How To Train With Your CCW Around Your Vehicle

This video explores the effectiveness of red dot sights versus traditional iron sights and shooting without any sights at close defensive ranges (0-10 yards) and at a longer distance (40 yards). The experiment involves multiple shooters of varying skill levels performing timed drills. The findings suggest that at very close distances, the sighting system may have minimal impact on speed and accuracy during a high-stress self-defense scenario, with training and familiarity being paramount. However, at longer distances, red dot sights demonstrate a clear advantage in accuracy and speed.
