    “Prosecute him” lol. I bet Bill opens up with a Robocop line when he serves warrants. “Come quietly or there will be trouble.”

    Just realized blowers is ambidextrous. His primary is fired with his left and pistol with his right

    • @jonjonjonnyjon

      He's a left eye dominant right handed shooter. Ambidextrous means you can do the same task on both sides. So someone who can write with either hand is ambidextrous. Technically we should all be ambi when it comes to shooting since support side shooting and manipulation should be something we practice.

      l2icel3all actually I’m right eye dominant, and left handed. The only thing I do right handed is shoot a pistol.

      TenguAlpha I've seen him work the shield before and he fires with both left and right so I guess he is ambi.

      Cross eye dominance. I also shoot my long guns left handed and pistol right handed

    Yup he is ambi and even the way his belt is setup works really well.

    How do you activate a while light with a MAWL button? I mean, I know you can do that with a TAPS Pro switch, but I didn't see one of those. Can you activate a while light with a MAWL button?

    cool to see someone else who cross eye dominant that's not LAV lol. I always want to pick their brains bc I'm one as well

    Pistol switches between threaded and non threaded barrels. Where's the continuity producer when you need them ? Sarcasm off

    What is a good time for this drill?

    • @tap-racktactical5801
      @tap-racktactical5801 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hard to say based on individual skill, training and experience. I just tell dudes to start slow if they're picking up what I'm putting down on running the light on the pistol. I have a standard for classes, but that's after we've had time to break down the issues more thoroughly and get in some proficiency reps.

  • @prepsho5007

    Maybe in team work its ok, but for civilians its good to move somewhere, switch off the light and stay in the same place.. that could be mistake.

      Joshua Stansberry don’t have to be a lawyer or judge to prosecute someone/something

    • @TacticalTrainer223
      @TacticalTrainer223 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Joshua Stansberry one of the definitions of prosecute according to dictionary.com: to follow up or carry forward something undertaken or begun, usually to its completion
      So continuing to shoot a threat
