In very close quarters, less than 10 feet or so, you won't have time for a TRB before you are in a CQB scenario. That is why CQB and H2H techniques are vital in a violent encounter. The closer you are to your opponent the more likely your gun will malfunction from contact with you or your opponent in a dynamic situation.What should you do when a stoppage occurs at very close quarters, and either a TRB drill doesn't work or there is no time to perform? Drop the gun? Try to retain it somehow? Throw it behind you and fight on?
No Mute, didn't hear a thing! There were a number of people shooting nearby and I have electronic ear's on! I pay real close attention to the gun when shooting for light recoil that kinda thing. A number of years ago I bought some reloads for my 357 and the same thing happened, and as I recall I didn't hear the primer go off either. My wife can attest to my hearing and not hearing at times<grin>.On 2001-07-10 16:50, Mute wrote:
FortyFive. When you got the bullet stuck in the barrel, I assume it was propelled by the primer. Did you not even hear the primer go off? I've had the same thing happen to me with a friend's reloads but I knew right away because I did hear the primer pop but the recoil was not there.
Guess we are going to have to agree to disagree, no hand gun is a acceptable weapon in CQB as an alternative to a knife or even a club. BTDT and they (handguns) SUCK! A 1911 won't loose a slide as easily and it weighs more than a Glock but either for CQB, is a POS.A 1911A1 with an Alternative Force Block is probably the best thing to have when fighting in close quarters, because you have a viable striking weapon already in your hand
I'll disagree with that too. The ACTUAL reason martial artists get their asses kicked is because they never fight. If they do it is never full contact. Take any formally trainied martial artist that also takes part in REAL NS, full contact fighting and he'll be a FULL can of whoop ass on the street.This is why many martial artists get their asses kicked on the street. They spend more time deciding which kick or punch to use
