  • Center Axis Relock?

    I just saw a trailer for John Wick 2 on the Recoil website. The story about the sequel to the original John Wick movie mentioned "Center Axis Relock" and I got curious. I'm reading up on it now, but was wondering if anyone here has heard of this technique, or used it, or can provide some informative pros and cons about it.

    Edit: A more detailed explanation.

    THE CAR BENEFITS

    • Stability: Holding your weapon close to your body and is more stable than holding your firearms with your arms fully extended
    • Eliminates double vision: With the sights held close to your face at reading distance, it eliminates the double sight picture and promotes greater accuracy
    • Improves weapon retention: Holding the weapon close to your body makes it more difficult for an attacker to take it away
    • Can be used when seated: CAR is the best position when shooting from a car or any other seated position
    • Makes a smaller target: By presenting only one side your body to your attacker, it makes you harder to hit
    • Reduces recoil: Utilizing the body’s support structure in a natural way reduces felt recoil and helps you stay on target
    • Universality: CAR can be used regardless of your age, size, strength or gender
    • Speed: With your weapon close to your body, reloading and clearing stoppages is faster
    • Instinctive: CAR incorporates your body’s natural reactions
    DRAWBACKS

    There are drawbacks to Center Axis Relock. If you enter a room and you don’t know which side the bad guy’s on you may have to turn your entire body to face your target, which takes time you won’t have. The Modern Isosceles stance facilitates faster movement in this kind of situation giving you better reaction time. In an armed encounter, moving off the line between you and your attacker could also help you survive. The Isosceles method is superior to CAR here being more natural for shooting while moving.
