Shooting Ppl In The Leg & The Coonan .357 Magnum Review on NOIR | Ep. 16

About this video

Colion explores the difference between athletic shooting and tactical defensive shooting through training with former Navy SEAL Dom Raso, who puts him through high-stress drills combining physical exertion with concealed carry scenarios. Colion reflects on why shooting to stop a threat requires center mass hits rather than leg shots, explaining his view that movies create unrealistic expectations about accuracy under pressure. The episode also features Colion’s review of the Coonan 357 Magnum 1911 and stage eight of an ongoing shooting competition where he uses a Mossberg MVP bolt-action rifle.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that shooting for legs in self-defense is unrealistic because hitting moving targets under stress is extremely difficult, and leg wounds may not immediately stop a threat since the attacker’s hands still work.
• Colion demonstrates tactical defensive shooting concepts with Dom Raso, including shooting from retention, malfunction clearances, tactical reloads, and maintaining awareness after engaging threats—skills distinct from athletic competition shooting.
• Colion describes the Coonan 357 Magnum 1911 as having significant recoil but remaining shootable and reliable, calling it a viable platform beyond novelty despite the dramatic muzzle blast and felt recoil.
