I've heard and read about that, but that sounds like a pretty good demonstration. Really brings the point home.

Yes, and when you take into consideration the Tueller drills are usually run with a holstered gun with no garments covering it, imagine what the scenario would be like under normal concealed carry conditions where you're having to pull open a coat or dig under a shirt to get to your gun. :gah:Even 21' is too close.
Excellent advice!! Thanks for the reminder. Since I'm still new to this, I have to constantly remind myself when I mentally run through scenarios to MOVE MOVE MOVE and TAKE COVER -- regardless of what the offensive weapon is.sacp81170a said:Standing still to draw from the holster against someone moving on you with an edged weapon in nigh suicidal. The best bet is to move aggressively at a 45 degree angle to his line of attack, preferably away from his strong side, while you're drawing... you'll only do this under pressure if you train this way a LOT...get out of the habit of just standing there while you draw. YMMV.
This is an important point. He KNEW the instructor was going to rush him and he still took three tries (there are no "re-do's" when it's for real). If you DON'T know the attack is coming, it's going to take more time (therefore more distance required) to respond. And, as Betty pointed out, the average CCW'er is going to be at a disadvantage because their weapon is concealed. I know for me, it takes longer to draw from my IWB holster than it did to draw from a duty-rig. All these factors add to the time it takes to respond.Rocnerd said:Even with the knowledge that the instructor was going to come at him it took him three tries to get the gun out
On the second attempt the student actually moved instinctually and the intructor ephasized that was key. If you move you force the guy with the knife to adjust to you. It is hard to adjust when you are going full speed. For the drill though he had the student stand still, as if he was backed against a car or wall, and so had no where to go.vzwnnj said:move back, move sideways...but move
