This is the final drill of the day, we also made them do from a cold start at the beginning of the lesson.
A cold start is a more realistic assessment of how they would perform under stress and panic, with no preparation and timed pressure of everyone watching them.
Then, we worked through the issues we saw: not indexing mags, poor grip, forgetting to disengage safeties, and for many, it was the 1st time shooting fast, since rapid fire isn't allowed at most public ranges.
For students who started with us from Pistol 101, this was either their 2nd or 3rd lesson, after Pistol 102 to buy their 1st gun.
For folks who came to us with fear of recoil, I was so proud to see them by the end of Home Defense 101, confidently putting shots fast on 8.5x11 paper at 5yds!
The biggest illuminating thing they learned was the difference between marksmanship vs defensive accuracy, and that in a life and death situation, they can absolutely shoot faster, without looking at their sights, with the proper grip to mitigate recoil and keep shots within that paper (ie. center mass).
Most students shaved off half their time or more, with less misses than when they started.
Thanks to instructor Roberta Tarnove for leading a great class and instructor Gio Cardenas for helping us run the class smoothly.
Wishing Robbie great training as she heads to Oregon to train with Modern Samurai Project, LLC and I'll be training with Tap Rack Bang Training March 17 at their monthly advanced CCW.
These skills are perishable, folks, so keep training! We'll see ya at our LAPS Spring Community Range Day Sat March 26 and our next monthly MARCH Pistol 101 Weekend is Sun March 27. We offer Home Defense 101 only 3 times a year or more if enough ppl join the wait list...hit the linktree for info:

I personally believe that all law enforcement and defensive shooters should be making the transition to target-focused shooting instead of front-sight focused shooting for a number of reasons but predominantly for target identification as well as foreground and background awareness. If you are making the transition to the red dot 🔴 Scott is the guy to help you with it. Check them out! You won’t regret it.

* Your wonderful host, Mike Pappas, Squad Leader, Bergen County Regional SWAT, for inviting MSP for these first two back-to-back courses (one end user and one instructor) in Mahwah.
* Everyone at the Bergen County Law and Public Safety Institute for the use of their outstanding facility.
* MSP Staff Instructor, Green Ops Instructor, Veteran, and Triple MSP Black Belt Patch Recipient ( #17, #18 and #22), Hunter Freeland, for his exceptional AI talents, and taking over the lead role on TD2.
* Veteran and Double MSP Black Belt Patch Recipient ( #23 and #24), John Johnson, for stepping up to AI.
* Each of you dedicated officers who serve and protect with great diligence, and continually devote time to train to make yourselves and others better too!
