Frequently Asked Questions

How does real-life handgun effectiveness compare to Hollywood portrayals?

Real-life handgun effectiveness is far less dramatic than Hollywood depicts. In a recent incident analyzed, a robber shot seven times remained mobile, eventually dying later, highlighting that immediate incapacitation is not guaranteed.

What is the 'FIBS Factor' in self-defense?

The 'FIBS Factor' stands for 'Fudge I've Been Shot.' It describes the physiological phenomenon where an individual can continue functioning and acting, sometimes aggressively, for a period even after sustaining serious gunshot wounds.

Why is a two-handed grip important for shooting technique?

A two-handed grip is crucial for improving shooting accuracy and reducing split times between shots. While one-handed shooting is possible, a two-handed grip generally allows for faster and more controlled follow-up shots.

What lessons can be learned from real-life self-defense incidents?

Key lessons include the need for emotional fitness to transition quickly to a defensive mindset, the importance of proper shooting techniques like using a two-handed grip for faster splits, and understanding that handguns may require multiple hits to stop a threat.
