    Myles, you commented that training and practice never end and that is most certainly the case if you want to hone and retain your skills. But, for many of us watching, particularly those of us on fixed income, the high cost of today’s instruction and ammo preclude the possibility of hands-on training at all, so, the importance of training videos by Tactical Hyve and other entities are the only practical way to learn and reiterate fundamental and advanced pistol skills. So, keep ‘em coming!

      .22lr is always a cost effective option for live fire and teaches 85% of what you will need. 15% is recoil control on a bigger caliber which 22lr will not teach.

      A dry fire mag is about a hundred bucks. If that’s steep simply dry fire or a few snap caps. There’s a button load of options on Amazon and if you google “dry fire” tools, you’ll come across some amazing tools to save money. Good luck

    I got my first gun a few months ago with the goal of CCW. I'm 67 years old and haven't fired any weapon since my USAF days back in the 70s. Training resources in my area of Las Cruces NM are slim once you get beyond CCW classes. Figuratively I was wandering in the dessert trying to train/practice. Basically for a few months I was only target shooting with some basic concepts about grip but still shooting terribly. Everyone I talked to kept saying I was "flinching" but couldn't tell me where/how.
    Without sounding like a commercial wannabe I learned about the Mantis system and some of the pros like yourself spoke highly of it. In fact, your "thumbs up" on it was the turning point. I started using the Mantis a couple weeks ago with dry fire and it gave me the feedback on my problems to give me a starting point. I worked it hard in the accuracy mode (not even trying drills yet or drawing...later for that) and saw my scores improving. I'd dry fire 50-100 shots a night for a couple weeks.
    Today I went to the range for the first time in a few weeks and with the Mantis in live fire mode I could correlate some of the dry fire results with live fire. I was able to tweak my grip a bit more with live fire and walked away from the session for the first time NOT feeling like a really bad shooter. My current goal is to keep my dry fire average scores in the 90s and my live fire average scores in the 80s.
    The Mantis also has given me some drills that will help me better zero in on some micro goals. It helps keep me thinking ahead. Your tips on "training" vs "practice" really helps me start mapping out a slow but deliberate plan towards improvement.
    THANKS!!!

    I attended a class last week and discovered many flaws in my stance, grip, trigger control and especially flinching or recoil anticipation. I asked the instructor for some help and he asked to see my gun. While I was distracted by another instructor, he removed the rounds from my magazine. When we resumed training, of course I flinched on the empty chamber. Yesterday, I watched your video where you removed all of your fingers from your grip except your thumb and trigger finger. This isolates the trigger finger and takes the “3 Amigos” out of play. I dry fired using this and live fire today at the range. Great improvement. Thank you.

    Thank you so much I am a young competition/performance shooter. I have been successful in the SASP shooting program. This year I have always wanted to move into more challenging shooting sports. When I would go to the range I was able to get about 15 minutes of good practice but then I would get distracted. This video has inspired me to train in a more organized fashion.
    Thank you Miles. God speed.

    I have practically zero shooting experience, but I just want to say that I was looking up videos on how to practice to get better across any and all skill sets. And I want to say this video actually inspired me and reinforced some concepts I had in the back of my mind. Specifically, how you talk about dry firing, which I relate it to practicing isolated techniques, focusing on specific weaknesses, etc. Thanks for the video, and I one day hope to get some shooting experience!

    Totally love this video. A lot of instructors fail to recognize their own early steps and truly fail to step-back to the actual level of any new shooter and in-steer the actuarial process, not to become a Bulls-Eye shooter, but a follow thru to make a confident shooter. LOVE YOUR VIDEO, hope my brother can reap some of your understanding.

    Hi. I just made my first hand gun purchase. So I'm REALLY new to guns, but want to learn the right way (hence this video). Does dry firing weaken the firing pin or striker over time (my handgun is striker fired)? I've read conflicting opinions about this online. I want to make sure it functions and lasts for as long as possible. I don't want to do unneeded damage to the handgun while doing dry fire exercises before I go to the range...for the first time in my life. I'm kind of looking forward to it (understatement). Haha.

    Would you please share with me what holster you are using? It looks like a safariland. I am having a hard time finding the right one. I know I like the Multicam. I want it for my Glock 19x that has a Streamlight TLR-7AH light mounted on it. Please offer me some advice. I have been shooting 1911's most of my life, so I am new to the Glock world including holsters. Any models, brands, and advice you could give would really help me out. I love this channel, and I trust you and your team's advice. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for all the great training videos.

      Dry fire will not harm a center fire handgun. But you should NOT dry fire a .22 or any rim fire gun. This is the only distinction. I have been dry firing my Glock 17 for many years with no problem.
      This is common practice. No worries.

    Constitutional carry
    When the constitution was written, and long afterwards there was not any gun licenses anywhere in United States.
    There is no mention of people being confined to the State they live in order to carry a firearm, and everyone at that time brought their firearm everywhere they wanted to go including across state lines.
    Outside of my home is anywhere in the United States as a legal citizen.
    Because the Supreme Court stated text , history and tradition is to be used, any legal citizen of the United States should be allowed to carry their firearm anywhere in the United States without a license or permit.
    Constitutional carry should be the law of the land.

    Think about the pre-covid price of shooting that much fucking ammo
    There's a local remanufacturing company in my area which used to charge $250 for 1k rounds of 115 grain ball. At 4 days per week, that's a grand a week in ammo
    That's $52,000 a year just in ammo
