The Combat Realities of Trigger Reset

Posted on 15 February 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

Trigger reset is one of those skills, that if you were like me, when you learned it, it pretty much changed your level of accuracy instantly, especially with a pistol. I remember one of my trainers summarizing it for me: “Unlike a rifle, where the barrel is 16 to 20 inches or greater, most pistol…

Keeping Concealed Carry CONCEALED

Posted on 23 January 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

[youtube=http://youtu.be/rUzyy2CBx4I] First off, there is no way to frame this in which the so called “vigilante” (aka MORON who tackled the guy) is in the right here. If you feel so strongly as to go and tackle a perfect stranger (without any provocation), you could have just as easily called 911 and done your “duty”…

Running the Gauntlet

Posted on 13 January 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

Qualities of a Realistic CO “Shooting O-Course” The integration of a REALISTIC and PRACTICAL “Shooting O-Course” into the CO self-defense training program has been a long and arduous one. When they first appeared (in very crude form) at early IDPA matches some 30 odd years ago they were nothing more than timed Competition marksmanship drills,…

CO Terrorism Reality Check: Are You Ready?

Posted on 8 January 2015 by The Tactical Hermit

“Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimum food or water, in austere conditions, day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon. He doesn’t worry about what workout to do—his rucksack weighs what it weighs, and he runs until the enemy stops chasing him. The…

Posted on 12 December 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

“FINDING COVER MUST BE YOUR PRIORITY IN A GUNFIGHT: MOVEMENT & COVER=LIFE.” –Frosty talking to FNG, 2006  I had a serious case of Deja Vu’ and at the same time was reminded of the tactical importance of COVER while watching Netflix movie yesterday, Korengal, the follow up documentary to Restrepo by Sebastian Junger.

Attacked when Carrying a Child

Posted on 1 December 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

My main objective when developing the Civilian Operator Training curriculum was to give the average joe civilian a practical set of skills that he or she could use to both defend themselves and their loved ones at the same time.

The Real World “Sewing Machine”

Posted on 28 November 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

Knife techniques used on the street are brutal, fast and often very lethal.  The goal of the “sewing machine” move is simple: To stab you repeatedly, as fast as possible, in vital areas, so you die quickly. This move is thought to have originated in Prisons, where inmates, needing to eliminate somebody before a guard…

Now I am not going to waste your time and go into the political “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda” of this. Obviously, the ball has more than been fumbled in this situation..it has been LOST…

Quit Worrying and Start Training!

Posted on 15 October 2014 by The Tactical Hermit

  I have been literally assaulted on all sides lately by folks  asking me to give them advice on how best to “prepare” for the current crisis we are all facing in this country right now. From Ebola to EV-D68 to ISIS coming across our borders, to our 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights being trampled…
