    You would be amazed at how many people take rounds in the arms. We would walk up on someone and gather around and marvel that there would be 10-20 rounds in their arms and hands. It’s because we aim center mass, and that’s where their arms are when they are shooting back at you. Same goes for us. They aren’t smart enough to know center mass, it’s just the easiest and largest target. It’s important to know how to do it, it’s important to be able to shoot non-dominant, and it’s just not important enough to expend much time or energy on it.

    It’s just so far down the rabbit hole when most people suck at shooting with both hands and no pressure of any kind.

    Truth.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Take it or leave it. Just another POV.
    Good tip, will try that, thanks.

    Good video with a direct, no B.S. approach to presenting the material.

    I also taught using the heel of the boot, the corner on a wall, the ground, etc. for a lot of years. You don't want to bring a pretty handgun to the course.
