Close Quarter Gunfighting Typical gunfights happen in distances measured in feet, not yards. It can easily end up being a fistfight as much as a gunfight. Traditional range training does not prepare you for this reality. The Doru Training Group CQG course is a 1 day training class designed to...

Whenever you strike, it is important that you get all of your weight into it. This makes strength a lot less of a factor. If you are targeting a vulnerable area of their anatomy and driving all of your weight through it, that gives you the best chance of causing an injury, even if you are a...

This post and the following are going to be about what training methods and/or technologies are best suited for a particular skill or attribute. Contrary to popular belief and a whole bunch of institutional inertia…live-fire isn’t always the best, and is sometimes the worst, method to use for...

Last month I posted about 2 top takeaways I observed from the students at the FoF course I taught. There was a 3rd standout observation, but it didn't fit with the other two and I didn't want it to distract from those. The 3rd takeaway was to make good use of force decisions. A lot of students...

Hi Everyone, I conducted my first Force on Force training course last week and wanted to share a couple things I noticed. #1 Takeway-Scan!!!!! Make sure you are training to scan 360 deg. I'm not talking about the going through the motions range-ism Owl impression. I'm talking about actually...

I've been posting about the importance of FoF training here for a while and it always frustrated me that it wasn't very available to the vast majority of gun owners. Though this 1-day course only makes sense if you are within a reasonable driving distance, at least it is another option! Close...

For the 1st time in almost 20 years of carry, I grabbed the gun from the multi-vault to holster it and it had a round chambered but no magazine inserted! At the Gunsite 250 course we were taught to always press check the chamber, then drop the magazine and check to see it's fully loaded. (I've...

RetiredUSNChief brought up some great questions at the demise of the "Why People Don't Go to Gun School Thread” and they were a drift to that topic anyway, but I think great questions to think about. Assuming someone wants to get defensive firearms training, how much would be the minimum? Do...

I just got the 10.5" barrel and AAC Blackout FH this week. It handles great now.

Good evening fellow THR members, I’m looking to start weekly training sessions and have run plumb out of training partners in this area. I’m not real comfortable tooting my horn, but I realized long ago if you offer something for free, people aren’t interested and/or waste your time...

I think THR has been a bad influence with all this "Molon Labe" stuff, you'll have me smoking next! -kidding ;) I thought about this for about 7 months and it means more to me than just RKBA, it pays homage to the Spartan warriors at Thermoplyae, upholds the ideal of fighting for freedom no...

There has been a lot of discussion recently on less lethal methods and how to handle situations unarmed. I figured I'd post a long boring article (just kidding I hope:uhoh: ) I whipped up on how to get the most out of some of the excellent H2H and firearm instruction that is available on video...

Went to range today, zero'd some M4's, did some 5-15 meter CQC shooting with M4 and M9. Invited the Germans to come play and let them shoot our M4, M9, M240 and M203 with training rounds. At the end, I got to put a mag through the G36. The G36 is a very nice weapon. It felt lighter than...

There is an ad in this month's American Rifleman for a new, California legal (Ronnie Barrett rocks) rifle in 416 Barrett caliber. "Shoots flatter, faster and is inherently more accurate than even our own .50BMG rifles." I went to Barretts' site www.barrettrifles.com and they don't have any...

Almost bought a Remington R3 (same as "limb saver?")recoil pad for my synthetic 870 today, but the package was missing a screw (whew, saved me from an impulse buy.) I've heard the R3 is good...is Pachmeyer better? Or any other? I'd like to stay in the ~$30 or so price range. I'm not...

Hey guys I noticed there are a few Oregonians here! I'm lookin' for a new gunshop to take my business to, preferably on the West side of PDX any recommendations? Criteria: friendly, knowledgeable, decent selection of toys and competence in basic gunsmithing chores. I used to go to one in...
