I couldn't help but notice that Mikey is able to reholster his weapon without a glitch. He obviously would be a better candidate for Secret Service than some people I am familiar with.
Hahaha
Micky,.you are quickly becoming one of two channels that I click like before even watching the video. The other is Paul Harrel. You present such solid information , in a real world approach. Love the videos and appreciate the hard work that goes into being a one person crew. Thank you!!!
Wow, thanks!
This subject has been brought up with some friends. One went to a class, and they worked mostly with hand to hand and then combative shooting when they just wanted the basic shooting skills class to improve their abilities for self-defense. I first took Micks class to see about my abilities and the possibility of teaching others as an instructor myself. After his class I saw my weaknesses and I improved on my skills. An important thing for a person to know is their own capabilities and know what you know and know that you need to learn to become better. Mick shows us that we need to always be learning and experiencing to become more efficient. I will continue to take his classes for my own improvement.
Hey Chef!
Mickey's advice is basic and solid. Learn from someone you can trust. Watch his videos. Practice. When you can afford it, his classes are outstanding!!
Thank you
Mic…….you forgot to say “Because it works” 🤣 Tha in you for the information today and taking the time to create well informed content for your viewers. We are blessed to have a trainer like you share information.
I totally agree he forgot to say to avoid the ASP channel that old video expert is going to get someone hurt. Be well yall
This should be THE primer for anyone getting it self defense firearms. This vid, alone, would prevent a TON of crappy purchases and wastes of money based on gun counter guy advice and know-it-all buddies that push b.s. upon friends just starting out.
People who work in gunshops are like any other retail, they will push the products they earn the highest comission on
You're absolutely right. You wouldn't believe how many guys show up to these classes with super fancy and super expensive pistols that they do not carry on a daily basis. The whole point of these classes is to become proficient with your EDC weapon.
Man I can totally relate to the guy that says can't afford training because that's where I am currently. I also have a big family to take care of and work a lot of overtime to do so. I started carrying a gun when I moved to Glendale Arizona almost 4 years ago now. Overtime I have obtained more then just my carry gun but at first when I bought my carry gun I knew I needed to do something to understand the legal side of things and also engrain the fundamentals of handling a firearm. So I turned to the internet of course besides watching reviews videos on reliable firearms I stumbled across the Carry Trainer videos and boy did I go down a great rabbit hole lol. I bought target stands, targets, then went to town on training myself. I believe I have watched every video some more then once. I carry with confidence and safety from your videos also have taught my wife and my children that are old enough to handle a fire arm. Even went as far as buying secure it gun safes that are placed in 3 different areas of our home. Now of course I watch a lot of stuff to learn new things but your videos for sure I have engrained in me. I'm now in a future promotable position at my job and told my self when one of the times you are back in Pheonix you will definitely see me in your class in the near future. I will end this with a big thank you and cannot express my appreciation enough for the content you put out. Watching this made me realize man when I started my firearm journey carry trainer was there from the start and still is so thanks again sir. I can't wait to take what I've learned to the next level.
If you go to the range once per month, you’re already better than 95% of police officers. -my buddy who trains cops
I was chatting with a retired cop at USPSA a couple days ago. He said he used to always try to convince his police buddies to come compete in IDPA and USPSA to sharpen their skills. He told be that almost without fail, they would come shoot one match and never come back. He said it was an ego thing, that competing taught them that they weren’t actually nearly is good as they thought they were. I know from experience how humbling the competition world can be when you get smoked by great shooters who don’t look like they should be good. But I thought that was funny that he said lots of LEOs that he brought to competitions quit because their egos were bruised.
All and all man amazing videos man every time Micky be safe and be blessed my brother 💗🙏 5:55
Mickey this is the type of stuff that brought me to your Channel before s12. Best 12 is a great project but some of the best lessons I've learned have been in classroom type setting that you started out doing
Thank you for always giving solid, simple and genuine advice.. watching and subscribed from South Africa 🇿🇦
Ill be your camera 🤳 man 😂 4:28
Dude, I'm so glad I found your channel.
Me too!
This is a great no nonsense honest down to the root basics video. I dig it!!!. New subscriber here!!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks Mickey. As you said, we need to back ourselves out from the trouble and push ourselves in.
Great video Mick! Always appreciate the reminder of practical, effective, repeatable over chasing the next fancy goal-when the 1.5 all day isn’t yet all day. ;) Much love and appreciation for being a unique voice in the industry. Will see ya soon sir.
PS, you’ll always be my favorite Fudd. 😂
Yet again another great informative video
Awesome instruction as always Mick. You're one of the best out there friend.
Great, great, great stuff Mick!! Thank you, brother!
Brian
The best all encompassing video, that I have ever seen. Thank you
Good video. Good concepts and good demonstration. I also use those laser bullets for "dry fire".
Thanks Mickey I very much appreciate these videos! I like the videos where You are one other trainee shoots drills! It’s easier to learn exactly what You are trying to ingrain into the people watching the video! Thanks, Mike
Great insight. Need some coffee.
Yes you do😄
One of my great teachers said, you never train enough on something that can kill you. ALWAYS training (in a positive way)
Thank you for sharing. Be safe.😊
Mr. Schuch: Two awesome and outstanding days in Lebanon, PA (7/24/24 & 7/25/24), thank you very much!
By the way, your biceps and triceps are not too shabby!
Amen! Great stuff. Thankful I got to attend.
Hey my dude
@@CarryTrainer You're the man!
@JL-xn3zy all these screen names, I can't connect to humans! Glad you had a good event. Thanks for coming.
I think the most critical time for someone to seek out the services of a trainer is when they first decide to get a gun. I suppose shooting can be self taught for a few, but many new shooters who sign up for their first concealed carry class also come there to get their first lessons in marksmanship and gun handling because someone told them the concealed carry folks would teach them. In my state, it’s an eight hour course with a few slides in class on the fundamentals, then as much time on the range as it takes to shoot the qualification course once or twice as needed. Learning the fundamentals first is more critical than anything else. A good trainer will help someone get there in the early stages. Then go to concealed carry class.
I have been into guns for many years. I have bought and carried many guns over the years. About 5 years ago, I went to a training class, and another, and another.... and I practiced what I leaned in training till I didn't get it wrong. I had to unlearn many bad habits I had developed over the years. Unlearning a bad one is much harder that learning it right the first time. I am not great, but I can get a reliable 1.2 second draw from concealment, and I can hit reliably out to about 15 yards quick, and I have to slow it down when I get out to 20 and 25 yards. Today I still have all my other guns but I carry a Glock.... Not because I love Glocks in particular, but I carry it because it works. By that I don't mean it just goes bang every time I pull the trigger, it works for me. I can get the sight picture, and the grip right every time. And I love training classes. I always learn something.
I went to a trainer & learned a skill, got the job done. Went to a new trainer, he told me the last guy taught me wrong & I had bad habits. The new trainer was going to teach me a better way. So now I have to unlearn my bad habits & relearn, I got confused! Bullshit. I was getting the job done the old way! The new way wasn't better, just different! I practice the way that got the job done & don't go to new trainers!
I am in my 60s. I spent my working life in the Army. I have seen a lot of people trying to be like a spec ops operator. I have seen magazines emptied in seconds. Marksmanship? Not as much. Slow handgun courses of fire get you there to accuracy. After that, all things can be practiced and added. I was glad to hear you mention marksmanship before more complicated things. I got a laser trainer. That is an easy, useful home training aid. It helps.
Several videos on training with 50 rds. Dry fire always good.
Great advice
Yes dry fire is great it helped my accuracy more than anything i believe, get use to that trigger squeeze. Also for shoot on the move and just the handling of the weapon air soft is good 👍
I dry fire alot at home and when I go to the range I mainly practice draw to first shot. I go to the range at least once a month. I get a little bit of ammo every paycheck.
This was a really great vid, thank you! Interesting timing - I just had a back and forth yesterday with a well-known podcaster/trainer about this very topic. He said in his most recent podcast that anybody who is not class-trained is not trained at all, and that just going to the range and shooting is not training but just playing around and having fun (which he also admitted was fine to do, as well). I think part of it, was he is always drumming up business, and he loves to discuss how many classes HE goes to, etc. I understood what he was saying, but at the same time, I didn't completely agree with him for the very reasons your email sender talked about. These are tough times, and especially with a family, sometimes going to a 500 to 1500 or more class isn't in the cards. So does that mean, leave the gun at home because you aren't really serious about your defense (which is what the podcaster was saying...that if you aren't taking training classes, you aren't really serious about the role you are taking on). I called BS, and now supposedly his next episode he wants to discuss it further. I suspect he'll double down with less irritating wording. Ah well.
@BlueRidgeCritter what are you doing while at range? What's the goal? How are you getting to that goal?
after reading this short comment i believe this person has the coolest range bag with a sign that says it's Britney bit**...
Self-taught works depending on one's commitment to the goal.
Good stuff, shared this with some friends.
Excellent coaching. IMO - laser devices like a Strikeman are excellent practice tools and affordable. No recoil on them so you’ll still need to get to the range but less often.
Awesome video as always 😎👍🏻
If you haven't trained with Mickey - do it! Excellent training that will set you on a great path for continued skill development and refinement. You won't be disappointed!👍
Would love to
Very good video, brotherhood!!!! 👍🏾👌🏽💯💙🙏🏽
I am 50 and have a 11 year old and 4 1/2 year old, I started my family late. And I still can’t afford too take a class I am shelf taught
You're my favorite hands down
Hey Mickey what holster you have that 19X in. Unfortunately I had to cancel PA. Hope to train with you in Homer NY. Great video.
Safariland
Because it works… And, the majority of Police trade in Glocks shoot less than 100 rounds per years
I'm a student AND instructor as well. This is the first time hearing ANY instructor say that "if you don't train with the best names in the industry, you're wasting your time". That's simply not true in my opinion. Like you said, set standards and expextations for yourself, get good info from good resources (like you) and start your journey
I have sat through many a discussion as well as seen and read many times people spout on such things.
@@CarryTrainer Unfortunately, sometimes the 2A community is it's own worst enemy
@@andyuseman7980 humans being humans
I'm honestly almost as scared about the "fight after the fight" as I am about using self-defense, especially because different people recommend different courses of action. Some defense attorneys advise immediately invoking your 5th and 6th amendment rights with the police, some other attorneys like Andrew Branca recommend telling the police that you had to defend yourself and then shut up, Ayoob recommends his 5 point checklist, and on and on it goes.

I'm a new shooter. What is the purpose of press checking after cycling the slide (to chamber a round)?
I've done numerous videos on this topic. First, this is from an administrative loading standpoint. Verification of chamber condition.
2. It's a additional mechanism to ensure success.
I'll do a new video
@@CarryTrainer i saw you new video about Press checking and immediately thought was it because of my comment. Then I saw your reply to my comment. Thank you!
1.5 seconds from open carry is a lot easier than 1.5 seconds from concealment.
Naw. Almost no difference. Compounding movement. We and many others have tested the heck out of it.
The biggest problem today in the training fraternity is the GUCCI WOKE crap. Ie, you get all dressed up like a DELTA operator and you run around after your ninja-looking instructor. The problem is you don't go shopping dressed up like that. Classes should look like an accountant conference. Grey man training, drawing from concealment getting off the X, reality-based training, that is what makes you a harder target
Fundamentals arnt flashy. Shooting is shooting is shooting. I don't own kit. I don't even own an owb holster. I just conceal carry. People will spend their money how they want tho. And alot of people want enterTRAINment.
@@willr4880 so true, but just because lots of people want it, doesn't make it right
@wolverineqtg976 correct. It's easier to buy the shit and look the part, then to put the work in
@@willr4880 Exactly!!
I went to a training class in jeans and a T-shirt and felt very out of place.
You’re awesome. You said ‘hopefully not fmj’ - please expand
@@chrisbolling945 what specifically is the question?
@@CarryTrainer why not fmj?
@chrisbolling945 context first. FMJ is fine for training. FMJ in common handgun calibers isn't ideal for the defensive purposes. Why?
Energy transfer.
Wait…your long socks make you a Fudd? My kids tell me my ankle socks let everybody know I was born last century. 😂 can’t make everybody happy I guess.
Don't be judging my spending problems! 🤣
I made Master in USPSA in 4 months dryfiring every night and watching free RUclips videos. Just go practice. You'll fail, learn, grow. You don't need to pay 600 bucks for tactical bs. Run, fight, hide. Nope. Speed and accuracy are king.
Shooting is shooting. Tactics is something else altogether. The raw skill of Marksmanship is a singular skillset.
It's not everything.
Well done with your training and skill building.
The industry seems to push high capacity almost always. How many is enough?
@@johnochicago8457 don't know and neither do you.
It’s an “industry”…. Of course they prop themselves up. It’s self gratifying.
You need to be able to hit COM on a target with 2 rds at 3 yards under 3 seconds!
Repetition of proper form, no matter how you train.
There are gun gurus on tiktok peddling nonsense like "you need 2 courses a year and 1 range trip a month" MINIMUM 😂😂😂😂
Funny
Mr Mickey
I have a P365X, some advice on maintaining the master grip on the smaller grip please, especially with follow up shots...
We have a ton of vids on the channel about little pistols. ruclips.net/video/PwgKvQTvwMc/видео.htmlsi=8spmRti2be9VbSmG
@@CarryTrainer thanks a lot sir, love you
You also need to know basic tactics.
Wait! You mean to tell me there are people who like guns that have "spending problems?" 😂😂
yes they are we are not in army there are diff. things to do not give bunch of money to some guy saying bunch of phrases that sound tactical lol comon knolage and wisdom of God is all we need
Mickey a Fudd??? 😂 What The??… I think some of the keyboard ninjas do not know what a fudd is!!..😂
Depends. Are you going to join the militia and fight? Or are you going to hunker down and protect your loved ones.
Is the training industry lying? What training do you really need?
That answer is 100% SUBJECTIVE
Maybe and right on
Press checks are useless and for either novice gun owners who can't tell the difference between when the slide picks up a round or not OR John Wick, PERIOD!! Sure, I'll purposely take a gun I just loaded out of battery and then "tap the slide" back into place, are you insane???? Why do these "professional instructors" teach bad habits??? Ridicules!
@Kenn1969 not a single high level special operations soldier or sailor has every agreed with your comment when I have asked and I ask lots of men such questions.
You understand the difference between an administrative function and one done under duress?
Processes and systems that support the desired outcome is the key.
Nuance and context exist.
Bad habits? Not one bit.
I'd be more concerned about.
@@Kenn1969 did you really just try misspell ridiculous while being that self righteous about something you now nothing about? That’s such an archetypal keyboard warrior thing to do ken. Why do these. There is so many variables you are not taking into account with firearm mechanics, parts wear and things happen.
Confirming a round is in the chamber of a life saving tool is good, acting like you know everything in RUclips comments is a bad habit.
I don't understand how someone could with a straight face call Mickey a FUDD seriously don't get that. Honestly don't get it. Because you advocate for common sense training and or espoused some common sense measures of control in regards to implementing your firearm in self defense and not being a dick because you carry somehow makes him a FUDD. I guess this Marine with real world combat action is a FUDD as well. Mickey don't listen to the noise just keep passing the good knowledge. Enjoy your training next week. Semper Fidelis!
Strength and honor my dude
I'm proud to be a FUDD, I don't like KOOLKIDS!
Dry fire daily. Live fire about 100+ rds a week. Micks classes are good.
I love my Springfield xd's both eare my edc,I'm a legal firearm owner have my CCW IN CORRUPTIFORNIA..Believe THAT. HAHA.practice and safety all the time .I would love to be firearms instructor.
