Accuracy is a yes or no proposition in defensive shooting. You define your target, and your goal is to hit it. More or less accurate is not the issue. Rob Pincus explains why.

As a law enforcement officer and member of my agency’s SWAT team, I 100% agree with this assessment. Having been in an on duty shooting, while working a plain clothes detail, I can tell you that engaging the threat quickly and stopping the threat, is far more important than a 3″ group.
OMG I’ve been giving this talk to State Troopers and Concealed Carry permit holders in Maryland for years! I am so glad to hear someone else say this! The B-27 was the worst target to use for defensive training. A low center of mass shot? Really? A hit is a hit is a hit. How we train is how we will perform in combat (self defense). Get the firearm out and on target and fire. Aiming (S.A. & S.P.) up close is just not necessary.
Thanks for that video. It answered a question that I have been struggling with since I received my concealed carry, a few months ago.
