Being able to hit what you shoot at thats what its all about.
However, simply having a gun isnt enough.
you should probably, among other things, HIT what you aim at.
Otherwise the resulting use of your firearm may create more problems than it solves.
Unfortunately, to be blunt, most concealed carriers are not skilled enough to hit what they shoot at.
Are You Ready?
Being ready is a byproduct of preparation.
Here is the beginners list:
In this article, Im going to addressaiming.
Front Sight Fiasco
The problem with aiming is that we have taught you all wrong.
Like the really dangerous distances of contact and just out-of-contact range.
In a fight you will likely need to watch and monitorwhat is happening.
Your gun may be in your hand.
You likely will have it pointed at an imminent threat.
You likely will be stressed and nervous.
You likely will be scared.
You will likely bereactingto events as they unwind.
And, unfortunately, if national statistics are referenced, you will likelyMISSwhen the time comes to shoot.
Lets make a run at avoid this by outfitting ourselves well.
Armed to Aim
it’s crucial that you stack the odds in your favor.
Its already a day gone bad, so lets not make it worse.
you should probably give yourself the best possible chance tonotmiss.
You do this by training and preparing your mind and equipment.
I just cant do it very well from across the inter-web.
I can tell you about which guns and holsters and calibers to choose.
I can tell you what skills to work on and describe drills that test you.
But I cannot train you.
I need to be able to watch you to correct you.
They are easy to see and allow you to accurately align your pistol on target.
Fiber optic and/or night sights, they are as good as iron sights can be.
But are they your best possible choice?
Lets say you are an experienced shooter who has trained for decades and shot hundreds of thousands of rounds.
You have learned simply by feel how to do most of the aiming/aligning process.
But what if you are not like me?
And what if it is dark?
And what if you have not practiced enough with your awesome new carry gun?
How are you going to know where that gun is pointed in that moment of need?
You wont have the feel I do, nor the confidence.
You may need something more.
Does that sound helpful?
And how about this, do you wear vision correction like I do?
They allowmy old eyes to focus on the sights, something I cant do with my daily eyeglasses.
And I dont want to wear them for anything except shooting.
Sure, they are magical.
They have returned my ability to see standard sights like I did decades ago.
Kinda like if you have to wear readers to read, but everything past that is fuzzy.
The list of benefits goes on.
The Viridian laser mounts perfectly to the XD-S Mod.2 9mm.
It is quick to install, simple to use and fast when it comes to aiming.
I suggest you give one a try on your EDC gun.
I cant imagine a better compact self-defense combination.
