Louis Awerbuck Training Videos

Via WRSA, Louis Awerbuck has passed away. In honor of his life, I am posting these two training videos.
I find that Louis was a very good teacher, making use of repeat instruction to help the student and without any attitude or condescension at all. This is the mark of a wise instructor.
As for his recommendations for use of pistol and tactical light in opposing hands, I no longer do that unless I have to. I had to perform room clearing on a house recently, involving a lot of rooms, and as you know I shoot .45 ACP and I happened to be holding an XDm .45 with double stack 13 round magazine (my 1911 would have been even heavier because of the frame and 5.25 inch barrel).
By the time I was finished, I noticed that my single hand holding the pistol was exhausted (I was gripping the pistol in one hand, tactical light in the other). Additionally, by using one hand you give up the stability of the two-handed grip. I now use an attached tactical light when I can (although this also had disadvantages such as the need to use a holster that can carry both).
