With the left handed argument you kept your right eye down the sight had you switched eyes your exposed profile would of been less
You can switch eyes without changing your grip. I don’t recommend switching eyes. Yes less is exposed, but you are switching up your normal, practiced shooting which means you will be a little slower on target. Put your best foot forward, get on the sights quicker, and do the rest of your hiding behind a wall of lead
By one bullets width?
@@travisgreenough6460 lol nice one depends on calibre and more like 4 or 5.
Im not advocating switching hands and eyes at all just pointing out something referring to exposure. Playing paintball (yes its different OK) we switched hands and eyes to minimise exposure so all the enemy saw was the barrel with your eye running over it, no shoulders nothing. Very small target to hit
Less is more?
And if you're right eye dominant then you'd miss each and every time.
I'm a half-way left-hander, although I shoot right hand strong side. When I switch to left hand, I naturally use my let eye. People are different. Use what works for you.
1) hold gun sideways to improve accuracy
2) push gun forward to push bullets faster
3) grab crotch while firing
FrankieTheWop 4) use reverse psychology and point the gun in the opposite way you want the bullet to go
5) lose the fire fight and scream racism
I wonder how many people are laughing at this but never the video to which this references.
This sounds like most gangster style.
I always grab my crotch when it’s about to fire
ALL my pistols were hitting low and left, so I used a vise and a torch and bent all the barrels up and right! That fixed it! Now they don't hit anything!
lmfao
I have bended a silencer up and right and put it to my gun

@@Peter-ff1tp welp, most crimes in new york does not involve guns. Its usually knives. Also, im not sure where you got the statistic about less crimes. I recommend comparing the increase in crime rate in set years to determine crime, for not all cities are the same and there is too much variables to account for when comparing 2 cities from different nations directly. (I'm korean btw. Feel like you cant take away the liberty that was given for centuries with one legislation)
@@Peter-ff1tp did you mean that london has 2/3 as more murders than new york or 2/3 of the murders in new york? These two minor word choices can change the definition quite singificantly.
@@Peter-ff1tp well then David Lee responded correctly when he first answered you. Because you are saying that England had less murders than NY....and he's explaining why that statistic may be. Also, no point in being a dickwad with your condescending response when he wasn't saying anything provocative or negative to you.
Jim, that’s ok brother. The British army are always under funded, under fed and under equipped. But we always pull it out of the bag.

I had someone tell me" Firearm training is a waste of time cuz paper targets dont shoot back"
He was serious.
I wish I said "Would you go to the range if they did?"
Neither do people if you get them good on your first shot.
I get what he saying. But u need to train. Now yeah if u get in situation where ur life on line ur services or going to as good. But ull be better with training than without. U make the mistakes in training. Not in real world
LMFAO !
Sounds like a guy that’s never been shot at nor had to shoot at someone. What you should have told him was that he’s a dipshit. Lol
That would actually be awesome if they had paintballs or something.

“.. you can’t get a girl pregnant if she’s on top, you know, because of gravity.”
Facts lol
I always thought the same thing, but my son has made me question this theory. Only logical solution is vaginas are completely immune to the laws of physics and inside exists a black hole void of gravity designed to steal man juices and devour dick tad poles. I brought this theory up with my wifes doctor who disagrees but he kept trying to give my pregnant wife a pabst beer so what does he know?
@@dustinp120 Probably knows more than you and your son...? 😂

P.s. I meant that as in I have a son who was conceived in such a manner, though he is smart for a 2 year old that is not a subject he personally brought up.
@@dustinp120 hilariousness! People lack a sense of humor nowadays!
Every time I shoot a round I’ll reload. It’s how I learned on cod and it works
how is the running around with 6 guns and a 1000 rounds for each, while sprinting full speed and jumping over walls working out for you? I cant seem to pull that off even with spinach.
There's this weird glitch with my guns. All my magazine loaded ones only reload partially when I reload after each shot, like some rounds are missing. I thought they restocked when I pocketed them????

worst advice ever.
"You don't need another Gun"
Michael Dingding that’s actually a good advice. Depending on how good u are with a gun. If you are above average that’s a great advice.
yeah i only carry one magazine in my waist pistol and one magazine in my ankle revolver and another mag in my other ankle revolver
I would like this comment, but it has 69 likes so I will leave it out of respect.
Always have two... and don’t carry something that you’ll miss for a couple of years if you’re involved in a shooting.
@@briandavenport8971 precisely the reason i got an m&p to carry instead of a high end sig or cz. Or something even more expensive. I see people carrying $1500-2000 1911s and i just dont get it. You have to constantly think that the gun is going to get confiscated by the cops post-incident, or even stolen. Though the latter is easier to prevent

Coyote Bite 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Hmm possibly if firing in a dark room to preserve your night vision, and your gun has some exceptional muzzle flash, and you've already identified your target, and they are in a funnelpoint that inhibits them from moving any direction except towards you or directly back, and your on target when you pull the trigger. Better yet just keep your eyes open.
Yeah if you're shooting a 1800s flintlock
So when I got my Glock 26 and put new sights on it I was having a lot of troubleshooting down and right as a left-handed shooter. I was at the range and I asked the guy next to me who "seemed like a pretty good shot" with his G19 if he could see if the sights were off. He picked up my gun and shot rounds into the same hole practically at 10 yards and then did some similar crazy tights groups at 25 yards......Well, I was amazed. He spent the next 60 minutes teaching me trigger control and the effects of anticipation flinching. After an hour he said "normally I charge for that but I see you here a lot putting the time in". I later found out he had been a firearms instructor for 30 years that taught LE Officers. Pretty cool dude! Never know what can happen at the range, both good and bad.
Shooting community is pretty great.
Lucky you, a whole hour of one on one instruction for free. Firearm classes can get pricey and thats with multiple people getting trained as well
Good for you bud!
Want my 27? I hate that thing. I have huge hands and I bought it without holding it and I hate it. I even had all kind of crap done to it.
HAha. Had same thing happen to me at LEO academy. We had an FBI instructor helping out. Long story short, he completely obliterated the X with my 6" Colt Trooper. Nope, wasn't the sights.
When you pull the trigger on a loaded gun and it misfires, immediately look down the muzzle to check for a stuck round.
If you can't clear it out with your finger, try to suck the lodged round out. Only risk is looking a little gay
Your doing it all wrong, shove your fingers down the barrel to clear the jam

Once the magazine is empty, make sure you remember to throw the gun as hard as you can. That way you're guaranteed to get some solid damage in on the bad guy before closing the gap with your dragon kick.
Hahahaha uhhhh gotta love and hate movies at the same time.
I seen predator with the wife at the movies last night and the main character threw his gun at a predator I almost died laughing.
dantesinporno that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I am an old old instructor specifically 72 years young and I am proud of you for addressing these issues. I heard this BS from so-called firearms experts for years. Stay after these idiots.
JUST discovered your videos.... I grew up on a large farm in Alabama, and have shot guns forever, and Sold them professionally for a retailer... but I'm finished teaching my friends/family/etc about guns.... YOUR explanations are somehow so simple and coherent that its EASY to watch you and follow your meaning and explanations.
I'll send everyone here from now on!
Great video!
Worst advice I ever heard: "Don't use a gun it is a liability, Just call the Cops".
Me:"you cant shoot me, i just called the cops"
Criminal:"damnit" **puts down gun and surrenders**
Its only a liability if he lives lol dead men tell no tales and dont charge for disabilities. (Legal logic)
I know right. Seriously, you won't get arrested for killing a person that's shooting at you. In certain states ( like Alaska ), you can shoot robber even if he doesn't pose life threat. And you can shoot rapist in Alaska too.
Fly Eagles Fly yup, certain crimes, such as armed robbery, kidnapping, sexual assault, and homicide can be met with deadly force without legal repercussions. However, you need to be careful, as you can still potentially be charged for either homicide or manslaughter if someone can prove that the force used was too extensive (magdumping a 30 rounder into a dead assailant’s head) or the situation wasn’t one that warranted deadly force (burglary suspect wasn’t armed, but you shot him because you thought he was). I live in AZ, so I’m not sure about other states’ laws, but just be careful, and don’t be too trigger happy.
fkn idiot
I've heard that left hand switch thing so many times in my comments section when I shoot barriers...
To be fair, Ken Hackathorn taught us this in 2013.
Well dude you obviously should just switch to lefty when you have to BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
I think this comes from people being taught to switch shoulders with their rifle when coming around barriers, which is completely and totally different. As John points out, no need with pistols.
Steven Seagal style
Works better for long guns.
"Keep your guns unloaded at home in a locked safe & your ammo in another room in a locked safe". Edit: This is a mockery of the idea. Do not ever keep your guns away from the ammo, ever.
@mike cafano Tell him you called the police & you are unarmed & mean peace, the intruder will take a moment & see the wrong doing of his actions & stop, sit down & talk about his problems with you til the police arrive to rehabilitate him.
*if you dont have kids
in chinese military camp they actually do this, to prevent rebellion.
You do want to keep the guns unloaded though. The ammo can be right next to them but do not store guns with ammo loaded, that is a great way to encourage accidents to happen.
@@ShiningDarknes If by that you mean keep a loaded magazine in your handgun but not one in the chamber while you're at home but when away from home always carry one in the chamber? Then, yes.
Shooting without aiming is like playing guitar without looking at your hands. Its the goal, but not the way to practice. Great video
until i practice enough
That doesn't work so well with alot of firearm disciplines. But, self defense is a discipline that is unique. You need those sights to help you know your presentation is going to be putting shots where you want them. Saves alot of ammo. But, practice live fire is a must. TRAIN.

The up-and-right aiming thing is like adjusting the steering wheel on a misaligned vehicle.
It’s called Kentucky windage and it works.
As a firearm instructor for 30 years, I can vouch for these. Well done and presented. Some of the comments below make me laugh. Keep up the good work in giving solid advice.
As a firearms instructor, I've had students who thought they could forgo potentially killing someone by aiming for an arm or leg instead of upper chest center mass.
BLD Lightpainting I had a friend think that the best thing to do in a self defense situation is to shoot the guy in the leg. I took him to the range and had him shoot a Glock at 10 yards, and he didn’t hit center mass a single time. I asked him how he felt about trying to hit a guy in the leg that is gonna be moving, and he said he changed his logic lol
Even if you hit him in the leg, he'll destroy you in court. A dead man tells no lies. If you're forced to use that degree of force to defend yourself you go for the kill--my CCW instructor pushed that point pretty hard.
In Finland police often shoot people in the leg to defuse a dangerous situation. Large portion of these people survive. Also their hit rate seems pretty good.
@@Proximax9 You don't use deadly force to defuse a dangerous situation, that is what less than lethal devices are for. There may be some rare exceptions to the rule but they are far and few between.
@@phillhuddleston9445 last case I heard was when a man went crazy in a crowded town square and stabbed punch of people. Police decided to react fast and use a fire arm. They shot the guy in leg and he lived to go to jail. Often they use a taser but when it's stuff that requires more rapid response they might use a gun
When I took my carry class, for the first 50 rounds we were not allowed to use the sights. My instructor was roasting me because all the novices were doing better at point shooting. I tried to argue that point shooting is for fast and erradic shooting, not the 10 second draw sequence they were limiting us to, no faster than that. He said nope you arent going to use your sights. Then when sighted fire came along all my muscle memory paid off, to a consistant 2 inch, 6 shot group at 7 yards. He says "I guess I see why you don't like point shooting" god I was so pissed
Ten second draw? Was the gun disassembled? Lol.
Your “instructor” is a tool. There. I said it.
@Nathaniel Shrock precisely, we had to deliberately sloth slow mow draw
By any chance did you see the instructor shoot???? I am guessing no. Which is not surprising .
@@bobstark4020 he demo'd the speed he wants to see, as in move like you are a sloth drawing his gun. Video your self drawing at half speed, then slow it down 50% he wanted us to be deliberate, which i understand but basically made novices afraid of the thing they were there to become comfortable with
I love these kinds of channels that you really can't tell what their content is about until you watch it and it turns out to be legit, thank you for the great content.
psst, that's a hook, not a slice. (we may have just identified PART of your golf deficiency) ;)
🤫
@drgonzo42 same
Joe Shipley I don’t know anything about golf. Figured I’d ask what a hook and a slice is?? I do love hitting pears with a golf club. They splatter.
As he described, it’s not even a hook... it’s a pull.
@ Matthew Nunley
A slice is when you strike the ball with the club face angled away from your body (open) and a hook is when you strike the ball with the club face angled towards your body (closed.) If you're right handed it means the ball flies in a curving trajectory to the right if you slice, and to the left if you hook. Vise-versa if you're left handed. A slice is probably the most common problem in golf swings because it's your wrists and forearms' job to rotate the club through the swing and make sure it is lined up correctly when you strike the ball. It's the rest of your body's job to swing the club. If you worry about hitting the ball as hard as you can, your wrists and forearms don't keep up with the rest of your body, and they don't rotate the club enough on your downswing.
Dude... man to man in a totally nohomo not gay kind of way.. that’s the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen.

I've watched quite a few of your videos. I'm an old former Marine and pistol instructor. You give good advice sir. Keep up the fight. Thank you.
OO-Rah!!!
You already touched on one of the most common ones I see. The "my gun is shooting left or right" etc. New shooters are unaware of operator error and automatically blame the gun. Great video.
Love your vids man...learn so much more from your vids than speaking with others
One time I was shooting skeets and i heard a guy saying to shoot a meter and a half in front of the clay because target shot is so light. I swear to God he didn't hit a single clay that entire afternoon
Riley Thomas, I'm gonna help you out a little. Please bear with me.
You were not shooting "skeets". There is no such thing as a skeet. You were shooting clay pigeons. In the vernacular they are clay birds, birds, or clays, or often just "the target".
The 3 common games are Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clays. Now it does stand to reason that in Skeet Shooting, one should be shooting at "Skeets", bit it just ain't so.
That's the easy part.
At station #4 on a skeet field, 4 feet of lead IS the appropriate amount of lead (roughly). Actually, it's appropriate from any angle, but if the bird is flying strait away (as in Low #7 or hand thrown clays), the eye perceives this as a "dead on" hold. Sounds like B.S., don't it?
To help visualize this, hold a 4 foot stick sideways, with a tack in one end to represent the Clay Target, and a pin in the other to represent the shotgun bead. When sideways it appears to be a 4' lead.
NOW, turn it so you are looking through the bead (pin head) at the bird (tack). It looks like a dead on hold. If we turn the stick around, Looking from bird to bead, it still looks dead on, even though the bead is 4 feet in front of the bird.
Use this to visualize an quartering target (stations 2,3,5,&6), and you'll see that the 3 dimentional 4 foot lead doesn't change, only the way in which your eye perceives it, which is decidedly 2 dimentional.

I just know how less-than-loving some members of the gun community can be. I remember the 80s, when NOBODY called a magazine a "mag" or "magazine". The entire shooting community called them "clips"...until some high handed range ninja a-hole was faced with an experienced student who could see through his B.S., and so he whipped out the technical term "box magazine" to shame the guy, and to make himself look smarter than the old hand in front of the noobs in his class. It's douchey behavior, and it seems like the only defense is knowledge, soooo....
But myself, I say "Bullet clip" just to watch their nostrils flare!....lol
"Carry with an empty chamber! You'll have time to rack the slide!" "Make sure to carry a spam can worth of ammo on you! Never know how much you'll need!" "No need to train! Fundamentals fly out the window in a high stress situation!"
heard all of these then spent more than hour each time arguing why those exact "facts" are stupid ...
- carrying empty chamber is downright dangerous, starting with forgetting to rack and then click on empty through dropping the gun when trying to rack to having accidental discharge because of broken messed up grip on the gun because you have to rack the slide for weapon to actually become one instead of scary looking paperweight ...
- carrying one spare mag is overkill for 99.9% of the time for anyone who is not a cop and needs to pull out a gun, anyone who CCWs more than one spare(and that mostly for malfunction clearing/backup against magazine failure) is probably not right in the head
- and the last one classic ... no fundamentals when properly trained to become muscle memory are what saves lives ... the better your body is trained the less your results will be affected by stress and adrenaline.
"Carry with an empty chamber! You'll have time to rack the slide!" Oh FFS I hear that way way too often. Just makes me want to B**ch slap them when they say it.
Asghaad Brief retort on the spare mag if you’ll entertain it: it’s not for extra capacity. It’s to address the most likely malfunction source in a semiauto pistol.
"But your Glock doesn't have safety" 🙈 my finger is the safety !!
Josh, thats exactly what i sayd up there ... "and that mostly for malfunction clearing/backup against magazine failure" ... a direct quote from my post ...

In boot camp (good old Navy) they TAUGHT us to switch hands and grips to shoot two-handed dominant (right handed) then switch to two-handed support (left handed). Lots of Beretta Bites on the live fire range from guys with thumbs crossed behind the dove tail.
Same here. I was very disappointed.

Must be a pain to lug that door around all day when youre carrying.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got with regards to aiming, was to “look through/past the sights with both eyes.” It made it much easier to get rounds faster on target. You don’t have to wait for that one eye to line up with the front sight your concentrating on, then refocusing on the target maybe../ Idk how it works but it does lol
I was taught to keep both eyes open for short to mid range, extreme long range is ok if you only have one target. I just keep them both open regardless......been working on teaching that to one of my friends. Both eyes open; you will see twice as much.
@@jeremyfredricksen1708 yeah, you kinda have to one eye peep sights for long range
JHON LOVELL=BADASS!! Keep it up man I love your videos they have really helped me a ton! I appreciate all you have done for this country and the shooting community! Thank you!
John, my Glock identifies as a 1911. Should I respect its pronouns and love it for what it is?
Thanks for all the likes and funny comments, folks!
Jaw reconstruction surgery is a very popular surgery.
My Glock identifies as a flashlight, so I can take it anywhere...
I always wondered what happened to Bruce Jenner's Glock from Keeping Up With The Kardashians!
If you lived with demons, you'd lose your shit too!! lol
@@billz1316 LOL, Joe Rogan.
Speaking as a 52 year old man who has lost a lot of his hair, I have to say damn is that raging head of hair or what.
The sea was angry that day, my friends!
lol maby for you but not to me ive got more hair then he does
I'm 23 and bald. I also have to agree.
I'm 68, still have a full head of hair, although mostly gray. Never was as dark or good looking as John's. Must be my genes.
These were actually good tips I didn’t think this video would have any but you actually knew what you were talking about, good job
John, as usual, is spot on. It becomes obvious when you work dryfire sight alignment from the draw, that it's all about reps till you know when you drive your gun, your sight picture will be aligned when you press out. Like John says, the only way to truly develope that is by working sight alignment, not slop pointshooting, expecting it to get better the more ya do it. That's bass ackwards! 😉
I hate when I watch a video, and there’s nothing I can argue about 🤬

Welcome to the internet.
Yea fuck you
How about the fact that, for right-handed golfers, they either slice the ball right or hook it left. There is no slicing left for right-handed golfers, by definition
I have been teaching people to shoot for 48 years. The reason why right-handed people shoot low and left is because of bad muscle control in their forearm. When they're squeezing the trigger with the trigger finger they're also lightly squeezing the entire grip and pulling the firearm left and low with their grip. I have them exercise by dry firing firearm by putting both hands on the weapon or even one, doesn't matter, and not letting the firearm move at all while they're squeezing the trigger. When they can master that it doesn't matter whether they yank the trigger jerk the trigger trigger has nothing to do with it because they're holding the firearm firmly while they are manipulating the trigger. I have never heard of that switching hands bullshit. Seems I missed out on a really good laugh.
Agreed. I still have to watch that. Silhouette shooting competitions really helped me get control over it because you have to shoot one handed.
@@MojoPup when I'm with people and I'm training them to get past that habit I repeat constantly only squeeze the trigger only squeeze the trigger only squeeze the trigger
A state patrol friend of mine told me that if the dominant hand gets injured they will switch but that was the only reasoning behind it.
Recommend those laser light dry fire phone apps like itarget. This is a continuous problem for me that said training rectifies. If the gun doesnt stay straight on target, the laser cartridge will slide down the barrel and hit the floor. Around the 5th time in 10 shots you have to go hands and knees looking for a laser pointer, you get your crap together..
Here ya go...

Thank you again for great information.
Thanks for this video I really liked it. Wish you could do more FAQ and share bad advice you have heard.
First time I shot a pistol was an M&P Shield and I put both hands on it fired a couple rounds and the guy goes woah woah it's called a handgun for a reason you hold it with one hand I'm not even making a joke
😂
In that case I am opening up a vote that we change the word handjob to handsjob.
All those in favor?
Sweater Wearing Squirrel You’ve got my vote.
@@sweaterwearingsquirrel9302 aye
I wonder how he would instruct you to hold a rifle.
Have a good weekend Mr and Mrs Poet.
Great videos as always! So funny, the golf anecdote - My friends always tell me to turn my body right, to take care of the left hook.
Always excellent insight
Bought a Sig P320 and it was shooting down and to the left! At 5 yards it was off the target into the dirt. In order to hit the target I had to aim up and to the right (not kidding). Had range master shoot firearm to verify and indeed it was the firearm and not me. Sent firearm to Sig to evaluate and Sig said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They sent it back and when I received it, the slide assembly and barrel were replaced. Took it to the range and shoots like a champ.
holy shit I thought this was a good joke till I read the second half
Shaun Ryan of Vigilance Elite said this is how his glock 43x was shooting and he believes it could be the weird finish (edit: actually he may have said the finish just sucks). I wonder what it was in your case. We all know Sig has a real tough time admitting mistakes.
That's a good way to check though! Asking a more experienced shooter to see if it's you.
I think my barrel is loose, its shooting all over the paper!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I've heard versions of that. The funniest one was when the sight really was loose and it was a legitimate gun problem.
My response: "Come back when you've had less coffee and see how it shoots then."
Lots of information we could get from your channel! We will surely share your videos with our customers who bought land from us, which are near hunting areas. They also love guns!
Thank you for what you do! I love Warrior Poet Society ❤️
Ok... what about gator rolling on the ground while getting headshots? Saw it in Lethal Weapon... seems legit
kidmosey he trains at the Mel Gibson school for badassery.
"Aim up and right"
*Can literally hear him internally screaming*
I like the way you addressed the point shooting fallacy. I am convinced that you are right, and prior to watching this would have said that practicing point shooting was at least as important as sight firing. Now, I can see that sight firing builds correct muscle memory to make point shooting more accurate even when not looking at the sights in an emergency situation.
It's not a "fallacy". The fact is that different people have different natural skills/talents/whatever you want to call it. There are people who can draw, cook or write and people who can't. There are people who can learn to tap-dance in hours and people that can't do it in months. Training can make a big difference, but it can't create a natural talent out of nothing. The people that can shoot coins out of the air may have practiced - But the potential had to be there to begin with.
Also, the tool makes a difference. I can do point-shooting pretty well with a revolver, not so good with a semi-auto...
You’re brilliant love your videos thank you 🙏🏻
This guy kind of reminds me of John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis
I practically died laughing when you pulled that damn door out and demonstrated your point haha!! It was almost as if you telepathically told us “this is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard...” keep up the great work brother!! Great content!!
excellent advice on sight alignment. Practice, practice, practice, then practice some more.
Good scoop !! Thanks,
3:20
"A door."
I laugh at that. Good video bro.
I've just gotten into firearms and watching everything I can. I'm a big golfer. Turns out shooting is exactly like golf, but with bullets! Tons of myths and bad instruction!
Great video brother!
Agree with you on all and your 3rd error to me is a very important point which I also try and re-enforce with students based on a Muscle memory reflex action. I enjoyed this video very good.
The entire time he was explaining this he was pointing the gun at me! 5:48 I thought I was gonna shit my pants! He never told me if it was loaded or not, I just assumed it was!
No, really though! I have worked with instructors who constantly flag you and don't even know it. I told one instructor that he just pointed the weapon at me multiple time while telling everyone to always keep the barrel aimed at the ground and the only thing you should ever be pointing at is the target down range. When I said that, his response was, "The safety is on, so it's fine" There was a 16yro kid he barely gave any instructions to. He pretty much just loaded the gun and told him "There ya go! It's ready!" Now, in that moment I should've pointed out that they were both facing towards everyone else and not down range like he very half-ass explained, but I just said fuck that! I'm not getting shot while learning how to "properly" use a gun and I walked out. The only safety tips on their wall was "wear ear and eye protection at all times". That's it! I'm from the stix and I know people down there that's never taken a class a day in their life and can teach you how to use a gun better than the professionals can.
You can't see that the slide is locked back throughout this video?
@@Schwarzvogel1 ,
You obviously didn't read the whole thing, but I was making a joke and the simple fact is, it doesn't matter if the slide is back or not you don't point a gun at anything! unless it's a paper target downrange, a mugger or an intruder who just broke into your home.
*some professionals.
Fixed it for you, because it's fucking arrogant and a dangerous precident to assume all professionals are just trying to get one over on you, simply because you aren't educated enough to know what they're talking about.
@@MiaogisTeas ,
Who the fuck lit the fuse on your tampon?!
I saw in a movie how you can curve the bullet and make it shoot around the corner? Is this true?
Yes, but you have to super-elevate your heart rate and find Morgan Freeman
that's the exact second I turned that movie off
I was joking!! I can stop a bullet with my teeth
No, you need to practice with Angelina Jolie. The power of boners always wins
@@Excalibur01 cool I'm ready
Awesome video. My reply is not a rebuttal to your remarks about sight picture and alignment, it is simply me sharing my recent experience.
In the ‘70’s and ‘80’s I was an casual recreational target shooter and hand loader. Until last Sept I had not fired a handgun in 30 years. Last September I acquired a CCW permit and I now train live fire defensive shooting once a week with a coach.
My training gun is a G19. Prior to this, sequential shooting a handgun, with attention to muzzle recovery was never practiced; nor was a timed trigger pull with a moving gun; this is all new to me since last September.
At this point my training is exclusively point-shooting from muscle memory. Early on, my coach put black tape over the sights of my Glock. After awhile I removed the tape but I quickly put it back on.
My current goal is to consistently group 6” at 15’, using muscle memory alone, from high compressed ready, or from retention, with a 90 degree bend in the elbow. On a good day, I am getting close.
My coach occasionally uses 240 FPS video as part of his training. The frame captures roughly 6” in front of the muzzle to somewhere between the grip and my elbow. The camera is perpendicular to the gun, with leveled ruled paper in the background.
It is amazing what the camera captures at this frame rate. With the sights visible to me and at 240 FPS you can see the gun “swimming” as my brain tries to line it up with the target. When I hyper-extend, the camera picks-up the muzzle dip; not to mention the gun roll as I assault the trigger. I cannot see or feel any of this in real time!
I’m a much better target shooter than I was in the past, but I’m only target shooting when my coach indulges me, which isn’t very often.
This whole experience reminds me of Yoda telling Luke Skywalker to “clear your mind and use the force.” Crazy chit, if I do say so.
Great video thank you for the advice good stuff
"never carry a round in the chamber. It's to dangerous!!"
Yeah I laugh my ass off at people who say that
Same.
waldo mcwanw it is too dangerous. It’ll get me killed because I can’t rack the slide fast enough before the butthole raises and shoots me.
That's one that drives me crazy too. I think the Israelis made it popular a few years ago to carry with an empty chamber. You want your gun to be dangerous at a moment's notice, that's kinda the point.
Just took my LTC in San Antonio a few weeks ago and the man teaching the class said no one should carry a round in the chamber on top of spewing other crazy stuff. I was tempted to walk out.
@@chrisjones6002 Try the old west, just people stuck on the old single action mentality of having the chamber under the hammer empty. It never went away even with autoloaders, there was always Military and Police carrying that way, post WWII it rightfully fell out of favor with more modern auto loaders and safeties. With the Israelis sticking to the traditional condition 3 carry. Some of our US service members still carry their sidearm this way for whatever reason.
That said I am keeping a round in front of the firing pin on everything but a pot metal SNS or a fixed firing pin SA revolver. Even my AR isn't kept "cruiser ready" but truly ready to rock. Beyond the time it takes the sound of chambering a round instsntly gives away your location, and the fact that you are armed. No buenos.
As a police officer, the amount of cops I hear say that you'll never use your sights in a real shooting scares the hell out of me. You'll see em if you train to see em. That's how it works. Mind you, these aren't cops that are training to point shoot either. They just don't train.
Some of the most incompetent shooters I've seen on a range have been cops.
Brian - Completely agree. And they can't shoot worth a #$%&, either. 😉
Front sight press, front sight press.
Training, studying the law, we suck at a great deal of things. Some of it is management budget but no excuse for lack of personal commitment
@@The_SmorgMan I was going to say that a LEO who is a bad shot probably only gets in the range time budgeted by the department and no more. But we all should know that they have so much more to do than shoot. Write reports, answer calls, write reports, attend meetings, write more reports...
immikeurnot
Glad I'm not alone. They're in a close tie with military guys, who usually brag about how well they qualified with their sidearm. Sad part, these are the guys anti-2a folks hold up as the few people qualified to carry firearms.
I've met plenty who were good as well, but they were gun guys before their profession too. It's almost like people who are passionate about something are usually good at it lol
alright… I’ve been watching your channel recently as I bought my first pistol and I’m also an avid golfer. The fact that you made that slice comparison makes me like you even more! Lol
I appreciate the advice, thank you
“Put your finger on the trigger to rest”- some hippie
Jamer360 A I’ve spent about 2 hours using guns (only 1 session) and even I can tell that it’s not a good idea. Mind you I had pretty decent accuracy and could hit most targets.
ConTDM dude it’s a joke
Lil hello from Poland.
Once i've take a shooting class with SpecForce instructor. He teach us to switch hands and eyes while we using cover. Right side - right hand and eye, left side - left hand and eye. His argument was: this way we minimize our body esposure.
A hint: He's a medic in his squad, and he's lefty. Rest of the guys is right handed, so like he said, he's working within squad like righty. So he forced us to adapt, like he did ;)
He has a point, but I think there is a greater point - under fear / stress / time constraints - go with simple and intuitive. Hand and eye confusion is too high a price for the 2 inches you gain from switching eyes. Two handed shooting with a switch accomplishes no reduction in profile though. Don’t trade a dollar to get a dime! I would like to hear his medic advice though.... ;)
John Lovell i don't know if this is comparable - i used to be left handed, then turned to right handed, but i stayed lefthanded for weapons, and i learned how to use right hand for shooting as well, even when my left side feels more natural, and i learned this while playing airsoft, and i still switch hands when cutting corners (left-left, right-right),i also notice that less experiened players don't realize that when they cut left corner right handed, they expose their body before their gun, making an easy target, is it bad when i tell them to try to learn shooting with each hand?
I'm new to shooting, and you're exactly right. When I shot my first mag, it would go down and left a lot.
John! You gotta mention lolly popping the red dot onto the front sight post. I just had this 2 days ago on Bragg.
I can't stop looking at John's hair
Gaaaaaaaaay!
"But wait, there's more!"
