Mike Wallace, Chief Instructor at Bravo Tactical, details the 'Big Red' dynamic movement shooting course at Sierra One facility. This intermediate-level drill emphasizes engaging targets at varying distances (125-300 yards) over 330 yards of movement, with a 30-second penalty for missed shots. The course simulates real-world scenarios by incorporating physical exertion at over 6,000 ft elevation, requiring shooters to manage breathing and heart rate for accurate shots.

This video introduces the rare Glock 19P (Practice) and 19R (Reset) models, designed for safe, realistic training. The 19P is a non-firing replica for holster drills and close-quarters combat practice, emphasizing firearm safety by being incapable of chambering live rounds. The 19R is a serialized firearm with modified internals allowing for dry-fire practice, focusing on trigger control and sight alignment without the need to rack the slide between shots. Both are presented as valuable collector's items and training tools, not available in the general civilian market.

This video from Geauga Firearms Academy debunks the myth of shooting specific body parts like the hand or leg to stop a threat. Instructor Kim explains that the primary goal of using deadly force is to stop the threat, not to kill. He emphasizes that under extreme stress, aiming for small targets like hands or legs is ineffective due to reduced accuracy and the presence of vital arteries in those areas. The instruction highlights that center mass is the recommended target area because it's the largest and most accessible under duress, a principle used by law enforcement and military. The video also stresses the importance of de-escalation and using alternative, less-lethal methods if available before resorting to deadly force.

This video analyzes a critical incident where officers responded to a welfare check that escalated to a deadly force encounter.
