Refer back to my previous post, marginal performance increases with a litney of drawbacks.
I doubt it weighs 8 lbs. The Desert Eagle weighs 4.4 lbs and it is literally a giant block of steel. There’s no way a CZ 75 weighs anywhere close.
Random thought, but am I the only person who pauses during a Mozambique drill? I was always taught the point was, two to the chest, quick pause to assess, and then 3rd round to the head if needed. However almost everyone I see doing them online just blasts out three shots as fast as possible, which to me seems a bit pointless. If you're doing it that way might as well just go for 3 to the head and have done with it.
Mozambique Drill was basically just a cool bar story that snowballed into cool looking Hollywood shit.
My gripe with the Glock grip angle is that I learned to shoot on pistols with more 1911-esque grip angles, and it throws me a little bit initially when I grab a Glock. It's not an issue if you learned on Glocks or if they're your primary platform. I imagine it goes the other way, too. If you primarily shoot Glocks, then try to pick up a 1911, you'll probably instinctively point low.
Flat range theatrics. Looks cool on video.
They do emphasize that their demonstration is for extremely close encounters in a CCW scenario. The problem is, shooting cardboard in a controlled environment is nothing like being in a CCW scenario. Lots of adrenaline involved, and almost nobody just stands in place. Even at very close range, getting headshots is rarely easy. If someone's carrying a caliber so anemic that its effectiveness essentially relies on headshots, they're really putting themselves at a disadvantage.
The issue with this is that most .380s are subcompact or microcompact pistols, so the reduced recoil is made up for by just not having enough gun to eat the recoil for you. Does anyone make a full-size .380? I know there are those Browning .380 1911s, but they're officer sized.
You’re supposed to just shoot until the threat is ended. I get the idea is to “assess” what you’re shooting, but honestly just let them eat rounds until they are no longer a threat. A lot of people will probably just develop poor shooting habits if they focus on 2 and look and shoot again. I know I used to have a problem with pulling the gun back to see how the holes on paper did instead of letting the gun settle and checking after the drill.
That's generally true, yeah. The Sig P365 in .380 that I shot a couple mags' worth of rounds through actually handled recoil pretty nice. Noticeably better than that little Ruger everyone mentions whenever the topic of .380 comes up. I've heard mixed testimonials about the P365-380's long-term reliability, though. That probably won't surprise anyone. I recall seeing a video on YouTube where a guy was complaining that although the gun worked fine whenever he shot it, it would experience FTEs every once in a while when his wife was shooting it, and she was supposed to be the one carrying it.
Interesting. Sounds like he could fix that with a lighter recoil spring.
Pretty much.
Oh yeah, in an actual shooting scenario I'm reverting to my army training, which as a machinegunner consists of the old maxim of "There Is Only Open Fire and Reload". I mostly use Mozambique's as a training drill, similar to shit like practicing off-hand etc. It's just my grandfather who taught me, was very much of the old school "If you're gonna do something, do it properly", which is why I wondered if anyone else did it the way it's actually described as supposed to be working.
I've always heard the two, pause, one referred to as a failure drill, and the two, one referred to as a Mozambique drill. That may just be me and my area, but that was the delineation I always heard. The way Mozambiques were explained to me was that the head moves around a lot, but two to the chest, even through a plate carrier, would at least make the guy flinch long enough to get a clean headshot.
Gay retard Dave Grossman promoted the thought that everyone and their dog is out to kill cops because they hand out speeding tickets and that they need to kill them first. The teachings of "Killology" was a solution that caused its own problem in gradually elevating the average criminal response to the police, so now it's infinitely more common to have cops anxiously bumpfiring at jaywalkers.
Its a training drill, you get out of it what you are testing and training for, it sounds like you are practicing accuracy + effects on target (did my shots have the desired effect? NO - shoot again somewhere more effective), pausing isn't a bad thing as such, maybe using an interactive target might be more appropriate for that, but try taking an empty matchbox or cigarette packet (or similar sized piece of paper), cutting in half and sticking to the heart and nose-brow areas of a typical target, any miss is 2 seconds. i found that a good way to practice speed + accuracy (and crush egos) with that drill.
Grossman is an apt name. He's such a fucking disappointment, too. As far as I know, "On Killing" was actually pretty good and reasonable. Then he decided to take a hard left turn straight off the deep end.
I doubt that. I think civil rights just made the problem more apparent.
