Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Move and Shoot Drill' and why is it important for self-defense?

The Move and Shoot Drill involves firing multiple rapid shots (typically five) at several targets while incorporating movement, such as stepping forward between engagements. This drill is crucial for self-defense because it trains shooters to deliver effective fire under dynamic conditions, breaking away from static range habits and the common double-tap cadence.

How does this drill differ from typical competition shooting like USPSA?

Unlike USPSA, which often emphasizes a double-tap cadence, this drill focuses on shooting strings of five rapid shots. This is to train for real-world self-defense scenarios where stopping a threat might require more than two shots, and to overcome the ingrained habit of stopping at two rounds.

What firearm and modifications were used in this move and shoot drill demonstration?

The drill was performed with a Gen 5 Glock 45, featuring a full-size grip and a compact slide. It was equipped with a prototype Pyramid Gen 2 trigger for improved feel and a tungsten guide rod to reduce muzzle flip and enhance shooting speed and control.

What is the recommended accuracy standard for this self-defense drill?

The drill emphasizes 'combat accuracy' or 'self-defense accuracy.' This means hits within the vital zones of a man-sized target (like an 8.5x11 inch paper) at close to moderate distances, prioritizing the ability to quickly and effectively stop a threat over extreme precision.
