Re: Israeli fighting pistol
Thanks for posting this. Do you have any videos of previous classes?
Re: Israeli fighting pistol
I'm not aware of any videos that were taken of the training class. I do know there were photos taken, however I didn't pursue them.
I am looking forward to taking the course a second time in preparation for the level 2 in the future.
Re: Israeli fighting pistol
Is "Israeli pistol" where you carry without one in the chamber?

That is a common misconception, because it became a pratice due to their having crappy guns, some home made,. that tended to fire wehn dropped. Or shaken. Of just for the hell of it.
It is not something that has been done since the Israeli military obtained firearms that were not completely worthless, and it is not something anyone should be doing, unless their everyday carry is is a Colt Navy / Army, in which case carrying on an empty cylinder is the only say way due to drop fire.

Can someone tell me more about "The Signature Israeli Drawing and Presentation Technique" advertised as part of this course?

I've always read it was an official policy in place because the Browning High Power was their sidearm and their brass thought it safer to carry on an empty chamber than to have every recruit carrying cocked and locked.

Which again may also be true, as the gun has no manual safety, and it is not drop safe if carried chambered hammer down.
Lord knows the M9 is responsible for far and away the most negligent / accidental discharges in the US Army, despite relatively few troops having them.
Re: Israeli fighting pistol
The IDF now uses Glock pistols and they still practice the unchambered round draw. This is they're practice for some time and they didn't change it because they've taught it for quite some time. Once you practice the technique it's not any worse then condition one but I still use our method as I have for a long time and will not relearn but I believe it's used by the IDF for the purpose of the gun being taken away from the holster by an assailant also if they are running and it falls from the holster it doesn't discharge.
Sorry about the lack of videos but if you go to Rubicon training website there are pics but I'm not sure how many. The class is worth the day I can promise you that.
