One of my message board members, Catnip48, emailed me this video link, with the comments, “Not sure what to think of this. Doesn’t seem like falling to the ground to engage a close range threat would ever be a good idea but on the other hand what if you fell or were pushed to the…

This is an absolutely excellent workout. I know what I’m going to be doing during my next range session. And every range session thereafter for the foreseeable future.

The next issue of Dillon’s Blue Press will feature my review of the Heckler & Koch VP9.
