Panteo Productions posted this video up. Dave Spaulding of Handgun Combatives makes some good points about the state of firearms training. He points out the ridiculousness of Gear Gap. Like the Missile Gap, the Gear Gap is the perception of what latest gear you think you need. Dave also mentions the fallacy that a handgun instructor needs to have been a special operations operator in order to teach proper handgun fighting. Dave Spaulding mentions that Law Enforcement are better trained since they primarily use handguns. While some of that is true, it is also true that LE are under trained and some of them that do not train other than to qualify.

This video follows up a blog post Dave wrote back in February. Click Here to check it out.

Phil Note: Dave as I watched your video I wanted to start clapping. I couldn’t agree more with darn near every point you made!
