There's a reason why I start every one of my classes with going over the four rules if fi****ms safety, and watch my students like a hawk to keep them from developing bad habits.
The female cop was almost killed by her partner. Muzzle awareness and trigger discipline are a must!

Here is a tragic example of why I emphasize the importance of being sure of your target and its background when I give my safety briefing.

I've encountered this multiple times where someone defends their questionable decision with a rationalization that I now refer to as "the scenario for success." "I'll have time to chamber my weapon." "I don't plan on shooting anyone, so I dont need a larger caliber." "I don't go where there's trouble.
As I heard another instructor say, "good guy rule number one; you don't get to choose the time or the place."
The bad guys don't know what your scenario for success is, and even if they did, they don't care.
I'm sure this father had justified his decision to carry on an empty chamber saying he would have the time needed. He paid with his life for that rationalization.
Father and son perish while dad struggles to chamber his empty carry weapon Many people who carry in condition 3 or higher assume they will have time to chamber a round when needed. It takes less than a second, right?

If you ignored my advice about getting a Sig 320, then at least get a good holster for it while you're one of Sig's beta testers.

Although an antiquated design, every red-blooded American should own a good 1911. When it comes to 1911's, heed Larry's advice.
1911 Mil-Spec .45ACP Pistol | State-of-the-Art Handguns Springfield Armory® carries a large selection of 1911 handguns, including the mil-spec .45ACP pistol. Get this and many other state-of-the-art handguns.
There is so much wrong here. Off body carry of a handgun. Handgun choice i.e. a five shot snubnose and a pocket pistol. Handgun implementation. I wonder many of their shots hit the robber vs went somewhere else. Mindset: they did not act like they were fighting for their lives until the older woman was physically entangled with the robber. Both women are lucky to be alive and that the robber wasn't moderately more competent at his chosen profession.
As I've told my students multiple times, odds are you are not going to get to choose where or when.
