In the 70s and 80s police shooting techniques and overall tactics were in an evolutionary state. LAPD SWAT because of their intensity of real world operations set the standard and the pace for that evolution at the time. Scott Reitz was a leader in that group.

Chapman, Rogers et al focused on shooting w/ precision and speed. I don't recall them teaching or claiming expertise in hands on techniques.

The practical shooting world now led by innovators schooled in the GWOT who have the desire and skills to teach the new and constantly evolving skillset.

There are still an abundance of posers, personified by Yeager.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.
