Not to get preachy, but if the <1% of the population that are 'bad' preclude the rest from being allowed to see the magical techniques, shouldn't the same <1% of police that are bad also preclude all police from learning them?
Mr. Castle's specialty must not be logic. Should change his name to Commander Caste.

So I looked at his website, and his online videos. I see him use a point shooting technique really fast. I am not seeing what his hits look like (all the targets are pre-shot) and I am not seeing any shooting from more than a few feet away.
I am not calling BS, because I don't have any exposure to these techniques, but my big question is what is the problem that 'center axis relock' is supposed to be solving?

It is the first system for gun fighting first and not target shooting. Paul is the fastest most accurate person I have ever seen out of a stock holster. Just the retention and shooting from inside a vehicle techniques are an easy sell to anyone who goes in harms way.

Funny how peope who have never been through the course know so much about it. Wish I could not about stuff without doing it or seeing it. Would same me a lot of time.
The system looks very simple & with basic principles....Hold gun close to center of body (solid grip, consistant gun position & makes gun harder to take away), use body alignment to shoot at the BG's.
Seems like a natural way to shoot very fast & accurate when your in a "close combat" situation, where the sights on a gun aren't even seen by the shooter or used.

You know, one solution to said perceived problem would be to stop forbidding good citizens to learn it...

Don't see why they wouldn't teach civs with concealed carry licenses or something.

I'm just a layman, but in the TV episode I saw the weapon go out of battery when he was teaching the cops the technique. What has your experience been with that?

well...
...I tried the sit-ups/disassemble-reassemble...guts hurt fer' a week...
I didn't see anything in the show that indicated a gentle nudge with the muzzle...looked more like full-contact, fight fer' yer' life type strikes to me...
...'course I'm far-sighted...

Sure, but an out of battery pistol is now a club, until you can put it back into action. If someone is that close I think I'd prefer just to pull the trigger.

It is certainly *not* the 'first system for gun fighting first and not target shooting.' Consider the point shooting systems of WWII. The OSS had a system and target shooting wasn't it's focus.
In terms of speed and accuracy, the conventional method for evaluation is some variation of group size, round count, distance, and total time. While you could dismiss that as 'target shooting' without some kind of objective benchmarks it isn't science, it's religion.
I have not seen the vehicle and retention portions of the system so I can't comment. I do think that the 'secret knowledge' aspect of this system seems very shady.

I think the "system" is fairly straight forward. I had an interest in it at one time. Never got around to going to a session. I see that IPD is near me (CT) and the guy that teaches it is actually with my agency. I never contacted him about the training, I guess I should ask a few pointed questions in light of the feedback I'm seeing here!
