Anyone make the transition to the FIST-FIRE method?

How helpful are the DVDs? What i mean is, could I learn the basics and proper technique form them and then practice to become proficient?

Actually, we've been teaching off the DVD's in class lately... 

DVD-1 is entitled, "What we do and why we do it".

We give you lot's of shooting demonstrations and detailed explanations as to what it is we do and why we do it. The video clips you'll see here on DR TV came off DVD-1. They are about 20 minutes long. DVD-1 is 1 hour and 20 minutes long, so there's much more information and even more exciting shooting action.

DVD-2 is entitled, "How we do what we do" .

This is an actual teaching video. It too is 1 hour 20 minutes long and we take you right into some actual F-F classes.

While the videos do not replace the actual coaching you'd get from me or my certifed Fist-Fire Instructors, it's the next best thing to being there. We also have the Fist-Fire Book with 160 photo's on technique alone, which is a prerequiste for class.

Cheers,

D.R.

I am sold on the why you do. I just need to learn the how you do. i want to know the proper grip(s) and what I am looking at if not looking through sights. It sounds like DVD 2 is for me. Where can I get it?

BTW - Will it work with a Glock 23C? I noticed you used SA. The Glock trigger is not the best in the world and has tons of slack.

NO! You should never shoot from retention with a ported pistol!

You could get blinded from the blast going up under your eye glasses.

The Glock trigger is not a problem. Fist-Fire Instructor Rick Simes used a G19 and was Runner up (twice) behind Dave Sevigny at the IDPA Nationals...

D.R., has FIST-FIRE ever been written up, reviewed, or reported in any of the better gun magazines?

D.R., has FIST-FIRE ever been written up, reviewed, or reported in any of the better gun magazines?

It was first written up back on 2000 in Combat Handguns and then again in 2002 when the FIST-FIRE Book was published.  But it was a real hard sell at the time, the shooting industry just wasn't ready for it... 

So, I took a lot of criticism about it over the years (especially over the Internet).  Seemed like to the "Modern Technqiue" guys the very thought of "Point Shooting" was nothing short of heresy!    That and using shooting methods like the "Reverse Weaver" and "Reverse Chapman" are still considered blasphemous even today.   

But they can no longer deny the system works. We're getting good reports off the street and from the sand box (mainly because the Reverse Weaver rolls over so seamlessly to the M4 carbine). And we're seeing more and more Grand Master shooters using our grip and Surgical Shooting position everyday. That and point shooters are coming out of the woodwork everywhere lately.

So, I think FIST-FIRE's time has finally come. Book sales are sky rocketing and the DVD's are hard to keep in stock. 

Stay safe,

D.R.

Thanks. Do you happen to remember who wrote the Combat Handguns 2000 article? I have all issues from that time, but they're buried in storage and it will take me a while to dig it out.

DR, I went to website but failed to notice the whopping 30% (or was it 40%?) discount for DRTV viewers.   

Any combination pricing, like buy both videos and get free shipping or something?

Thanks.
