Frequently Asked Questions

What are key self-defense techniques for ride-sharing scenarios?

Key techniques include maintaining situational awareness, creating a reactionary gap, using the G-Wrap retention grip for firearm control in grapples, and employing the Pectoral Index for close-quarters shooting to prevent weapon grabs.

How does Inceptor ARX ammunition perform compared to traditional options?

Inceptor ARX fluted ammunition is designed to feed as reliably as Full Metal Jacket rounds while still offering defensive expansion, addressing potential feeding issues sometimes seen with hollow-point bullets.

What is the G-Wrap retention technique?

The G-Wrap is a defensive tactic where the non-shooting hand covers the slide and ejection port of a pistol during a close-quarters struggle, helping to maintain control of the firearm and prevent an attacker from disarming the defender.

What advice is given for racking a semi-automatic pistol slide?

When racking the slide on pistols like the Ruger Security-9, it's recommended to pull the slide fully to the rear and allow it to slam forward naturally. This 'letting it fly' method helps prevent malfunctions compared to the 'slingshot' technique.
