Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key principles for defending against threats from behind?

Defending against threats from behind, or 'at your six,' involves employing 'violence of action,' maintaining a low profile to reduce your target size, and using covering fire to create an opportunity for escape or engagement. This requires rapid threat recognition and decisive action.

How do you technically draw and shoot to the rear?

Technically drawing and shooting to the rear involves using peripheral vision to assess threat proximity, securing a master grip on your firearm, manipulating clothing to clear the weapon, and establishing a stable two-handed grip while orienting towards the threat.

Why is situational awareness crucial in tactical scenarios?

Situational awareness is crucial to avoid being 'sucked in' by a single threat, allowing you to scan for both near and far dangers. Overlooking other threats due to tunnel vision can be fatal in close-quarters battle and survival situations.

What firearms are recommended for survival scenarios?

For survival, the Glock 19 or 17 in 9mm are highly recommended due to their extreme reliability and widespread availability of parts and magazines. The Glock 26 is also noted as an ultimate backup due to its compact size and magazine compatibility.
