This video emphasizes the critical interplay between grip, sights, and trigger control for accurate shooting. It introduces a drill focused on placing 20 rounds within a 1-inch square at 3 yards, highlighting the importance of diagnosing shot errors by attributing them to specific fundamental mistakes. The instructor encourages shooters to analyze whether a miss was due to grip issues (e.g., thumb pressure, hand position), sight alignment/picture errors (e.g., not using the top of the sight), or trigger manipulation faults (e.g., slapping the trigger).

This video challenges the common firearms industry belief that speed and accuracy are mutually exclusive. It argues that efficiency, not just smoothness, should be the primary goal in shooting. The instructor emphasizes that a fast, accurate shot, even if not perfectly smooth, is superior to a slow, precise shot that takes too long.

This entry details upcoming training sessions hosted by Scott Jedlinski of the Modern Samurai Project in Texas and Florida during February. The training focuses on proficient AIWB draws and shooting with red dot equipped handguns, emphasizing proactive training over passive hope. Jedlinski's high-level professional expertise signals valuable insights for attendees.

This guide details an advanced AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique for pistols featuring a beavertail, such as 2011 or CZ models. Expert instructor Scott Jedlinski emphasizes an angled draw stroke ('2 to 7' analogy) to clear the beavertail, utilizing thumb flagging and holster clips for consistent indexing. While slightly slower than a straight draw, this method is optimized for pistols with superior triggers.

This video demonstrates the USPSA 18-08 classifier, showcasing expert-level execution by Scott Jedlinski of the Modern Samurai Project. It highlights high-speed draw techniques, efficient reloads, and precise target transitions with a Staccato XL pistol equipped with a Holosun 509T optic and Surefire X300 light. The content is geared towards intermediate to advanced competitive shooters seeking to improve their classifier times.

This video details the 'cheater grip' technique for an efficient AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw, focusing on garment manipulation when hands are below the waist. It emphasizes avoiding telegraphing the draw by subtly prepping the garment and then executing a rapid draw stroke. An alternative method for situations where garment prep is not allowed is also demonstrated.

This video details an efficient method for drawing a concealed firearm from an Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB) holster, focusing on clearing the cover garment from a high thoracic position. It introduces the 'claw grip' technique for firearms without beavertails and explains the physics behind a successful draw, emphasizing minimal effort and maximum efficiency. The instruction is provided by an experienced firearms instructor.

This video showcases Stage 4 of the GoShoot match, which took place on September 7, 2025. While no specific firearms, calibers, or manufacturers are mentioned in the provided title and description, the context strongly suggests a competitive shooting event. The video likely features participants navigating a stage designed to test shooting skills under pressure. Further analysis would require more detailed information from the video content itself.

This video demonstrates a revised AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique, shifting from a semicircular motion to a direct downward grab and upward press using the rear sight. The instructor highlights this change results in significantly faster draw times, as evidenced by shot timer results.

This guide, presented by a firearms instructor with years of AIWB experience, focuses on optimizing equipment for an efficient Appendix Inside-the-Waistband (AIWB) draw. It emphasizes finding the balance between concealment and performance by detailing critical holster adjustments like ride height, the use of claws and wedges for better concealment, and the importance of a stiff belt. The goal is to eliminate equipment as an impediment to a fast and smooth draw.

This YouTube video showcases a 3-day firearms training class held in Alaska, with footage provided by Phalanx Academy. While the specific firearms, calibers, or detailed curriculum are not mentioned, the title and description strongly imply a focus on practical shooting instruction and potentially tactical application in a remote environment. The content is likely geared towards individuals interested in advanced firearms training or experiencing a unique training location.

This video details progress made in a competitive shooting match, specifically focusing on achieving 3rd place in the Limited Optics division from concealment. The shooter highlights overcoming previous malfunctions and errors, emphasizing improved movement and a calculated risk taken during a live-fire exercise. While acknowledging the need for further refinement in speed and entry/exit techniques, the video showcases a positive trajectory in performance, aiming to close the gap with a Grand Master competitor. The description also includes shout-outs to fellow shooters and training organizations.
