This video provides a detailed breakdown of proper pistol grip technique, emphasizing a high grip behind the back strap for optimal control. It explains how to position both the firing and non-firing hands to maximize grip purchase and avoid potential injury from the slide's movement. The instruction is demonstrated on a Glock 19.

This video from Achilles Heel Tactical focuses on 'overdeveloping your index' through a precision shooting drill. The instructor emphasizes drawing the firearm and stopping it on a small, 1-inch black paster with a target reaction time of 0.8 seconds. The goal is to build extreme precision in the draw stroke and sight alignment, enabling faster and more accurate shots when a larger target like an A-zone is presented. The drill pushes shooters to their limits to enhance hand speed and efficiency, even if it means not achieving a perfect 'stop dot' at faster speeds.

This video demonstrates the impact of holster draw speed and technique under duress, simulating a close-quarters encounter. The speaker highlights how a new or unfamiliar holster can increase draw time, especially when transitioning from a defensive stance to an offensive one. The importance of consistent training to overcome these challenges is implied.

This guide details the operation of the M26 shotgun's reversible charging handle, folding bolt, and manual safety. It covers how to cycle the action, chamber rounds, and engage/disengage the safety. The video emphasizes the reversible nature of the charging handle for ambidextrous use and notes the folding bolt handle's convenience. Proper safety procedures are implicitly highlighted through the demonstration of manual controls.

This drill focuses on efficient transitions between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while emphasizing the proper use of magnification adjustment on a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO). The instructor highlights the importance of working the magnification control during the prone transition and engaging targets from various angles, including over-the-shoulder shots.

This video details the 'Rifle Pistol El Presidente' drill, an advanced tactical training exercise. It modifies the classic El Presidente pistol drill by adding a rifle component, requiring participants to rapidly engage multiple targets with a rifle before transitioning to a pistol for a second engagement. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and smooth transitions under a strict time limit, testing a shooter's ability to manage multiple firearms and engage targets effectively in a dynamic scenario.

This video details the 'Check Drill,' an advanced firearms training exercise designed to integrate pistol and rifle skills under pressure. It emphasizes the critical combat scenario where a rifle may become inoperable, requiring a swift transition to a pistol, followed by the ability to quickly re-establish the rifle as the primary weapon. The drill highlights the importance of safe pistol re-holstering and efficient rifle reloads, simulating real-world tactical engagements.

This drill focuses on the critical skill of transitioning from a rifle to a pistol under time pressure. The instruction emphasizes breaking hands apart, managing the rifle with the support hand while the firing hand moves to the pistol, and achieving smooth, controlled movements. The goal is to execute the transition efficiently, ensuring both shots are hits within a tight time limit, highlighting the importance of muscle memory and deliberate practice.

This video details a combat rifle reload drill designed to test a shooter's ability to quickly and efficiently replace an empty magazine under pressure. The drill emphasizes building muscle memory for gear placement and performing the reload from various ready positions, culminating in re-acquiring the target for a follow-up shot within a strict time limit.

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.

This video demonstrates a pistol presentation drill focused on drawing and firing a single accurate shot from the holster under time pressure. The instructor emphasizes the critical importance of establishing a master grip on the firearm immediately upon drawing, as the first shot is often the most difficult to make accurately due to haste. The drill is designed to test the shooter's ability to perform this fundamental skill under stress.

This video demonstrates the challenges of drawing a firearm from a holster during a close-quarters confrontation, highlighting how a new holster can increase draw time. The speaker emphasizes the importance of training to overcome these delays, even when facing an assailant who has already engaged.
