LMS Defense: Bad Breath Pistol

LMS Defense recently announced a new training course: Bad Breath Pistol. It is to be held on March 26th in Sacremento and will focus on the importance of training at a distance of 3 yards or less.

Here’s a bit more about it.

Though it is important to train at distances of 15 yards and greater, statistics bring gunfighting occurrences at a much closer distance. Approximately 90% of gunfights occur from contact to 15 feet where approximately 40% of those were from contact to just 3 feet. This course focuses on rapidly clearing your holster and effectively delivering rounds utilizing alternate sighting methods at those close distances.
Prerequisites: Pistol 1 or equivalent course from a reputable training provider.
Equipment List:
Handgun
3 magazines
Magazine pouches
Holster
Round count: 400

LMS Defense was founded in 2008 by John Chapman, Josh Jackson, and Troy Price. It is a coordinated group of professional weapons and tactics instructors. They provide training to concerned citizens as well as law enforcement and special tactics teams. They perform product development, product testing and evaluation(T&E), private consulting, and even various international instruction for U.S. allied countries.

In their own words.

We consider our cadre of instructors to be one of the best in the industry, with varied backgrounds across law enforcement, military, and private contracting. Despite their extensive backgrounds, our instructors continue to hone their craft by continually evaluating new techniques and equipment as well as training with other top industry instructors. Our students appreciate the fact that our course material is ever evolving – as it should be – as the real world evolves so should our courses.
LMS Defense is also unique in that we are one of a very few companies which can train internationally. Our instructors have provided advanced weapons and tactics training to police and military forces to U.S. allied governments with a long track record of success.

In addition to training, LMS also provides product development and test and evaluation (T&E) services. We routinely evaluate new products from top manufacturers of rifles, flashlights, ammo, armor, and nylon gear. Contact us today if you have a project you think we could help with.
