Now I see people doing this crap in all of these online videos, and you can tell they aren't checking their chambers because they're just trying to look cool.
There's also the little fake look around they do when they finish firing and prepare to put the weapon on safe or holster it. They fire a string off shots at their targets, then supposedly look left and right, and then safe their weapon. I would really like to see the vast majority of the folks who do that in a course where there may legitimately be targets moving around, and see how many miss it. Most of the time, it's just a stunt to look cool.
I'll stop there.
Both Costa and Haley still teach the search and assess in class, Costa still teaches the "silly mag flip".
Having taken courses from both in years past and this year again, I can tell you, its still relevant, not some gimmick.
