This video discusses a situation where a shooter was asked to stop firing due to their shooting technique, specifically concerning the use of an FRT trigger and potential magazine drops. The shooter explains their rationale for turning the firearm sideways, which was to prevent the magazine from falling out during rapid fire. The owner of the range reportedly had no issues with the technique, highlighting a difference in perception regarding firearm handling and safety protocols.

This video from Achilles Heel Tactical focuses on 'overdeveloping your index' through a precision shooting drill. The instructor emphasizes drawing the firearm and stopping it on a small, 1-inch black paster with a target reaction time of 0.8 seconds. The goal is to build extreme precision in the draw stroke and sight alignment, enabling faster and more accurate shots when a larger target like an A-zone is presented. The drill pushes shooters to their limits to enhance hand speed and efficiency, even if it means not achieving a perfect 'stop dot' at faster speeds.

This video details a training drill focused on improving the time between shots, known as 'splits'. Pat Mac emphasizes objective self-critique, focusing on recoil management and muzzle whip to achieve consistent and faster follow-up shots. The drill involves series of shots from the holster, with feedback mechanisms to adjust pace based on performance.

Colion Noir, an experienced appendix carrier, discusses the valid safety concerns associated with this carry method, particularly the risk of pointing a firearm at oneself. He emphasizes that while appendix carry offers performance benefits like better concealment and faster draws, it requires a heightened awareness of safety protocols, especially during reholstering. The video highlights that choosing a different carry position due to these inherent risks is a legitimate risk management decision, not necessarily a sign of fear or lack of training.

This guide details practical and less conventional uses for red tracer ammunition, emphasizing its utility for target signaling and observing bullet paths during rapid fire. It also cautions against misusing tracers for fire-starting. The instruction comes from an experienced shooter demonstrating proficiency and safe handling.

This video explains and demonstrates predictive shooting, a technique focused on anticipating the firearm's behavior for rapid, accurate fire. The instructor, demonstrating expert-level proficiency, emphasizes consistent actions to predict outcomes, rather than confirming each shot. This method is crucial for achieving high-speed shooting paces, such as the 1.97 seconds shown for multiple shots, without hesitation.

This guide details optimal buttstock placement for rifle shooting, emphasizing driving the stock into the shoulder's hard pocket to create a recoil-absorbing 'wall'. Proper placement enhances control and aids in staying on target. The video also touches on less optimal placements, like the stock rising above the shoulder, which can hinder recoil control and target acquisition. Instruction is provided by Matt Kalisch of Tactical Hyve.

This video addresses common issues with target transitions during dry fire practice, identifying vision and tension as the primary culprits. Instructor Joel Park emphasizes looking at the target first and letting the sights follow, rather than physically pushing the gun. He advises against using excessive body tension and highlights the importance of visual focus on the target spot, not the sights, to improve accuracy and speed in transitions.

This video from Regular Guy Training LLC focuses on achieving a consistent shooting cadence at high speeds, specifically with the BRN-4. The instructor emphasizes the importance of a mind-muscle connection to feel the firearm's components and maintain control during rapid fire. The content is presented from an experienced instructor's perspective, offering actionable advice for shooters looking to improve their speed and accuracy.

This guide details a test comparing the controllability of a Glock pistol equipped with a full-auto switch, both as a standalone handgun and when integrated into a Meta Tactical Apex carbine chassis. The expert demonstrates significant muzzle climb with the handgun configuration, while the chassis greatly improves stability and accuracy. This comparison highlights the practical differences in managing full-auto fire with different setups.

This video from Achilles Heel Tactical introduces the concept of predictive shooting, a technique where the trigger press is initiated as the firearm rises, before reaching the point of aim. Instructor Rick emphasizes the importance of predicting the firearm's behavior to maintain control and accuracy during rapid fire. The goal is to achieve maximum speed while ensuring consistent weapon performance.

The teacup grip on a revolver is deemed acceptable by TheYankeeMarshal. While some argue it reduces control, the instructor suggests that for small revolvers, the level of control offered by this grip is sufficient. The primary valid argument against the teacup grip relates to potential malfunctions in semi-automatic firearms, where hand placement could interfere with escaping energy, but this concern is not applicable to revolvers.
