This video details the Civilian Marksmanship Program's (CMP) Distinguished Service Revolver (DSR) Program, a competition focused on revolver marksmanship without specialized gear. It outlines the match structure, including slow, timed, and rapid fire stages at specific distances with defined time limits and targets. The program emphasizes skill-based shooting and offers a path to earning a Distinguished Revolver badge through consistent high performance. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, shares practical advice and demonstrates the course of fire.

This video details the Blank Paper Drill, a technique championed by competitive shooter John Shue, to drastically improve pistol shooting accuracy by focusing solely on sight alignment and trigger control. The drill involves shooting at a blank target at 25 yards, forcing the shooter to concentrate on the front sight and its relationship with the rear sight, rather than the aiming point. This method is credited with significantly improving the shooter's scores in bullseye competitions, moving them from the mid-850s to the high 880s out of 900 points.

This video explores whether a budget 1911, specifically a Tisas, can be used to achieve a President's Hundred tab in bullseye shooting. The instructor demonstrates the course of fire, highlighting the challenges posed by the stock sights and trigger of the Tisas 1911 compared to a Glock 17. While the Tisas 1911 proved capable of scoring, its limitations in sights and trigger consistency were noted as significant drawbacks for competitive accuracy. The video also touches on essential bullseye shooting techniques like sight picture enhancement and trigger control.

This review of the Colt All-American 2000, designed by Reed Knight and Eugene Stoner, challenges historical claims of extreme inaccuracy. While the pistol exhibited reliability issues and a heavy, unusual trigger pull, the reviewer's tests showed significantly better accuracy than reported in early 1990s firearms publications. The reviewer suggests that the pistol's ergonomics, trigger, and potentially manufacturing tolerances contributed to its poor reception, rather than outright fabrication by journalists.

This video provides a beginner-friendly banjo lesson on how to play Marty Robbins' "Big Iron." The instructor breaks down the song into manageable phrases, demonstrating specific finger placements and techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs.

This video details the process and techniques for competing in the President's Hundred match, a prestigious bullseye pistol competition. The instructor demonstrates how to shoot a stock Glock 17 Gen 2 at 50 and 25 yards, emphasizing proper sight alignment, trigger control, and the challenges of one-handed shooting at extended distances. The content highlights that achieving competitive scores does not require highly modified firearms, but rather consistent practice and understanding of marksmanship fundamentals.

This guide details the cause of bluing discoloration on a custom Clark Long Slide 1911. The process, invented by Jim Clark Sr., involves welding a section to a standard slide. This welding creates differences in steel properties at the joint, leading to visible discoloration in the bluing due to its chemical reaction with the metal. The video highlights this as a characteristic of the modification.

This video addresses viewer skepticism regarding the existence of a .38 Special chambered 1911. The instructor, JaredAF, demonstrates the functionality of such a pistol by manually cycling empty .38 Special casings through the firearm. This visual proof aims to clarify misconceptions and highlight the operational reality of this less common caliber in a 1911 platform.
