Frequently Asked Questions

What is purposeful compliance in a self-defense scenario?

Purposeful compliance involves cooperating with a robber's demands in a controlled manner. This tactic aims to de-escalate the immediate threat and create an opportunity to defend yourself when the situation allows, rather than immediate resistance.

How can a firearm malfunction like an unseated magazine be cleared?

An unseated magazine can often be cleared using the 'Tap-Rack' drill. This involves tapping the base of the magazine to ensure it's properly seated and then racking the slide to chamber a new round, restoring the firearm to operational status.

Is point shooting effective for self-defense?

Point shooting can be effective for engaging threats at very close distances when time is critical. While sighted fire is generally preferred for accuracy, point shooting is a viable technique when immediate action is paramount.

What is a surreptitious draw?

A surreptitious draw is the act of drawing a concealed firearm discreetly without alerting the threat. This technique is often employed while maintaining a posture of compliance or distraction to gain a tactical advantage.
