Every shot was a trigger. But she overcame it.

This video offers personal insights from Chris of Honest Outlaw on crucial aspects of firearms ownership and training that he wishes he had taken more seriously. Key takeaways include the vital importance of hearing protection, the selection of safe and effective holsters, the necessity of physical conditioning for shooters, strategic ammunition choices for practice, and the critical need to address bad habits early. The speaker emphasizes consistent, smart training, including dry fire and stress inoculation, and a perpetual commitment to safety, particularly in public shooting environments.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to low round count firearms training drills designed to improve fundamental shooting skills. Instructor Alyssa Seymour emphasizes that every trigger pull should have a purpose and advocates for data collection through mindful practice. Drills include a one-live-one-dry exercise, controlled double taps, progressive shot count drills, transition exercises, and moving drills, all aimed at building consistency and performance on demand with minimal ammunition expenditure.

This guide details the 'crush grip' technique, a method endorsed by legendary shooters like Bill Jordan and Rob Latham, to eliminate 'low left' shots caused by sympathetic movement. By applying maximum pressure with all non-trigger fingers, shooters can stabilize the firearm, allowing the trigger finger to operate independently. The guide includes specific dry fire, ball and dummy, and live fire drills to ingrain this technique for improved pistol accuracy across various firearms.

This guide details Ben Stoeger's approach to trigger press training, emphasizing aggressive, subconscious manipulation for speed and accuracy. It advises practicing rapid, straight trigger pulls during dry fire to minimize conscious thought during live shooting. For critical shots, a conscious, careful press is recommended, but the ultimate goal is to develop an aggressive, subconscious trigger control that can be applied to most shooting scenarios.

This training drill, demonstrated by Joel Park, focuses on the critical skill of managing distance changeups during live-fire practice. It emphasizes the importance of adjusting engagement speed and technique based on target distance and accountability, moving from aggressive rapid fire on close targets to more deliberate engagement on farther targets. The drill helps shooters develop the ability to transition smoothly between different sighting systems and aggression levels, a vital skill for real-world scenarios.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, addresses common reasons for poor shooting accuracy, emphasizing that the issue often lies in a lack of a consistent system rather than the shooter's ability. Key takeaways include proper grip pressure distribution (60/40 split), avoiding over-squeezing with either hand, and the importance of a smooth trigger press. The instructor advocates for deliberate practice, including dry-fire exercises, and slowing down the shooting process to improve accuracy.

This video provides expert guidance from Instructor Mike on how an Illinois concealed carrier should comply with police during a traffic stop. It details maintaining officer safety, proper disclosure of a concealed firearm, and presenting identification and permits from a lanyard to avoid sudden movements. The instructor emphasizes proactive communication and adherence to safety protocols taught in his courses.

Instructor Mike, identified as a Firearms Instructor, provides expert guidance on secure firearm storage within a vehicle. He strongly advocates for carrying the firearm on your person as the most secure method, with shoulder holsters presented as a viable alternative. The video explicitly discourages several common but unsafe storage locations, including between seats, sun visors, door pockets, near the steering column, center consoles, and glove boxes, highlighting the risks associated with each.

This video from Instructor Mike critiques an off-duty officer's poor tactical choices while working a side job. Key takeaways include the dangers of wearing a hoodie that obstructs peripheral vision and the risks associated with using earbuds that diminish auditory awareness. Instructor Mike emphasizes the importance of maintaining situational awareness even when off-duty or in a secondary role.

This video demonstrates a traffic stop scenario involving Instructor Mike and a Chicago police officer. It highlights the importance of maintaining visible hands during an interaction and provides a practical example of how to communicate effectively with law enforcement. The officer issues a warning for a missing license plate, emphasizing the need for proper vehicle documentation.
