\"FINAL-COVER-SMALL-201x300\"<\/a>There are a number of opinions on, and names for, the Mozambique Drill. Some call it the failure drill, some call it the body armor drill, and some consider it a standard threat response. Just the same, some train with it at three yards, others at five yards, and some at even greater distances<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the drill requires you to deliver two fast shots center mass, followed by a more precision shot. This necessitates you get control of your shot cadence, under the pressure of time. No one will argue that is not a good skill to have.<\/p>\n

The Mozambique Drill is one of the training \/ evaluation drills covered in my book, Handgun Training for Personal Protection<\/a>. This video covers how you can use it as part of your defensive handgun training routine. It also mentions a great carry load for the .45 ACP from Doubletap<\/a>; the one that I rely on in my Nighthawk Custom<\/a> Commander.<\/p>\n

Handgun Training for Personal Protection can be purchased direct from the Gunsite ProShop<\/a>\u00a0and is available for Kindle at Amazon.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
