I Invited Cops to Train on My New Range!!!

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 video features a former law enforcement officer discussing his extensive experience with firearms, particularly the Glock 17 and Glock 22. He emphasizes the critical importance of consistent, dedicated training beyond mandatory qualifications, including dry-fire practice and competitive shooting. The discussion highlights the need for situational awareness and avoiding complacency, drawing from real-world scenarios and offering advice for both law enforcement and civilian 'Minute Men'.

This video discusses the functional and comfort improvements of the Gen 6 Glock 17's trigger shoe. The hooked angle at the bottom of the shoe enhances dexterity during the trigger press, providing greater command and predictability, even with a standard Glock trigger weight. This design also mitigates finger discomfort during high-volume shooting, a common issue with previous generations like the Gen 4 and Gen 5.

Joel Park, a professional firearms instructor, emphasizes that discipline is the most crucial shooting skill, defined as the ability to wait for sights to settle before firing. He advises target focus over front sight focus for reactive shooting at close range and stresses the importance of 'throttle control'—balancing speed with accuracy. Park details mental programming techniques and recommends specific drills like the Accelerator and Bunny Stacks to develop this critical skill through consistent practice.

Instruction from professional firearms instructor Jeff Fails on achieving a stable shooting position. He explains why holding the firearm away from the body is a weak stance and demonstrates how to use your chest as a support hand. The guide emphasizes tactile cues for consistent grip and achieving proper forearm-to-muzzle alignment for enhanced accuracy and recoil management.

This video showcases behind-the-scenes training for actress Lina Esco, featuring expert instruction from Taran Butler. The drills focus on essential tactical handgun skills including dry fire, emergency reloads, target acquisition, recoil management, malfunction clearing, and high-speed target transitions. The training emphasizes speed, smooth movements, and maintaining focus under pressure, utilizing a custom TTI Glock equipped with a Trijicon SRO optic.

This video from DemolitionRanch, hosted by Matt Carriker, explores the capabilities of high-powered, regulated air rifles like the AirForce Texan SS and Sam Yang Dragon Claw. Carriker demonstrates their impressive power, accuracy, and surprisingly quiet operation due to integrated suppressors, highlighting a legal loophole where these airguns and their suppressors are not subject to NFA regulations. The content showcases ballistics testing and comparisons, emphasizing the expert knowledge of the host in firearms and related legalities.

This video features Nicholas Irving, a former Special Operations sniper, demonstrating and discussing various high-powered firearms. Irving, author of 'Way of the Reaper,' shares insights on sniper rifles like the Barrett M107A1 and SR-25, discusses the recoil of the S&W 500 Magnum, and tests the penetration capabilities of different calibers against an engine block. The content highlights practical applications and the effectiveness of these weapons in tactical scenarios.

This video demonstrates the dangerous consequences of firing incorrect ammunition calibers in firearms. Experienced instructor Matt Carriker shows how .380 ACP in a 9mm firearm and 9mm in a .40 S&W firearm can lead to cycling failures and severe brass deformation due to improper headspacing. The experiment highlights the critical importance of using the correct ammunition for each firearm to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

This video from DemolitionRanch, featuring firearms expert Matt Carriker, tests the ballistic resistance of Flex Tape when used as improvised body armor. The experiment involves layering Flex Tape onto cardboard and testing its effectiveness against .22 LR, 5.7x28mm (FN PS90), and 9mm (CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1) rounds. The results demonstrate that even extensive layering of Flex Tape is insufficient to stop common firearm calibers, highlighting the importance of proper ballistic materials.
