Double Tap (Hammer Pair) - Why NOT to use it.

I was taught the Double Tap (Hammer Pair) when in the Marine Corps infantry. Here is a better method I have recently adopted.

Totally agree. Mechanical speed is a valuable training tool, it really helps with examining recoil management, but real life does have a requirement for shot accountability, especially in varying legal jurisdictions.

Reactive vs predictive shooting. Target focused and train your distances, predictive is just as accurate once you get good at it. At 15-20 yards you start to shift from predictive to reactive, ie wait to confirm sight picture.

While I don't disagree with that fully, this video and advice was made with people who are newer to shooting in mind. Doing what you're talking about takes a lot of training and experience.

My big issue with it is, where do you live? I'm not actually asking, it's rhetorical, but I live in Illinois. I've been through a fair amount of firearm training at this point, and have serious concerns if I fire a shot due to the nature of training not to confirm sight picture, while an attacker is already crumpling or has maybe begun indicating a loss of aggression, that I'm going to be prosecuted. I know the prosecutors here aren't everywhere, but many folks really hope to use the minimal force necessary to stop the threat as well. CSAT has a drill that runs 5 alpha hits, 1 head hit in 3 seconds and I run that all the time. It's great for recoil management. But I try to make sure I follow it up with controlled pairs and triples to ensure I'm not just laying down lead out of habit. There's also the issue of multiple attackers and shooting economy. Training to fire only the number of rounds necessary and not one more, as quickly as one can do so, leaves more rounds for any buddies that decide to start poking their heads out. I personally believe shot economy is king, especially when carrying concealed and the time to reload starts to lengthen a bit. Yeah, you can train that in particular to still be fast, but there is no fast enough in my book, and a round in the chamber is worth 5 in an unloaded magazine. Yeah, lots of opinion in there, so if you have a counter point I look forward to reading it. My opinions are always open to change.
