After 20 years of firearms training through the U.S military Army, the USMC and civilian law enforcement I finaly learned something that can be deployed as a life saving measure using a sidearm in the blink of an eye.
Ive been going to AJI a sporting goods/gun store in Apache Junction, AZ. for several years now. Several months ago I met a guy who works there part time, for the fun of it and so he can get guns at a discount price. He goes by the name of Brownie or the AZ Quick Kill Master. (Just kidding everybody calls him Brownie.) After several times of talking with Brownie, I not only decided he was a cocky SOB, but that he was also very well versed in several areas. Firearm recognition, trouble shooting, overall firearm and Training with a Capital T. It didnt hurt that he too was another Jarhead.
I decided to take a class from Brownie on quick kill technique. We did this class In Flagstaff, AZ. July 2007. I can say it was the best training without a doubt that I have ever taken. He not only showed us these tecniques in an outdoor area where we could spread out, but he also has the motto of (NO ONE LEFT BEHIND); for two days we learned techniques, that when using our handguns from a holstered position was easy to grasp, easily repeatable, and he has easy names for evry one of these, techniques so as he he is teaching it they are easy to remember when he calls out a command to deploy and tells you what to do. (These names are such as the BUMP, Elbow up Elbow Down and the Quick Kill.) Best of all, these techniques require no sight aquisition on the gun at all. This is what makes them so fast and a lifesaver.
These skills also included running in multiple directions while shooting in multiple directions from strong side and weak, speed shooting for crowd control/coverage, shooting a target behind you without tuirning around, multiple target aquisition with speed and many others. Again I say all without using a sight on the gun and that was just the 1st day. The 2nd day we did force on force learning techniques of disarming the (person/scumbag/threat) and applying the techniques from the day before so we could get use to getting the upperhand by firing the 1st shots. Yes I said shots! Meaning it is so fast you can get multiples downrange accuratly before your opponent can even draw.
In closing I would like to say this is better then any modern technique I have ever learned such as front sight only shooting or any other point of aim technique.
Brownie thank you so much for this training. I am confident this training if i have a need to deploy it will someday save my life or that of someone with me and in this day and age that is a real possibility.
Thanks,
