00:00 What is the 21 Foot Rule
00:40 1st Scenario - Baseline
02:00 2nd Scenario - Standing With Cell Phone
03:30 3rd Scenario - Chambered vs Not Chambered
04:26 4th Scenario - Prepping The Draw
The 21-foot rule, also known as the Tueller Drill, is a self-defense principle that has become particularly significant in the context of carrying concealed firearms. It originates from a study by Salt Lake City Police Department Lieutenant Dennis Tueller in the 1980s. The rule highlights a critical distance-21 feet-within which an attacker armed with a knife or similar weapon could potentially reach and harm a person before they can draw and effectively use a firearm in self-defense.
The rule was established based on experiments that determined an average healthy adult could cover a distance of 21 feet in about 1.5 seconds. This time frame is often shorter than the time it takes for someone to recognize a threat, decide to act, draw a firearm from concealment, and then accurately engage the target. The 21-foot rule underscores the need for awareness and preparedness among individuals who carry firearms for self-defense.
Incorporating the principles of the 21-foot rule into self-defense training can enhance an individual's readiness and ability to defend themselves in a real-world confrontation. Training should focus on quick draw techniques, accurate shooting under pressure, and awareness of one's surroundings to better judge distances and react appropriately to imminent threats.
Understanding the 21-foot rule is crucial for anyone who carries a concealed firearm for self-defense. It highlights the necessity of maintaining a high level of preparedness, continuous training, and situational awareness to ensure one can respond effectively to threats within critical distances.

Thank you for the reminder to NOT stand still! Great info!
Absolutely!
I hope we see more of these gentlemen.
You definitely will! Thank you for your support!
Someone once told me that if someone is coming at me with a weapon, back up and you're drawing my gun because it takes almost no time for someone to close the distance.
You've got a knack for this, loving your content!
Great information. Thanks.
Great to know training with dropping what's in my hand or if holding something & moving off X are solid from you guys
Great help, thank you
You are very welcome! We are happy to hear you found it helpful!
Thanks Great information and excellent demonstrations.
Thank you for your support!
thanks!
Awesome demonstration 🙌🙌🙌🙌👍🏻
Thank you for your support!
Anytime I see a USCCA video by MIke and friends I know I'm getting useful information instead of being one of the clickbait-y videos that are becoming sadly more common.
Conceal and Carry on!
Thank you!
thank you!
Awesome and very informative video! Thanks for touching on people who don’t carry one in the chamber, always better to be armed then unarmed regardless of it’s hot.
Thank you for your support!
Great tips!
Thank you for your support!
It's not just about having a firearm, but being aware of your surroundings and having the skills to respond swiftly to potential threats.
Great Tactics!
I liked this video. It was very informative.
Thank you for your support! We are happy to hear you found it helpful!
Excellent video. Too many don't respect the 21 foot rule!!
Officer Jonah Hernandez could have applied some of these principles. He got too close to his attacker to draw.
Best bet was to move laterally at the distance he was at.
Amazing lessons
Thank you for your support! We are glad to see you found it helpful!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Any takeaways from this that you will add to your regular training?
Will start to prepare myself before an attack occurs depending on what I see happening
Love to hear that! Have you been able to get to the range recently to work on any of these skills?
I appreciate these videos. This is good stuff. Just commenting Zach is obviously well trained. It is worth noting that Zach is well-prepped for the drill, and no assessment is being made of any threat; he knows the threat is there. In real life, no one will have the kind of reaction as the assessment hasn't been made, unlike demonstrated here. Zach is so smooth and fast; it makes me think I can do it that fast.
When he moves off the X and circles, good idea! Maybe comment Zach should be assessing his background before firing shots. In this training scenario threat assessment isn’t really the point. I get it, however, having a more robotic response, as it comes across in the video, could be problematic in the Legal use of force. Overall, it is good demonstration of action vs reaction
Thank you
My preferred distance to an adversary is 300 meters. If the distance is less than that, make sure you have someone around you that can be pushed between you and the idiot. Preferably a Mother-In-Law or an X.
This is an awesome video thank you. I noticed in scenario #1 that the shooter circled towards his left (towards strong hand of knife). It might be better for shooter to circle to his right (weak hand of knife wielder). This may reduce likelihood of shooter getting cut as it is much harder for knife person to adjust to off hand attack when knife is in strong right hand, especially at speed.
He did it the way I was originally trained. A right hander circling right forces himself to shoot slightly cross-body. You're trying to square up as you go, but I was taught it still makes a difference. Ideally, it's probably better to train both ways, and shooting both left and right handed.
Solid 💯
Great video
Thank you for your support! We are happy to hear you enjoyed it!
There is some really good training information here about creating space and the lateral / circular movements and controlled fire, but The Tueller Drill is not a rule. "The distance you should be when there is a threat infront of you" is not a hard "rule" for engagement.

Most people are right handed...Circling the Wrong Way! Putting your head/neck closer to their weapon than the other side where if they were still attacking and redirecting they would be crossing their centerline and your left arm would be able to fend block it better @USCCA Also, you should be treating contacts with a 30 foot rule, not 21.
I mean you definitely "can" , but you will wanna do it right. This is also precisely what a revolver is intended for btw. Although tbh if they are armed with anything less than a gun then taking their weapon is alot more practical than pulling your gun at close range. However pulling the gun could also potentially prevent you from actually having to kill the person. In an empty handed situation you will in all likelihood have to do just that or at least come really close to sufficiently stop them. Theres at least a 50/50 chance pulling the gun alone will cause them to stop
Good video.
Glad you liked it!
This is a great test and demo of the drill. The unfortunate thing is that people in general don't train at this due to either not having the right location that will allow it or the proper instructor that is not the Detroit guy who can teach this without b.s . I like how you emphasized that you have to move out of the way and other small nuances you mentioned, like the cellphone.
But she's running away from him, while he is shooting.
@@timfoote2874 and what's the problem with that?
Not yet, but at home, ie, circling while dry firing, as in this video
Why did USCCA blocked the comment section with Tim Kennedy?
I wouldn’t recommend extending your off hand in front of the gun while firing. Personal preference. There are better techniques.
Our Krav Maga trainer has us exercises of this sort of attack (knife attacker from 21 foot) and we found that you can draw your gun and shoot consistently IF you drew your pistol and shot properly (and you needed to be well practiced) and you had one i the chamber, but barely. But it might not stop them (this part was shown, we weren't using ammo, obviously.
Right handed attacker, circle right or left, left handed attacker circle left or right? Or is this a moot point? Good video.
Not a dramatic difference either way.
@@defensestrategiesgroup Thanks! God willing I'll Never have to draw my CC.
The New Mexico incident
Prepping is great to know about because that means I'm not brandishing! I didn't know about this practice. It could also be a deterrent to some (MAYBE some) attackers if they see you prepping. Regardless, it saves me time, and let's the attacker know something is about to happen.
Damn give Angel a chance man. 😂😂😂
This is wrong, the camera man always comes out safe in every situation, just keep recording and you're good.
In the 2nd senecio extending the off arm like that will cause people to shoot themselves in the arm. If going one handed your off arm should be tucked into your body.
The phone is a weapon, either for or against the attacker. Three levels, first and second for the attacker; holding the phone or dropping the phone. Third for the defender by throwing the phone at the attacker’s head.
Angel's a pinata!
All of a sudden this is the self protection topic of the month. Ever since the Los cruces officer was killed. Use and keep distance. Distance buys time and time buys chocies
Should lefthanded defendant circle right? Zack keeps going left.
Everyone I talked to there afraid to carry chambered because of the holsters I do carry chambered but what do you recommend
Chambered
Too many quality holsters to be afraid. They just don't want to do their homework on holsters.
Always chambered.
All these are great to show someone who is trained body cocked and ready, opposed to average citizens who are not pros
As citizens who carry it is our responsibility to be trained as well. It definitely takes time and effort but again that is our responsibility when we choose to carry a firearm everyday. Thankfully drawing from concealment can even be practiced at home and worked into dry fire training.
At 0:59 did Zack see the sights, or did he point shoot?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
At that range, probably point shoot
@@defensestrategiesgroup Thank you for the reply, I agree.
Appendix carry always
You’ll have a slower reaction because you’re not expecting the attack.
He should have gone to his right further from the knife hand all the rest was great
That's what safety's for. Why would you not have one ready to go?
Why can't Angel just adjust his route towards Zach And wouldn't moving right shorten angels reach as he would have to reach across his body. 90% of people are right handed so you would be right 90% of the time. 🤷🏼♂️
Tueller principle?
Can I also throw my phone at the attacker for an extra hit, or daze?
It looks like you had a leak on the ceiling at the back wall and now the drywall is all droopy
You are paying attention to very different details
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes I can, because we trained for this before we were deployed to Iraq for OIF/OEF.
I practice just clearing the holster, tac, tac center mass without raising the weapon higher than my midsection (above my appendix holster).
Thanks
I would have to say no in most cases the confrontation is going to happen much closer quarters than 21 ft. And almost nobody does what he says many times...TRAIN..
who trains for this?
The concern I have is the person who is so trained, or "triggered" that he reacts this fast in a situation where the other person is merely approaching to ask for directons.
@@daffidavit not many people run at you with a knife to ask for directions. Training makes you less likely to be "triggered", because you're maintaining situational awareness, so you're much less likely to be surprised.
Your obviously not very big gun person. Open google maps, type in "range training". Thank me later lol. You prob got 3 places doing this exact stuff right down the road from you.
@@Shaggidelic69 thanks for the attempted insult. You have no idea how I train or how often. Just pointing out how you need to prepare for more than a 21 ft. encounter. Most take place much closer and being able to react to that is more difficult to train for. Anyone can go to a range .
@@abenwilliams5414 you obviously dont work around threats. This is the main training for a swat officer. Some people who arent officers at all just want to be as good. The 21 ft rule is always applicable if you know how to handle high stress situations. Keep distance, if they walk towards you keep giving command and BACKING UP TOKEEP DISTANCE. And if you can keep them from getting within 15 feet of you your ok, if they charge, thats their life. The only time iveever drawn my gun was in a time like this. Someone at walmart had a machette and started running and me, i pulled my gun and they threw the blade and fell on the ground and started crying. I was about to shoot, but by the time my gun was aimed at him he didn't have the blade no more so i held my fire. I called the cops and apparently he had ran away from the state asylum.
I can do it at 10 ft, cause I aint stupid enough to just stand there while an armed attacker is charging me. I'm aware of the footing and my surroundings at all times. I'll jump back 4 ft as I draw and step back another 2 ft as I raise the gun to fire. This gives me another 1/2 second, in which can shoot you 3 more time.
You’re awesome
No, I couldn’t. I have no artistic ability sadly
73rd, 6 April 2024
Good video but I though you were suppose to stop shooting when they had their back to you.
I believe in cases of proven self-defense, you can continue to shoot until the threat is neutralized. I'm an ex LEO, but I retired a long time ago.
@@k.popper2620 They did a thing like this on a different channel and a lawyer said if they are shot in the back that is viewed as excessive force. I don't know. In the end it will be up to a jury.
Shoes exist.
Its better to not wear shoes on those training mats. Extends the life and keeps it level instead of holding an indentation. But its ok. Theres always people who have no clue about guns trying to learn more. All for it bro.
I carry a single action revolver that has an 8" barrel in a shoulder holster that I can out draw people who use tactical half holsters on their hip so yeah between 21-5 feet their talking to God or a paramedic and between 4-0 feet I have other options like stepping aside or stepping away while draining my firearm
First comment was before watching the video
This comment in response to the mention of "unless you get them in the face your not going to stop their movements"
Well stop carrying the tiny 9mm then and use something effective
Next comment in regards to a $1500 cellphone I'm typing away on a $40 phone with a hard case and screen protector if you have and are using a $1500 phone your stupid and it's likely why you're being targeted
No. Uniformed police officers couldn't do that with duty weapons strapped to their hips, in open-top holsters. From concealed carry?? Forget it! Next question!
Do you mind clarifying what you are referring to?
You guys are actors, also who uses universal 21foot when initiating attacks.Don’t say universal say American.
WTAF are you talking about?
All this "teaching" and they're appendix carrying... LOL
Appendix carry is one of the most popular locations for concealed carry. Do you mind clarifying what you mean?
Most people teach what they practice daily. Kind of how it should be.
But Zack was still mentally prepared for the situation as a normal person would have no chance, unless they knew last minute defense first, “to me just saying”
Correct. The point is to show how fast these situations can happen so you must train AND be vigilant.
@@defensestrategiesgroup Ok I’ll subscribe and watch more of your videos to learn more of whom you are. Sry that I was so quick to judge things differently shame on me! Thanks for your time and sharing your content! Looking forward to seeing you 👍
Thank you!
The lighting in this video is horrible!
If you don't think this is important look up what happened to Patrol Officer Jonah Hernandez.
