This guide details essential garment clearing techniques for hip carry, emphasizing the importance of clearing from the bottom. It outlines the 'Support Hand Clear,' 'Primary Hand Clear,' and 'Two-Handed Clear' methods. The instructor stresses that mastering the 'Primary Hand Clear' is critical, especially in scenarios where the support hand is compromised, calling its absence 'catastrophic.'

This video emphasizes the psychological impact of self-talk on shooting performance. The instructor, demonstrating high authority, explains how focusing on minor errors ('Charlies') can hinder skill acquisition and retention. He advocates for positive reinforcement to ensure the brain properly stores learned techniques.

Instruction from Tenicor founder Jeff Fails emphasizes that 90% of firearm training should be conducted in isolation, focusing on personal performance against self-imposed goals. The remaining 10% is crucial for testing these skills in environments like classes or matches, providing data to refine isolated practice. This approach, akin to combat sports, builds true proficiency by pitting the shooter against themselves.

This video showcases advanced pistol training techniques for action and thriller scenarios, as demonstrated by Lina Esco under the expert instruction of Taran Butler. The training covers rapid fire on steel, emergency reloads, holster draws, malfunction clearances, one-handed manipulations, and a full tactical course. The instruction emphasizes speed, efficiency, and maintaining control under pressure, reflecting a high level of expertise from Taran Tactical Innovations.

This expert-level guide, drawing from a Tenicor video, details a critical grip mistake that hinders recoil control. It emphasizes applying the majority of pressure via the support hand into the buttstock, utilizing a 'grip and hang' technique. This method, popularized by Frank Proctor, involves gripping the rail, relaxing the elbow, and letting arm weight provide linear pressure for efficient recoil management and reduced fatigue.

This video showcases advanced firearms training from Regular Guy Training LLC, focusing on high-speed pistol and rifle techniques. It highlights rapid target engagement with red dot sights, low-light operations using weapon-mounted lights and night vision, and AR-15 proficiency with suppressed fire. The content demonstrates expert-level skills in fast draws, reloads, and transitions, emphasizing recoil management and precision shooting.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
