This video from Line45 provides an expert-level analysis of current ammunition prices, identifying 10 calibers that have seen significant price drops. The instructor, Ted, details specific deals and market trends for 2025, advising viewers on when and how to stock up on affordable ammunition for various firearms. The content emphasizes practical advice for shooters looking to maximize their range time and preparedness.

This video explores the perceived decline of the 40 S&W cartridge, presenting arguments for why it may be fading and why it shouldn't. Key factors discussed include the lack of 40 S&W in modern micro-compact pistols, perceived recoil, and lower magazine capacity compared to 9mm. Conversely, arguments for its continued relevance highlight its superior ballistics over 9mm, its efficiency, its capability to achieve major power factor in competitive shooting like USPSA, and its versatility with conversion barrels for other calibers.

This discussion between Ben Stoeger and Andreas explores the significant differences between competing with red dot sights and iron sights in practical shooting disciplines like USPSA. Andreas, a long-time shooter who recently transitioned to red dots, highlights how the visual feedback from a red dot aids in fundamental shooting skills, particularly trigger control and gun stability. He notes that iron sights require more deliberate effort to extract similar information, especially as target distances increase. The conversation also touches on how equipment advancements and the prevalence of high-capacity magazines in competition have shifted the dynamics of stage strategy and shooter development.

This video showcases a competition featuring the Glock 20 (10mm), Glock 21 (.45 ACP), and Glock 22 (.40 S&W). Participants discuss and demonstrate shooting these different calibers, focusing on recoil management, accuracy, and overall performance in a timed shooting scenario. The competition highlights the distinct characteristics of each caliber and its associated firearm.

This YouTube video features a USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) chat session where the host, Humble, aims to discuss and 'fix' the Production division. The video also promises to answer viewer questions after the host shares their experience of shooting a match. The content focuses on competitive shooting within USPSA, specifically targeting improvements for the Production division.

This video demonstrates a critical malfunction where the magazine drops during recoil, a common issue in competitive shooting. Ben Stoeger, a professional competitive shooter, highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing such failures. The guide provides steps to troubleshoot this specific problem, emphasizing safety and proper firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a critical safety incident: an uncommanded discharge of a Sig Sauer P320 during the re-holstering process. Expert analysis from Ben Stoeger highlights the visual evidence of the discharge originating from the holster, emphasizing the importance of constant vigilance and proper technique even when the firearm is supposedly "safe" in its holster. The incident underscores the need for thorough firearm inspection and immediate post-incident assessment.

Ben Stoeger, a professional shooting instructor, explains common misconceptions about red dot sights. He emphasizes that true proficiency comes from focusing on the target, not the dot itself. The guide details training methods, like occluding the optic, to develop this crucial skill, comparing it to the lifelong refinement needed for trigger control.

This comprehensive dry fire program, led by World Champion shooter Ben Stoeger, focuses on refining fundamental handgun skills. It includes a structured warm-up, detailed drills for draw stroke mechanics, efficient reloads (including strong and weak hand only), and positional shooting from kneeling. The program emphasizes precision and control, progressing to dynamic movements and transitions essential for competitive shooting.
