5 Steps for New Gun Owners | Brief Overview

This video demonstrates a humorous reaction to a slide lock event during range practice, likely simulating an empty magazine. Instructor Mike, a professional firearms instructor, showcases proper shooting fundamentals like stance and recoil control. The drill highlights the importance of recognizing and reacting to common firearm events on the range.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill focused on mobility and rapid target re-engagement. The shooter performs a 360-degree spin while drawing and firing, showcasing advanced firearm handling skills. It highlights the importance of maintaining control and accuracy during complex movements.

This video demonstrates a practical, albeit informal, test of bullet penetration through common building bricks using various firearms and calibers. From .22 LR to .50 BMG, the experiment visually showcases the significant differences in ballistic energy and stopping power. The presenter, Parker, offers an enthusiastic and knowledgeable approach, highlighting the destructive potential of each round.

This guide, based on insights from John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society, focuses on optimizing pistol grip by addressing the use of interchangeable backstraps. Lovell, who trains approximately 2,000 students annually, recommends that most shooters remove backstraps from their Glock 19 (or similar pistols) to achieve a more secure grip. A smaller grip profile allows for better hand enclosure, closing the 'back door' gap and preventing the firearm from shifting during recoil, which is crucial for accurate follow-up shots.

This video demonstrates basic handgun firing for a first-time shooter, highlighting the importance of proper grip, sight alignment, and trigger control. It also shows the significant recoil of a Glock 19 in 9mm and the need for the shooter to maintain control. The instruction is informal, suitable for beginners learning fundamental shooting techniques.

This video showcases behind-the-scenes training for actress Lina Esco, featuring expert instruction from Taran Butler. The drills focus on essential tactical handgun skills including dry fire, emergency reloads, target acquisition, recoil management, malfunction clearing, and high-speed target transitions. The training emphasizes speed, smooth movements, and maintaining focus under pressure, utilizing a custom TTI Glock equipped with a Trijicon SRO optic.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
