Quick Draw Theory for Self-Defense with Navy SEAL Toshiro "Tosh" Carrington

Former Navy SEAL, Toshiro "Tosh" Carrington, talks about the quick draw for self-defense.
We notice a lot of concealed carriers obsess over having a quick draw, so much so that the majority of their practice revolves around fast draw speed.
While having a really fast draw is a great tool to have in your toolbox (and we recommend everyone develop a fast draw), if you train for self-defense, there is so much more one should learn, practice, and obsess over rather than draw speed.
Getting your gun in the fight is important, and perhaps because of this, many shooters prioritize quick draws, or maybe because it looks cool on social media.
However, in many real-life incidents, criminals already have the jump on their victims, i.e. criminals may have a gun pointed at you already, while your gun is still concealed and holstered.
In these situations, it's unlikely that raw draw speed will help much. In fact, a child with gun who has no training whatsoever can shoot a concealed carrier dead before that person has a chance to draw.
When a criminal already has a gun drawn on you, the odds are in the criminal's favor. It's vital that concealed carriers think and train beyond having fast draws.
What can a concealed carrier do to change the situation and stack the odds in their favor? This will be a topic for another video.
For now, take this video as food for thought and evaluate your goals and your training.

Hey Jason, I wasn't trying to crush your sole.... That's not the point. Its more about where you need to focus your training. If you are training for competition you better believe you need to be fast. If you are training for personal defense then maybe the quick draw shouldn't be priority 1 in your training regiment. Thank you for your input it helps me analyze our content.

You will always be in disadvantage if you “draw from the drop”. As simple as it is. Your only way to create your own momentum is to somehow distract your aggressor and then hopefully be able to draw fast and shoot accurately. Easy to say but extremely difficult to do when your life is in jeopardy and at the same time you experience a “near death experience “ I just mention this from my own experience!

As a retired cop I do a lot of private security jobs now (what else does a semi handicapped retired cop do other than become a bartender or politician? ) I was doing a Thanksgiving and black Friday detail at a Best Buy. During a pre open coffee break a very young squared away city copper asked me what an old man with a cain would do in an emergency? How would I draw my weapon and shoot fast enough? I tossed my cain at his face. Obviously he threw up his hands and turned his head to avoid it. I said " Son, your just as dead as that cain is" "Remember old age and treachery will beat youth and inexperience 99% of the time " He grinned, picked up my cain handed it back and said "Old man, I'm working with you today " I see how you lived long enough to retire after 40 years on the job. The moral of this story is NEVER EVER QUIT. You have nothing to lose and everything to win.

You hit the topic of every gunfighter that ever watched a Hollywood western. Like Dirty Harry said, "do you feel lucky?" I was taught that when you are under a gun, the only real opportunity you have is if the person with the gun is distracted, you might be quick enough to present your own. Then it becomes a matter of training and luck...for both participants. Good topic.

@Valorius 2 жыл бұрын

One thing you can try to do is initiate a distraction. You can also try to appraise the guy pointing the gun at you. I have seen people just tell an attacker they're not going to comply, "Shoot me mfuker" and it worked. Not saying that will always work, it is a very dangerous game of chicken, but i've seen it done.

One reason training is super important is the fact that not all life threatening or potentially life threatening encounters are the same. Train smart, train hard and be a student of multiple disciplines. Good deescalation skills, having awareness of potential dangers and avoiding them will keep you and your family safe the overwhelming majority of the time. BUT, train so you have the ability and capacity to be extremely dangerous, should the need arise.

@jibb1451 2 жыл бұрын

I feel above all else situational awareness, and taking preventative measures will save more lives than guns in civilian involved incidents. Or at least help avoid more conflicts. If you are walking down the street and see someone strung out on drugs swinging their arms cussing... cross the street. Go the other way. You see someone shady walk into a store you're in who seems to be acting really weird? Maybe position yourself casually towards the back, where you can keep eyes at a distance without seeming strange, while pretending to look at some food product or something. Taking a second to look over your shoulder if you are walking around to see if someone is potentially following you around. ETC. It's a small thing really opening your eyes and watching the people around you but you'd be shocked what you start to notice if you haven't practiced this for a while consciously and deliberately.

@anonymouslee2083 2 жыл бұрын

In a situation where you are specifically targeted, where someone is trying to kill you, it's almost impossible to win that one without taking getting injured. Luckily, MOST criminals won't run right up and smoke you, so you can use purposeful compliance to find openings to take advantage of with skill, patience, and a little luck, so you're not completely drawing from the drop like you are in this simulation, which proves that you pretty much can't just straight-up draw from the drop without getting shot.

Would love a follow up on how to 'get the advantage'. One thinks of 'waiting your turn' advice from ASP. A fast draw is only one element of a self defence shooting, its when/if you can draw, and also being situationally aware so that you can put yourself in a tactically superior position/hand already on the gun/get the hell out of dodge. That all being said...I do sometimes carry a shrouded hammer J frame in my big jacket pocket, walking with my hand on my gun (resting naturally) no pocket holster (nothing else in the pocket of course) and was wondering "could I beat the draw" presented in this video, as there is no draw it's just point shooting through the pocket. But that's a very specific scenario. Still...beat the draw by not drawing, just shooting.

I myself am currently an active peace officer . I unfortunately was involved in a fatal shooting where quick draw came into play. My only advantage was the suspect drew a concealed sawed off shotgun from his waist. I was able to draw from a level 3 retention holster and fortunately for me and my partner , I was able to beat him to the punch. I fired a single head shot that instantly ended the threat. I always have believed in muscle memory training and believe me. It makes all the difference in a kill or be killed situation. If you would like to see the video of my incident it’s on KZfaq of course . The shooting took place in Dilley Texas in 2018 and is listed as officer involved shooting in Dilley Texas.

First instinct should be to run away as fast as you can, preferably at a slight angle to the threat. It become exponentially harder to hit you at 10 yards compared to 5, or 15 yards compared to 10, etc. Most people can make 10 yards of distance every 1.5 seconds. Hopefully and it's likely that they will hesitate to take the first few shots and if they shoot they will be off target. After you make some distance you can run around the corner of a building. There you can peek around the corner and pop them or find concealment to be ready to hit them when they round the corner, or run around the building to the other side to peek out and get an angle behind them

This is so valuable and absolutely true. When my "down and dirty " situation ended with multiple armed robbers, the paramedics measured my BP as 240/170 and lasted for a few hours even after medication. The doctor on scene was concerned that I could have a "stroke. Almost a year later I still get stressed anxiety for no reason despite therapy sessions at that time. Successful defense is definitely scenario dependent, what gets me mostly is what if the scenario was different, I have played out hundreds of variations of the same situation in my mind and always get stuck on, "what if" ? As a side note, I am a LEO and Commando Reserve veteran that just got lucky, there is no option but to never stop training even if only to provide that self assurance of being able bodied to hold the line.

If you get hit buy an aggressor's bullet, and you can draw your firearm, in some cases if you are still able, you should return fire. Never give up just because you got hit. This is definitely good stuff. On a related, but separate topic, I would like to see a video about the pros and cons of different types of concealed carry when being engaged physically. Too often videos on the benefits talk about pros and cons of different styles of concealed carry from ideal situations. Like this video, this should be explored under less than ideal, e.g. a physical tussle and or possibly getting taken to the ground before you can draw, or the aggressor is trying to take your gun before you can draw and you are having to defend and try and draw at the same time. This are the kinds of things I think about not just as a Marine, but as a former LEO as well.

We have a lot of SF and Devru guys that made it home from conflicts in the Middle East and you think they were never killed because of how amazing their skills and training were but if they actually got into close quarter fire fights with skilled adversaries, how many would actually come out alive? It’s just too dangerous and I think decades of fighting unskilled opponents have given us a false sense of confidence in what training can actually provide.

Great video guys, and what you guys are really starting to touch on is “combatives”. Have you guys done any work with Rogue Method or Shivworks? They do a lot of this “real world” muggings/assaults where you are always at the disadvantage and being ambushed... how to counter ambush and get to your tools to defend yourself as well has how to de-escalate to potentially stop the ambush and how to protect your tools so you don’t lose them in the scuffle. Also the other big one nobody thinks of... when you go to draw your gun, the bad guy will see you going for it and will simply reach out and grab it. That is why I don’t carry appendix anymore, doesn’t matter how fast you can draw if the bad guy can get his hands on it at the same time you do! 😱 plus there is no way to draw appendix from concealment to counter ambush while getting mugged unless you physically turn your back to the bad guy (which most ppl will never do). After doing a bunch of force on force scenarios I stopped carrying appendix. It’s just too difficult to get the gun in the fight when being mugged. But that’s just my experiences.

What this video proved to me was that if someone decides that they are going to murder you out of the blue with a ready firearm and zero warning, you cannot draw fast enough to stop them. Fortunately that is not how things go down in 99% of situations. In the vast majority of times, the bad guy has a firearm produced not to instantly murder you, but rather to compel your obedience. That is not to say they aren't willing to shoot, but their get away is faster if you hand them your wallet and keys (or whatever) than if they have to search your corpse. In those situations, you are looking for your opportunity, a moment of distraction from you by the bad guy. Deploying your firearm rapidly during that (hoped for) window of opportunity IS the situation for which you practice a fastdraw.

Hey Jason, we will be doing a couple follow up vids on this. I wanted to get people discussing this subject and analyzing their training and mindset. Thanks for your comment.

Great video! I do agree, though, that one should train to keep fighting through the initial contact. But I realize the video was done to illustrate the main point that you just can't win the draw part of the confrontation if you are waiting for the other guy to declare his status as a bad guy. Even if you decide to "jump the gun," so to speak, you still will have a hard time winning if his gun is already in his hand but just hidden.
