Hello all,
I just wanted to see what handgun/flashlight techniques everyone used for checking out a "bump in the night" situation. Personally, I favor the Valhalla technique as it keeps the muzzle in a safe place at all times. The drawback, of course, is that if you only have a split second to acquire your target, you might not get on target fast enough. However, I feel the benefits outweigh the risks for unknown "bump in the night" situations.
I used to practice the Harries technique, but I've found I "sweep" too slowly and cannot react to sudden noises and movements with the speed I would like. I've also had weapon mounted lights, but I like to identify whats there before "sweeping" it.
As I am gone on business occasionally, Once every few months, my wife and I go through a few scenarios and "train" for the unexpected. I feel that it's important to point out the weaknesses of your technique before your assailant does.
So, which techniuqe do you favor and how often do you "train" with it?
