[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3241964, member: 5316"] I agree it is a skill that needs to be developed to great proficiency. The current BFI qualification requires shooting from the ready position 4 rounds to slide lock, preforming the reload, and firing 4 more rounds. It must be performed in 8 seconds. That is a good start. But it will be pretty difficult with a revolver. This is one reason I don't carry a revolver. I carried a J-frame for 20 years as a BUG, but almost never as a primary. I do think you are on the right track on the mindset of reloading after the gunfight and has been mentioned many times in the classes I have had. John Correia of Active Self Protection has compiled quite a bit of statistics from review of several videos involving shootings. At the time he presented this information at the instructor training seminar I was at, the video count was in excess of 5000. Earlier this year it was at 15,000 without anything really changing the original stats. Quote from the results, with my added emphasis. The other thing I see is that some practice skills such as this incorrectly. It is very important to develop these skills correctly. It is also extremely difficult to correct and re-train incorrect procedures if someone has developed and practiced them incorrectly. And I very often see people doing things that are far more likely in resulting in a self-inflicted gunshot wound that being shot by an assailant. It has been fun to watch John Correia's progression in the training world the last 3-4 years. I was very familiar with his work before his presentation at an event Tom Givens put on for graduates from his RangeMaster instructor courses a couple of years ago. With each observation point, he presented a few examples on video. Great stuff from an awareness aspect and it gives several clues on what to focus on. I'm not saying any one part needs to be left out, but it makes it pretty clear on what skills to work on 80% plus and what to apply less work into. Getting the first shot in and on target very high on the list. Not just one shot, but multiple shots to ensure the threat to your life is mitigated. I can also assure you that your assailant is not going to stand there. This can make target transitions very important. In some limited cases because of multiple assailants, but more often of your single assailant moving. I'll post John's entire results in bit. [/QUOTE]
