Modern Samurai Project: Improve Your Concealed Draw

This video from Modern Samurai Project, presented by Scotch, details an efficient AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique. The method emphasizes a smooth, unified motion where both hands apply equal pressure during presentation, leading to a straight and level gun path. Key elements include drawing to the sternum for proprioceptive indexing, marrying hands firmly, and presenting to the eyeline while simultaneously prepping the trigger for a faster shot.

This video details the 'cheater grip' technique for an efficient AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw, focusing on garment manipulation when hands are below the waist. It emphasizes avoiding telegraphing the draw by subtly prepping the garment and then executing a rapid draw stroke. An alternative method for situations where garment prep is not allowed is also demonstrated.

This video critiques a Modern Samurai Project (MSP) class taught by Scott Jedlinsky, based on a student's review. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, highlights perceived issues such as excessive BJJ discussion, name-dropping, negative commentary on other instructors, and questionable tactical advice. Stoeger also notes Jedlinsky's strong negative reaction to being mentioned, interpreting it as a sign of personal animosity stemming from online interactions and perceived competition in the firearms training space.

This video by Scotty of Modern Samurai Project addresses the 'tactical hitch,' a common pause during the firearm draw that slows down shooters. The hitch often stems from a lack of grip confidence and inefficient grip confirmation. The instructor emphasizes integrating grip confirmation into the draw motion with a 'chop' and presentation, ensuring hands are high on the grip for better recoil control. The core principle is 'rounding out the edges' to create a fluid, continuous motion from draw to presentation, ultimately increasing speed and efficiency.

Scotch Kuklinski of Modern Samurai Project details the sternum as a key proprioceptive index for an efficient AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw. By bringing the drawing hand to the sternum while clearing the shirt, shooters can establish a consistent and fast firing grip, avoiding common hang-ups like the thumb getting caught or the rear sight snagging. This technique emphasizes efficiency over excessive motion, aiming for a smooth transition to the eyeline for presentation.

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.

This video details a practical plate carrier and belt setup for civilian self-defense and tactical use in 2022. Key recommendations include prioritizing gear tested for your specific needs over influencer trends, choosing a rigid belt like the Led Devil for magazine weight, and selecting modular plate carriers such as the Spiritus Systems LV119. The setup emphasizes independent civilian use, with considerations for comms, medical, and on-range repair tools.

This guide details the advanced setup of a Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) configuration, as presented by Alex Hartman of Ridgeline Defense. Key elements include selecting accurized barrels, free-floated rails, and appropriate optics (3-12x to 3-18x FFP recommended). Emphasis is placed on proper bipod and sling mounting for stability, advanced shooting techniques like the PPEW method, and the critical role of parallax adjustment and laser rangefinders for precision at distance. Instruction is provided by a Subject Matter Expert in precision rifle applications.

This guide details the installation of the Unity Tactical FAST Riser and FAST Micro Mount, emphasizing the benefits of a 2.26-inch height-over-bore for a heads-up shooting posture. It covers mounting procedures, compatibility with optics like EOTech and Aimpoint, and considerations for mechanical offset. The review highlights the durability of 7075-T6 aluminum construction and practical feedback from experienced users.

This video showcases the 'Death Box Drill,' a training exercise designed to test shooting accuracy while under cardiovascular stress. The drill involves moving through a 10x10 yard area and firing two rounds at each corner. Instruction emphasizes analytical shooting, where deliberate practice with feedback is more valuable than high round counts without purpose. The video highlights the importance of mastering fundamentals under stress, drawing on expertise from Milspec Mojo and Matt Tran, with support from sponsors like Big Tex Outdoors.
