HCS Pistol Bullet Points
I came across this in my binder today and realized I had not published this. I think it speaks for itself, but as we cover the associated drills in the coming months it may help you visualize the drill itself. Train how you Live, same clothes, same gear, same gun. Don’t go to the range…
