This video details two firearm training drills: a dynamic movement drill and a static drill called the 'All Hands Drill' developed by Ernest Langden. The dynamic drill emphasizes efficient movement, entering and exiting shooting positions, and speed. The 'All Hands Drill' focuses on developing proficiency in both strong and support hand shooting, as well as overall firearm manipulation and reloads. Key takeaways highlight the importance of grip, vision, and efficient movement for improving performance.

This video discusses the importance of training with both the strong and support hands. While strong-hand-only shooting is tactically necessary for scenarios like vehicle extractions or providing cover, the instructor emphasizes training the support side not for tactical necessity but for cognitive benefits. Working the non-dominant side stimulates the creative and analytical lobes of the brain, enhancing overall cognitive function.

This video provides insights into CQB rifle setups from instructors Dave Harris and Matthew Kish of Tactical Hyve. They discuss personal preferences for optic placement, accessory mounting (lights, IR illuminators), and the importance of ambidextrous operation. Key takeaways include understanding zero distances for short-range engagements, prioritizing user comfort and efficiency, and the critical role of consistent training, especially dry-fire practice, for developing proficiency in various shooting scenarios, including support-hand only techniques.

This guide details the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) certification course as demonstrated with the CZ P-10 F. The drill involves various distances and shooting scenarios, including failure drills and reloads, designed to test proficiency under time constraints. The instructor, demonstrating expert-level authority, achieves a perfect score on a smaller VTAC target, highlighting the pistol's performance and his own skill.

This comprehensive guide details three essential EDC drills taught by Kyle Lamb, a Tier 1 SME and founder of Viking Tactics. Lamb, a retired Special Forces veteran, emphasizes accuracy as the foundation for speed, covering strong-hand-only, support-hand-only, and movement-based shooting scenarios. The drills are designed to maintain proficiency with carry pistols under various conditions, incorporating practical techniques for recoil management and body positioning.

This video showcases a 'Run N Gun' style training day focusing on positional shooting and strong/support hand drills. Participants utilize 5.11 gear, including a sandbag, to enhance their shooting skills under physical duress. The session emphasizes the importance of both accuracy and physical conditioning in modern shooting competitions.

This video from Team Glock University demonstrates competition preparation training focused on building confidence. It features drills like the '20 Alpha' for accuracy at various distances, strong and support hand shooting to develop weaker-hand proficiency, and movement drills simulating stage transitions. The instructor emphasizes that pre-competition training should focus on reinforcing existing skills rather than learning new ones.

This guide from Geauga Firearms Academy details the practical application and technique for one-handed shooting, emphasizing its importance in self-defense scenarios where a second hand may be incapacitated or occupied. Key principles include maintaining spatial awareness of the non-shooting hand by keeping it in contact with the body, experimenting with grip cant and erectness for optimal alignment, and managing recoil without anticipating the shot. The instructors stress that proficiency with one-handed shooting is a crucial fundamental for any responsible firearm owner.

The Dot Torture drill is a valuable training exercise designed to push fundamental shooting skills under a time constraint. It effectively tests accuracy, holster draw, multiple target engagement, primary and support hand proficiency, and reloading techniques. The drill's name reflects its challenging nature, especially when a time limit is imposed.

This video details the '678 Drill,' designed to enhance proficiency in one-handed shooting (both support and strong hand) and one-handed reloads. The drill involves engaging six plates with six rounds from a support-hand-only draw, followed by a support-hand reload. Then, it transitions to engaging plates with the strong hand, including a strong-hand reload, and finally finishing with two-handed shooting. The drill emphasizes adapting to potential injuries or compromised shooting positions by forcing reloads with the hand currently holding the firearm.
