Frequently Asked Questions

What is force-on-force training and why is it important for self-defense?

Force-on-force training, often using Simunition marking rounds, simulates real-world threats like active shooters. It tests a participant's decision-making, reaction time, and gear under high stress, providing invaluable experience that static range practice cannot replicate.

How can a concealed carrier prevent friendly fire incidents during an active shooter event?

Clear and immediate verbal communication is key. Identifying yourself loudly as a 'good guy' with a firearm, and potentially directing others to safety, helps law enforcement or other armed citizens distinguish you from the threat.

What is a tactical reload and when should it be performed?

A tactical reload involves replacing a partially or fully expended magazine with a fresh one during a lull in the action, not necessarily when the gun is empty. It ensures the firearm is ready for immediate engagement while maintaining situational awareness.

What gear was featured in the First Person Defender active shooter simulation?

The simulation featured a participant using a training Glock-style pistol. Gear reviews included the Ruger SR-556 Takedown rifle and the Springfield XDS pistol equipped with Crimson Trace Laserguard Pro and DoubleTap Ammunition.
