How much confidence do you have in your firearm that it will work EVERY time? We know at Active Self Protection that training trumps gear, but we also know that a reliable firearm is an important part of winning the fight when it starts!

What does this video shooting teach us about knowing our firearm well and knowing how malfunctions work?
1. You must know your firearm, how it functions, and how you’ll respond with it in the moment of need. Pressure testing your firearm manipulations in force on force and other training classes is critical because you need to know that you can get your firearm in the fight and keep it in the fight! If your habits will inadvertently drop the magazine or your grip will cause the slide not to lock back on empty or other induce other malfunctions, you do NOT want to find that out when the balloon goes up.
