The critique of the Primary Arms Vulcan reticle highlights a preference for intuitive aiming over reticle-assisted aiming for experienced shooters.

This video demonstrates a durability test for the Zulisy S6-GM red dot sight mounted on a Glock 21 Gen 5. The test involves confirming zero, then physically impacting the optic on a car hood before re-testing zero. The results show the optic maintained its zero throughout the abuse, highlighting its robust construction and value. The instructor emphasizes the direct-mount advantage for Glock MOS systems.

This guide details the installation of the new Vortex Venom enclosed red dot sight on a Glock MOS system. It covers the importance of the Delta Point Pro footprint, the use of adapter plates, and the necessity of suppressor height sights for co-witnessing. The guide also emphasizes proper screw torque and the use of Loctite for secure mounting.

This video reviews the Glock 19 Gen 5 A-Cut COA combo, featuring the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 red dot sight. The A-Cut system allows the optic to be mounted lower on the slide, enabling co-witnessing with iron sights without adapter plates.

He showcases draw times from the bag, aiming to debunk claims about his speed and highlight the practicality of this carry method for various situations, including church security and everyday activities.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
