Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

Transitional spaces are areas like driveways, doorways, or parking lots where you are most vulnerable. They represent a shift from a secure environment to an exposed one, making preparedness and awareness crucial.

What is the best defensive tactic during a carjacking attempt?

During a carjacking, keeping car doors locked is vital. If forced to defend, shooting through the side window is often recommended over opening the door to maintain cover and a better defensive position.

How does auto glass affect bullet trajectory?

Windshield glass typically deflects bullets upwards. When shooting from inside a vehicle, aim low or create a 'port hole' by firing multiple shots to achieve better accuracy against threats outside.

What is the Mantis X10 system?

The Mantis X10 is a firearms performance system that uses a sensor and app to analyze shooting. It provides data on holster draw, recoil, and accuracy, helping users improve their skills through dry fire training.
