Awesome read. Thanks.

This was a great post, brownie, one that I had forgotten about from back in 2009 right about the time I joined the Forum. Agent Bryce must have been a heck of a guy, one who would have been great to share a good steak and a good beer with for dinner and listen to his stories.

I owe my life, and my love for SD handgun shooting to another Special Agent with the FBI, SA Jim LaGrone. Between the combination of SA LaGrone and Sgt. James Fernandez of Montgomery P.D.'s Police Academy, I could have had no better mentors in this field. I owe my life to both of them. In fact, now that I think of it, I owe my children's life to both of these men. Without their astute instruction and insight, I may not have made it out of my rookie year, and our children therefore wouldn't have been born.

There is no telling how many people that Agent Bryce touched or affected in his time with the Bureau.

Cheers y'all,
Ken

Brownie, thanks for posting this and for bringing back this great thread. I don't know how i missed it the first time. I can't imagine having Jelly's skills and I have to wonder what was the last thought those BG's had when they thought they had the jump on him only to receive a round between the eyes so fast they literally didn't know what hit them.

Speed and hits under pressure have won the day for several modern day gunfighters like Bryce and Jordan. Those who believe a fast draw stroke isn't that important wouldn't be arguing that point with either one of them. Notice how it mentioned he'd practice for hours in front of a mirror with the draw stroke and speed? It was worth his time and effort obviously [ Jordan did the same thing for hours on end as well ]. :thumsup

Thanks for the read Brownie. Stories like this one shouldn't fade away.

I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing, Brownie. It inspired me to setup a practice area in my garage. Eventually I may put up a mirror like it mentioned in the article, but for now I’ll lay down a nice rubber mat in case I toss my M&P across the room :grin

Glad you enjoyed the information :thumsup

Reminds me of the old 'cops and robbers' movies done in black and white.

The 'Copper' was always in a business suit/tie and hat and many times had an overcoat.

It doesn't take much imagination to put those images into that story. THAT is what made that the incredible read it is!

If you want to be really good at any thing at all, it takes dedication and commitment in time and sacrifice.

Then you find incredible natural talent and the phrase 'Legends are born, not made!' comes to mind.

so often the truth is even better then fiction!

With a properly mounted holster, concealed, your chance of accurate first round hits, in the right place goes up really rapidly.

Me personally, find I hit much better to hit on the draw stroke, than starting holding the pistol in my hand.

The punch draw is big help in that also.
