Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Tap Rock' drill for firearms?

The 'Tap Rock' drill is a critical immediate action technique for pistols. It involves firmly tapping the base of the magazine to ensure it's properly seated, followed by racking the slide to clear a malfunction and return the firearm to a ready state.

How do you perform an efficient pistol magazine change?

To perform an efficient pistol magazine change, step behind cover, hit the magazine release, place the pistol between your knees for stability, insert the fresh magazine, rock it forward to seat it, and then release the slide.

Why is full arm extension important after a magazine change?

Full arm extension after a magazine change is vital for establishing a solid shooting grip and achieving proper sight alignment. This allows for accurate target engagement and a quicker return to the fight.

What is a cross-handed draw and why practice it?

A cross-handed draw involves drawing your pistol with your non-dominant hand. Practicing this during dry fire can be beneficial for developing ambidextrous skills and preparing for situations where your primary hand may be injured or otherwise unavailable.
