COLD WEATHER CONCEAL CARRY

Colion Noir, an expert in concealed carry with years of experience, addresses the debate around appendix carry (AIWB). He acknowledges its performance benefits like superior concealment and faster draws but emphasizes that choosing not to appendix carry is often a deliberate risk assessment, not a sign of being untrained. Noir highlights the inherent mechanical risks of AIWB, particularly concerning the femoral artery, and stresses the importance of a cautious reholstering process. Ultimately, he advocates for personal choice in carry methods based on confidence and risk management, cautioning against dogmatic shaming.

This video by former CIA officer Jason Hanson demonstrates four methods for surreptitiously drawing a concealed firearm. Techniques covered include using shoulder holsters, pocket carry (emphasizing proper holsters and pants), ankle carry (best suited for drivers), and off-body carry in bags or purses. The core principle across all methods is to maintain a discreet posture while preparing for a rapid and effective draw when a threat is perceived. Hanson stresses the importance of practice with a safe and empty firearm to ensure proficiency and proper equipment function.

This video discusses the critical issue of firearm theft from vehicles, highlighting a tragic incident in Louisiana where a stolen firearm was used in a mass shooting.

Practical advice is offered on making vehicles less appealing targets, securing firearms, and the importance of legal preparedness.

This video demonstrates a technique for drawing a concealed firearm from under a baggy t-shirt, specifically when carried at the 3:00 position. The method emphasizes pulling the shirt material away with the strong hand while exaggerating the thumb pull to create sufficient clearance for a smooth and efficient draw. The instruction covers the entire process from concealment to drawing, engaging, and reholstering.

This video demonstrates universal shooting standards, emphasizing under one-second engagement times from high and low ready positions. It showcases drills like the Bill Drill and a 3 Body, 2 Head sequence, highlighting efficient weapon manipulation and accuracy with a custom AR-15 build featuring an EOTech optic and GBRS Hydra Mount.

This guide, based on instruction from DJ Shipley of GBRS Group, details the critical importance of proper posture while wearing body armor. It emphasizes standing upright and squaring plates to the threat to maximize ballistic coverage, contrasting this with the dangerous practice of leaning forward, which can expose vital areas. The instruction highlights techniques for effective protection in tactical scenarios.

This GBRS Group video emphasizes mastering carbine reloads by prioritizing proper technique over raw speed. It highlights the critical importance of a firm, forward support grip (like a C-clamp) for weapon control during CQB and high-stress scenarios, warning against sacrificing fundamentals for fast 'par times'. The correct sequence involves sending the bolt, moving the support hand forward, establishing a solid grip, and then re-acquiring the target.

This video showcases an advanced tactical training session led by an expert with former Tier 1 Special Operations experience. The drill integrates live fire range exercises, high-intensity physical conditioning on an Echo Bike, and close-quarters battle scenarios, all while monitoring biometric data to simulate combat stress and optimize performance.
