John Moses Browning’s .45 caliber pistol, was adopted by the U.S. military in 1911 replacing various revolvers. The M-1911 remained in service until 1987 when it was replaced by the 9mm Italian Beretta designated as the M-9. Many did not see this as an improvement. Pistols are a support weapon and most Soldiers are not […]
There are some trips to the range that I remember very clearly… A decade or so ago, I bought an H&K USPc. I immediately took it to the range, had the sights swapped out, and took it onto the range for a test fire. The darn thing shot low. I took it back to the gunsmith […]

Jacqueline Carrizosa from Machine Guns Vegas lays out the fundamentals of the grip. In this video, Jacqueline explains basic pistol grip video for new pistol shooters and any one […]
Most people who learn to shoot start in the same place. They learn how to grip the firearm, how to line up the sights, how to squeeze the trigger without moving those sights, and how to stand to allow for the most efficient control of the firearm.

I get asked all the time for the best drills to do the next time shooters go to the range. Sometimes it’s the best drills if you only have 1 box of 50 rounds. Sometimes it’s the best drills if you’re at a restrictive range. Either way, there’s no one specific set of drills that’s […]
We’ve got a shooting study group that meets once a month to force us to get out of our comfort zone. It’s all guys who are serious about shooting and can be trusted to move and shoot safely on a hot range in poor conditions. A lot of times, we end up shooting when it’s […]
The guys at Tactical Rifleman have done a great job explaining the intersection of vision and shooting. Most instructors tell you that you should train and shoot with both eyes open. Tactical Rifleman explains why. The importance of training with both eyes open cannot be stressed enough. Karl covers the physiological reasons behind this thought […]
Today, I’ve got 2 common AR-15 training errors that I’m going to take A LOT of heat for pointing out. These 2 inferior techniques/errors are almost sacred cows in the firearms training industry. Almost 100% of the top competitive shooters use them. You see super-high-speed tactical ninjas with Tier I credentials use them. They’re the […]
I’m an advocate of training in your gear and training more than just shot placement and distance. Gear adds a unique challenge to shooting. Shooting a tight Failure-to-Stop drill slick at 25m in under 2 seconds can be simple. However, add a helmet and plates and you’ll find that getting a solid cheek weld and […]
