This dry fire drill WILL improve your draw

Instruction from John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society highlights three key advantages of appendix carry for concealed firearms. These include enhanced draw speed, superior accessibility in diverse situations like vehicle seating or prone positions, and its function as a fitness incentive. The expert assessment notes Lovell's authority as a founder and experienced instructor.

This guide, presented by Jarod from GUNBROS, details how to perform effective dry fire practice. It emphasizes replicating live-fire trigger control, feeling the trigger wall, and mastering the reset. Improper 'commando style' dry firing is discouraged as it builds bad habits and degrades shooting performance. The instruction highlights the importance of consistency and proper technique for improving accuracy.

This expert-level guide, presented by a professional firearms instructor from Tenicor, details a critical defensive shooting technique: aiming from a retention position. It debunks the myth that sights are misaligned in this stance and instead emphasizes the use of tactile indices like the thumb pectoral index, locked wrist, and high elbow to confirm aim without direct visual sight acquisition. A live-fire demonstration confirms the effectiveness of this method for accurate shooting under duress.

Joel Park, an expert competitive shooter, strongly advises against compensating for shooting errors by aiming away from the common miss. He emphasizes fixing the root cause of the error to avoid developing bad habits and ensure consistent performance. The video demonstrates how to refine technique, particularly during drills like the one-shot return, by minimizing unnecessary input and focusing on natural sight recovery, especially as distance magnifies minor mistakes.

This guide details the Delorian Drill, a highly efficient training exercise from Haley Strategic designed to significantly boost firearm draw speed and accuracy. Requiring approximately 120 rounds and an hour, it focuses on achieving sub-second draw-to-first-shot times and meeting specific par times for concealed draws. The drill emphasizes building a solid foundation through timed intervals and precise shot placement on TA Targets' C-zone cardboard targets.

This guide details the expert technique for drawing a pistol while wearing a jacket, as demonstrated by DJ Shipley from GBRS Group. Key points include simultaneously clearing the garment and acquiring a master grip, avoiding common errors like the 'partial flick' which compromises grip and presentation, and ensuring a safe reholster by visually guiding the firearm. Proper execution leads to a faster, more accurate draw and safer weapon handling.

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).
