Frequently Asked Questions

What is force-on-force training?

Force-on-force training uses non-lethal training ammunition like Simunition to simulate real-world confrontations. Participants engage in realistic scenarios to test their defensive skills, decision-making, and gear under pressure, providing valuable feedback for improvement.

How do laser sights help in home defense?

Laser sights, like the Crimson Trace Laserguard, are crucial for low-light or no-light situations common in home defense. They allow for faster target acquisition by projecting a visible dot, bypassing the need for precise alignment of traditional sights.

What is a common mistake in self-defense scenarios?

A critical mistake is prematurely relaxing or assuming the threat is over after neutralizing the initial attacker. This can leave you vulnerable to secondary threats, as demonstrated in the scenario where Ann was overpowered after stopping the first intruder.

What gear was used in the First Person Defender episode?

The episode featured a Smith & Wesson M&P and a Springfield Armory XDM with a Crimson Trace Laserguard. Holsters included the CrossBreed Bedside Backup, and training ammunition was Simunition. Nosler ammunition was also mentioned.
