If you carry a handgun, you need to practice and practice and practice some more. Practice the draw - clearing clothing, getting a good grip on the gun, drawing the gun smoothly, pointing the gun, proper trigger action, reflex response...to mention a few.
The sub-title of the DVD is "Dry Fire Trainning System". Dry firing often using snap caps and / or laser inserts is key to learning proper techniques.
Lenny demonstrates 5 methods of drawing the gun from concealed carry. He introduces the use of 4 accessories for safe dry fire practice - gun mounted laser pointer, snap caps to practice squeezing the trigger with sights aligned, rubber bullets without powder (only primers) to test shots on paper targets, and a timer to develop a sense of timing reflex response. The end of the DVD provides references for purchasing the items demonstrated.
I also recommend the Laserlyte Laser Target Training System in conjunction with Laserlyte Cartridge Laser Trainer. The Cartridge is caliber specific and fits into the chamber of your handgun. Very important as this set up let's you practice with the holster and handgun you carry. The Laser Trainer Target gives the shooter visual feedback. To use the Laser Trainer Target simply aim at the target and dry fire the weapon with the LaserLyte Cartridge Laser Trainer. The hits briefly display. To display all impacts, fire the laser at the red display circle on the face of the Laser Trainer Target. To reset the target dry fire the laser at the red reset circle to begin again with a fresh target. This training system can be purchased at MidwayUsa.com.
The DVD is 75 minutes in duration. Much of the DVD is repetition and this is done intentionally. The message is driven home -- Practice over and over if mastery is to be attained. Lenny demonstrates a draw. He could then say "do this fifteen tmes" but he doesn't say it; he does it. Each time adding a reminder concerning one or more key points in the process. It's a great visual aid to use as you practice with him. The "9 Minute Workout" is a real workout and if you do it along with Lenny, you will be tired. One of the best lines is (I paraphase): "Does your arm hurt? Good! it's supposed to!"
This DVD is an excellent holiday present for your loved one who carries or plans on carrying a handgun.
