^^^^I don't think I would have ejected him from the class. Can't learn that way. Maybe it would have been better for the trainer to stop him, unload the gun, reholster and go to a different lane to work on the basics a bit.
If the guy started spewing crap then the day is over for him.
This was a fail for the trainer as well as the trainee, in my opinion.
There is good reasons why the serpa is banned from many training classes. It is not a good holster, and it is not safe to use a holster that is proven to not work if any muck gets in it.
As much as I think the Serpa is not a good holster for this reason.
In the slow motion of the video, he puts his finger back on the trigger (lack of trigger discipline).
As much as it pains me to say it
A competitive shooting environment (USPSA, IDPA, Multigun etc.) with competent range officers will build a much safer shooter (over time), than many of the training classes I have seen on video.
That of course is with a student/shooter who has some basic handling skills.
I believe the sentiment is competition will get you killed in the streets

December 10th, 2016 at 12:47 pmYou aren’t supposed to put your finger on the trigger or disengage the thumb safety until your sights are on target, and you also are not supposed to put your hand in front of the muzzle. This would have been a near miss with any firearm, let’s not get into the GLOCK! vs. 1911 stuff again. P.S. your gun sucks, you chose the wrong caliber, and you are most definitely holding it wrong.
What was his left hand doing out there?
I wonder if he's carried with a round in the chamber before, it almost looks like he goes to rack the slide with his left hand.
I think about the famous BlackHawk Serpa incidents where many people inadvertently shot themselves (not just TEX) Would those firearms have discharged if they were a P226? Or a 92F? Or a DAO revolver?
holding someone at gun point.
I realize that your POV is police action, I just want to ask, under what circumstances is it ever legal for an unsworn civilian to hold anyone.
That's how he rolls Holmes!!! He's so badass tacticool that he'll blow his own hand off just to show he's not afraid to shoot yours! He's BADASS!!!!
I think the difference is in the definition of "hold". If some thug comes at you with a knife and you take aim and say "drop it, don't move", that's probably acting with extreme restraint let alone being legal. If he turns and runs, a LEO MIGHT get some lee-way over shooting a fleeting armed criminal. You won't.I realize that your POV is police action, I just want to ask, under what circumstances is it ever legal for an unsworn civilian to hold anyone.
Sure, sure, it looks cool, but it isn't cool. It's stupid, reckless and foolish.
Don't point a gun at yourself no matter what movie you watched.
