Yeah, no need to get worked up when the shooter doesn't even know you're there because you are one, 180yards away and two, he (the shooter) is too busy actively engaging other LEO's down an ally-way.

For anyone complaining about the casual approach by this officer, from the time he sets his coffee on the dash (a nice touch, I thought), to the time he down the shooter, was 30 seconds. Mistakes happen when panic sets in. This man has done this before...a confident professional.

[@xenn4985]

Something about slow is smooth and smooth is fast but bridging the gap is a bad forecast.

[@CJ-ty8sv]

Not to mention, it helps that the shooter didn't even know he there because of the distance and also because he (the shooter) was too busy engaging other LEO's down an ally-way. Flanking the shooter gave him (the LEO) a major upper hand, especially given that his fellow LEO's had already been exchanging rounds with the dude for about 15 minutes at that point.

I worked in LE and SWAT for 28.5 years. I had the pleasure and privilege of working with some of the finest SWAT guys from LAPD and LASD SEB. This so reminds me of the "ole heads" body language. I've seen the veteran SWAT guys in the worst situations, and high risk warrants never break a sweat, yell or panic in any way. They we're always ice cold as if it was another day at the office. When I was young, and working with them it was stunning to see how calm cool and collected they were. Most these guys were 20 years older than me at the time and in top mental and physical condition. Some had been in access of 20 shootings and hundreds of warrants. Some of the guys were near 50 and still holding it down. This guy is that level

[@beentheredonethat5908]

This is where training and experience is key. The first teaching of firearm safety should be how to handle stress , to detach from the moment. I've seen guys in active shooter and ambush situations calm, cool, almost mechanical, then afterwards it hits them hard, but in danger they are freaking monks. I've never reached that level, I still have emotional reactions, not that stop me from working, but the end goal is to be this guy, truly amazing. He is most definitely the guy I'd want at point or behind me in combat, forget being a cop, he's a soldier and warrior, he should be teaching at this stage ,pass his mental and situational experience down, I'd definitely go and take classes from him, I can shoot and I have great situational skill, its kept me alive so far, but what he has is a gift and if he can teach that, he is a treasure to both Americans and his department.

Talk is cheap, but ammo is expensive. Incredible shot. That's an officer who know's his zero and can guage distance accurately. About the rifle/carbine in the trunk that's very true.

[@angrydingus5256]

Gotta say though, that's still some serious skill and ability to work under pressure. There are other videos out that make the suspects shots sound much clearer. This officer was taking bullets wizzing by him as he calmly got out, strolled to his trunk, chambered his rifle, and fired 1 single shot. Turns out the "bad guy" was hit 2 times. One from a barage of bullets from one of the first responding officers with a carbine, which I'm a bit surprised wasn't covered in this video. But Donut Operator did a breakdown that has better audio and I believe 3 separate badge cams if you're interested

[@DoglinsShadow]

3:00 If there is anything I’ve learned in my life it is truly that slow is fast and fast is slow. When you rush you make mistakes. You fumble. You trip. You forget. This is an excellent demonstration or carefully and deliberately progressing forward step by step. Had he RAN out of his vehicle and aggressively tried to get to his gun, his aim may not have been as steady. He may have fumbled with the weapon. Instead he ensured every action was done correctly in reasonable time. Being accurate is more important than over rushing and fumbling the shot. Excellent video and display. Would love this officer on my team in the end of the world.

Great breakdown, one correction though. You said his sling was a single point sling, it appears to be a 2 point, QD'd to the lower receiver backplate and to the left side of the handguard, closest to the upper receiver. It does appear to be a GMRS sling. I believe they only make a quick adjust 2 point, with an optional 1 point triglide add-on. Their Hydra mount is very well built too. Its especially nice on something with limited rail space, like a sig rattler.

He has a 2pt sling, you can see it when he takes it out & charges it. As for the empty chamber yes that is standard practice for LEO usually both from training & policy (called cruiser ready). It goes back to the shotgun days where they can go off if bumped, however a long gun is stored & deployed from a patrol car you can't guarantee it is pointed in a safe direction at all times so the chamber is kept empty until it's in your hands.

Hey Mike, well done, short and sweet! "Sometimes slow is slow" was priceless... I think Dude actually had a two point sling, you could see his QD mount on the left side rail and rear receiver, but no big deal.

Mike, what are your thoughts about when to switch a rifle (AR-15) from safe to fire and back to safe during a CQB scenario? Is it really as simple as gun up-fire, gun down-safe, in all scenarios? I appreciate you stressing the importance of not “putting the gun to sleep” , or not putting the muzzle down and away from the threat, when the situation is still active, and It seems like needlessly going back and forth between safe/fire (and possibly forgetting that the weapon is on safe) could get confusing and prove dangerous when shots on target are needed immediately. Would also like to know if you’ve heard of different schools of thought on this subject and your take on it.

[@xxtomcatxx]

After enough training it’ll be muscle memory to know that anytime you’re moving or have your rifle pointed away from the threat or direction of fire you’ll switch to safe and as soon as you’re ready to fire again you switch to fire. It’s good practice.

[@bobbys4327]

Hey Mike, does the 50-200 yrd zero still hold with an optic mount that high (at 2.91in)?

[@skycountrymusic]

The mount isn’t going to change the flight trajectory

[@JohnSmith-yx8kf]

No, it doesn’t. You’d have to check your ammo/HOB/velocity in a calculator and then actually go confirm it. The “50/200” thing is a very rough estimate that shouldn’t be relied upon, especially with these higher mounts.

[@JohnSmith-yx8kf]

@@skycountrymusic Yes it is. A standard lower 1/3 mount has a HOB of about 2.8”. The Hydra has a HOB of over 4”. If you zero both of those at 50 yards, the Hydra setup’s bullet meets the point of aim at 50y at a steeper angle than the lower 1/3rd’s does, and so it’ll climb higher as it goes beyond 50, and quite a *lot* higher.

[@skycountrymusic]

@@JohnSmith-yx8kf makes sense I didn’t know that interesting

[@JohnSmith-yx8kf]

@@skycountrymusic Yep, zeros are more complex than people think, but thankfully there’s a ton of calculators out there that you can plug your numbers into to get a rough estimate of what your round will do. All it takes is maybe adjusting from 50y to maybe a 55y or 60y zero and you reduce that extra climb again. Personally I like to keep it at +3” of climb or under, and you can usually get point of aim out to 250-300y with that, which is really nice if you’re running a dot/closer range setup.
