This video details a pistol combat reload drill designed to test manipulation skills under pressure. The drill emphasizes the importance of proper grip and slide manipulation after a reload, as the first shot is often the most inaccurate. The instructor highlights that a combat reload involves a slide-locked-to-the-rear scenario, requiring specific actions to get the slide forward before re-engaging the target.

Ivan Loomis of Kit Badger emphasizes the importance of developing unconscious competence in fundamental firearms skills. This allows shooters to perform basic actions automatically, freeing up mental bandwidth for more complex tasks and decision-making under pressure. The video explores how mastering basics is crucial before attempting advanced techniques or engaging in high-stress scenarios.

This YouTube video follows up on a previous video about pistol reloads, showcasing the creator's rifle reload technique. The title implies a direct comparison or response to viewer feedback on their reloading skills, now demonstrating proficiency with a rifle. The content is likely focused on practical shooting skills and firearm manipulation.

This video introduces Accuracy Under Fire (AUFIRE), an innovative system using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to simulate the debilitating effects of gunshot wounds during firearms training. The AUFIRE system, consisting of conductive fabric sleeves and a remote control, allows instructors to induce muscle contractions, creating realistic distractions and pain stimuli. This training aims to teach individuals to overcome the physical and mental shock of injury, maintain weapon control, and execute critical tasks like drawing a firearm and applying self-aid under duress, thereby enhancing survivability in high-stress scenarios.

This video demonstrates a fundamental technique for loading and firing a pump-action shotgun, specifically the Hatsan Escort. It covers the manual insertion of a 12-gauge shell, racking the action to chamber the round, and executing a single shot at an outdoor range. The demonstration highlights fluid weapon manipulation and proper range safety posture, suitable for intermediate shooters looking to refine their shotgun handling skills.

This video discusses the Magpul BAD lever (Battery Assist Device) for AR-15 platforms, focusing on its utility for right-handed shooters, particularly with fixed magazine configurations and AR Maglocks. The primary benefit highlighted is the ability to lock the bolt to the rear and release it forward using the index finger, streamlining malfunction clearance and reloads. A left-handed perspective is also presented, suggesting the BAD lever may not offer the same advantages due to natural hand positioning.

This video provides essential dry-fire drills for maintaining firearms manipulation skills during lockdowns. Instructor Ernie Medina demonstrates the holster draw, tap rack bang, and speed reload drills, emphasizing proper technique and progression from slow to fast execution. He also highlights the utility of tools like the Mantis X10 trainer and Pink Rhino laser cartridges for effective home practice.
