For those with proper training, inside of about 10 feet, I'll take the knife and you can have the gun. I'll never lose and you'll never see the knife. Ahem - without getting into specifics, you are absoutely 100% correct. B.S. Bravado. From 10 feet away, if someone came after me with a knife in a fight and I were holding my SIG X-5, he'd be on the ground dying from three taps to the chest. Especially if the guy with the knife were an old fart. You know, a guy your age or Gene's age. Closer than 10 feet, you're assuming the guy with the pistola is standing around and waiting for the perp and his knife to close in... At one of my CCW classes the instructor demonstrated this. Nobody could draw and fire an aimed shot before he got them, even from a fannie pack, worn in front with your hand on the gun. The problem is reaction time from the time you see the guy move until you start moving. We are talking a fraction of a second here. I suppose some of those cowboy action shooters can do this but they train several hours a day *... and they know when it's coming. I really do think he was trying to drum up business for his self defense course since the answer was deflecting the knife, then shooting the guy as demonstrated by his assistant. My thought was if you are that good why do you need to shoot him? Just take the knife away and stab him. Behold Bob Munden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H0dYEjR-jA |
