Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage does on-person concealed carry offer over off-person storage?

On-person concealed carry ensures immediate access to your firearm regardless of your position within a space, making it strategically superior in dynamic defensive encounters compared to storing a weapon off-body or in a fixed location.

What is 'slide bite' and how can it be avoided during firearm use?

Slide bite is an injury caused by the pistol's slide cutting the shooter's hand, often due to an improper grip where the thumb interferes with the slide's movement. Maintaining a high, firm grip that avoids contact with the slide's travel path prevents this.

Why is understanding 3D anatomy important for defensive shooting?

Engaging a threat from an angle requires knowledge of 3D anatomy to ensure that a projectile strikes vital structures, even if the shot isn't perfectly aligned from a direct rear or front view. This maximizes the effectiveness of the defensive action.

What is the recommended bystander action during an active threat?

If you are not directly involved in resolving the threat, the safest action is to immediately escape the danger zone. Prioritize your own safety by creating distance from the incident.
