This video introduces the 'Casino Drill' from Tom Given, designed to improve speed, accuracy, and target transitions. Participants draw and fire a specific number of rounds on six numbered targets (1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.) using 21 rounds total, aiming for under 21 seconds. The drill emphasizes realistic shooting scenarios and provides a benchmark for skill assessment, encouraging shooters to set personal goals based on their current abilities.

The Indiana Slammer is a monthly training drill from TA Targets designed to test concealed carry proficiency at 40 yards. Participants draw from concealment and fire 10 rounds, with scoring based on a hit factor that balances speed and accuracy. The drill emphasizes the challenge of making accurate hits at extended distances with a handgun, simulating a real-world defensive scenario.

This guide, from Modern Protector, outlines four critical reasons most concealed carriers would lose a gunfight: inadequate draw practice from everyday clothing, lack of movement in training, insufficient force-on-force experience, and absence of stress inoculation. It emphasizes the need for realistic practice, including drawing from various concealed positions, shooting while moving, engaging in simulated combat scenarios, and using tools like shot timers and competitions to build confidence under pressure.

This video details the 'Core 4' concealed carry training drill developed by Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant. It's designed to improve essential skills for concealed carriers by focusing on draw to multiple shots, target transitions (body to head), rapid fire under time pressure (build drill), and reloads. The drill emphasizes control, speed, and accuracy, with the goal of self-improvement rather than competition.

This video introduces the 'Trifecta Drill' designed to improve a concealed carrier's draw to first shot time. The drill involves drawing from concealment and firing one shot at three different sized targets at three yards, simulating varying distances and target acquisition challenges. It emphasizes adapting shooting speed to target size and provides performance benchmarks for beginners.

This video details the Bill Drill, a firearms training exercise designed to test speed and accuracy from concealment. Instructor Will Workman explains the drill's objective: drawing and firing six rounds into the A-zone of a target at 7 yards in under three seconds. He emphasizes the importance of a strong grip, accurate draw to the first shot, and controlled follow-up shots, while also highlighting the stress of time pressure. The drill is presented as a tool for self-assessment and improvement, encouraging consistent practice and analysis of results.

This guide, presented by Modern Protector, details how to fix firearm concealment issues using a holster wedge.

Standard belts are insufficient for this purpose.

This video from Modern Protector critically examines the effectiveness of a pocket knife as a self-defense tool. The host, an apparent subject matter expert, highlights significant drawbacks including slow deployment times and a lack of immediate stopping power, suggesting it's only viable in extremely close quarters and may lead to delayed incapacitation rather than immediate cessation of a threat.
