- The Tueller Drill is a self-defense training exercise first created by Dennis Tueller and made popular by his article, “How Close Is Too Close,” first published in SWAT magazine in 1983.
Brought to you by Personal Protection Academy (www.the-ppa.com), providing quality firearms training in the Inland Empire in Temecula Valley. 
The Tueller Drill was created and tested in warm weather wearing light clothing in full daylight, with professionals who knew in advance that they would be attacked by a person with a weapon.
Test subjects were mentally prepared, focused on the known attacker - as opposed to someone who was surprised and distracted.
Most attacks are "unannounced" .. in poor lighting .. the attacker's weapon is often concealed and the victim's concealed carry weapon is holstered under layers of clothing.
Most people would be lucky to even draw their weapon in 1.5 seconds during a surprise attack, let alone fire two accurate shots before being knifed or clubbed.
And then you have to factor in those who are afraid to carry with one in the chamber. They have to rack the weapon before being able to fire the first shot.
I’ve never understood why nearly everyone insist on drawing their gun…I guess most people need to aim, but really, at 10 feet?? 😮I would never want to fire on any person, and the only way I would ever do so is if I felt that my own life was at risk (or another innocent person), so I would imagine that most revolver defense would be at close range. I would simply raise enough to get the barrel pointed at them or, with my hip holser, raise my leg, point it at the danger.
I understand that most people draw, aim, and fire, but I started hunting when I was 4 yrs old. I dont even aim a pistol 90% of the time. I only consistently aim with rifles, not even shotguns; I have instinctual muscle memory after so many years.
I think your recommendation of practice is the key point to be learned here. The more you learn, the more you will be prepared, and the more cognizant you will be of your own capabilities and limitations.
In this video, I would have simply twisted that holster to point the barrel end at the danger and that would have been that. I woudnt have even bothered drawing the weapon. No need to draw in this case; every step that person comes closer is increasing the probability of his demise.
Good guy needs to learn to step back and draw.!!!!
Another thought, the only way to guarantee an immediate stop using a handgun is to strike the central nervous system. That means even if multiple shots hit vital organs you can still be hit or cut by a running attacker. I'd consider moving on a diagonal away creating distance and changing the angle of attack, while engaging the threat.
Also worth a mention, once the attacker is hit n past you falling down, stop shooting as they are no longer a threat.
Something about the difference between a duel and an assault, maybe? Oh, and your neighbors aren’t thrilled either.

An average person CAN NOT draw and put two shots on target in 1.5 seconds... At all...
I think they meant average for ppl that carry
Agreed. That would require a 1.25 sec draw to first shot with a .25 sec split, times that even the average person with some training would find challenging. Take home message for me is having situational awareness and always trying to maintain an adequate perimeter in which to react.
I’m around .2 if I am on the competition line, but Bad Bob makes everyone look slow. I would likely run from a danger if I could first, and only shoot if I truly had to shoot. Just because someone is a bad person today doesnt mean they wont change and be a good person someday. I would hate to have to kill a person; when you kill, you take away not only all they are, but all they ever could be too. That would bother me, unless I tried EVERYTHING I could think of beforehand, so I would probably try to run , if I could. As far as the time required to draw and shot, I dont think that would be much of an issue, especially if I had added distance via running and had told them several times to stop or I would be forced to defend myself with lethal force. If they pursued me, then I would seemingly have ample justification for my actions, both in my head and in a court. ;)
Another reason I always carry outside waistband. Speeds up draw time drastically when you don’t have to lift up your shirt and can just reach to your side and pull. I can draw, aim and get a shot on center of mass in less than 1.5 seconds
So someone that does enough training and learns enough muscle memory they could shoot the target faster?
Definitely. Check out some Jim zubiana Mozambique drill.
Granted he was a competitive shooter but the point stands.
Absolutely! Five minutes of dry fire a day will improve accuracy and speed more than you think. Start slow and only go as fast as you can without a mistake. Create scenarios. Make it fun. Off hand, slap and rack, from cover, from the ground, concealed versus open carry. Do that a few days and then go try live fire drills. You’ll be amazed. I know I was once I committed to it. And it’s far cheaper than bullets since they are priced by the same guy who prices eggs these days.
