This video demonstrates the critical concept of the 'reactionary gap' and close-quarters defense. Lead Firearms Instructor Neil from Geauga Firearms Academy, with assistance from Daryl, illustrates why bringing a knife to a gunfight can be disadvantageous for the attacker in very close proximity. The demonstrations highlight the speed at which an attacker with a knife can close distance and inflict harm before a defender can effectively draw and deploy a firearm, emphasizing the importance of creating space and understanding reaction times in self-defense scenarios.

This video provides a first look at the Kimber R7 Mako TFS, a striker-fired subcompact pistol. The review highlights its polymer frame, stippling, and included features like a threaded barrel and Holosun HS407K optic. The presenters conduct concealed carry drills, discussing the pistol's handling, trigger feel, and magazine changes, ultimately finding it a solid debut for Kimber in the striker-fired market.

This video tests the effectiveness of the 21-foot rule, also known as the Tueller Drill, using an airsoft pistol and a simulated knife. The drill involves a defender drawing and firing before an attacker can cover the 21-foot distance. The analysis suggests that while the airsoft BB hit its mark, the attacker still reached the defender, prompting a discussion on the rule's applicability in real-world civilian defense scenarios. The content is presented in an informative and experimental tone by Civilian Tactical.

This video demonstrates a self-defense drill focusing on drawing from a holster and engaging multiple targets at varying distances. The drill emphasizes controlled movement, accurate shot placement on center mass, and improving draw times under simulated stress. The instructor highlights the importance of consistent practice with an EDC firearm to maintain proficiency in real-world scenarios.

This video demonstrates practical concealed carry drills focusing on drawing from compromised positions, including striking to create distance before drawing and drawing from a supine (on-your-back) position. The instructor emphasizes practicing for imperfect scenarios, not just ideal ones, and highlights the importance of garment clearance and muzzle awareness when drawing from the ground. The drills incorporate timed draws and shots on target, with a focus on efficiency and accuracy under stress.

This video details the 'Slap Shot' drill, a high-intensity self-defense training method developed by former CIA officer Jason Hansen. The drill aims to induce aggression and adrenaline through simulated combat scenarios, including physical altercations and a simulated gun fight using simunition. It emphasizes striking vulnerable points like the throat, eyes, and groin for effective self-defense.

This video demonstrates a home defense training drill using an inert Bluegun by Instructor Mike. It simulates an intruder scenario and shows a homeowner's response using a training firearm from a defensive position. The drill emphasizes realistic, home-based tactical training for self-defense readiness.

This video introduces the 'Date Night Drill' or 'Get Your Kid Out Of A Bad Situation Drill,' designed to practice essential firearm skills in a simulated scenario. The drill involves engaging an IPSC target near a vehicle and a steel target further away, incorporating techniques like slow draws, shooting from a vehicle, safe re-holstering under pressure, one-handed shooting while carrying weight, and safe movement with a pistol. The creator emphasizes the value of practicing these diverse skills and encourages viewers to try the drill and share their experiences. The video also details the specific gear used, including a T-shirt, pants, and targets.

This video compares five popular compact handguns (Glock 19 Gen 5, M&P 2.0 Compact, Walther PPQ, CZ P-07, Canik Elite) through a series of timed shooting drills, including a self-defense drill, plate rack, and accuracy tests at 25 and 50 yards. The instructor emphasizes that most quality modern handguns can perform the job effectively with practice, with personal preference and fit being key factors. The Canik Elite experienced significant malfunctions in cold weather, impacting its performance.

This training drill, demonstrated by USCCA and Chief Instructor Jason Speller of the Law Enforcement Ross School, focuses on drawing and shooting a firearm one-handed when the support hand is incapacitated. The core technique involves drawing the firearm and extending it while intentionally keeping the support hand down by the side, building new muscle memory for accurate and quick shooting under simulated adverse conditions. The use of a Barrel Block is emphasized for safe dry fire practice.

This video demonstrates a close-quarters training drill focusing on drawing a firearm, tactical movement backwards (egress), and maintaining situational awareness. The exercise emphasizes maintaining weapon control while creating distance from a threat, navigating obstacles, and scanning the environment. It highlights common human reactions under stress and the importance of conditioning to manage them.

This video details a close-quarters combat firing drill designed for self-defense scenarios, particularly those occurring in confined spaces like hotel rooms. The drill emphasizes drawing a concealed firearm while simultaneously dropping an object (simulated by a suitcase) and clearing clothing, then firing one-handed from a retention position. The instruction highlights the importance of firearm retention and adapting to an attacker who is physically close.
