LEO Close Quarters Battle – Handgun Skills

A small percentage of LEO’s are killed every year with their own weapon.  In very close encounters known as Close Quarters Battle (CQB) type engagements with the assailant, officers can be disarmed rather easily if they do not possess the skills to hang onto their handgun.  Officers have been and will continue to be disarmed while the handgun is in the holster.  Security type holsters have made this more difficult, but far from impossible.  This is the very reason that all officers should possess skills that enables them to protect the gun while it is in the holster and while the gun is in hand.

LEO Tactical Shotgun Skills

The 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot is the most devastating close quarters weapon system on the planet.  With a single press of the trigger, nine .33 caliber pellets race toward the intended target with lots of bad intentions.  Typically, when we fire a handgun or a rifle round we are depending on the round to mushroom or fragment and cause a more serious wound channel in the human body.  The 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot is sending a pre-fragmented round at the bad guy at over 1,100 feet per second.  When the 00 buckshot slams into the targeted criminal, the affect is awesome.
