Dude, seeing you with a gun actually makes me feel safer around you. No one who's ever talked about firearms with me has ever mentioned dry fire before, and seeing you perform it makes me really believe that it is incredibly crucial to learning and safely firing.
I have crawled my way through too much of gun tube, and this is really one of the (if not THE) most clear spoken , direct, and informative dry fire video I have seen. Will def show to friends.
Great video. Sharing to my personal Facebook group. I might add/restate that dry fire practice doesn’t override the four universal safety rules. ie. Even if you’ve cleared your gun and are in an ammo free environment-if you live in an apartment, for example, you shouldn’t be pointing at dry-fire targets that may have neighbors behind them. Personally, I like to use actual steel ar500 targets and or my plate carrier as an impenetrable dry fire targets combine with a generally safe pointing direction.
Another terrific and informative video. I recently talked a bit about laser training rounds, but the process and instruction offered by this video is far more in depth than I offered. This is terrific. 👍 Keep up the astounding work and stay safe out there!
"Behind this mask... is another mask!" Episodes like that is why I will always defend Naruto's filler. Some of the most mem(e)orable episodes are fillers.
This video is straight out of Borderlands 2, and it's a dream come true. I love your channel! Amazing content. This is literally the best dry fire instruction video that i've been able to find on RUclips in my opinion.
Picked up a MantisX10 a few weeks back. So totally worth it. I actually practice daily now (had dry fire cards for months but they collected dust) and have probably saved 2k in ammo. Great video!
38 thumbs down on this video must be from the keyboard ninjas or wantabees..... I've been shooting since I was knee high to a grasshopper which is 30 plus years in various profession's. I still enjoy quality videos such as this. Thank you
In addition to owning a firearm, it’s a good idea to own, for instance, a tactical slingshot for hunting small game, so you don’t have to waste precious ammunition.
I've subscribed since the beginning of the channel starting video was i think "Basic firearms safety" but seeing the quality of the videos and information being given has improved significantly I've definitely gotten my wife into your channel, keep the work up tovarish
Silly, but this whole process reminds me a lot of methods for vocal practice! A lot of people imagine “practice” is just a whole bunch of singing (or shooting, in this case) and while that’s important on its own, there’s a lot of fine muscular control and bodily awareness you can practice without making a sound (or firing a round 😆). It sounds ridiculous and unnecessary but it’s absolutely crucial if you want to perform well!
Why do I need to make sure that live ammo is safely locked away or in another room for dry fire practice? Other people have told me to do the same while cleaning a firearm. Does ammo pull a Nightcrawler by teleporting into the chamber and/or mag?
So did you hit the slide stop or did the slide go forward on its own like first gen M&Ps? Unfortunately I haven't got much hands on with the P10 series.
Fun thing about the P10C - if you slam the mag in hard enough, it will release the slide. Otherwise, I'm still riding that slide release and depressing it as soon as I feel that mag lock in place.
While not every one has one, your RMR is a great tool for dry fire. That dot tells you everything you need to know and once you have the ability to self diagnose, then you're golden. No need for the penny.
I love your videos, they are so informative and professionally done. If you would like some personal music on your channel let me know, I would love to support you! ❤️
Hello Milou - yes, I'm super happy to feature instrumental tunes by other folks if they're a good fit and support other fellow artists! If you've got something, please run it by, I'd be happy to! Please feel free to message me on any of my social media platforms if any of those work for you.
I noticed that you can incorporate a tap then rack while resetting the trigger, which will add malfunction clearances to your dryfire training. stay safe
Could I also do the coin drill on the slide of the handgun? Or should I balance it on my front sight? it’s dovetailed, so it’d be on the very tip instead of a tiny platform
Really good informative video! Its too bad I live in a fairly populated area so there really is no safe direction for me to point for dry fire. Except for maybe my basement lol.
I feel like many of these exercises can add to the video about buying. trying these things even before going to the range can tell you so much about a firearm. if you don't like it dry, you wont like it live
I love your content, and your presentation. You've become my go-to channel for introducing new shooters. Your sense of style and demeanor can be non-threatening to a lot of those who are less comfortable with firearms. Thanks for being you, and sharing your passion. I do have a couple small criticisms on the content. First, prepping to the wall during presentation, before acquiring sight picture, can be risky. Under stress, this might result in a premature discharge off-target. Even though there is a slight time penalty, I prefer prepping to the wall after acquiring the sight picture. The basic principles remain the same, just hold off a moment on prepping to the wall until the sights are on target. It's a trade-off, safety for speed, so your opinion may differ. The other small criticism is that when resetting, it's best to not come completely off the trigger face. With striker fired pistols, you don't have to reset the trigger all the way back to neutral, you just have to reset to the "tick". To feel this reset, leave the trigger pinned back (for knowledge, this shouldn't become a habit) and rack the slide. Then slowly release the trigger, keeping your finger on trigger face. You'll hear and feel a "tick" when the action resets. This will leave you right at the wall - no need to creep the trigger to the wall, you're already there. This is a challenge to practice with dryfire. Ideally, after the trigger breaks, you reset during the recoil cycle so when your sights come back on target you're ready to break again. With dryfire, you either do as you suggest, and let your finger come off the trigger face (bad habit that encourages slapping the trigger) and rack to reset, or you leave the trigger pinned back (bad habit that slows down follow-up shots), rack, and then reset. Either way leaves training scars. A third option is to get a trigger reset magazine. This will allow for break>reset without racking, but I personally can't recommend the company that manufactures the ones I've seen. Again, I don't know of any really good dry-fire options for trigger reset training. If anyone comes up with any good solutions, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks again for providing this content. You are accessible to a lot of demographics that aren't traditional gun owners, and that's just awesome.
I appreciate the input! I do agree there is a tradeoff from safety to time with pulling the trigger back on presentation. No doubt, that's just the manual of arms I personally advocate, but is worth mentioning as this is all very subjective and just how I personally train and that may not be for everyone! As for the reset, I do agree, you don't need to lift your finger completely off of the trigger here, I was just exaggerating it a bit to demonstrate visually, but yes, normally my finger rides that trigger constantly. However, I do advocate for not relying on fine motor skills (again, manual of arms here) as in a defensive situation, those go out the window fast. That's why I encourage people to not pin the trigger back and hope they can release just to the point of reset under stress. I also find that it is faster to instinctually release then pull to the wall that you can feel more positively, than creep it back to that reset anyhow. Just my take!
@@TacticoolGirlfriend We see eye-to-eye on these topics. Like you said, these are largely a matter of preference. It's a challenge, in a video format, to discuss the safety/speed tradeoff with trigger prep and presentation order without bogging down the video. The same is true for the trigger reset/riding the face. Like most things in shooting, there's cost/benefit tradeoff, and everyone has to find their own balance. I do agree that fine motor skills tend to go out the window under stress, but training under stress can help recapture those skills. That's part of the reason I compete USPSA and IDPA (the other part is that it's fun!). What I've found is that my training habits - and training scars - carry over into competition. For example, I was training draw > dryfire > reload > dryfire. The scar I developed is that the trigger wasn't resetting after the first dryfire, so after the reload, I was getting on the trigger face a bit farther back for the second dryfire. When I went to the match after getting my reloads solid, I was prepping the trigger past the wall after reloads... which meant I was sending a round downrange before my sights were on target. Yikes. I slowed my reloads way down for that match, then spent the next 2 weeks fixing that training scar. Again, I agree, train good habits, trust the training when things get hot, don't make your manipulation too fiddly or it will fail under stress. I just wanted to engage in a bit of dialog about the tradeoffs in the manual of arms you've shared. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to your next video.
I haven't made any of my own yet, but that's a topic I'd be happy to cover in a basic handgun tutorial or something of that sort. Otherwise, you can refer to this really good vid that does the topic justice: ruclips.net/video/KCa6jcfTlys/видео.html
Came across your channel just now on a late-night RUclips deep dive! I've been shooting for about eight months now and very quickly became a dry-fire fanatic. This is great stuff (and a very unique gun channel)! Cool to see you running CZ! My first pistol ended up being a CZ P-01 (I can't get a P-10 very easily or affordably right now as I live in LA and it's not on the Commiefornia roster at the moment). I nearly got a Glock 19, but after much research, CZ seemed to have a very devoted fanbase, especially for CCW folks and competitive shooters. Anyway, definitely subscribing to your channel. It's been great to see more and more women exercising their 2A rights and becoming awesome shooters. I plan to share some of your videos with my female friends. Best!
dumb question, but is there any reason not to use spent brass that you've stuck a new projectile inside? It's just that snap caps are a little pricey in comparison.
Good question. Depending on the firearm and casing, that can cause unnecessary wear and may not seat properly in the chamber without the bullet in the casing.
If you are a reloader, there's no reason NOT to make a set of rounds that have no powder and a pre-fired primer. I've got a set that I've painted bright green with white spirals - so that I can visually recognize them as inert - that have the same weight and profile as my competition ammo. However, you need to resize and swage the casings. When fired, the brass expands inside the chamber, and will be slightly stretched out/warped. First, you need to make sure the casing is the right length, it may need to be trimmed. For rimless cartridges like 9mm, the round head spaces - fits lengthwise - from the front (as opposed to rimmed cartridges, like .357, that headspace from the rim). If the case is too long, the breach might not close completely, so the gun might not go into battery. If the case is too short, the firing pin might not reach the primer, or might light-strike the primer. Once your case is the right length, you'll need to slightly open up the top of the casing to get the bullet to seat properly... but this will make the casing too wide to fit properly in the chamber. Then you need to swage the casing down to the right diameter so that it will fit. So yeah, if you are reloader, go for it. If you don't have proper reloading equipment, it's best to just get a set of snap caps. They are a lot cheaper than regular ammo... and the off-brands work just as well as something named "Snap cap".
I was shocked see the big difference between triggers of different manufacturers. When I was training, they provided a few different guns so we could experiment.
I don't know much about firearms, but dry fire practice reminds me of shadowboxing. You're not REALLY sparring, which is good. You want to be able to memorize and get used to situations where you may miss/you might be off-balance/etc when boxing or doing martial arts. Shadowboxing allows you to fine tune your technique, which seems to be the idea here. :)
Context: I'm mixed-handed/cross dominant Does which eye is dominant factor into which hand you hold a gun it? Struggling with this question in regards to bow and arrow right now, since I can't go outside to try it out with a target (self-quarantined :/ )
It’s more like you’re adjusting to use whichever eye lines up better with your dominant hand. Pick a hand and get used to using that eye first, but you eventually wanna get to where you can keep both eyes open
With pistols, you can use whatever dominant eye regardless, but this becomes more of an issue for long guns, where it makes more sense to shoot with your dominant eye matching your dominant hand (i.e., left eye dominant shooting left-handed), but there are ways around this for folks who are only one or the other and they don't align - largely it is something you can train into, or use certain optics to work around this.
It changes something if i practice with an eye closed?; my presentation isn't that well centered, on distant or semi-distant targets, if i do it with with both eyes opened aiming for center of mass.
We all often start with one eye closed and that's okay. However, you ultimately do want to train to get used to having both open for target acquisition and awareness.
Minor note regarding the trigger "wall" you speak about: I assume quite a few people without previous exposure to firearms watch your channel and I'm not sure if they'll know what you mean by that. Especially considering that not all guns have a two stage trigger. Maybe I just didn't pay full attention but I don't think you explained that so far.
Perchance that the person I'm talking about does indeed exist and ends up reading my comment: >The "wall" (the point after which any further rearward pull will make the trigger "break" and release the firing mechanism) occurs after some amount of primary travel (i.e. take-up). If the wall is very clear and palpable, that's a _two stage trigger_ and with such a firearm, you can conduct the drill that Girlfriend is talking about from 6:03 to 6:59. As far as I know, a vast majority of self defence pistols does (and should) have this king of mechanism. >However, some firearms (usually rifles) have a _single stage trigger,_ in which case the trigger resists with consistent force throughout the entire pull and then breaks without hitting any noticable wall. With such a firearm, you should not do the aforementioned drill, as it is likely to result in a negligent discharge in practice. >Lastly, the basic safety rule No.3 still applies, so keep in mind that this drill is only for the cases where you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you will fire immediately after presenting the gun. >If that is not the case, do not touch the trigger. >>>If I said anything incorrect or misleading, everyone is welcome to point it out :)
Honestly, I found the laser cap as a no-name item on Alibaba of all places - I've never bought anything else from there, but hey, it was cheap and it does the trick so far. Can't say I have any experience with anything else though. I have heard great things about the MantisX system though!
I hope it doesn't come across as self-promoting if I were to slide this video into a comment reply to Wozzi here. :-) ruclips.net/video/cSZ6sIy1Qso/видео.html
Are the wraps around your forearms stylistic or are they for tendonitis? I’m curious because I have been fighting with it while shooting and was wondering if those helped.
I use a rubber band. put all your fingers together like a duck bill, put the rubber band on them and then open your fingers against the pressure of the rubber band as far as you can. just do that as much as ya want/can/ seemed to help me might help you.
I feel like the presentation is getting much more comfortable, and production value is going up. Great work.
You can definitely tell she's getting more comfortable with doing these videos.

I might add/restate that dry fire practice doesn’t override the four universal safety rules.

this is such a good video. you saved my thumb a callus by explaining that you only have to rack the slide half way to reset the trigger

Love this, I’ve dry firing with snap caps since June knowing ammo shortage was bout to happen, good advice 👍🏻
Snap cap are the shit! I usually buy 2 packs of the same ammo type, then just play with them.
i love you. thank you for making these skills accessible, especially for us ladies!
Another solid fundamentals video, thanks. Also, your eyeliner is ON POINT!
And the thick eyebrow really sets the look off by framing the glam eye and balancing it with a dark element. High level technique for sure.
Yay my tacticool gf has posted a video! I need to get to a range but criminey finding a range is annoying af
Try looking for an open field range. Yes they do exist, I've found one but you'll have to look it up since there are some spots
Dry Fire should be incorporated everyday just like any healthy diet or fitness routine. Great Vid Tactical GF
Great video and informative. Your patrons are saints
One of the best dry fire vids of all the GunTubers!
Great video for dry fire practice. I love the way it breaks it down into stages. Well done, TG!!!

I owned lots of guns over my lifetime. I never heard of that dry fire laser. My wife can use that to practice.

Well sh!t I thought I new almost everything about dry fire practice. “Rack the slide half way to avoid ejecting the dummy round.” Good stuff 👍🏼
Doing good work with this channel. Thank you.
Thank you! Great video!
In addition to owning a firearm, it’s a good idea to own, for instance, a tactical slingshot for hunting small game, so you don’t have to waste precious ammunition.
so a coil gun?
Or a .22
Air pellet rifle
why not just set a trap? or learn how to use a traditional sling?

You can use a spent casing as well if your broke for dry firing to save your firing pin
This channel, is phenomenal and really a gift to the viewer. Thanks again for another amazing video comrade :D

If the case is too short, the firing pin might not reach the primer, or might light-strike the primer.
Once your case is the right length, you'll need to slightly open up the top of the casing to get the bullet to seat properly... but this will make the casing too wide to fit properly in the chamber. Then you need to swage the casing down to the right diameter so that it will fit.
So yeah, if you are reloader, go for it. If you don't have proper reloading equipment, it's best to just get a set of snap caps. They are a lot cheaper than regular ammo... and the off-brands work just as well as something named "Snap cap".
Finally somebody that explains why you should not dry fire on a empty chamber thank you sooo much !
I was shocked see the big difference between triggers of different manufacturers. When I was training, they provided a few different guns so we could experiment.
I don't know much about firearms, but dry fire practice reminds me of shadowboxing. You're not REALLY sparring, which is good. You want to be able to memorize and get used to situations where you may miss/you might be off-balance/etc when boxing or doing martial arts. Shadowboxing allows you to fine tune your technique, which seems to be the idea here. :)
Context: I'm mixed-handed/cross dominant
Does which eye is dominant factor into which hand you hold a gun it? Struggling with this question in regards to bow and arrow right now, since I can't go outside to try it out with a target (self-quarantined :/ )
It’s more like you’re adjusting to use whichever eye lines up better with your dominant hand. Pick a hand and get used to using that eye first, but you eventually wanna get to where you can keep both eyes open
@@aarscorpion thanks!
With pistols, you can use whatever dominant eye regardless, but this becomes more of an issue for long guns, where it makes more sense to shoot with your dominant eye matching your dominant hand (i.e., left eye dominant shooting left-handed), but there are ways around this for folks who are only one or the other and they don't align - largely it is something you can train into, or use certain optics to work around this.
@@TacticoolGirlfriend thank you!
@@loganl3746 TRexArms did a video on this some years ago. You may find it helpful

good shit dude
for the algorithm!!!!
I knew the mask-under-mask gag was coming as soon as I saw the big mask but it was still great
It changes something if i practice with an eye closed?; my presentation isn't that well centered, on distant or semi-distant targets, if i do it with with both eyes opened aiming for center of mass.
We all often start with one eye closed and that's okay. However, you ultimately do want to train to get used to having both open for target acquisition and awareness.
@@TacticoolGirlfriend K, many thanks; i've to practice much more, i'm not good yet.
Minor note regarding the trigger "wall" you speak about: I assume quite a few people without previous exposure to firearms watch your channel and I'm not sure if they'll know what you mean by that. Especially considering that not all guns have a two stage trigger. Maybe I just didn't pay full attention but I don't think you explained that so far.
Perchance that the person I'm talking about does indeed exist and ends up reading my comment:
>The "wall" (the point after which any further rearward pull will make the trigger "break" and release the firing mechanism) occurs after some amount of primary travel (i.e. take-up). If the wall is very clear and palpable, that's a _two stage trigger_ and with such a firearm, you can conduct the drill that Girlfriend is talking about from 6:03 to 6:59. As far as I know, a vast majority of self defence pistols does (and should) have this king of mechanism.
>However, some firearms (usually rifles) have a _single stage trigger,_ in which case the trigger resists with consistent force throughout the entire pull and then breaks without hitting any noticable wall. With such a firearm, you should not do the aforementioned drill, as it is likely to result in a negligent discharge in practice.
>Lastly, the basic safety rule No.3 still applies, so keep in mind that this drill is only for the cases where you are ABSOLUTELY SURE that you will fire immediately after presenting the gun.
>If that is not the case, do not touch the trigger.
>>>If I said anything incorrect or misleading, everyone is welcome to point it out :)
Ooh, new info that is of no use to e because I live in the UK. Although I'm sure it will easily transfer to using airsoft guns with my friends.
Dry fire with airsoft is absolutely legit!
Consider joining a gun club! The more new shooters the better!
Any laser dry fire systems you’d recommend?
Honestly, I found the laser cap as a no-name item on Alibaba of all places - I've never bought anything else from there, but hey, it was cheap and it does the trick so far. Can't say I have any experience with anything else though.
I have heard great things about the MantisX system though!
I hope it doesn't come across as self-promoting if I were to slide this video into a comment reply to Wozzi here. :-)

Are the wraps around your forearms stylistic or are they for tendonitis? I’m curious because I have been fighting with it while shooting and was wondering if those helped.
Oh, just aesthetic. Nothing physical there, but there probably are some interesting compression methods for relieving tendonitis out there.
I use a rubber band. put all your fingers together like a duck bill, put the rubber band on them and then open your fingers against the pressure of the rubber band as far as you can. just do that as much as ya want/can/ seemed to help me might help you.
SimeonKelly thanks for the advice!
