pretty good article...

IMO, shooting the bad guy comes in second place to NOT GETTING SHOT. People who envision and train for a "dodge city" type of shoot-out (where both participants stand there duellist style and try to shoot each) other need to revise their thinking. As the article pointed out, the overwhelming majority of gunfights take place at conversational distance. It has been said that "proximity negates skill." What that means is that even though you have tons of hours of formal training, the gangbanger with a stolen .25 and zero training can still kill you. I'm a firm believer in immediate exlposive movement off the line of attack (when possible) so that you present less of a target.

shameless plug : this is why I like XS Big-Dot sights...even when moving they stand out like a billboard.
