A lot of very good information @Annihilator muscle memory and training go a long way to ensure instinct takes over in a stressful situation.

I dont wear ballistic armor, so reload intention is going to be from behind cover.

An article that is needed. Now, the people that read it need to follow through.

It would be nice for older CCW permit holders if there were trainers that recognize the physical limitations of many older shooters and devise this same kind of training for people that cannot get down on the ground and up again, or in many cases, even run.

When my mother was in her 90s she was training with a walker. At 102 she was still training but from a motorized scooter.

At my age, I run pretty slow and I was never a fast runner. While I can get down and up, that process is far too slow for a gun fight. I have changed my training as well and that includes staying away from high risk places and constantly scanning for acceptable cover.

No more bar fights - now mostly trap shooting.
