Excerpt:
...  remember that robberies are about someone
expecting to take something from you by force. 
DON’T MEET their expectations . . . exceed them.

"Some Thoughts on Training" by Greg Ellifritz

before learning the stuff in this class.

Check Your Six: Looking AND Seeing
https://civiliangunfighter.wordpress.com/2016/05/20/check-your-six-looking-and-seeing/
     I teach (and this has changed over the years) a
three part after action procedure: 
     Quick Check - looking to your right and behind you,
then looking to your left and behind you.  Slowly,
because with an adrenaline dump, you are much stronger
and much faster than you think you are.
     Final Check - looking at the guy you just shot to
determine his condition.
     Scan - with pistol pointed straight up and suport
side hand pressed against your cheek or pistol pointed
straight down in a retention SUL position (support
side hand on top of the pistol), scan in
vertical strips while rotating through 360 azimuthal
degrees.
     I disagree with the author.  I think a 360 degree
scan is essential for security.

Tom Givens podcast on Ballistic Radio

Excerpt: 
     "The biggest waste of time . . . is missing. Every time
you miss you used up the time it took to prep that shot,
fire that shot and recover from that shot and that’s a
significant amount of time. When you accept misses you
are assuming that you’re going to get to keep doing this
until you get a hit. The problem is the other guy’s not
having to wait his turn. His turn is congruent with
yours. So the more you miss the more time you are giving
him to launch bullets in your direction. You might get
hit by sheer accident."
     "There is no such thing as a miss, just unintentional
hits."
     "When you're missing, the answer is never to speed
up.  It's to get your wits about you and calm down."
     "Law enforcement techniques have very little to
do with civilian self-defense."
     "Military techniques have very little to do with
civilian self-defense."
     "There are about 6 million violent attacks in our
country every year."  [That's a huge number!]
     "People will perform at the level that you require
of them."

     Over the years, I have noticed that when people
get cut by ricocheting fragments, it's the copper
jacket fragments that cut them.  So, this seems to
be a good technological advancement.
Syntech™ Technology
http://federalpremium.com/products/premium-technologies-handgun.aspx

     If it eliminates lead and copper fouling in the
bore as advertised, cleaning the bore should be much
easier.

Understanding Double Action Pistol Types
http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/understanding-double-action-pistol-types/
     I disagree with the narrator.  Using a finger or
thumb to block the hammer to decock a pistol is wrong. 
There is no correct nor reasonable manual of arms in
which the user blocks the hammer with a digit in order
to decock the pistol.

How to Identify a Venomous Snake By Its Bite

"I probably sound a bit cranky about eye protection.
There’s a reason for that. A few years ago, when I
first got into firearms, I accidentally splashed a
bit of solvent onto my prescription glasses. The
plastic lens was immediately etched deeply by the
cleaning stuff. I was so thankful that it wasn’t my
eye, but quite irritated that it destroyed my new
pair of glasses. Don’t take the chance of it being
your eyeball that gets etched like that, okay?"
