Re: concerns about a disarm and level of skill?
I do use a retention holster when I OC. I go to the range every week. Most times twice a week. I am very aware of what is going on around me. When ever I am near another person (5-10 foot) my right forearm will push my sidearm into my side. When at the range I will always draw from my holster and fire at targets from 25 to 50 foot away.
Now the other day I thought I would draw while moving to my right and fire 3 rounds at the target. I had two targets side by side. So I fired at the one to the left. My heart sank into my socks. I hit the one on the right with all three shots. It opened my eyes alot. More practice is needed and I will be sure to stop moving. Before firing at bad guys. Its good to know that hitting what your aiming at while moving is very very hard (at least for me). Because of my little experiment I now know one more thing not to attempt in a real world situation.
By the way, I hate crowds so I never go to any place with them. With or without a weapon.
I think maybe I will look for some type of school to help me with defensive shooting tactics.
