Have a question for Dale Comstock? Get it answered!

Hey Hotlists Members!

We have Dale Comstock (retired U.S. Army Special Forces Operator) flying into our studio this week to shoot some instructional material for a very exciting new product that we’ve kept under the wraps during the research and development phase. I really can’t talk about it yet, but I think you all will be very interested in it once it is launched. And of course, you guys will be the first to hear about it.

Anyways, I wanted to give you guys a chance to ask Dale some questions while we have him at our studio for a few days. I hope we’ll have some downtime where we can do a nice interview and let him answer a few questions from the hotlist.

If you do have a question for Dale please leave it in the comments section below. We will be picking a few of our favorites and have them answered. We’ll post the answers in a future post. Looking forward to your responses.

Take Care!

P.S. Thank you for all the responses from the previous awareness/suicide post. I was a bit hesitant to share the story since this topic can be very sensitive. However, based on the overwhelmingly positive response we’ll be doing more of these real-life stories in the future. We truly appreciate our Hotlist and are very proud that we rarely have negative or trashy comments like some other sites. You guys are top-notch and we hope you feel the same about us.

  4. Talked to a Houston police officer last week about what he uses as his primary pistol. He said the police force is moving from the Glock 40 cal. to the 45 cal. 1911 with the larger magazine (greater than 10 rounds).

    I would like to know more about this weapon, especially the greater capacity magazine. What do you think about this weapon?

  5. Thinking as a minimalist, living in a small motor home where space is at a premium, what would your recommendations be for self defense? Talk firearms, ammo, knives and gear in a scenario where the vehicle had to be abandoned or at least disabled and single person pack out was the only option. Keep in mind the person is older but wiser in the ways of combat.

  10. Suppose you live in a VERY gun controlled country,as I do in Europe. And you want somthing for home defence in firearms but your choices are limited to.
    double barrel shotguns or three shot pumps ,semis. Mostly bolt action rifles, most easiest being .22.semi auto .22s like the ruger 10/22 are available.
    Handguns are pretty much a no no in any caliber above .22 and must be limited to 5 shots.Forget anything you would have in the US in custom handguns,custom equipment, etc.Semi auto rifles are around but are virtually impossible to liscense,however lookalikes in pump or straight pull bolt action can be got if you have silly money to spend like 2 thousand dollars.
    What would a SF guy choose out of that mess?

  13. Greetings Dale!
    I am a healthy and fit 65 year old woman, and anywhere I live, I am alone. I used to shoot guns with my brother when we were younger, and was a pretty fair shooter. So my question is, what type of gun/pistol would you recommend I buy for protection? Also, are there any effective self defense tactics an elderly person can use if a situation arises? Do you have any books on the subject matter? Thank you for your time, and more importantly, thank you for your service to our country!

    Sincerely,
    Victoria Harris

  14. My question to Dale is, sometimes, when I step out, I over load, this situation hasn’t occurred but i think about it often, what I mean by overload is I’ve been a hand gun carrier for better than fifty years, since my law enforcement days from ’65 to last September, yep 50 years, well anyway, I also carry a heavy duty quick open jack knife, being right handed I carry both on the right side, in the heat of combat i think in my own mind that what if I grab the wrong weapon, go for the gun and get the knife, man I sweat over that, either way could be fatal given the situation, problem is I don’t want to give up either weapon and at my age of early 70’s if I hesitate, and try to think about it I lose valuable time, at my age time is not on my side, any suggestions?

  16. In hand to hand combat, what is your favorite method of penetrating the enemy’s defense to then KO him?

  19. Hi Dale, Being that my wife and I are senior citizens, it is very difficult for us to be able to use your methods to protect ourselves. I have protection at home but when we are out and about here in New Jersey, we are just victims waiting to be victimized. What do you suggest that older citizens can do to protect ourselves since we can’t carry CCW? I won’t say I’m totally unprepared but it seems to me they only defense would be to roll over and play dead. What can we do?

  22. Could Dale do a segment on taking down multiple opponents armed with knives, sticks, etcetera? Also, instruction on how to handle surprise knife attacks would be nice. Thanks.

  24. As a 69 year old in fair health with CC permit. What can I really do to protect my wife and myself against what seems to be the end of our country as it once was. I really don’t think a gun or any other self protection item is the answer against a number of thugs or the fall of our great land. What can I do to give myself the peace of mind that was once had. I am a believer in God where I do get some peace, but I think He would want me to do more.
    Any suggestions?

  27. Dale; Brother, first I want to thank you not just for your service but for making these survival secrets available to people like my self and other
    vets like me. I am a disabled vet and am stuck in a wheelchair or scooter every time I go anywhere, I constantly feel like the easiest target
    outside of my dwelling due to the legs not being up to many of the moves or throws. Can you advise me on some moves to protect myself
    from potential threats. If I were grabbed from behind in an armed bar I don’t have much defense capability’s to get away much less get out
    of the hold.

  28. Dear Dale,
    PROBLEM #1 – I have a house with not only a long window right beside the front door, but just regular front and back doors that could easily be kicked in. Is there anything I can do that it not ridiculously expensive to fix this problem?
    PROBLEM #2- I need to fix this problem in such a way that it does not make the house look ugly. (I’m pretty sure this part will be key to convince the little woman this is a good idea)
    Here in Canada I we are so very grateful for the USA. We are thankful our country is free, and the USA has made this possible. I am very grateful for patriots like you. Thanks very much Dale.
    Sincerely,
    Brandon

  29. What is the best way for a handicapped person to defend themselves? Also, I have a bad back and knee, what’s the best way for me to protect myself at home?

  31. Guns, – Is penetration or knockdown power better in a firearm? It seems to be debated quite a bit from what I read online….

    Knives – Are some knives better than others for long term use without upkeep?

    Ammo – how long can ammo be stored and can it ever go “bad”?

    Home Protection – other than just locking the doors how do I make my home an unattractive target?

    Survival Tactics. – There are many courses out there and its difficult to find one that isn’t too expensive or difficult to vette for quality (after all anyone can write a review) are there any you know of which are worth the money?

    Self Defense – What would be the easiest and most effective self-defense system to learn that would be effective no matter how old or in shape a person was?

    Early Warning Systems – Can you recommend any low-cost systems for the home or campsite, and how to raise a person’s own situational awareness in a short time frame?

  32. Dale, my name is Paul and my question is what do you consider to be the best home defense weapon for protection against home intrusions . By the way thanks for your defending our nation. I served 16 years in Marine Force Reconnaissance. 1970 to 1985. Again Dale thanks for your time.

  34. Do you know of a monitored home security system that you think is worth the cost and hastle factors?

    What is your EDC knife and why did you choose it?

  35. Hi dale
    In your opinion do you think that we will ever be in a situation in the UK or USA , when we need to use these skills to ensure our families and friends have a safe future, ie when the system and governments break down.

  37. Hi Dale;
    If you encounter some whack job with a knife would you recommend using a chair or some appropriate piece of fairly large furniture to use as a battering ram to subdue the attacker? I have seen Bas Rutten use a chair on an antagonist but Rutten was a trained MMA fighter and I am wondering if this would be a good move for an older person with less athleticism?The chair could be used to drop the aggressor by smashing it over his or her head or fending off knife thrusts.Still your input would be appreciated.Also, what is your take on Dim Mak? I have seen blows administered to the back of the head around the occipital region and I am told that you can easily kill someone with sufficient force.Instead of killing,unless it is necessary,is there any methodology possible that will just stun the antagonist when aiming for the “Fu Feng” area…a cupped hand behind the ear maybe…? And finally I have studied your takedown on Fight Tips and it is quite beneficial.My third question focuses on adrenalization in the body.How do you personally,combat adrenalization,in a Close combat situation.

  38. What would be a good in house self defense weapon gun and or knife? I have a friend who carries a Rambo style knife and a Desert Eagle in 50cal. I like the knife, quick and silent. Not sure about the Eagle. What would you suggest and does Fast Fight have a knife like that? Thanks.

  42. Mr Comstock
    I am a 50 year old male paraplegic that was in an accident 23 years ago. I’ll spare you the details of my accident but it’s important to let you know one issue that I had to fight. I was on a ventilator for six months and in rehab another six months. When I was finally done with the hospital’s and needed to get an attorney to help me and I was hit with a 2by4 when I heard the comment “you can onlside. eL the federal government for $100,000.00 and not one penny more. That said I am permanently confined to a wheelchair and have zero use of anything below my belly button. I had my first of three assults against me the first time I took my two kids out by myself. I wasn’t carrying my side arm at that time because I wasn’t confinate enough that I could get my gun out and safely use it without them killing me and possibly my kids. Luckily the attack against me was a gang annitiation by a group of 7 thugs. I was knocked out of my wheelchair and better so bad that my face was a bloody mess, I had 5 broken ribs and internal bleeding in my stomach. Fast forward 23 years I carry my firearm EVERYWHERE I go. I am certain that if I need to use it I can put a bullet exactly where I want it. I keep my gun in a serpa holster that keeps my gun at the ready without being able to pull it from my holster by anyone but me. I have practiced using my gun in a range and also at an outdoor area of a friend’s where I could have my heart rate extramly elivated so that I know I can use it if the time comes that I need to.
    My concern and where I need help is how do I protect myself in confined spaces where shooting isn’t really possible to do so without possibly hitting someone else? I have no trunk muscle left and my shoulders and elbows are waring out quickly. What is the best way for me to get an attacker off of me and what do you recommend for a security system for my home? I am not interested in anything that you can look at your phone and see someone in my home because if I can access the monitors so can other people. Last of all it’s obviously not feasible for me to build a bugout somewhere. What do you recommend I do as far as storing firearms, ammunition and food storage including life straws a complete first aid kit that has everything you need from bandaids to ointments, burn cream, sterile pads, sutures with everything necessary to clean, numb and sow or glue together, medications and a kit that has everything I need to do repairs to my guns. I need advice on how and where to store these things..
    Thank you in advance for reading this and for any ideas you have to help me.
    God bless you and all those with fight fast.

  46. Hey Dale ,
    Can you provide me a 10 minute daily exercise / defense ready drill so I can stay sharp.
    Possibly 2 sets so I can change it up to stay interested. I would add this to my morning routine .
    Thanks

  50. Hello Dale! First, thank-you for helping to keep us safe everyday!
    Q: I have long hair. What should I do if someone yanks it from behind? Where should I hit that person to “convince” them into letting go or at least forcing them to loosen the grip?
