3 types of gun jams3/21/2024 I have some research into & familiarity with the question you asked. I'm the Director of Operations with 10X Defense. Replyĭo you condone or recommend using snap caps randomly placed in the mag to give a malfunction simulation? Reply I hope that helps clear up things a little bit…sorry for the ridiculously long explanation. Broken down, the drills response to the "click" is to laterally move while & perform the tap/rack all while staying focused on the threat. The CFS taught first response to this, is the "Tap Rack Drill". The reality is, that if you were actually using your firearm to defend yourself or others, & it went "click" instead of "BANG"…that means that you have already determined that more shots were still necessary to stop that threat. What Rob is also trying to convey, is to not make a habit of always going back to the holster after a malfunction clearing drill. This means that you are able to see what is transpiring with the threats around you, as you move & get your firearm back up & running & back into the fight. They are also performed as we "move laterally to get off the X" or as we move to cover. All of our re-loading & malfunction clearing drills can be performed under stress without looking at the firearm. We teach our students to "focus on the threat" while performing these tasks. In CFS we teach that any & all manipulation of the the firearm (except for re-holstering) should be done without looking at the firearm itself.

Your are right that a lot of things can happen in that period while your head is down & your focusing on the firearm.

He demonstrates the holster in another video. If you look closely you'll see the clip on his belt. Joe, Rob uses a custom appendix carry holster. When did he tell us to stick the pistol down our pants without a holster in this video? Reply That's what holsters are for, right? Reply But I'm not sure I want to stick a loaded pistol down my pants pointed right at my private parts. That is what I was thinking - but wanted to be sure!įor myself, I assumed the need for re-engagement was still there.Īnyone who couldn't quickly discerned whether there's a need or not, has no business carrying a gun. Hi, Moe! Once the round is outside of the chamber, the worst case scenario is some sharp pieces of the case itself (brass, aluminum, etc.) flying around. What happens to an ejected bullet that was slow to fire? am I now in danger of it firing and hitting me? or will it do the same as if it was placed in a fire and just explode with no projection? Reply Proper techniques practiced correctly will save your life! Reply The Power stroke method also forces the shooter to chase their grip to reestablish a good two handed thumbs forward grip. There are 3 main ways to rack a slide and coming over the top with a power stroke is by far the least productive and will induce malfunctions.
