This expert-level guide from Tactical Rifleman outlines a critical decision-making process for firearm transitions during engagements. It emphasizes that the choice between reloading a rifle or switching to a pistol is situation-dependent, factoring in distance, cover availability, and the potential for rifle malfunctions. The instruction highlights that at longer distances, rifle reloads are paramount, while at close range with cover, rifle reloads are still viable. However, in close-quarters without cover or within confined spaces, a pistol transition is recommended as the faster and more reliable option, especially when facing potential rifle malfunctions.

This guide, presented by an experienced instructor, emphasizes building a reliable firearm draw that functions under pressure. It details techniques for clearing various cover garments for both hip and AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) carry, stressing the importance of a consistent grip and smooth execution over pure speed. The instruction also covers dealing with potential snags and malfunctions during the draw.

This guide, from an experienced instructor, details essential techniques for shooting and reloading a firearm using only one hand. It emphasizes the critical need for a robust rear sight for racking the slide on a belt and a holster that allows for secure magazine management during reloads. The instructor strongly advises against revolvers for one-handed operation due to their complexity in reloading under such conditions, recommending magazine-fed firearms instead.

Instruction from expert John Lovell on the function and utility of the AR-15's forward assist. Lovell demonstrates how to use the forward assist to manually seat a bolt carrier group that is slightly out of battery due to fouling or lack of maintenance. While not always necessary with well-maintained rifles, he highlights its value as a redundancy for ensuring the firearm is ready to fire in critical situations.
