You have that down I'd say. I think you found your new favorite.

The DC baseball field shooting reminded me of this old thread, misconceptions people have, along with the mountains of bad info people get from "Certified Instructors".
I bet being able to make fast and accurate hits at 50 yards would have been a rather useful skill set to have when the liberal whackjob started shooting at the GOP baseball field in DC a couple days ago.

Amen... And how many other incidents over the years have caused you to think that same thought. The North Hollywood gun fight comes immediately to mind.

The LAPD 1997 North Hollywood gun battle was a long range affair, with patrol officers shooting from 35-100 yards while advancing on the suspects. The officer that killed the 1st suspect shot him with his last round of 9mm in the side of the head at 35 yards. He started following and engaging the suspect from a distance of 100 yards. Bob

Mike,
I just had a "Father-Daughter day" with my middle kiddo and after fishing (we got skunked) and ice cream (that made things better), we went and played on a big set of playground equipment that had a baseball field right next to it.
I took note that some kids on the far side were well in excess 50 yards. In fact, the fence and entrance was probably a good 75 yards from where I stood. I am carrying my G17 today along with a spare 22 round ETS mag (downloaded by 1, to 21). I made the observation that it would not have been too hard to get behind one of the big trees that line the outside of the field, and get inside a nutjob/active shooter's OODA Loop, and keep him occupied dodging 124 grain gifts, until a better course of action could be determined.

MS, visualisation is a useful training tool, made even better when you know what it takes to make the shot and do the work to make it happen. Your credibility adds a lot to this site.

In defensive situations we are dealing with two different scenarios..one being a "property" crime and the other being murder where the object is to kill not steal.
Most property crimes start within conversation distance, the object usually being to just take your property not necessarily kill you.
Killings on the other hand can start anywhere from contact distance to as far away as you can be seen by the perpetrator.
Problem of course is being prepared mentally and physically as well having the equipment and ability to take care of any situation that arises.
Robberies of course happen all day, every day, every where....but so do killings, even the long range ones happen frequently. Think of the Texas Tower shooting, how many shopping malls, movie theaters and sporting events have been hit....and now we have Jihadist shootings to add to the mix....
Be the best you can be with what is most practically advantageous to carry...Bob
If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....
