      Everything you do in front of a camera sends a message to the person who watches it. Some subtle some are more obvious. Speech patterns and body language are almost more important then the message being delivered depending on the audience. Tactical Hyve appears to be elite in all aspects of his performance and that in itself will turn some people off. Grain o salt needs the internet.

    It’s been about 10 years since I went and got my concealed hand gun license. I never ended up buying one. I bought my first hand gun 2 days ago. I watched your videos and went to the range yesterday. I felt much more confident about practicing safe range practices. I put almost all my rounds in a 5 inch shot group at 25 yards by the time I was done. Knowing why I pulled to the left and down on my first 5 rounds made it easy to adjust. I knew my grip was good and had my iron sights correct and my shooting posture. That meant it was how I was squeezing the trigger. I forgot to ensure I was pulling back with the meaty part of my finger. Having seen your videos allowed me to make the proper adjustment to fix my shot group and location. I will be taking some self defense classes soon and will be going to the range once a week as part of my continued education and training. Thank you for providing great content!

    This is by far my favourite channel when it comes to handling a 9mm. I think this guy is very clear, a good teacher. I am about to shoot field shooting (hitting different small targets of various colors and sizes, fixed or appearing/falling, on various short times, like 9-15 seconds) on national level, national championships, for the first time and the 9mm is for me the most difficult. I have a hard time controlling recoil and the gun moving in my hand/hands. Not all stations have two hands, some just one.

Shows that I really have been doing it right all these years. In my time we instructors learned by experience and observation relating to results, not so much reading and research. Seems all that experience paid off and showing by your demonstration here I observed the wrong things correctly. It's basically a confirmation of what I've been doing. Great demo....thanks again.

    i've had my pistol for 9 years. all day long, i can dry fire at home with an inverted .22 casing on top of the slide and it rarely falls. when i get to the range, my shots are always low and left. snap caps show that i flinch while anticipating recoil. my performance at the range leaves me discouraged, disappointed and embarrassed. i refuse to give up. i'm eager to employ Myles' techniques at the range. it's gonna be work but worth it. thank you sir.

    • @redrock425
      @redrock425 3 года назад +1

      I'd suggest starting with a .22 and working up the calibres. Check your grip, not only where but how you grip. Uneven pressure can cause issues. Get a revolver and get someone to put random empty cases in, check for flinches on the empties. Do more slow fire precision shooting, that shows up your technique very well. Lots of ways but good luck.

      My dearest Bob King. I don’t know the answer but we all have a little “LowLeft” in side of us. You can check grip and pressure. Finger position and dry fire. It’s the journey that makes it all worth it. The destination is never satisfying. Perfection is strived for but never achieved. I find talking shit at the range helps when I can’t quite shoot straight.

    You guys are great. Having watched this video before. While comparing different targets shot with various firearms and some secondary single-handed. Good groupings but high. I remember at the range, making adjustments, focused on the typical reasons for high placements. Tightening my wrists, not pushing but following through. Then watching you shoot, no I did lean forward. My knees were not bent deeply enough. You were solid sumo rooted to the ground. Always learn from your community. Bend my knees in Kumite, fencing, etc. I blame my personal coach, Mantisx, for not advising me. I kid you, again thank you & I learned about Mantisx from you which is a great system.

    Wow, finally a young instructor who discusses stance and stability, the need for cover in defensive shooting, and importance of smooth trigger pull. Upright isoceles is for glamour photos and ego competitions. In real life combat, good stance, move to cover then return fire. If you are a civilian with no body armor, don't square off to a target - you simply make yourself a larger target. Take a blade position to reduce tactical profile. Move to cover, then return fire, with which ever hand is available. Pratice shooting single handed with both strong and weak hand. A slow hit always beats a fast miss.

    Good presentation. Many points to learn from. When I took my handgun training, many years ago, my instructor taught us the "target on sight" method. Reasoning: with target on top of sights, the shooter can see where the bullets are hitting the target. Other methods are "sight on target", where the sights are aligned with the center of the target. I do not know which method is best, but I fall back on my training and it has served me well for many years.

    Great video. Very informative and detailed. I especially like how you demonstrated the “wrong way” to do certain things and we can clearly see WHY they are wrong. It was kinda funny how you gripped the gun too low but still managed a very respectable group. I’ve been an instructor of many things physical but found that demonstrating the “wrong way” to do them was almost impossible. Muscle-memory and repetition sometimes doesn’t allow you to do it very wrong. I saw that happen to you and I had to laugh.

    Well presented. Thank you. I find lessons that show both the problem and the solution and why the problem happens and how to fix with proper visuals. Then showing it with live fire both ways is great. Another issue I notice a lot is because I used to do it when I started. Riding the slide stop on certain models and then that last round fires and ejects and you just see smoke coming from the barrel but the slide didn't lock back. For anyone reading who also have done this I was taught to put an ex on my support hand right around the top of the web of that hand and then place my strong hand thumb on that X instead of the slide stop. It's only with certain models like the canik tp9 elite sc which I love and is my edc. But the slide stop button is very long. It's the only thing I wish they changed with it and if so it would be my favorite hands down.

There is one little tiny detail that will come up the day you will have to shoot for your life eventually , and that s stress and the adrenaline influx which will make most people forget about any technique they should use and end up crappy shooting . Therefore if you re just a random Joe planning to get a weapon to defend your family , get a shotgun , stress or not , you sure won't miss :) And if you have more than 2 braincells fighting for domination in your mind , you won't get a gun anyway :)

      @@VanBruceArrant when a gun is used in an honest to goodness self defense situation, you best believe law enforcement gets involved, that’s one of the things you must do AFTERWARDS. When investigations are finished, and it’s found that person acted in self defense, they won’t get jailed, Provided they ALERTED AUTHORITIES and give an accurate portrayal of what happened. you’re right about the second part, though, no news station would cover story after story of “person rightfully defends life with firearm” because there’s no one to point a finger at and blame; Perhaps the criminal who was stopped, but that doesn’t fit the media’s agenda that “Guns bad”

All my practical competition guns in both 2011 (double stack) and 1911 are STI’s. My gunsmith invented and co-patented the STI in the early 1990’s. Most all good competitors follow these basics. I have taught the same basics at a la enforcement academy, instructor certifications and to the basic armed citizen.

    Just got this in my recommendations, some very good points made. There is a little bit of a problem involving the GRIP, mainly the OFF SIDE HAND.
    I state this because I have seen the GRIP being taught several DIFFERENT ways. I personally believe the differences are due to the AGE and/or WHERE the INSTRUCTOR was taught!!!
    Allow me to give an example of the DIFFERENCES I training done in the US Military over the years. When I enlisted in the Marine Corps in the mid 80s, we were taught the RIFLE stayed in the shoulder and moved ANYWHERE you looked. I took a training class back in 2002 and there were a lot of "INSTRUCTORS" going through the class with about 15 other people. The class was taught by a former Tier 1 guy that I will NOT NAME!!!! He is a GREAT GUY. The "instructors" started having a fit when another guy my age went through one part of the class. They were SCREAMING to lower the rifle and engage the safety. The guy did the same thing I did ( no idea if they were yelling at me because I tuned everything out when I got set). Both of us fell back on mid 80s training, rifle up, moving with your eyes and head.
    They were not taught this.
    I went through basic when we shot the 1911 and the M9 was shot for FAMILIARIZATION ONLY. The CORPS WAS NEVER GOING TO ADOPT A 9MM OVER GOD'S ROUND!!!!!
    The point is some people WERE TAUGHT OFF SIDE THUMB OVER DOMINANT!!! Once that MUSCLE MEMORY IS THERE it is VERY difficult to break!!!!
    I could go on, but I think the gist has been made. Whatever you do, do not get me started about sights on a pistol!!!!

    I get that the flag thumb looks cool and all, but it isn't all it is cracked up to be. You do not have to have a gap with the off hand when the thumbs are down. Flag thumbs are another fad just like offhand index finger on the front of the trigger guard was. It largely disappeared because it weakens the grip. Flag thumb does too.
