A friend of mine came by the other night to pick up a really cool gun that he had ordered, and he dropped me a surprise; The Art of the Dynamic Handgun, by Magpul Industries. It’s a 4 DVD set that follows Travis Haley and Chris Costa as they teach the Handgun Course to a group of shooters.
The first thing that I want to say about these DVDs is that they are some of the best produced gun DVDs I have ever seen. Most gun DVDs look like they were shot at a range with a handycam. You just don’t get what you pay for in many cases. These were done first rate with great editing. You definitely won’t get bored watching these, and for $50, they are a solid value.
The Dynamic Handgun shows civilians, military and law enforcement how to properly deploy a handgun in many situations you are likely to see on the street. They cover basics and advanced shooting positions that you should practice but normally don’t. The one thing I came away with is that my training has been far too soft lately. It is too easy to go shoot a few mags at the range and never get dirty or tired. This obviously leads to a plateau of skills that are rusting away.
Interestingly enough for all you Fist-Fire fans, the shooting position looks familiar.
