Videos tagged with Tap and Rack

This video demonstrates a safe simulation of Russian Roulette using dummy rounds mixed with live ammunition for malfunction drills. It highlights the 'tap and rack' procedure for clearing misfires on a Glock 19. The content emphasizes practical firearm handling and safety during simulated critical failures.

Mixing live and dummy rounds (like blue bullets) in a magazine is a valuable training technique. It forces shooters to identify and correct recoil anticipation and practice malfunction clearing drills, such as the 'tap and rack' method, under pressure. This method simulates real-world scenarios and enhances shooter proficiency.

This review of the Taurus G3C highlights its 'second strike' capability as a potentially problematic feature for defensive use, despite its utility in dry fire. The host demonstrates that the standard 'tap-rack' remedial action for a malfunction is significantly faster than relying on a second trigger pull. Empirical testing with a shot timer confirmed tap-rack is nearly a full second quicker, making it the preferred method for real-world self-defense scenarios.

This video details a Beretta 92FS Bi-Tone experiencing persistent extraction failures, even after upgrades like LOK Grips and a DPM recoil system. The host demonstrates advanced malfunction clearing techniques for double feeds and extraction failures, emphasizing manual clearing for severe jams. Despite aftermarket improvements, the pistol's reliability issues persist, leading to a decision to send it to Wilson Combat for professional work.
