Rob, hey….while the technique discussed does work, there should be some discussion as to whether or not a rear choke calls for a lethal force response. Where there’s a serious size disparity, I would tend towards “yes”. But as shown? There are numerous techniques that are both simple and effective for defeating such an attack. The only reasonable justification I can see for YOU or ME going straight to a lethal force response would be if I believe the attacker is going for my weapon; and if I am carrying CONCEALED, how would he even know I have it?

Rob Pincus discusses the pitfalls of trying to become a “Speed Demon” on the target range. Practicing to swing through a known set of multiple targets as quickly as possible is a very common shooting endeavor, especially for competitors.
Rob Pincus and Deryck Poole work with a student on the range to improve his ability to adjust his Balance of Speed & Precision to the target size and distance while in the middle of any handgun shooting drills. Too often, students get conditioned to fire at one particular pace. See other videos in our…
Factors that influence which Kydex outside the waistband holster you prefer include Kydex quality, ride height and cant. Rob Pincus presents another issue that isn’t talked about as much: the percentage of the gun’s profile that is off centerline and being pressed up against the body. When a greater percentage of the gun presses on…
