Trigger Slap Drill for Better Trigger Control

I just ran into a video again from a couple of well known instructors who are great shooters.  They that claimed that you shouldn’t practice a slow, deliberate trigger press because you don’t have time for that in a gunfight. It was one of those times when I hung my head and shook it in […]

When you think about training to use a firearm to stop a lethal threat, it’s healthy to think of it as serious business…because it is.

Slaying 3 Sacred Cows Of Firearms Training

Slaying 3 Sacred Cows Of Firearms Training

One of the things that I find fascinating about the world of firearms training is how fast opinions or personal anecdotes become set-in-stone rules. “Rules” like… The 21 foot rule EVERYONE will have tunnel vision in a defensive shooting situation 2 to the body and 1 to the head solves all problems You’ll never see […]

Pool Noodle Plate Rack for Airsoft & Pellet Pistols

A couple years ago, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some of my favorite targets (I’ll tell you about them sometime soon) but they were out.

Clearing Cover Garments: Three Techniques to Get You Out of the Holster

One part of concealed carry that trips up a lot of people is clearing your cover garment from the gun. It can get caught up on the butt of your gun, you can grab a hand-full of cover garment as you’re drawing, or cover can block your draw all together. Today, I’ve got a video […]

Switching Sides: Speed Up Your Draw Stroke by 45%

I was talking with Mark Miller…editor over at the Loadout Room…a few weeks ago and he challenged me to get a left handed holster and learn to do everything left handed.

Train and Shoot With Both Eyes Open: Tactical Rifleman Video

Are you shooting faster than you can assess? See It, Shoot It and Stop It

I frequently get asked whether it’s appropriate to shoot more than 2 shots before assessing your threats and why I shoot such long strings in some of my videos.
