Mr Gordon! I was a corpsman at 3rd phase around 2012, you, Coch and chief Kent would let me shoot with the class and give me tons of advice, i credit you guys with me getting a perfect score on the Worldwide Protective Services shooting test after I left the navy. super happy to see you teaching, hope to join one of your CQB classed in the near future.
This was the exact way I was trained when I joined the navy. This is the most concise no nonsense instruction video I have ever seen. I will be sending this to family from now on.
Excellent teacher. I love the off-hand position explanation. You see so many "teaching" the palm to the chest. But the knife hand makes more sense for real life, combative, purposes.
Most of them are. BUDS teaches humility 1st. And acting like a BA often starts trouble. If you're skilled at killing, the laws disfavors you, over a civilian. " the best defense, is not to offend". Confucius
Thanks Chief. Nicely demonstrated with out all the tacticool b.s. I'm now 68 years old, been shooting all my life, and hope I can still learn something every day. Just found this channel and am subscribing.
This gentleman genuinely cares about people's understanding and especially the safety of everyone that watches this honestly really refreshing seeing people with so much care and passion p.s I know it's an old video but this is all new to me 🙏
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. I spent 18 years in the army, and never received this type of instruction before. Drawing and holstering wasn't even covered when we went to the pistol range. I'm surprised I never witnessed any serious accidents. Thank you for breaking it down in such a simple. practical manner, and explaining why you do it this way.
I stumbled upon this video by accident and I'm glad I did. I've been shooting for years but the way the World is going it's time to learn the finer points and proper way to do it for protection. Thank you for your service and the great video!!
This is the easily the best instructional video on how to CORRECTLY draw your pistol ever made. Clear, easy to understand for new shooters and even seasoned shooters like myself. Thank you sir.
Chief Gordon, very good instructional video. I'm 14 year Army vet. Retired Fed Leo. Went to Artesia New Mexico for a 3 week advance fire arms training. I haven't seen this technic before. First morning safety briefing and the standards to qualify and pass. Afternoon we fired at rotating targets at the 3-5-7-12 and 25 yards , 9 mm side arm. At 3 and 5 yard line we had 3 seconds identify threat and neutralize threat with two rounds. 7 yard 5 seconds 25 yard 7 seconds. That afternoon each shooter fired 1000 rounds for familiarization. Next day fired at least 1000 rounds in the morning and afternoon. End of second week was qualification you fall range qualifications pack your bags . Afterwards stress fire course day and night for familiarization and intense training, no pass fail , by the way no NVG',s. In the 14 years in the Army and 20 years as a Fed Leo that was the best fire arms training I have ever received. On the first week we received firearms retention training ( full contact). Afterwards any Instructor from all Agencies would see us with a red dummy practice side arm knew we received weapons retention training and were fair game to try to take our side arm one student has his side arm taken afterwards we traveled in three man teams any attempt by an instructor and he or she was taken down hard and cuffed . This happened in the mess hall an instructor sneaked up to the serving line one us yelled gun gun gun we saw the location and the instructor and food flew all over and twelve of us took him down hard arm bar lock wrist locks and and ankle locks he said out of roll our standard reply is fuck you. The next words spoken was secure. Our Director of the Course a GS - 13 came over and said okay animals let him up. He was pissed and asked who we are and what agency do you belong to. We told him that we are the Controllers to the gates of hell we go where no one would ever think of going knowing they might come out dead.
I love this video. I come back to it every so often. Now I live in a rural area and keep loaded guns around, I realized that every loaded handgun needs some kind of holster. Now I find myself open carrying when on trails. Thank you Mr. Evans !
Been shooting for a little while now and I still find myself coming back to videos like this this just to correct any bad habits I’ve made along the way and to just focus on proper technique
That was great for outside the waist band uncovered. Can you show the best process using IWB with a shirt covering. There is that extra moving of the shirt or coat so bringing your hand to chest isn’t in the movement. Thank you
I know this is a very long post, this touched upon a lot of emotion and experiences that directly relates to what is being presented here but also, how we get to this point of shooting evolution and my fortunate experiences as a shooter. These "simple" safety movements designed into the draw are so crucial and yet, so unpracticed. There's an older video on RUclips with a gentleman named "Tex" something or other, who was practicing his "quick draw" while video taping himself as he proceeded to shoot himself in the leg. It's a wonder he didn't hit an artery and die. People don't realize that you can get shot in the butt and die quite easily. He talked about the shooting after the fact, showed what he did and why it was stupid, then showed the aftermath upon his leg... It's not worth it, it did a lot of damage. If you're not drawing your weapon safely and consistently, absolutely nothing else matters because nothing else about your actions will be predictable. Unpredictable shooting is bad news in anybody's book. I was fortunate. Long before I went into the service, I had a father who was a WWII navy commando, light and heavy weapons trained, was the hand to hand instructor at Shoemaker naval station near San Francisco, was cold weather, jungle warfare and UDT trained (these guys were the predecessors to the SEALS) and fought the Japanese in the Aleutian Islands under the guise of towing targets for the then still "friendly" Russians. The mission was so secret that they did many weeks of jungle training, were issued nothing but hot weather gear then loaded into a transport and shipped directly to Alaska with zero information about their destination or mission. Eventually, his ship and it's compliment was lost at sea for 3 mos. and, he was eventually pronounced as deceased. His family was in permanent shock when he showed up, quite alive sometime later and it's not really spoken about amongst them to this day... His sister was never the same. He was a mountain kid during the depression and subsistence hunted to help feed his huge family and was tought many skills by his father, also a war vet as was his father before him and they all had to develop extraordinary skill sets just to be able to survive wars, hunt for sustenance and live in the wilderness as a matter of life... As we now try to proudly function for short periods in the outdoors as wannabe "survivalists." But, I digress... I'm saying this as background to describe the type of upbringing (training) I had, as I started hunting (carrying his guns) with my father and learning to handle and shoot, as well as gaining tracking skills, starting at just 6 or so when we lived in rural Ontario (he married a Canadian and I was born abroad to a US citizen). So, as I was saying... I was tought proper firearm safety and handling and both military and "old school hunter" techniques from a *very* young age. My "how to shoot" was by an experienced, WWII combat veteran who kept up with his weapons and tracking skills (people, as well as game) and advancing techniques until his death. With such an upbringing, it's kind of different for me to remember that other people didn't grow up with all of this as their regular life experience. I've had to learn to break it all into pieces and hand down what I can to my son and, hopefully, my grandkids. He tought me to handle, clean and disassemble weapons and go through countless training drills, long before he let me put the first shell in a gun. It's the muscle memory of the action of properly handling a piece that leads to safety and accuracy... Not just running through countless rounds, thinking that "repetitions equal skill." It also means bad habits are being driven into every move you make and it's 5 times as hard to unlearn a bad habit and relearn the correct way, then learn the right way the first time. When I entered the service and it was range day in basic, while everyone was struggling to aim, taking their time and wobbling around like baby ducks, I controlled my breathing/heart and was firing my five rounds just as fast as the sights fell back onto the target. The range master was watching me, kind of chuckling and was convinced that "we've got another Rambo here..." As I'm sure a lot of kids go through there with all the attitude but no skills to back it up, only to fail miserably. It was all the hunting and the techniques dad tought me that had me prepared for the different aspects of the qualifications that threw most of them for a loop. When we had gone through the session and he handed out the scores, calling people by name (and telling the majority that they didn't qualify) he finally got to my name, paused, slowly peered up from his paper directly into my eyes and said, in a semi-disgusted (read embarrassed) and sarcastic tone, "Taylor... 360, Expert." The only points that I missed were from firing from the hip, as that's something I just hadn't practiced as that's just a waste of ammo "back in the world." I could see the pure loathing in his eyes for showing him up in front of his buddies after he thought he had me pegged. I never scored less than expert for my entire time in service... And it's because dad tought me patience and repeatable skills, just just like the chief is doing here. The most important thing he's saying is about what happens *before* a trigger is ever pulled and new shooters should take heed and practice everything in deliberate steps, over and over until all pats of the draw, target acquisition and aiming are completely automatic. That way you won't waste a lot of ammunition instilling extremely difficult to break, bad habits into your shooting. As I said, it's harder to unlearn bad habits and relearn good ones than to just take your time and do it right the first time. It's rare to find someone who both understands the process and can break it down into easily understandable material, those types of instructors are hard to come by. Thanks!!... 😀
Learning as you grow up with old school trained relatives is the best. I am a more comfortable shooter on the line with old school home trainings. Thanks for the updates.
Thank you for explaining *why* you should bring the pistol up close to your body, then push out straight with the muzzle level. I’ve seen it many times but never heard someone explain so clearly about getting the top of the firearm (sights) in your peripheral vision and stabilizing your grip as you push out. Got some practice to do to change old habits.
Wow. Good training advice. I'm an old retired Army Abn Infantryman (Vietnam-Era) but one thing I've learned is I'm not as smart as I hope I am. When I think I'm 100% up to speed - I'm not. The Chief's discussion of rote memory of your stance and hand movements is great. What you practice over and over is what you will do.
I've watched this a hounded times and I will watch it a thousand more times!!! I've improved so much because of you guys !!! And it has to do with fundamentals! Over and over and over and over!! I'm sure as hell no professional!! But WOW I've improved so much following you guys simple approach and learning the fundamentals over and over and over!!! Thank you so much!!!
Same as electricfence1 below Gordon; I attempt to learn something new from others every day. You are an excellent non-intrusive firearms instructor. What I mean by that is; I felt comfortable following all your logical moves from the get-go! I've heard of Tactical Hyve over the years, a little here, a little there; all good things. Now I understand firsthand why folks are all so positive about your training scenarios Gordon, awesome training Sir! I hope to find more of your training videos out there online soon; now I'm heading to my range to practice what you've shown me, thank you again... stay safe, be well Sir...
Yes! I can be John Wick in two weeks! Haha I loved this instructional video! I'm just beginning my journey into the realm of firearms and videos like this which thoroughly demonstrate fundamentals are my favorite. Thank you for your service and for gifting this to all of us viewers!
Thanks! I was taught palm across chest. I have been shooting now about ten years and learn a couple of things new each time I watch a video. The support hand under the chin is a great new technique for me. Reminds me of the knife hand (old jarhead). Can't wait to incorporate it into my draw.
Don’t be John Wick the first week. Wick week is the second week. First week is weak week. Excellent presentation with multi perspective demonstration. Your steps are precise and straightforward …movements That are easily replicated and practiced. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
Great video and thanks for sharing. Recently took an NRA CCW course and in both their draw and reholstering process required 7 steps: Access, Grip/chest, Pull, Rotate, Join, Extend, target & fire. This process does work but it just doesn't feel like a smooth fluid action. Your method seems to move naturally and be of one motion while still being very safe.👍
Chief Great video I’ve been to a number of classes and schools none of which spent enough time on this fundamental skill. Worse yet every instructor had their favorite. I’m keeping your video for rep practice !!!!
one thing that I find interesting, people talk about the relatively "easy draw" from standing (yes ones to practice drawing), but when sitting it harder to draw from IWB or OWB, how do you draw from a sitting position? how do you draw sitting in a car with the seat belt on?
Excellent information for open carry, sir. And, well presented. As far as the hand to the chest goes, I cannot do that. I carry 1 o'clock appendix, I.W.B. concealed, and I need my off hand to defeat my garment.
Slow is fast. Remember that. Your point about bad habits is critically important. Learning bad habits is easy. Unlearning them is very much more difficult.
Great advice! Yea from the get go probably most shooters really don't draw efficiently. In addition don't grip and sight very well too. Jerry Michalek teaches keeping head and stance but not the draw, grip shoot....en total....
Thank you Sir, I've never used my other hand in the same way as you were, but most definitely makes sense, as I'm watching myself. Now I've got to get my muscle memory to respond in this way, since for the last 17 years I'm been doing it differently, thank you again!!... The Widowmaker a man of God!!... "E Pluribus Unum" D'n Deus Le' Vult!!...
i love this guy! reminds me of my uncle! Same moustache, same haircut, same dressing style.😄👍 i wonder what kind of lighting they were using that made that Glock look blue though?🤔 come on, don't lie, i know a bunch of you all thought that gun was blue just as i did. like "what the??" 😄
Chief, thank you. I would love to see alternative holster positions taught - wearing a jacket, fanny pack, ankle and backpack. The nature of my work does not allow a belt carry position.
There are people who think they are knowledgeable, and those that actually are. We are dealing with the latter. I've been shooting for more than 50 years. Nonetheless, this was a good presentation and I left with more smarts than when I came.
Mr Gordon! I was a corpsman at 3rd phase around 2012, you, Coch and chief Kent would let me shoot with the class and give me tons of advice, i credit you guys with me getting a perfect score on the Worldwide Protective Services shooting test after I left the navy. super happy to see you teaching, hope to join one of your CQB classed in the near future.
you can almost feel how genuinely he wants his listener to understand everything he's sharing. Thank you very much, Sir!
Ya think?
Hes the diff between a real teacher and instructor. Thank You
This was the exact way I was trained when I joined the navy. This is the most concise no nonsense instruction video I have ever seen. I will be sending this to family from now on.
Excellent teacher. I love the off-hand position explanation. You see so many "teaching" the palm to the chest. But the knife hand makes more sense for real life, combative, purposes.
This man is an absolute HUMBLE badass! Thank you for your service, Chief!!
Right
I think he could whoop ass without having a gun.
Most of them are. BUDS teaches humility 1st. And acting like a BA often starts trouble. If you're skilled at killing, the laws disfavors you, over a civilian. " the best defense, is not to offend". Confucius
What a great video. Simple fundamentals taught by someone who really trains like a dad teaching his kids how to shoot.
This trainer is awesome!
Thanks Chief. Nicely demonstrated with out all the tacticool b.s. I'm now 68 years old, been shooting all my life, and hope I can still learn something every day. Just found this channel and am subscribing.

What a great way to teach very humble very simple very patient probably the best lesson on how to draw I've seen
I stumbled upon this video by accident and I'm glad I did. I've been shooting for years but the way the World is going it's time to learn the finer points and proper way to do it for protection. Thank you for your service and the great video!!
Thank you a lot Chief. You are a very very good teacher. Everyone who owns a Handgun should have such a good trainings adviser.
This is the easily the best instructional video on how to CORRECTLY draw your pistol ever made. Clear, easy to understand for new shooters and even seasoned shooters like myself. Thank you sir.
It's these guys that make America Great!

This is one of the best how to video, I've seen, Gordon thanks for the detailed explaination and attention to detail and sharing with us!
This Chief is the man! "Maybe next week you can be John Wick, but this week, practice." 🤣🤣😂😂
Is this Commissioner Gordon??

The kind of teacher you just wish for.
Thanks for sharing.
It’s a comprehensive way of drawing a pistol from a owb holster in an effective way. Thanks for this video, I like it!

Just saw this..Thank you Chief for your lesson and thank you for your service...
The algorithm brought this one back from the dead. Solid instruction for new shooters. No high speed bs just good safe technique.
The tip about putting the thumb on the back of the gun when drawing is a game changer for me as far as keeping my gun steady during recoil.
Thanks! I was taught palm across chest. I have been shooting now about ten years and learn a couple of things new each time I watch a video. The support hand under the chin is a great new technique for me. Reminds me of the knife hand (old jarhead). Can't wait to incorporate it into my draw.
Don’t be John Wick the first week. Wick week is the second week. First week is weak week.
Excellent presentation with multi perspective demonstration. Your steps are precise and straightforward …movements That are easily replicated and practiced. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
A comprehensive guide for beginners and probably some experienced folks.
Great video and thanks for sharing.
Recently took an NRA CCW course and in both their draw and reholstering process required 7 steps: Access, Grip/chest, Pull, Rotate, Join, Extend, target & fire. This process does work but it just doesn't feel like a smooth fluid action.
Your method seems to move naturally and be of one motion while still being very safe.👍
I have been doing it flat. I’m going to try this method. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much Chief Evans- very clear. I like the surrender approach while waving the weak side hand as you back up for the real move.
Thanks Chief! Fantastic information. I will practice this at my next trip to the range. God bless!
What a pleasure it is to learn from you! Great lesson!
Thank you for an amazing advice, I was troto so everything fast, and now I understand why I missed so many rounds.
This guy makes solid content!! Thanks
Thank you, I learned a LOT from this as I am a new holster shooter.
Nice information, and I usually video when I practice, so I can review what some of the mistakes are and how to correct them 😊
You still got it Chief!
Great teaching, Chief. Would like to see how you would modify the draw from appendix for those of us who don’t live in an open carry state. 😀
What a great instructor - thanks Chief!
Clear and concise. Thanks.
This along with coch's shooting from concealment vid is gold.
I think your training will help me as a security guard and I do appreciate the advice Sir
Chief Great video
I’ve been to a number of classes and schools none of which spent enough time on this fundamental skill.
Worse yet every instructor had their favorite. I’m keeping your video for rep practice !!!!
What a great teacher.
Wow, what wisdom. Thank you Chief!
This is golden. Revealed several bad habits I have developed.
Great instructions from a great instructor!
Thank you for your demonstration it’s very helpful to new beginners.
I appreciate your time Chief
Learned something new about strength angle of your support hand - thanks
Really good instructions - thank you.
Excellent technique presentation. Perfect. I use these methods. Also teach green people on first steps with handguns.
Blessings to everyone
Such a wonderfull way to teach !
Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Nicely Done, love this style of training.
You guys got the best videos thank you. I do the same thing but all backwards and wrong.
one thing that I find interesting, people talk about the relatively "easy draw" from standing (yes ones to practice drawing), but when sitting it harder to draw from IWB or OWB, how do you draw from a sitting position? how do you draw sitting in a car with the seat belt on?
In my limited experience (dry firing) sitting in a car with seatbelt, it’s definitely easier aiwb.
Excellent instructions!!! Thank you.
Excellent video! Very well demonstrated. I learned a lot from this! Thank you!
I learned how to draw from justified great series
:)
Quick comment. I'm new. This was great. Slow. Perfect practice.
Great video. I'm sure you have helped countless people. Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated. God bless
Great work for beginners
Thank you. Extremely helpful. Every action has been analyzed and structured.
Excellent information for open carry, sir. And, well presented. As far as the hand to the chest goes, I cannot do that. I carry 1 o'clock appendix, I.W.B. concealed, and I need my off hand to defeat my garment.
good point.!!!!!!
Always open mind for learning
Relevant given the world today.
Thank you chief gordon
Thank you Sir !
This is a great instruction from the BEST INSTRUCTOR
Excellent instruction!!🇺🇸👍
Very informative and explanatory..
Thanks for sharing
What great instructions! Thank you!
Slow is fast. Remember that.
Your point about bad habits is critically important. Learning bad habits is easy. Unlearning them is very much more difficult.

Thank you so much for this newbie CCW

Thanks Chief, great video
Excellent instruction.
Great advice! Yea from the get go probably most shooters really don't draw efficiently. In addition don't grip and sight very well too. Jerry Michalek teaches keeping head and stance but not the draw, grip shoot....en total....
Thanks for this vidéo. very clear and detailed explanation. 👍🏻
Thank you Sir,
I've never used my other hand in the same way as you were, but most definitely makes sense, as I'm watching myself.
Now I've got to get my muscle memory to respond in this way, since for the last 17 years I'm been doing it differently, thank you again!!...

i love this guy!
reminds me of my uncle! Same moustache, same haircut, same dressing style.😄👍
i wonder what kind of lighting they were using that made that Glock look blue though?🤔
come on, don't lie, i know a bunch of you all thought that gun was blue just as i did. like "what the??" 😄
Chief, thank you. I would love to see alternative holster positions taught - wearing a jacket, fanny pack, ankle and backpack. The nature of my work does not allow a belt carry position.
Pleasure to watch.
Appreciated
Excellent video .. your explanation all make sense.. thank you sir!
Danke für die super Erklärung! Grüße aus Deutschland! Semperfi!
This is actual teaching
Thank you! Very thorough.
excellent video Chief!
There are people who think they are knowledgeable, and those that actually are. We are dealing with the latter. I've been shooting for more than 50 years. Nonetheless, this was a good presentation and I left with more smarts than when I came.
Finally got all the answers I had questions to👍
Good teacher👍🧠(from Hungary😊)
Right. Wearing my winter coat and winter gloves in a dark parking lot I'm going to be a fast draw.. haha lol
Thank you sir will surely adapt it to my system!
