These drills are repeated, over and over. 0, bottom line, what can the private guys do with these old fashioned revolvers? ot much, but what they can do, they can do well, and quick, first time all the time. What they do not do a lot of is unintentional discharges! Why? Think about it, all that is taught is, draw and fire two shots, fi nger off, lower to ready (3 inches below line of sight) and holster, simple yes? And a Il ot Range: guns are worn loaded all the time. (gun are on ly un loaded after test and prior to cleaning) So what do you do a a police officer when you next see an armed private sector person? Smile, nod, and say "I ii!" ow, that wasn't hard was it? And a smi le makes everybody feel good! Keep Safe.
