I've watched a few of these videos. Times have changed. This was before speedloaders were in common use. Trigger discipline was a little different. I do like his finger spins, though. He uses his middle finger behind the trigger. I've watched some of the old FBI traing videos, too. All their training was shooting one handed. Even in 1973 when I qualified with a .45 in the Army, using two hands was optional.

If this guy was still around now, he could be Tom Homan’s right hand man!!!

You know you're an old school badass when you can handle a full auto M14 like its nothing.

BRAVO!

This is the kind of man I sorely miss. I grew up in west Texas with a lot of WW2 vets, and just old tough men that have been through a lot, with plenty of guts and common sense. These were tough, sharp guys that expected excellence. Outstanding Americans, who were very capable.

This man was something special. Damn!

Versus Bill Jordan?

We had a whole bunch of Dan Combs video tapes to watch when I went through CLEET in 1989. Capt. Combs was an amazing exhibition shooter.

Damn!

He taught in my academy 30

This Man gets my Respect! Wow I love these Old School human beings, so spot on! God Bless Him and the ones in Service ❤

Are we still making men like this?

Love it

This old boy wouls have made a good United States Marine! The reason our country sucks today is because we do not have more people like him (Dan Combs).

Thank you for sharing this video.

So freaking fast draw

Handy with the steel

When I got into law enforcement in 2004 we had a few of the older guys who were of the same way of thinking as Captain Combs, and they were the cops and officers you gravitated to because they not only had knowledge but they also had common sense, something sorely missing in America and today's law enforcement. There's too much of an "us vs them" attitude when it comes to new officers and that's not the way it should be. We're all in this together, and when I learned, we were made aware, the people you see will be the ones your kids go to school with their kids, they will be your neighbors, you will see them at the store, in public, etc. All of that made a difference.

Respect to a veteran of public service. His whole life of service

Captain Combs was a friend of my dad, Neal Knox. I saw a version of this demonstration at a benchrest match in Skiatook, Oklahoma around 1975.

Awesome! Wish I had known him

I wonder who was faster, him or Bob Munden???

Like to see him do that with the retention holsters cops use today.

Thank you for sharing this! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I've always heard that Dan's dimwittedness was what was legendary.

Holy Fast Draw 😳 That’s Impressive

Before the days of retention holsters....

And here I was always under the impression that Dan Combs was a drunken fool and the Village Idiot.

times change but i bet he was a good shoot

Who needs a shotgun?! :)

atf: “sorry sir but your fingers have illegally modified that single action into a machine gun”

His closing message needs to be echoed to all law-abiding citizens today! A true legend right there.

If you look at the Troopers who are watching Lt. Combs, you will see several shots of Trooper Billy Young who was later killed in the line of duty in Caddo County.

He came to our High School and did this !!!! Just try that today !

I am on his side of family he is my grandma Ruth Mccullars 1st cousin

Wow

Capt. Dan Combs was one of the greatest men i have ever known. A true patriot a man of service to the people of oklahoma. May God Bless him.

Dan Combs was a friend of my father, Neal Knox. I saw him give a demonstration that included a Thompson at a bench rest rifle match around 1975. Remarkable man. Glad to see that the Dan Combs heritage is being preserved.

Old School! Hard as a rock.

He would have been fired in today’s age.

Is he bump firing the revolver at 2:30 ?

Saw this guy in the early sixties in Junior Exhibition Assembly.

I, and my family, are on your side, Sir, and on the side of all good lawmen. And may I say, Sir, this is one of the best presentations I have seen in a very long time.

The confidence and credibility that comes from field experience. Well presented and interesting talk. Initially was going to listen to the first few minutes ...but the opening was too well done Not to watch and listen all the way through. Thanks for sharing this Clip !

Love this! OHP continues to the best in the nation!

Gets shot in back....

That man does not mince words.

This is fast. No speed holster used like the pro shooters use.
