I’m an engineer. To save us both time, let’s just assume I’m not wrong.

I talk to myself because, at times, I require advice from an expert.

We are all just one PBR away from being white trash and in trouble.
I might have to re up my panteo subscription.

Sounds familiar... I have mentioned and challenged that "snatch back" BS I see guys do in my classes.
The first time I allowed pistol transitions in class I had to stop class and address the same issues... pulling the pistol back off target, failure to maintain DF, failure to acquire a secondary sight picture, and failure to access the target. Seeing Mac address this tells me I've received good training because that's how I was trained...
Lawrence has a video of it but I would not let him post it because I was a dick about it... sorry to the guys I chastised that day. In fact, I had to address it this past weekend with a couple shooters.

LOL Bob, I remember like it was yesterday, Don't feel bad about it, that's why you are donig this, to teach. Is better to be corrected now and not make mistakes later. I also remember all the PVC stands that were destroyed that day, I'm guilty of that too. lol By the way.... I would pay good money to watch that video.
I think this is a symptom of the 180° range. Instructors want to come up with a way for people to scan left and right but didn't want them to most sweep the whole line and doing the process. What we came up with was basically a generation with the training scar

Maybe the head turn... but the tacticool pistol pullback? Where the heck did that come from? It's like some shooters who assume position SUL instead of a good low ready.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do the "tactical pullback." As far as going to close ready, "position 3" or Sul (where did that even come from?) as opposed to a proper low ready, the jury is still out for me. I'm going to run a few drills, and probably put a few C4 victims through them as well to see if there is any speed or accuracy advantage. It's something some co-workers and I have been discussing. I may start a thread.
I don't think its supposed to be an alternative to low ready. Its a transitional point from low ready back to holster. I've dealt with threats I know, I don't want to muzzle sweep anyone as I scan my six for other threats, but I don't want to go all the way back to the holster.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Position SUL started with this guy:

I agree with the three purposes... as well as the modified SUL for vehicle ops.

We did 360 sweeps after courses of fire. Went to Sewell so that we didn't cap anybody.
