Firearms Training By John G. Johnson

This video provides expert instruction on the most challenging aspect for many shooters: loading semi-automatic firearm magazines. Lead Firearms Instructor John G. Johnson breaks down the mechanics of magazine loading, emphasizing the importance of leverage over brute force. He teaches two primary methods, including the 'PEZ' method, and demonstrates how to load various popular magazines, offering practical advice for beginners and experienced shooters alike.

This video details the 'Grid Drill,' a handgun training exercise designed to improve accuracy, trigger control, sight alignment, and transitions. The drill involves shooting at numbered targets called out by an assistant, requiring shooters to quickly acquire and engage specific points on a small target. Instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the importance of a clean trigger press and proper body mechanics for transitions, offering this drill as a more engaging alternative to standard target practice.

This video by John G. Johnson of Firearms Training By John G. Johnson focuses on diagnosing and fixing common accuracy issues, specifically shooting low and left. The instructor emphasizes that proper grip and trigger press are responsible for approximately 90% of accuracy problems. He details a high, wrapped grip with locked thumbs and a 'press' rather than 'pull' trigger action as key to achieving consistent accuracy. The video also touches on sight picture and the 6 o'clock hold for precise aiming.

This video provides essential advice for new shooters, covering 10 key areas to improve accuracy. It emphasizes the importance of a proper grip, smooth trigger press, sight focus, and consistent practice. The instructor, John G. Johnson, highlights common mistakes and offers practical solutions to help shooters overcome challenges and build confidence.

This video from Firearms Training By John G. Johnson breaks down shooter accuracy into three levels: Level 1 (Survivor), Level 2 (Inconsistent), and Level 3 (Accurate). John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes that understanding your current level is crucial for improvement. He introduces the HTS (Handgun Training System) as a method to progress from Level 1 to Level 3, focusing on consistent grip, stance, sight picture, and trigger control.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, simplifies pistol accuracy into three core components: Hold, Control, and Press. He emphasizes that shooting is more mental than physical and that mastering these three elements will make accuracy achievable. The instruction covers proper grip techniques, including hand placement and thumb positioning, to ensure stability and control. It also details a smooth trigger press, contrasting it with a detrimental 'pull,' and introduces methods for engaging core muscles to further stabilize the firearm during the shot.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes the critical role of a proper shooting stance as the foundation for accuracy. He advises against common incorrect stances like leaning back on heels or the one-foot-forward, one-foot-back Weaver stance for defensive shooting. Instead, he advocates for an athletic stance with feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and a forward lean to place the nose over the toes, which aids in recoil absorption and faster target re-acquisition.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines a comprehensive approach to improving shooting accuracy by integrating mental and physical control. He emphasizes slowing down the mind, executing shots smoothly, focusing on one aspect of technique at a time, and trusting the process. Key physical techniques include achieving a consistent grip, proper support hand pressure, a straight rearward trigger press, locking the wrist, and maintaining follow-through. The instruction highlights that accuracy is a system of mind and body working together for repeatable results.

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical importance of 'front sight focus' for new shooters struggling with pistol accuracy. He explains that the human eye cannot simultaneously focus on the front sight, rear sight, and target, leading to inconsistent groups when attempting 'target focus'. By concentrating solely on a clear front sight and aligning it at the 6 o'clock position on the target, shooters can achieve tighter groups and greater consistency.

This video demonstrates a technique for improving trigger control to achieve tighter shot groups. The instructor emphasizes using the tip of the finger for a precise trigger press and maintaining focus on the sight system throughout the shot. Proper trigger manipulation is shown to enhance pistol control and lead to more accurate shooting.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, focuses on the critical role of trigger manipulation in achieving firearm accuracy. He differentiates between a 'trigger pull' (a known, intentional action) and a 'trigger press' (a smooth, surprising application of pressure). The instruction emphasizes a controlled, gradual press to avoid disturbing the sights, leading to tighter shot groups. The video includes demonstrations of both correct and incorrect trigger manipulation.

This video by John G. Johnson introduces an 'accuracy hack' focused on achieving a proper firearm grip. It details how to position both hands for optimal control, emphasizing a 40/60 pressure split between dominant and non-dominant hands. The instruction covers techniques for both male and female shooters to achieve a 360° grip, control muzzle flip, and improve overall accuracy by aligning the firearm with the dominant eye.
