Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'cold start' in firearm training?

A 'cold start' in firearm training refers to the initial shots fired without any prior warm-up or practice. It's used to assess fundamental skills and readiness, especially after a period of not shooting, as demonstrated in this Glock 19x drill.

Why is accuracy prioritized over speed in this Glock 19x drill?

The instructor prioritizes accuracy over speed in this cold start drill because it's the first time shooting after a break. The goal is to re-establish fundamental skills and ensure consistent A-zone hits, which is more critical than raw speed in a defensive situation.

What are the benefits of starting a draw from a high 'fighting position'?

Starting a draw from a high 'fighting position' (hands up) offers tactical advantages by concealing the firearm and preparing the shooter for immediate defensive action. This contrasts with a low ready, which may be faster but reveals the weapon and intent prematurely.

How can clothing affect a firearm draw?

Clothing, like a loose flannel shirt, can significantly hinder a smooth firearm draw. It can snag on the pistol or holster, causing delays and requiring extra effort to clear the garment, as observed during this Glock 19x training drill.
