The breathin' thing sounds good, but that is the last thing I thought of in a stress situation. I was huffin' & puffin' & shakin' afterward! No shot was taken or needed. I have been huntin' & shootin' for over 60 years, but that ain't nothin' like somebody breakin' in your house.

It only takes me two and a half seconds to empty my CM9. Who has time to breath?

I'm also a big advocate for breathing. I've been doing it all my life. :behindsofa:

I experienced no breathing issues during or after the one confrontation in which I had to use my sidearm. I was aware of the tunnel vision thing happening to me and the auditory shut down where the shots sounded no louder than popcorn popping. The little bit of adrenalin rush came after the action stopped.

Once a fellow took the screen off my bedroom window and started to enter.
As I reached for my gun a motion detector light went off and the guy bailed.
For some reason I was icy calm and relaxed.

Another time I had to fire my G27/40 in a small enclosed room.
The gunshot was strangely quiet almost like it was suppressed?
Weird.
I don't remember an adrenalin dump, although it must have happened.
It's strange, time slows down and everything seems surrealistic.

I can't say it's an enjoyable experience.
But I never panicked or had issues with breathing at all.
It seems like in extreme situations I tend to get very calm.
Same thing with the auto and motorcycle accidents I've been in.
Although I do remember that sometimes my legs may vibrate and twitch
after the fact.
