The subject of ‘The Pence Drill’ came up today in the context of reloading a revolver during an incident. I posted a video explanation of what ‘The Pence Drill’ is on my Tactical Professor https://www.facebook.com/ATLFirearms/ Facebook page.
Someone asked, “Why re-enact the losing gunfight?” That’s actually a meaningful question. Two of my friends posted the answers that I would have.
“He is showing a solution that may have saved the officer. Why waste time loading all 6 when two will do?
It’s the teachable moment. Learning from the mistakes of others.”
As my colleague Michael de Bethencourt of Snub Noir https://snubnoir.com/ says, “when you’ve got at least one live round back in the gun, it’s loaded.”
It’s good to hear a meaningful question asked rather than just expressing a criticism.

Why is the shooter at a distance that allows reloading? IMO, when you are IN the fight, you can’t miss (with even a small skill set), so how do you run dry in the middle of a fight. Nevertheless, your Reload should be your backup magazine which is inside another pistol, or another revolver. Carrying spare revolver ammo relies upon a skill set that might do well on the range, but has no place in an actual fight where tenths of a second will mean your life. Problem: Gun Handling and Target Shooting Instructors data can be mistaken for Gunfight Instructions. Get your Gunfight Instructions from shooters who have actually been there and done that. Even then, use your own brains to figure out how the data applies to you and your fighting methods. Gunfighting involves eye, hand & feet co-ordination, as well as determination to dominate the fight. Your methodology will determine the outcome.
