This video provides an expert-level demonstration of clearing a common pistol malfunction: the stovepipe. Instructor Johnny Q, who was taught this method in the academy, emphasizes the 'tap, rack, bang' technique as the quickest and most efficient way to get back in the fight. He highlights common mistakes, such as removing the magazine unnecessarily, which wastes critical time and can be unsafe.

This video demonstrates a common pistol malfunction, the 'stovepipe,' which occurs when a spent casing fails to extract or eject properly. The presenter, JaredAF, uses a Smith & Wesson Model 52 chambered in .38 Special wadcutters to repeatedly show this issue. This content is valuable for intermediate shooters looking to understand and identify specific firearm stoppages.

This guide, presented by an experienced firearms instructor, details how to clear a common 'stovepipe' malfunction on a Glock pistol. The presenter demonstrates how blocking the slide's rearward travel leads to a failure to extract and a dead trigger, requiring manual clearing of the spent casing to restore functionality. The instruction emphasizes safe handling throughout the process.

This video debunks the myth that a pistol slide will break your thumb. Through practical testing with a Glock 19, it's demonstrated that while uncomfortable, the slide does not cause a break. The primary consequence of improper thumb placement is the firearm failing to cycle correctly, leading to malfunctions.

This video focuses on a specific firearm malfunction, the Type 3, and emphasizes a crucial remedial action: "Just Pull the Mag Out - Don’t Lock the Slide!". It probes into the underlying considerations and potential overlooked aspects of addressing this type of stoppage, suggesting there's more to the procedure than meets the eye. The content aims to educate viewers on proper malfunction clearing techniques for firearms, particularly handguns, and encourages deeper thinking beyond the immediate fix.

This video from Geauga Firearms Academy demonstrates a new, one-handed technique for clearing a Type 3 firearm malfunction quickly. The instructor, Neil, breaks down the process, starting with an explanation of what a Type 3 malfunction is and showing the traditional two-handed clearing method before introducing the faster, one-handed approach. The description emphasizes that this video is for demonstration and does not replace hands-on training with a qualified instructor. It also promotes the academy's Patreon channel for exclusive content and provides links to their social media and website.

In close-quarters combat, drawing a pistol can be dangerous as an opponent can easily grab the firearm. A tactical knife offers a safer alternative, allowing the user to create space by targeting vital areas like the carotid artery or kidneys. This space allows for a safe transition back to a firearm. The video demonstrates this strategy using a Glock pistol and a fixed-blade knife.

This video details crucial footwork techniques for Navy SEALs during Close Quarters Combat (CQC). It emphasizes 'economy of motion' and the 'long step' technique for balanced entry into corner-fed rooms, ensuring immediate engagement capability. Proper footwork prevents exposing vulnerable side plates and maintains a stable shooting platform.

This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
