On 10/12/07 I had the opportunity of spending the morning with the Super Moderator for some one on one handgun training.As far as handguns go I practice 400-500 rounds weekly. Before taking this training I felt pretty well rounded with my skills and abilities.Once on location with "Brownie" he told me that, "Shooting is the easiest thing in the world, but people make it way too complicated."

From there he showed me 12 fundamental building blocks necessary for staying alive in a handgun confrontation with single or multiple aggressors.The concepts that "Brownie" demonstrated are as follows, elbow up/elbow down, quick kill hipp, zipper, bump, compressed ready to extended, behind the back, quick kill 1 and 2 handed, sprint hits left and right, enhanced peripheral vision, 2 guns 2 targets, laterals running at 12 foot, and quick kill distance.

Without going into "Trade Secret" let's just say, whatever you think you know, or whatever, other training you have experienced, "IT'S FLAWED." After 3 hours of "Brownie's" direction and 500 rounds downrange I was hitting like a contract killer, a professional, a highly trained operative. I expressed to "Brownie" before we began training today, I wanted to earn every concept taught, and execute them correctly. So "Brownie taped over the front sight of my HK. In a nutshell I shot all morning without looking at my gun or my sights. The end result according to "Brownie" is that I hit 85% to 90%.

As impressive as all of the techniques are to execute, and the results achieved if done correctly, the highlight was when I executed the quick kill distance technique. No B.S. without using sights, from out of the holster at 50 feet, 1 shot, no hesitation, 1.5 seconds later the steel silhouette reported a center mass hit.

The only regret on the ride home was how many thousands of rounds of ammunition that I have wasted until today with incorrect training. With that said my only advise to other shooters is to take the training, because when it comes to a life or death situation in gun to gun battle if you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail. "Brownie" is a professional, he posesses true trade craft in every thing he teaches, besides being my instructor, he is my friend.

Christian,

It was a lot of fun to go to the desert and gunning some with you this morning.

I edited your post to create paragraphs so it was easier to read for everyone. By the way, welcome to the forum.

You were able to run the gun well when we started, I don't think your time was wasted in the past at all. In fact, your previous trigger time brought you to where we could advance quickly through the skills without spending the time on such things as trigger control, handhold and those types of skills.

Stay sharp, see you on Sunday, and we'll plan to get back out to the desert again in the future.

Thanks for your thoughts on the value of what you were shown this morning.
