Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- Running with Guns!
A deployed weapon should not slow us down!
Holding a pistol with both hands while running is like running with your hands tied together.
Getting from cover to cover needs to be done as fast as possible. The enemy should never get more that a fleeting glimpse!
Handgun?
Separate your hands and run normally. Make sure fingers are where they belong.
Rifle?
Use your strong-side hand on the pistol-grip or receiver and run!
Threats moving quickly, unexpectedly, and rapidly make difficult targets. Slow, ponderous targets don’t!
“It will grieve me to kill you, but you are very much in my way.” ~ Samurai Proverb

Nice advice. It amazes me how basic those concepts are and yet how often they are not upheld I see LEO’s all the time running with both hands on a pistol as if they were going to shoot and fire at the same time. Who would do that except Hollywood? Firing requires precision and control two things that running and even moving are contrary to. Sure you have to move but THEN you brace establish your sight picture and proper grip and fire away. People especially laypeople need more basics like this for self defense. I know your goal is… Read more »
