Drills

Everyone has his own ideas and solutions. I taught blind Son to protect himself using a soft air P89 replica and an 8" diameter target that beeped until a hit changed the sound to a buzzer. At 10-15 feet, he hit the target far more times than missed.
I'm sure I have zero credentials as a CQB 'trainer' but I sure as heck accomplished my goal. Spatial awareness is vital in a full dark environment. If you don't have that, you'd better use a light.
 
I regularly practice point and shoot Mozambique drills, including dropping the mag and reloading, all without ever taking my eyes off of the target. Furthest distance I would ever have to shoot in my house is 7 yards, I practice at 10. The only thing I cannot practice at my current range options is draw and fire.

Guess you have a bunch of pliers, screw drivers, and tape measures?

And just in case there was any doubt.... products labeled "Made in USA with Global Materials," are sent 95% complete and all they have to do is add the label and the battery.
 
Merger or buyout? Which time? There were many...anything mid 70s and after was MS...then IN....they were a pin ball for a bit until going overseas with TTI in Hong Kong.

My guess he will say he has Milwaukee tools issued to USN pre WWII

I've known a few Reps.......prosecuted a few of their folks.....;)
 
Well, I've displayed my Dan Wesson revolvers. Needed to do a lot of drills to familiarize with the crane latch while using a speed loader vice the S&W latch. Took different hand positioning since the left hand released the yolk. I believe my newest Milwaukee Corded Drill is the 75 Year Anniversary Edition. Couldn't resist the offer since I worked for the Big Orange Box back then. Guess I'm not much for getting rid of tools that due the job? Or perhaps I'm just an Old Miser? 🤔 Yet you knew about the Dan Wesson speed loading differences?

Yup, way way back before Illinois Law Enforcement issued in the S&W Model 39 Semiautomatic, LEO's were armed with revolvers. One of the reasons why Dan Wesson didn't make a big inroad into Law Enforcement sales was the cost to change the training courses to accommodate the difference in reloading from most other revolvers at that time. Just a little ancient history. Google it! 👍
 
Think it was about doing drills to familiarize yourself with the firearm your currently carrying? Now the drills required to familiarize myself with the Beretta 951 carried by most nations in the kitty liter box countries, that was some serious retraining. Cross bolt safety and a mag release at the bottom of the grip.

Here we go....stand by folks....get your drinks and snacks and sit back....he will only be appearing for so long before being committed so get your fill now..... :LOL:
Lord only knows where he will spin this....maybe 007 type days..:rolleyes:
 
The the Blow back Beretta used in the First movies or the Walther used in the later movies. Which bye the way started as a .32 Walther. I've got to quit talking to my phone, auto mis correct wanted to spell Walther Walter. But yes training drills to familiarize oneself with the operational use did need to be performed. So I think Joe's reference to performing drills may be more relevant than you wish to admit. Then again, if you only own and use one firearm ( like just using a 5 iron in golf) doing drills for familiarity probably gets pretty boring pretty quickly? JMHO.

BTW, I believe that the current venicular is Get Your Popcorn? But I do believe that you like most others are not versed in speed loading a Dan Wesson or operating a Beretta 1951? But I may be incorrect? Yet you must realize that either of those firearms posted will require familiarity drills to operate under distress? I think that was the OP's general question back in post #1? But only Joe can answer that. JMHO YMMV.

Edit PS. There is a small difference in the cyclic rate of the 951R and the 1951 just for information purposes. 🤔

WOW. What was this thread about? Plus, I need no lesson on the M39 to me or my personally owned.

You may want to Google a diagnosis......

The S&W M39 that Uncle Sam let me play with was more like the Model 59. Perhaps a little research is in order. But Gunporn, that's always welcomed.

Speaking of these cordless battery powered drills... does anyone else catch themselves walking with one and realize they are keeping their finger off the trigger?.... you should, it should be just natural to carry one that way since it should be the same with your handgun and long gun.

Drilling with drills that drill?....I'm sure someone here drills by closing their eyes while inserting the bit into the chuck over and over.... just incase a speed insert is needed....you can never drill too much when drilling to drill with your drill......especially your EDD.....Every Day Drill. Always be prepared for an actual drilling by drilling effectively.
 
Now that's a drill. LOL
Just wondering if anyone else has had to change the drills they practice due to the loss of dexterity that comes with age? Example. I can still use my right thumb to disengage the extended manual safety on a full sized 1911, but on the much smaller Hellcat I've currently changed to using my left (offhand) thumb to disengage the much smaller and harder to reach manual safety.
Ever since I messed up my shoulder I can't cc at the 3 O'clock position, so now that the draw comes from the 9 O clock position the offhand thumb naturally comes to bear on the small manual safety.
