Why re-enact the losing gunfight?

#wheelgunwednesday

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.
