This video demonstrates the 'tactical reload' technique, a method for reloading a firearm during a lull in combat while retaining partially loaded magazines. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a grip on the firearm, creating a pocket to remove the old magazine, and storing it in a secondary location to avoid interference. The technique is presented as a way to maintain readiness without expending partially loaded magazines.

This expert-level guide from GBRS Group demonstrates how to integrate the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) into a tactical rifle reload. The instructor emphasizes performing the 'Observe' and 'Orient' phases while the magazine is being changed, allowing for immediate action upon completion. The video showcases a proficient live-fire reload drill on an AR-style rifle equipped with EOTech, SureFire, Magpul, and B5 Systems accessories.

This guide details how to test propellant temperature sensitivity, a crucial factor for consistent long-range accuracy. It emphasizes using a reliable chronograph and testing ammunition across a wide temperature range, from cold to hot conditions. The process involves calculating the muzzle velocity change per degree Fahrenheit to understand how temperature fluctuations affect performance, enabling shooters to account for these variations in their ballistic solutions.

This video from InRangeTV explains why the 44-40 cartridge is generally not recommended for modern firearms enthusiasts, despite its historical significance. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms, details the practical disadvantages of 44-40, including ammunition scarcity and reloading difficulties, compared to more accessible modern alternatives like 357 Magnum/38 Special or 45 Colt. The core argument centers on the 44-40's historical advantage in sealing black powder fouling due to its stepped case design, a benefit largely negated by modern ammunition and firearm designs.

This video showcases a tactical shotgun reload drill, emphasizing speed and efficiency. The participant, Jimmy, demonstrates a high level of proficiency in quickly inserting magazines into the shotgun under pressure. The instructor provides positive reinforcement for successful reloads.

This video demonstrates a critical firearm transition technique from rifle to pistol, emphasizing its application when time, distance, and cover are compromised within 25 meters. The instructor details a controlled method for rotating the primary weapon out of the workspace while drawing the secondary, followed by engaging the threat and then performing reloads on both weapons to maintain readiness. The drill highlights the importance of situational awareness and controlled weapon handling under pressure.

This video demonstrates a high-level Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project in an impressive 1.91 seconds. It highlights the importance of a clean draw stroke, effective recoil management, and precise trigger control when shooting a red-dot equipped handgun. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy at close range, showcasing advanced shooting techniques.

This guide, based on instruction from expert Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, debunks the myth that a high bore axis on pistols like the Sig Sauer P320 inherently leads to uncontrollable recoil. It emphasizes that proper recoil management is primarily achieved through effective support hand engagement and grip, rather than being dictated by the bore axis height or beavertail design. The video demonstrates that with correct technique, firearms often criticized for their bore axis can shoot remarkably flat.

Scott Jedlinski, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in recoil control. Through live-fire demonstrations, he illustrates how a proper support hand grip, positioned high and applying inward pressure, significantly reduces muzzle flip, even surpassing the firing hand's contribution. This technique is crucial for advanced shooters seeking to maintain a flat shooting platform.

This guide details a training drill focused on improving red dot acquisition during the firearm draw, as instructed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. It emphasizes correcting inefficient movements and building subconscious competence through high-speed practice and self-analysis. The drill is designed for intermediate shooters looking to enhance their speed and accuracy with red dot optics.
