Threat down, Accomplices, Partner, Injuries, Firearm, Follow-up, Seek help. It's a post-incident protocol to ensure critical actions like securing threats, checking for injuries, and seeking medical aid are addressed systematically.

Why is a two-handed grip recommended for shooting?

A two-handed grip provides significantly better control and stability, leading to improved accuracy and faster follow-up shots. While one-handed shooting can be effective under duress, consistent training with a two-handed grip is vital.
