Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal of the John Wick shooting drill?

The goal is to achieve a sub-2-second drill, which involves drawing a pistol and firing two rounds into two separate targets located at 25 feet.

How should one practice the pistol draw for speed?

Taran Butler emphasizes driving the gun straight to the target, avoiding 'bowling' or 'fishing' motions. The trigger should be squeezed as soon as the sights align with the target.

What grip technique minimizes muzzle flip for faster follow-up shots?

A high grip, utilizing features like the 'accelerator cut' on the frame, helps lock the support hand in place. This technique significantly reduces muzzle flip, allowing for quicker subsequent shots.

What is the recommended method for reloading a pistol quickly?

For efficient reloads, index the magazine with your index finger along the front of the magazine well. Taran recommends using the slide release rather than racking the slide to save time and maintain a consistent grip.
