- The “check” drill is one of my favorite drills to do on the range but it is only for those that have become safe and proficient in all of the sub-tasks involved with the drill. If you are not to that point yet, I suggest that you break down each task and deliberately train these things until you are comfortable with it (up drills, reloads, draw from holster, transition, re-holster, etc.).
If you try and tackle the more complex task all at once you could develop some bad habits inadvertently. So, go at a speed that allows you to consciously acknowledge the small movements and do them right (eg. trigger finger indexed, safely holster, placement of hand on rifle when going back to rifle, efficient movement based off of your sling/equipment set up etc.). Remember that Green Berets May have advanced training but the basis of everything we do is being solid on the fundamentals! That’s it from Instructor Zee and Tactical Rifleman. Thanks for tuning in!

Here’s some context for all y’all experts out there. The drill applies mostly to a CQB environment. It simply involves the mechanics of going dry (out of ammo) or having a malfunction from hearing a click. We have a secondary weapon system so I immediately transition to that weapon and finish up. Next, you assess what the problem is with your weapon (in this case I know I went dry) and I get my primary weapon back up. It’s important to know that one can only go so far on the flat range with training and that is when force on force becomes crucial. I welcome your “what if’s” but abstract drills are meant for isolating certain mechanics. Everything is not a scenario. Also, a person that trains and has composure in a gun fight will know when it would make sense to transition to their secondary should their primary go down. If I’m behind cover 200 yards away from the threat, I would just reload or correct the malfunction. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you so much for explaining that this is about ISOLATING FUNDAMENTALS. People always throw all this stupid shit into the mix. "oh you should be moving" "oh you should be working behind cover" blah blah blah.
Drills like this are designed to work on specific fundamentals (in this case weapon transitions, manipulation, and a reload). People always want to start "running" when they haven't even mastered how to walk or crawl yet. I see it all the time. When people don't isolate fundamentals, and master them each seperately BEFORE combining them all together, that just leads to sloppy and inconsistent shooting in my experience.
Master everything seperately, then add them all together and master that... Training on a range doesn't simulate combat, but what it does do is train your muscle memory and habits to allow you to make all of these things work under stress. Balancing speed, accuracy, movement, weapons manipulations and tactics, along with everything else requires you to isolate fundamentals. Period.
Zee, Navy vet here. Great vid per usual. Do you see any problems with carrying your secondary in the appendix position (to keep it consistent with concealed)? I've been doing several drills with it, but have yet to do FoF with that set up. The draw seems cleaner for me because I run the front of my PC and harness pretty much slick or only single stack. Any wisdom you have for why that would just suck is appreciated.
Great vid Zee. Please do more. Some of us get the concept of drilling. I humped an FN MAG around in the early 80's. We were drilled constantly. There is no doubt in my mind if you threw one in front of me right now (after 30+ years) I could still operate that thing like a boss. Drills work. Period, end of story. I for one valued the video, valued the concept, and value your knowledge.
As a "Y'all Expert" I appreciate the drill and context... Always learning. Thanks for your expertise and experience.
But the Uber Operator at T-Rex is so much faster. 🤣
Thank You Tactical Rifleman!!! You guys kick ass.
Well done, Sir! Thank you for your service.
Keeping it simple, keeping it practical, and keeping it feasible. You guys knocked it out, yet again!
Great to see Zee in a tactical rifleman video! More please!
Ahhh, the internet commandos have spoken to tell you what you are doing wrong. It never ceases to amaze me that we have so many "professional gunfighters" out there. Unreal. Good training video Sir. Thank you for your service.
Awesome Zee...glad to have you on board!
Amen to that. We are looking forward to more awesome videos from Zee in the near future. TR
LMAO! At the Internet ninjas... I love this channel, brings back such intense memories I wouldn't trade for anything in this world. So happy you're still up and running TR. God bless. R/S Gunny Fernandez, USMC Ret.
Gunny, thanks for your service and continued support of Tactical Rifleman. TR
Your fast run looked like you cutted an corner.. not hate comparing you slow and fast. Great videos hands done best channel on the tube appreciate all you efforts
Valera Smith if you’re going to criticize someone on the internet you should really make an effort to learn how to spell and put sentences together correctly.
Love the drill man more drills like this please for sure amazing work guys keep it up
This is hands down the best page on RUclips
Happy to see you still on youtube after the policy changes!
Fun stuff
Thank you for your Service. My Uncle was a green baret in the Korean War. In my eyes you guys are the best of the best I always wanted to be a green baret I had some badd accidents in my life which kept me from being green baret Again thank you for your service God-bless you
GBs didnt fight in korea ...
Thank you for the lesson....
BIG RON OUT...
Short and right info, all videos around must be like, thanks sir. SEMPER FIDELIS!
Speed and efficiency by "Mastering the Basics" ...
will start employing this drill into others. Thank you
The Check Drill is a great drill for all combat shooters. Thanks for watching, TR
Thank you guys for sharing your knowledge.
That's the exact same way Jason Falla taught us to do it. Bringing the rifle back up with your pistol our for cover, everything. I've never seen anyone else do it. But I've done it that way for years.
Thank you for your service.. Sir..
If your comment begins with, “I’m not a professional but...” you shouldn’t continue the sentence.
Matthew Thwing - Weeell, can’t agree with you there. “Professional” simply mean you make money doing something. Making money from something doesn’t make you better at it than everyone else. Best shooter in the world is not at all likely to be a professional.
I totally disagree with that. Some of the worst instruction I have ever been given was from professionals. The thing lots of people don't realize is just because you seen the elephant in one kind of service does not mean you know how to apply your experiences for a different role. And frankly a lot of the innovative techniques for training and tactics (obviously not strategies) have come from people who have no military or law enforcement experience. Airsoft for force on force for example is an amazing thing for close quarters scenarios, and from all places came from Japan and teenagers playing it here in the US. If we only listened to professionals, we would just keep regurgitating the same crap over and over because "it worked before", but may not work as well right now. Experiences are used to ground our training in reality, but innovation can come from anywhere.
Think about this, red dots came from the civilian market. They were scoffed at for years but now have become a standard paired with irons.
Matthew Thwing lol solid argument
Not all professionals are good at their job, and among those that are, not all can effectively analyze the available data and make sound conclusions. Even fewer still can convey those conclusions and teach others the lessons learned.
Everyone brings something to the table, the problem is when someone brings something to the table without having put in the time to ensure that the product has value.
I can watch 1000 sushi videos, make sushi at home for 10 years, and probably give some pretty good advice about making sushi. Yet, I'm not a professional sushi maker. At the same time, I could also miss intricacies of the preparation, because I've never immersed myself in a proper sushi kitchen setting during prime time. It is incumbent upon the individual to always be introspective and reflective, to understand their blind spots and knowledge gaps.
800lb Gorilla very well said. In the end scrutiny goes both ways and everyone unless bound to a SOP have to make decisions for themselves on what will work for their situation.
Thanks for the drill keep up the great work! 🤙🏾🇺🇸
Me and my buddies already practice this so keep me coming!
I will be doing this drill, great drill, thx
harder than it looks. full gear , plate carrier , mags , duty belt , etc. thanks guys. this has exposed a weakness that I WILL F##king MASTER. thanks for helping build a better minute man. cheezy , yeah whatever , I take training to survive seriously.
Thanks for watching
Excellent demonstration. I'll be practicing this. Keep up the good work!
Excellent drill. Muscle memory for several basic mamipulations in a short time span.
Great drill!
Great drill.
Nice drill, thanks
Thanks for the drills and techniques you show! Love getting out and practicing them and making up some of my own as well
excellent zee is the man
I have a comment for you! That was fucking awesome, explained perfectly and clearly, brilliant!
New fan from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 💪
Excellent drill! I'll try tomorrow.
Keep them coming please!
As always, great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Instructor "Zee", I guess "Instructor Zero" is already trademarked. LMAO 😂. I'm just kidding, this was a good lesson, man. Thanks.
Obergruppenführer John Smith yep, I’m not that sexy😁👊
Awesome drill! Thanks for the upload!
Good drill. I usually train either transitions or reloads but never both at once. I'm definitely trying this one out today. Keep up the good vids :).
That's cool. Thanks for your service and expanding your to us.
Woot woot! New drill time baby! 👍🇺🇸
Super complete hands on drill love it 👊🏻
Zee! You the man bro, miss you!
Coyote Tactical Solutions miss you too bro 👊👊
Another great video! Thanks for posting it!
Awesome! Train like you fight, fight like you train.
Meme like you mean it.
Great work
Good drill for when the threat is not down
Good stuff Zee
Cooler than an ice cube sippin on a milkshake in a snowstorm
Thanks for taking the time to explain the ‘why’
pound-signMIHRFAAXCIA
Outstanding
Thank you 😊
Love the learning that comes with the vids🖒🖒The intro.... the coms sound like the peanuts teacher.
Clean.
Thank you sirs!
Love it this drill🎁
Very good, but it would be better/if possible during the transition to seek cover and concealment for the process or on a buddy system switch primary engagement to secondary engagement by the other team members in the field or in urbanised environment. Your best bet would not be having to have weapon transition, your buddy takes over the engagement immediately.
Badass little SBR setup you've got. Looks pretty much like my setup, 10.5" SBR with a good aimpoint optic, light and hand stop and a Glock 19 in a nice kydex holster. Granted you've got the laser/illuminator too. I love you guys channel and my buddy and I get a lot of our drills to practice from your channel. Keep up the great work guys. Also is that a pass around SBR because I could swear it's the same one in some other videos with Karl and the other guys running it. Either way it looks like a really nice rifle
🇺🇸👍good STUFF.more drills please
Super!
That's an awesome drill!
Nice!
Great video 👍🏼
Great vlog..
Solid video brother ! Please come to Florida and give us some courses :D
Our 2022 course schedule is up on Tacticalrifleman.com
Excellent drill, I like to practice this one at home with dry fire lasers to keep up my technique. I personally am blind in my right eye and I am right handed so i've learned to shoot ambi with my rifle and still use my pistol with my right hand as my primary grip. But the transition is where I get messed up as my left hand is primary and my right hand is my support hand. Any tips or tricks or different transitions I could try that you know of?
Is it an idea to have multiple mags which are loaded with like 1 up to 4 bullets so you don't exactly kniw when you run dry and don't anticipate the reload?
Yep. Also if you’re running drills with a partner, which you should be because it’s stupid and dangerous to run drills alone, have them load the mags so you don’t know what’s coming....keeps you on your toes.
Should have a dummy round instead anyone that has trained on an ar knows that it feels different when you lock the bolt back vs malfunctions.
What J & Matt said. Have your partner load a snap cap randomly in your mags. When I first started doing this & filming my drills I was MORTIFIED at how long it took me to tap-rack-bang. It was an eye opener to be sure. On the positive side it made me want to train that much harder to get my technique where it needs to be. Not there yet but better than when I started.
Instead of snap caps just pick up empty brass and throw one of those in the mag randomly. Great, free malfunction practice.
Yea that is a good drill if you have a partner. Have a friend load your mags so you have no clue how many they contain, and then run the drill. I do that a lot in pretty much every drill that contains multiple shots. Whenever i am shooting with someone else, i try to throw random slide-locks into the mix. Very good training exercise.
This is one of my favorite drills to run with airsoft and thank u for your service.
Green berets from my experience make excellent instructors
That is a part of their job description, some of what they do is train and lead local forces.
KridikJones yup. One of the best instructors I had for counter terrorism training was a green beret
Good stuff Karl and Zee. Drills like this are always appreciated. See a lot of comments about malfunction clearance vs. weapon transition. Hey man, you know whats faster than reloading/fixing your weapon? Drawing another weapon. I wouldn't worry about problem solving my primary if I'm not behind cover, doing a tap/rack on an empty weapon just cost you time when bullets are flying, ESPECIALLY since in this drill the premise is that he is empty as opposed to an actual malfunction. Obviously this drill is for when you're already engaged with a threat that is close enough that you can engage with your pistol. Context is always super important, but remember, they are trying to help us without helping their enemies that can watch the same information. ISIS is here, right now, watching these same videos. If you want the full story, go to T1G and get training.
Well said. I think people forget that priorities and tactics change when the enemy is further away.
Well said buddy. Things aren’t as obvious to people that just don’t know I suppose. It’s hard to explain every given situation to someone.
To be fair Zee, I felt you explained the parameters on why you did what you did well. Possibly people might have clicked on the video assuming they already knew how to transition from handgun to rifle, but didn't know the particulars on when to do and so they glossed over your explanations. Few people are armed with a rifle and handgun, usually only one or the other. I had some rifle guys who thought the handgun was only for when they ran out of rifle ammo, and handgun guys who thought the rifle was only used at long range due to over-penetration concerns.
Awesome.
A lot of practice right there ,plus it adds stress to the training .
Good..Thanks for another video.
A little bit of everything😎🤙Mahalo
Great drill 🤙🏻
Outstanding!
This was really cool!
GREAT INSTRUCTION
Great video keep it up !
Great vid thanks!
very nice drill good job.
The point of the drill is to actually do a lot a movements for muscle memory... But, arent you creating training scars? shouldn't you just s.p.o.r.t.s. or Tap,rack,bang. If not, bang why observe? Or, Transition, then, tactical reload. But, hooah. The force is strong with this one.
what he is trying to teach here is at close range when a threat is present and your rifle goes down for any reason, transition to your handgun which is faster than a reload or malfunction clearance. A dead rifle is a paperweight, and a loaded handgun is a gun at that point.
At distance of course it is better to fix the much more powerful rifle than a less powerful handgun.
nice tips..
maybe it would also help if you the shooter goes to kneeling position if he/ she reloads the weapon. just saying..
Badass drill.
Unrelated question, where can I purchase that hoodie?
Nice
I'm going to take this concept and have an assistant load mags with a random dummy round with no powder and a fired dead primer at random. Thanks
Stefano Dogg why go through all that trouble? Just pick up an empty brass of the ground and throw that in your mag. Or just get a pack of snap caps.
I'm a reloader. It will take one minute while doing 5.56 to make up 10 of them for free using bullet 2nds I already have sorted. Fired brass with no bullet will not feed (you could use that for another type of clearance driil, though) and if it does it may jam
Stefano Dogg yeah they cause a jam but that's a more likely situation than a round that feeds and just doesn't go bang. Plus that's always nothing more than a simple immediate action drill to fix. I see where you're coming from though, especially if you're a reloader. If it were me though I'd punch the old primer out and just leave the pocket empty so they're very easily identified as the dummy rounds. I think it's probably definitely a better training idea than snap caps because they're always red or some bright color you can easily see them in the mag so you have an idea of when is gonna have a failure.
You get it.. and agreed, it's good to set up various types of stoppages/failures. Most can easily be identified and simply be cleared, the CLICK of a dud round, hard primer or empty chamber is the only clue you get there
Oh shit Zee I met them threw mick with carry trainer, I have to sub this channel now it’s legit!
Thanks for watching, TR
Love it!
Thank you.
Looks good, but I think the time drawing the pistol could be faster. Time from hand on the grip to bullet fired.
F'n Awesome
Not a criticism, but questions - I'm seeing that the drill doesn't seem to incorporate a third trigger pull on the AR... so how would one know it wasn't functioning? I've blown this up, and slowed it down to YT's .25 speed, and don't see third trigger pulls. Was this more of 'feeling' the rifle to know a round did not chamber?
If he was, he would be pulling the trigger a third time to then find out he had a no-fire, right?
Because he KNOWS that there is no 3rd bullet. In real life though, yes you would try to squeeze one off before you realize something is wrong. And contrary to what people try to spew out, often times in combat you will NOT feel your bolt lock back. Sometimes you will, other times you try to shoot more, get no response from the rifle, say "of shit im empty" and then either reload, transition, or fix a malfunction. That would just depend on the circumstances and range of the engagement as to what step to take when your primary goes down.
Mr. Dark - thank you for the more realistic, and real-world, reply. I agree.
Nice drill. Smooth always looks fast. Do you have any issues with having the rear sling mount and the front sling mount that close together, in reference to changing magazines and hitting the bolt release (does the sling get in the way of either)? Also, are you using a rear sling adapter or is it one you had to remove and replace the staked castle nut with?
There is a rear sling adapter there. Also, this positioning of the sling allows for much faster transition from High to Low Ready and Back, without all the "sliding" of the sling across your back. Give it a try. I can still hit the bolt release through the sling if it I in the way. Thanks for watching, TR
Tactical Rifleman thanks for the reply and tips. Awesome as always. Thank you and please keep theses great videos coming!!
Love your vids as always, but I have a suggestion. When you have new drills to run, be more in-depth. Slow it down for the non SF. Let the viewer know what the shooter is going for. Remember that not everyone who subs to this channel is enlisted Let the viewer know what the shooter is thinking and talking through the progression.
Chris Clemens we will work in it buddy.
Do you have any questions about this particular drill that you would like answered?
I have seen a lot of pax do this maneuver in tng and I still dont know why. They are just doing it because they were told to. I think that once you transitioned, you dont look at the rifle until you are in a position where you can address the issue. Who came up with this?
solid
I would love to add my 2 cents but I can't effectively train this drill with a bolt action rifle, thanks for the content from down under
Awesome drill sir. What holster set up is that?
waldo mcwanw that is a ragnarok from T-Rex arms but I have recently went back to my safari land with ALS retention. 👊
Instructor Zee awesome. I run a safariland for my Springfield trp but I want a different holster for my g19. Thanks again
Fucking pipehitters 💪🏼 Good job guys love these short and informative videos
Yeah sounds easy, but do it under stress with bad guys around. Good Job and what group were you in?
Zee was in 5th SFG
The best context for this situation would be a CQB environment which would allow me the security of my team. The beauty of well trained CQB team techniques is that someone always plugs holes that are left open (they fill in where needed and find work to do) I would have been fine with bad guys around even if I fucked up cause my boys would find that work👍👊👊
good drill
what belt and holster rig are you running, sir?
