This video demonstrates a rigorous testing protocol for an Aimpoint COA optic mounted on a Glock 45, focusing on water resistance and durability. The presenter simulates real-world scenarios, including full submersion and racking the slide off a holster, to assess the optic's performance under stress. The tests indicate the replacement Aimpoint COA holds up well against water ingress and maintains zero after simulated malfunctions.

This video demonstrates an advanced one-handed technique for clearing a Type 3 pistol malfunction, specifically a double feed. Developed by Geauga Firearms Academy, the method involves using the slide lock lever to hold the slide to the rear, relieving spring tension. The magazine is then partially released, allowing the jammed round to be ejected before reinserting the magazine and chambering a new round.

This guide details the Israeli approach to firearm carrying, contrasting Condition 3 (empty chamber) for safety with the need for Condition 1 (chambered round) in high-threat situations. It emphasizes practical one-handed racking drills taught for civilian counter-terror training, reflecting a unique cultural and tactical perspective on firearm readiness. Instruction is provided from an expert with deep knowledge of Israeli defense practices.

The reviewer expresses initial reservations about the Sig Sauer P365 SAS, primarily due to its unique "anti-snag" sight system integrated into the slide. While acknowledging the P365 platform's strengths in concealability and capacity, the SAS model's flush-mounted sights present a potential challenge for drawing and one-handed manipulation. The reviewer plans to test the SAS at the range to form a definitive opinion.

This guide details a one-handed slide racking technique for a Glock pistol, demonstrated by an advanced shooter. It covers safety checks, magazine insertion, and using an external object like a wooden post to cycle the slide. The demonstration emphasizes proficiency in weapon manipulation under potential adverse conditions.

This video from USCCA's Tactical Tuesday series demonstrates how to clear a Type 1 firearm malfunction using only one hand. Instructors Steve Fischer and Mike Brickner explain and demonstrate a technique involving slapping the magazine to ensure it's seated, then using the firearm's rear sights against a pocket or belt to rack the slide and clear the malfunction. The drill emphasizes the importance of being able to clear stoppages when a support hand is unavailable.
