This guide details the use and compatibility of the Grey Matter Concepts Rigby Holster, a universal design accommodating various pistol platforms, especially those equipped with weapon lights like the Surefire X300 or Streamlight TLR-1. It emphasizes practicing safe draws and understanding the holster's retention mechanism. The video features Shortshot Tony, a firearms influencer, demonstrating its application with firearms such as the Glock 17 Gen 5 and Springfield Echelon.

This video discusses a shift in concealed carry methods, moving away from fanny pack carry due to demonstrated draw time limitations. The speaker, influenced by Charlie Cox's analysis, now favors a four o'clock carry position with accessible holsters for firearms like the Glock 19, 17, and 19X. The content emphasizes the importance of practical draw speed and accessibility in self-defense scenarios.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of reliability and repeatability in duty handguns, featuring insights from firearm instructors Mike Jones (Grand Thumb) and Nate (Trench Grenade). They stress rigorous testing with thousands of rounds, proper ammunition selection, and the need for consistent training, particularly with 9mm handguns which are currently in a 'golden age' of development. The discussion also addresses common caliber debates and the practicalities of parts availability and maintenance.

Bill Quirk of Defensive Training Group and Big Daddy Unlimited shares his top firearm and holster picks from 2020. He details extensively modified pistols including a Glock 17 Gen 5, an STI 2011, a Langdon Tactical Beretta 92G, and a Smith & Wesson 686 Plus revolver, highlighting custom work from ATEI, Great Lakes Custom Works, and others. He also reviews his preferred holsters from JM Custom Kydex, T5 Custom Kydex, and Tier One Concealed, emphasizing their role in consistent firearm presentation and concealment.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between the Glock 17 Gen 5 and the Walther PDP OR 4.5", featuring insights from professional firearms instructor Kaya and martial arts expert Kenny Florian. The comparison focuses on practical performance, including timed drills and long-range accuracy, highlighting trigger quality, grip angle, and bore axis differences. The Walther PDP is ultimately favored for its superior out-of-the-box trigger and sights.

This video features retired Green Beret Jimmy Cannon and Austrian Special Forces veteran Benny discussing their preferred pistols and calibers from a special operations perspective. They unanimously favor the Glock 19 for its reliability and versatility, with 9mm being the top caliber choice due to global availability and effectiveness. The discussion also covers the transition from iron sights to red dot optics for duty use and provides advice for new shooters to prioritize training and ammunition over expensive firearms.

This video demonstrates a high-level Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project in an impressive 1.91 seconds. It highlights the importance of a clean draw stroke, effective recoil management, and precise trigger control when shooting a red-dot equipped handgun. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy at close range, showcasing advanced shooting techniques.

This guide, based on instruction from expert Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, debunks the myth that a high bore axis on pistols like the Sig Sauer P320 inherently leads to uncontrollable recoil. It emphasizes that proper recoil management is primarily achieved through effective support hand engagement and grip, rather than being dictated by the bore axis height or beavertail design. The video demonstrates that with correct technique, firearms often criticized for their bore axis can shoot remarkably flat.

Scott Jedlinski, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in recoil control. Through live-fire demonstrations, he illustrates how a proper support hand grip, positioned high and applying inward pressure, significantly reduces muzzle flip, even surpassing the firing hand's contribution. This technique is crucial for advanced shooters seeking to maintain a flat shooting platform.

This guide details a training drill focused on improving red dot acquisition during the firearm draw, as instructed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. It emphasizes correcting inefficient movements and building subconscious competence through high-speed practice and self-analysis. The drill is designed for intermediate shooters looking to enhance their speed and accuracy with red dot optics.
