The Combat Stance or How to Avoid
Falling Down During a Gunfight
behind a wall or telephone pole, canting the body back and adopting‘
a Weaver stance often keeps the body better protected from incoming
rounds. lhus. it is a good idea to have a working knowledge of both
stances, although it is wise to pick one as your primary shooting
stance and give it the most attention during practice time.
To recap, to develop the proper foot position for a combat stance,
adopt a position that you can naturally walk into, something that
you’re going to do anyway. Remember to shoot from the waist up,
pivoting, directing the arms and chest to the target, and getting the
gun Where it needs to go. Arm position should be comfortable and
feel natural to you. Whether it is a straight arm or a bent arm
method really makes no difference as long as the shooting arm is
straight. It is Whatever works best for you. Though shooting does
occur from the waist up, one thing that needs to be taken into
account is recoil control. This is easily accomplished by leaning the
upper torso and shmilders into the gun. By doing so. and having the stances, although it is wise to pick one as your Prilnary Shooting
stance and give it the most attention during practice time.

account is recoil control. This is easily accomplished by leaning the
upper torso and shoulders into the gun. By doing so, and having the
shooting arm locked, the gun will actually come back on target for
you. An easy way to find this position is to get into a good stance and
lean forward as far as possible without falling on your face. Once in
this position bend at the knees and you will have a “proper” shooting
stance regardless of where you feet are placed.
Reliability is the number one priority when selecting any
personal defense firearm. The gun has to be 100% in
order for you to have the confidence to utilize this
weapon for defense of life. But let’s be honest, how
many human designed and engineered items out there are 100%
reliable? Even a Maytag dishwasher a Toyot-a automobile will
break down at some point. Do you really tlmink your firearm can be
expected to perform to a higher standard thaii any other manmade
mechanical device? There are going to be times when it will
malfunction and you must be able to clear it quickly and get back on
target or you will be on the losing end of a confrontation.
camming the thumb against the grip tang pulling the slide back just

A different rear press check requires the support hand to actually
grasp the top of the rear of the slide, with the palm and fingers
engaging the rear serrations. The shooting hand can then
forward a little bit on the gun’s grip
slide to move slightly to the rear and making sure a round iS in
place. Any of these techniques work quite well and which is chosen
is up to the individual operator. I strongly suggest using the Sélme
technique all the time. By doing it the same way each and every time

good idea to press check using a different method than the one used
to chamber a round. This will eliminate any confusion due 150 Slmllal‘
feelOn DA/SA pistols, the press check can be accomplished with
greater ease if the hammer is manually cocked before press checking
the slide. This will reduce tension on the slide. Once the check 1S
completed, the gun should be de-cocked using the appropriate lever.
There is no reason to be in a hurry when doing a press check, so
it can be done with a great deal of care and safety. But remember
always make sure your gun is loaded before you hit the street. Don’t
take it for granted that everything is fine just because you worked
the slide before you put the gun in the holster. Check and double
check. An empty gun is a gun that will not run and as previously
stated - a gun that will not run is no fun as well as being hazardous
to your health. Make sure it’s loaded before you put yourself in
harm’s way.
Become smooth when you check the chamber using a press check

situation requires.just as loading the pistol should be done with great care,
unloading the pistol should probably be done with even greater care.
There is no greater potential tragedy than mistaking a loaded gun
for an unloaded one. When the gun is unloaded, double, triple, and
quadruple check that it is unloaded. Unloading the handgun is easily
done. The FIRST step is to remove the source of ammunition from
the pistol, i.e., the magazine is Withdrawn. Don’t try to take the
round out of the chamber until the magazine is free of the pistol as
you Will just reload another round to the chamber. Turn the gun tothe side and work the slide vigorously several times, then lock the
slide to the rear using the slide stop. Check the chamber visually and
by feel to make sure that there are no rounds in it. At this time you
now have a safe weapon. It is more common than people realize for
individuals to unload their gun by first working the slide and then
removing the magazine. This situation results in a gun that has no
source of ammunition, but has a round of ammunition in the
chamber.
Loading and reloading is a fairly simple process, unless it needs
to be done in a hurry or under great stress, which is the case in
combat situations. There are two basic reloads that are taught in themajority of shooting schools. They are generally known as a speed
load and a tactical or administrative reload. To simplify this, a speed
load is essentially getting the magazine out of the grip as fast as
possible and getting a new magazine in place so the fight can be
continued. What happens to the spent magazine is not a major
concern. A tactical or administrative reload is done when there is
more time available and you wish to secure the magazine coming out
of the gun. Being a firm believer in simplicity, I have come to callshooting hand as the support hand leaves the weapon to go to the
magazine. He merely takes the support hand fingers, turns them
upward and pulls the gun toward the thumb as it leaves to travel to
the spare magazine. By doing so the gun automatically turns into the
Shooting hand thumb putting it into an excellent position to drop the
magazine. This technique is an excellent technique, and in my
()pi1’1i0I1, unless you just have an incredible amount of motor skill
already dedicated to the flip, it is a good technique to adopt for fast
reloads. Once the gun is turned in the hand, do not release the
magazine in the pistol until the support hand has received or gained
a solid purchase on the spare magazine. It’s a good idea to make sure
that you have something to put in the gun before you dislodge the
one magazine you know is in place. Yes, it’s true that this magazine
may be empty, but w-hat if you are able to come in contact with
additional ammunition and you have no magazine to load this
ammunition into. The gun is nothing but a high priced club without
bullets. Get your support hand solidly on the spare magazine and
then dump the magazine from the pistol. Before pulling the
magazine out of the pouch, make sure that you have a solid grip on
it before removing. If not, two things can occur
this preferred method may come into play is when the support hand
is too large or too small to grasp the magazine as described. If the
magazine cannot be firmly seated or the size of the hand seems to
interfere with the reloading process, then the magazine may have to
be adjusted in the hand to allow for positive insertion.
The magazine should be inserted into the grip with the flat back
of the magazine flush against the flat back of the magazine well.
This action will help guide the magazine up and into the gun grip.
Trying to insert the magazine straight in will likely meet with
frustration and failure, especially with single column magazines.
Once the magazine is in the correct position, use the heel of the hand
to push the magazine up into the well until it locks in place. The
support hand should then slide up the side of the grip and seat itself
in the open space on the grip and shoot as needed. While this sounds
easy enough, it can be most difficult when trying to do it quickly.
Fast reloads are a real weak spot for me and I practice them
constantly.
Some instructors teach their students to bring the gun up in front
of their face to reload. The thought here is that the shooter will be
less likely to miss the magazine well if it is right in front of their
eyes. Good idea for competitors who KNOW that the target is not
going to shoot back at them. Bad idea for someone who wants to keep
track of the person shooting at them!
it is a far better idea to keep the eyes on the threat when trying
to reload and if looking at the magazine is necessary, only to look for
a brief moment and then return to the threat area. This is where
