Speed in a Gunfight

This video provides a comparative analysis of concealed carry draw speeds from appendix, 3 o'clock, and 4 o'clock positions. Instructors Daniel Richardson, Jason, and Eliza conduct timed drills, highlighting the efficiency and potential speed advantages of appendix carry while acknowledging the practicalities and limitations of other methods. The content emphasizes understanding personal baseline draw times and training for real-world scenarios.

This technique focuses on efficiently drawing a concealed pistol from under a baggy T-shirt. It involves a coordinated action of pulling the shirt material away from the body while simultaneously using the thumb to rip the fabric upwards, creating sufficient space to acquire a proper grip and draw the firearm. The instructor emphasizes that there isn't one single 'right' way, but rather the 'right' way for the individual, encouraging safe practice on the range to find what works best.

This video provides a quick tip on improving appendix carry draws. The instructor emphasizes two primary methods for clearing the garment: hooking the bottom of the shirt and pulling it up, or grabbing and twisting the shirt. The preferred method involves grabbing and twisting for greater consistency across different clothing types. A key technique is to get three fingers into the grip area between the belt and the holster to establish a master grip before the firearm clears the holster.

This video demonstrates a pistol presentation drill focused on drawing and firing a single accurate shot from the holster under time pressure. The instructor emphasizes the critical importance of establishing a master grip on the firearm immediately upon drawing, as the first shot is often the most difficult to make accurately due to haste. The drill is designed to test the shooter's ability to perform this fundamental skill under stress.

This video demonstrates a revised AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique, shifting from a semicircular motion to a direct downward grab and upward press using the rear sight. The instructor highlights this change results in significantly faster draw times, as evidenced by shot timer results.

This video details a pistol training day focusing on practical drills with a Glock 17 Gen 5 equipped with an X300 weapon light and Trijicon night sights. The instructor emphasizes the importance of consistent training for personal and family safety, normalizing practice with carry or duty firearms. Drills include 'one reload twos' and simulated adverse conditions like sand ingress, highlighting the need for proficiency and gear reliability under stress. The session also touches on managing shooter fatigue and maintaining a good grip during dynamic shooting.

This guide, presented by Modern Protector, details how to fix firearm concealment issues using a holster wedge. The expert demonstrates attaching a foam wedge to an IWB holster to pivot the grip inward, significantly reducing printing and improving comfort for concealed carry. This technique is crucial for anyone looking to carry a firearm discreetly.

This guide provides a concise, safety-oriented walkthrough on cleaning a Glock pistol, specifically the Glock 19 Gen 4. It details the necessary tools and outlines the field stripping, cleaning, and reassembly process. The instruction emphasizes a thorough safety check before starting, crucial for responsible firearm maintenance.

This guide focuses on selecting and properly utilizing a specialized belt for concealed carry, a crucial step for beginners. The Modern Protector Host emphasizes that a rigid, reinforced belt like the Kore Essentials Ratchet Belt is essential for comfortably and effectively supporting the weight of a holstered firearm, preventing sagging and improving concealment. Standard belts are insufficient for this purpose.

This video from Modern Protector critically examines the effectiveness of a pocket knife as a self-defense tool. The host, an apparent subject matter expert, highlights significant drawbacks including slow deployment times and a lack of immediate stopping power, suggesting it's only viable in extremely close quarters and may lead to delayed incapacitation rather than immediate cessation of a threat.
