Once upon a time I worked with a bloke who spoke NINE Asiatic languages and a number of dialects, fluently, as well as English, Italian, French. Spanish and German and had a PhD in International Relations. One day I got called in to 'deal' with him as another person he was trying to help, couldn't get past his Indian accent. Rahul had, as far as I was concerned, a rather mild accent and was always a pleasure to work with, yet this muppet was going bonkers at him for being a "f*cking wog" who didn't speak a "proper" language. It took a few moments of this person waving their arms about and making nasty sounds, me standing there with crossed arms waiting for him to run out of steam and my buddy starting to look through some paperwork, before the guy actually shut up, looked at my pips, 'scary' salad board and 6'4 versus his three stripes, basically no salad and 5'4. There was a lot of mumbled something about not feeling well and could he be dismissed? I spent a few minutes verbally pulling a pound of flesh off of him (I'd done a short stint as a DI before my commission), had him apologise to Rahul, who although a civvie, still merited more deference than this turd sandwich ever would, resolved his issue and then marched him straight to his company area and let his CSM know I "wasn't happy" and why. I cannot and will not abide such ignorance, especially when directed against someone such an inoffensive, helpful, useful, unassuming and elegant gentleman, such as Rahul.

Like I said in another thread here, about the only time I can see PD, Troopers, or Sheriffs not looking at their holster while holstering is if they're working solo and trying to put someone in cuffs, simply because you want to keep your eyes on them in case they try to do something stupid. In an ideal world, they'd have a partner covering the suspect while trying to cuff them. But, we don't live in an ideal world, and many officers are forced to operate solo. I'm not saying that they should do it that way, or that it's the right thing.

There's been more people shot by carelessly holstering their gun than by an unseen threat while looking down holstering.

When a non-native English speaker talks to me and says "sorry about my English", my usual response is along the lines of "don't worry, your English is far better than my "insert their native language here" and I make every effort to try and understand what they say, because I have NO hope of ever understanding what they might say in their native language if they chose to use that instead.

I spent 6 years working in an office space with mostly 30-50 year old African, Vietnamese, and some ME immigrants. I got used to all kinds of accents and "butcherings" of English. I've noticed some people felt it was rude to tell them you couldn't understand either what they were saying or what they were trying to say, when in reality it's rude to pretend you can and likely miss the point of whatever conversation you're having. It's far easier to have a little laugh with each other for miscommunications and have some clarity. Anytime I taught them something about English, I'd ask them to teach me something about their language in return. Was a fun way to help them and also learn something in return, even if I never end up picking up Vietnamese, Swahili, Hmong, or Arabic. I was 21 at the time and it felt odd teaching people twice my own age. I think my approach helped humble myself and remind them there's plenty I could learn from them as well.

The amount of people who have spoken to me in varying degrees of broken English with sometimes insanely thick accents and wild pronunciations and then expecting me to decipher it is at this point beyond measure. Yet I can generally converse with them. Meanwhile the lady at the shop is looking at me like I'm crazy.

Re-holstering without looking is one thing at the range, where the holster is 99% likely to be where you left it (and even that 1% still gets people, a la NDs). But out in the field? After a fight? Maybe it came out of your pants with the draw, maybe you knocked it askew rolling on the ground, maybe your clothes are jammed in it, maybe there's blood in it. You really want to then blindly stick your gun back in that when your hands are also numb from the adrenaline dump? How embarrassing would that be? Survive a self-defense fight for your life, only to shoot yourself on the re-holster.

Which is why you shouldn't do it at the range. If you develop the habit now, you are far more likely to fall back on that habit, when under duress.

I tell every person I introduce to firearms "if you ever attend a course where the instructor gets after you for looking at your holster, ask for a refund and leave fast." Clint Smith says something to the effect of 'your heart rate will be over 200 a minute, with poop in your shorts' about defensive shootings. That's not the time to make an oopsie and blast yourself re-holstering.

I think the terms 'sniper rifle' and 'assault rifle' are simply convenient terms to use when referring to a certain type of firearm. There are actually very few rifles that were designed from the ground up to be sniper rifles. Most rifles used for sniping are indeed scoped bolt-actions, even though they were originally just hunting rifles. Saying it's not ok to call them sniper rifles is really just semantic bullshit that some people use to try to sound more tacticool than others.

That no-look holstering thing drives me batty, as well as literally every other quality instructor I've worked with. All of us will tell you that the most dangerous thing you do with your sidearm is reholstering it, so do it slowly, deliberately, and with care. If there's still a threat, why the hell are you putting the gun away? Nothing makes me stop a class as fast as someone who keeps speed-reholstering their pistol like their IG views depend on it.

I was working at Madigan Army Medical Center (FT Lewis, WA) a soldier who was on guard duty and didn't remove his finger from the trigger guard, and wasnt paying attention when holstering his sidearm and ended up shooting himself in the leg. I was working on a printer in the ER when they brought him in. I was talking to a DR, a couple years later and told him about seeing this and he started laughing. He was the attending that day and said the guy was the luckiest soldier in an unlucky situation. The bullet missed everything important, entering the thigh and exiting the calf and missed everything in the knee. They actually caused more injury to him with the exploratory surgery than the bullet did. So yes, get your finger out of the guard and pay attention to what you are doing.

Yeah, but most people that use it, use it to make the AR kind of rifles like we are hellbent on murdering people. Most people that have an AR/AK never assaulted people in anger or the body count (in the media) would be a lot more then what they are already lying about. I say lying as they agregate all shooting or murders (even with knives) and suicide as being murders. Murders is when you kill someone else but not in self-defense and not just with firearms. If you kill yourself it's not a murder, it's still illegal in most states but not a murder. Plenty of people have been killed by other means as per the statistics publish by the FBI every year and that total 95% of them across the crountry (since some states don't report their numbers to the FBI). Cheers Clyde!

Yeah, shooting yourself in the leg is almost always the worst way to end a threat encounter and an even worse way to train! "Hello, 911? The mugger ran off, but I shot myself reholstering my gun and it's bleeding, like a LOT."

I have to say at one point I was the asshole who used to be the “It’s a suppressor” kind of guy. This was until I learned relevant history and became a gun guy. It is a valid point and a thing that all respectable people should understand.

Making sure you don't catch your handgun on anything as you reholster it is something I learned really quick when I got my shirt caught between my glock and my holster one of the first times I hit the range with a new OWB holster and belt.

That's probably because most civilian ARs are not assault rifles. They don't have that nifty selector switch built into them. Although "modern sporting rifle" is a dumb term, it is also one that distinguishes a semi auto only version of a platform from one that has burst/full.

7:39 - Remember, there's no prize for speedy re holstering. :D Forget just looking at it, if you've got one of these concealed carry holsters with the quick clip I'd argue the safest way to reholster it would be to just pop that bad boy off, point your gun in a safe a safe direction, and reholster it in front of you at eye level. It'd be slow, tedious, and annoying but you basically make the chance of injuring yourself on the re holster 0. I'm not saying you should necessarily do that by the way and looking at the holster and carefully pointing the gun away from you as you holster isn't just about as good, but it would probably be slightly safer. :D

The holstering thing is borderline infuriating. That is someone who I guarantee watches anime religiously and whom has never been to the range as an adult. We're not samurai and nobody is handing out cool points to people who don't look while sheathing their weapons. And yeah, if there's still a threat, then you shouldn't be holstering.

Personally speaking I hate it when thugs with full auto Glock switches talk about emptying their 30 round..."CLIPS", and when those that should know better call silencers "suppressors" instead of their technical name, the..."Whisper Pickle.". Used in a sentence. "Hey James, just certified my eForm 4 yesterday for my new Surefire Ryder 9 Ti Whisper Pickle."
