HAD TO PUT MY ZPAP TO WORK/ PISTOL TRAINING!

Published on August 18, 2022
Duration: 16:44

This video demonstrates practical pistol training, focusing on the critical concept of 'height over bore' compensation for close-range engagements. The instructor emphasizes the need to aim higher than the target at distances of 7-10 yards to counteract the bullet's trajectory relative to the optic. The session also includes drills on reloads and target acquisition, highlighting the importance of practice for natural execution under pressure.

Quick Summary

At very close pistol engagement distances (7-10 yards), 'height over bore' is crucial. This is the distance between your barrel and your sight. To compensate, you must aim higher than your target, as the bullet will strike lower than your point of aim due to this offset.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'height over bore' and why is it important in pistol shooting?

'Height over bore' (HOB) is the vertical distance between the firearm's bore axis and the aiming point, typically the center of a red dot sight. At very close distances, like 7-10 yards, HOB becomes critical. It means your bullet will strike lower than your aiming point, requiring you to aim higher to compensate.

How should I adjust my aim for close-range pistol engagements?

For very close distances (7-10 yards), you need to compensate for 'height over bore.' Instead of aiming directly at your target, aim significantly higher. For instance, place your red dot on the target's 'belly button' or even higher to ensure the bullet hits the intended center mass area.

What firearms were featured in the GHG Hussle pistol training video?

The video showcased several firearms, including a custom Glock 19X (19 slide on a 17 frame), a Glock 26, a stock Glock 19, a Staccato pistol, a SIG Sauer P320, and a SIG Sauer P229 Legion. The focus was on practical application and training drills.

What tactical considerations were discussed for engaging a threat?

Beyond height over bore, the discussion touched on targeting strategies. One point was to aim for the pelvic girdle to incapacitate a threat by collapsing their structure, leading to them falling down. This highlights aiming for mobility-impairing areas.
