    Hi Matt, sorry i had to leave, had an appointment. Concerning weapons carry, with my experience as an LEO, it helped me make the decision on what firearm is best for me and how to carry it. My sidearm is a: S&W Model 66 .357 Mag. 2.5 inch barrel. I realize the majority of most gun owners carry semi auto pistols, and i did too on the force, but now a revolver serves me best; in accuracy, power, simplicity and retention. I conceal carry cross draw, outside the waist band, in the 10 oclock position. If i am not wearing a jacket, then under a loose fitting shirt. Many believe this is the worst position for retention, but i believe it is actually the strongest, for the following reasons. It is easier to prevent someone from seizing the weapon, by gripping it with the non firearm (same side) hand, pushing it into the holster with more strength than trying to retain it on the strong side carry. It also allows me to attack with my strong side. If i were to be knocked to the ground, the gun is easier to retain, by curling up on it, keeping the weapon side down. In a strong side same situation, if the firearm is not next to the ground, access by grabbing the grip is more probable. I also carry a small fixed blade knife concealed on the opposite side of my body if it should be needed to aid in retention of my revolver. If a person is carrying strong side, and attacked from the rear being the weapon is easier seen, as the attacker grabs the weapon he also wraps his opposite arm around the victim's neck, this is a very dangerous situation. As the victim is trying to retain the weapon with one hand, he may be choked into unconsciousness, being he probably won't be able to pull himself free with just one hand. Or he uses both of his hands, to try to free himself while the attacker is choking him, and goes into panic mode. The attacker now has easier access to the firearm, especially if it is an open holster with no retention system. The cross draw system also allows the easiest and fastest access to the weapon for me while operating a vehicle. Finally, i believe the best carry weapons system has to be determined by the individual. It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to work. Take care. Doug.

    • @stevenscott2136
      @stevenscott2136 2 года назад +1

      Also, if you stand in a typical "boxer stance", your draw will immediately pull the weapon toward the standard retention position and away from the enemy. I've seen a lot of people whose draw from strong-side rapidly degrades into a sloppy arc when they're under any pressure -- your way seems like it would be less prone to that.

      @dougboal7620 2 года назад +1

      @@stevenscott2136 Hi Steven, thanks for your reply. One thing i didn't mention in my first reply, is the manner on how i train to draw my sidearm in the Cross Draw position. If i am facing a possible altercation , i stand in the Weaver type stance or as i call the "Doc Holiday" version, as used in the shoot out scene with Johnny Ringo in the movie "Tombstone". I prefer this stance, not just for the speed attained in drawing the weapon, but the mobility of the body. Stay safe. Doug.

      If I'm revolver carrying, I like the little Model 642 revolvers. I lose a great deal of power going to .38 Special, but I still think that it would do the job most of the time.

    • @dougboal7620
      @dougboal7620 2 года назад +1

      @@VTPSTTU Hi VTP. The 642 is a great gun, especially since it is so concealable and no trigger to snag on clothing. I chose the Model 66 because i carried one off duty for years before switching to a semi auto.
      When carrying the revolver i always shot in the hi 90's, but switching to the semi, i could never go higher than the mid 80's. I attribute that to muscle memory of years of carrying S&W revolvers on the PD. Have a good day. Doug.

    • @VTPSTTU
      @VTPSTTU 2 года назад

      @@dougboal7620 For a long time, I believed in guns, but I never had one. Friends had tried to teach me to shoot from time to time, and all of those efforts were disasters. I just couldn't hit anything. In 1992, I took a class. I was still pretty discouraged, but the Los Angeles riots had me concerned about safety.
      The class was taught through adult education but was really taught by a local police department. Their advice was to start with a .357 Magnum revolver from Ruger, S&W, or Colt. They suggested a four-inch barrel. They said that within the S&W line, the Model 66 was likely all that any of us would need because we weren't likely to shoot so many rounds that the smaller K frame would develop fatigue. For those who wanted to step up to a little more durability, the Model 686's L frame was some advantage. I was caught between the 686 or a Ruger GP100. Either way, I was going up to the six-inch barrel because the longer barrel made shooting more fun. I ended up deciding on the Ruger because it had the better reputation for durability.
      When I thought that I might get to carry concealed someday, I bought the 642. At first, I hated it. About sixty rounds into shooting, I'd rubbed a cut onto my trigger finger and was getting blood all over the trigger and trigger guard. The guys at the range suggested that I might do better with a Tyler T-grip. I lived in Oklahoma City at the time, so I could buy the T-grip directly from Mr. Tyler. I've heard that his family has turned the company into a scam now, but other people are making the sake product legitimately. When I installed the T-grip, everything changed and the 642 was fine.
      I can see where the Model 66 in a 2.5 or 3.0 inch barrel would be a great carry gun. I would probably want a lower profile hammer, but that would be easy enough to get.

    Just to be obsessive-compulsive (which I am) the proper term is venomous snake not poisonous snake.
    I carry most of the time. Two intruders broke into my home in 2018. They came in the front and the back. If they'd just pushed forward more quickly, they would have killed me. As it was, I howled when I realized that they were there, and that startled them. I'm sure that they thought that I was already armed. Since that time, I've carried pretty constantly, even at home in my recliner.
    I don't believe that weapon retention should be a big issue at home. I believe in a layered defense that should provide me with good warning of intruders. I didn't have that system that night, but I now have motion detectors around the house. I have motion lights outside. If I had good enough internet to support a Ring doorbell or similar device, I'd have that as well. When people can set up their homes for proper warning, they should generally be able to put themselves into a position where they are shooting an invader from well beyond arm's reach. I've had a few false alarms on my motion detectors, and I've searched the house a few times. If I were doing that and saw something that really made me think someone was there, I'd back away and call 9-1-1.
    In the street, I agree that weapons retention is important. I just don't have the money or the stamina to take a course and train in weapons retention on a regular basis. I'd like to find a course for people with disabilities. I practice drawing and shooting a bit. I'm usually carrying my cane in my non-dominant hand. If I'm attacked, I'm going to try to use the cane thrust and maybe strike technique to keep the attacker at bay long enough to draw a firearm if necessary.
    Realistically, I don't expect to survive very often if I let the person get to arm's length before drawing and firing. My carry gun isn't big enough to grab from both ends that way. If I'm not carrying my cane, I need to be able to do enough with the non-dominant hand to give myself a little room. I would probably go for an eye gouge with the non-dominant hand to get the attacker's hands away from me. I would then shoot for the lower torso with my gun hand close to my body.
    I carry because I can imagine situations where that option could save me. I also realize that carrying won't save me from every situation. All of us can't get the kind of training that we'd like to have, and even then, we won't win every fight that comes to that kind of close fight.

    Matt, you are teaching some pretty good stuff. If you are unfamiliar with Carl Cestari and his instruction videos. There are many on RUclips Carl passed away a few years ago much too young …complications from diabetes and cancer. He was the best and most knowledgeable man about practical use of combative methods ever. I was fortunate enough to get to know Carl a little bit. Watch his videos you will be impressed. I also just heard you mention Tim Larkin, I worked with Tim when he was still with Jerry Peterson I liked Tim then and I like him now. I will spend some time watching your videos. Get Tim to show you how to do tgat shoulder attack I mentioned against a swinging implement.

  • @glenmo1

    One thing not taught by most pistol instructors is the crumpled isosceles stance.. this is for extreme close quarters self-defense when the perpetrator is close to you.. start out with your standard isosceles then bring the pistol /revolver back with your wrist touching your chest and your elbows bent you are now looking over the top of the barrel not using the sights... As the threat moves farther away you can transition back to the regular isosceles stance... This works great for small pistols and revolvers.. I originally started out in the early 90s with the isosceles stance then sometime in the late '90s transition to using the Weaver stance but in the last 20 years I switch back to the isosceles stance and that's what I practice with and use to this day including the crumpled isosceles stance.

    I only carry in certain places at certain times. I try my best to avoid situations/areas that would warrant me to carry. I work nights. If I have to get out of my truck on the way home for gas or something else, I’m carrying. I’m older, I would always pull back if I could. As a member of a gun club I go to the range as much as I can which is never enough. I go through a lot more than 500 rounds a year.
