After 300,000+ Rounds, I’d Change This…

This video demonstrates the D.O.P.E. (Data, Observation, Planning, Execution) drill, focusing on a rapid rifle-to-pistol transition. Instructor Tanner Denton showcases the drill at distances from 5 to 25 yards, emphasizing objective measurement using a shot timer and hit factor calculation. The drill involves running a rifle dry and immediately drawing a pistol to complete a string of fire, highlighting advanced shooting proficiency and methodology.

This video demonstrates advanced USPSA practice focusing on Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB) carry and "gamer rig" setups. Reno May, an experienced shooter, showcases drills involving rapid draws, engaging steel targets, and efficient reloads using specialized gear like the Billy Barton Flash Mag. The session highlights the effectiveness of AIWB for competition and includes reviews of specific products like MBX magazines, Advent Innovative steel poppers, and Cloak & Dagger target pasters.

This guide details a technique for clearing a common firearm malfunction: a stuck slide on a round, as demonstrated by a Range Instructor from Gun For Hire. It emphasizes strict adherence to safety protocols before and during the clearing process, including proper muzzle discipline and post-clearing inspection. The method involves striking the grip to overcome the obstruction.

Fabio Spinella of My Own Defender breaks down pistol dominance using the GET acronym: Grip, Eyes, Trigger. He emphasizes a high backstrap grip for leverage, front-to-back pressure over 'monkey gripping,' and specific handshake-like pressure distribution between dominant and support hands. Proper trigger press focuses on minimizing travel to reduce muzzle movement, while recoil management relies on tracking sights, not just grip strength.

This guide, informed by USPSA Champion Ben Stoeger, details how to adjust grip pressure between polymer-framed Glocks and metal-framed 2011 pistols. Stoeger emphasizes that lighter guns like Glocks may require firmer pressure for a solid connection, while heavier 2011s benefit from a lighter touch to maximize trigger speed. The core principle is adapting your physical input to the firearm's characteristics, with grip tape being a useful aid for polymer frames.

This entry details a high-level trick shot attempt and rapid-fire performance demonstration by PewView, a professional firearms influencer. The guide focuses on gear selection and the execution of advanced shooting techniques, highlighting the capabilities of the Staccato 2011 platform with specific accessories like the Trijicon SRO and Streamlight TLR-1 HL. The content showcases expert-level recoil control and precision shooting in an outdoor range setting.

This guide details the automated progressive reloading process for 9mm Luger cartridges, as demonstrated on a Mark 7 Reloading Evolution Autodrive. It covers brass preparation, component loading (primers, powder, bullets), and the operation of a fully automated press that performs multiple steps simultaneously for high-volume production. The process emphasizes efficiency and speed, achieving a rate of 1,902 rounds per hour.

This video demonstrates a sniper stalk training exercise led by a former Navy SEAL sniper instructor. The drill focuses on stealth, camouflage using natural vegetation, and moving to a firing position undetected. The exercise highlights the importance of observation and the challenges of locating a well-camouflaged stalker.

This video humorously demonstrates a 'backup plan' for when a semi-automatic handgun runs dry. After depleting the magazine and the slide locking back, the shooter resorts to throwing a rock at the target. While presented satirically, it highlights the importance of situational awareness and creative problem-solving, albeit in a non-standard manner. The content creator, Tactical Hyve, is known for tactical training content.

This guide, presented by Myles from Tactical Hyve, details essential pistol aiming techniques for beginners. It covers the critical concepts of sight alignment ('equal height, equal light') and sight picture, explaining different aiming holds like Center Hold and Combat Hold, particularly relevant for Sig Sauer firearms. The guide also differentiates aiming with iron sights versus red dot optics, emphasizing the importance of proper firearm zeroing for accurate shooting.
