My thoughts - things to to be clarify, plus the lessons we can learn from that shooting and CarryTrainer’s video:

  1. the sights were not “not functional”. They were damaged; meaning, for somebody who knows the tools used everyday - damaged iron sights or non operational red dot still give a very good point of reference. Perhaps shots from longer distance than 25 yards are hard in that case… but still can be accurate.
  2. it doesn’t matter what handgun is used as long you are proficient with it
  3. if you miss from a distance, go and close it a little. It’s a good idea to challenge yourself at the range to find your limits
  4. you should know your skills and limitations. Visualize the situations and the way how you will react and what you can or cannot do.
  5. always try to be better than you are now

Facts: Elijah Dickens stopped the attacker cold. I don’t care if Dickens made the attacker dead with his mind, or he did point shooting from 40 yards or 14 yards or 4.

Here is another myth btw : that dude has balls made of tritanium alloy.
