Armed Response: Don’t Isolate Your Draw Stroke

This week in our “Don’t Train as You Were Taught” series, we focus on drawing the gun in a self defense situation. Standing “rooted” on your feet as you draw your gun doesn’t make any sense on the streets.

This series is produced for DRTV by Ralph Mroz and David Kenik.

During the next 3 months, we will give a new tip every Wednesday. Feel free to discuss the tips on the forum and below on this page.

Ralph Mroz and David Kenik are the people behind the Armed Response DVD series. These video programs avoid both the simplistic advice that is too often given for armed self-defense, and on the other end of the spectrum, the over-macho “high-speed” “tactical” advice that is also both unrealistic and too prevalent. Instead the focus is on what is realistically possible for most people to do in these extreme circumstances. Mroz was a police officer for almost 20 years, most recently assigned to his county’s drug task force; Kenik is the firearms instructor for the Lake Arthur, NM police department.
