    Interesting. I would have assumed the deflection would have been exactly the opposite, following the angle of the glass.

    But what about the other 10%, specifically us lefty's? A threat at the driver's side door seems to be a nightmare of elbows and contorted joints as I try to address a threat on that side. Any suggestions?

    This was the best video I have ever watched on vehicle glass shooting dynamics and research... Awesome job Rob! I personally met you once at the NRA Gun show In Indianapolis , Indiana in one of your seminars. I've been impressed with your video education since, and your vids are on the top 5% of shooting self defense video production in my book. Thanks Semper Fi Marine Vet Chicago

    GREAT INFO. NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A SURE WAY TO FIRE THROUGH A WINDSHIELD OR OTHER CAR WINDOWS. THANKS.

    Rob great information. Understanding the deviation possibilities when shooting in or out of the windshield is a great tool to have in the tool box.

    the video does not show the second round it was cropped off. but very good info . I would like to know what type of ammo you used . You said S&W 40

    The left handed driver cannot touch, press and fire with their dominant hand on either scenario. Due to the proximity of the target would you recommend using the right hand to make the shot?
