Train the Right Way

This video demonstrates a practice session of the Mozambique drill using a Smith & Wesson SD9VE at approximately 3-5 yards. The instructor highlights the importance of smooth transitions, accuracy under simulated stress, and the challenges of drawing from concealment with a snug cover garment. The drill involves engaging two targets followed by one target, emphasizing practice for improved performance.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of drawing a firearm while moving, rather than drawing first and then moving. Instructor Brandon from Tap Rack Bang, LLC, demonstrates drills to assess the impact of movement on draw times and accuracy. The core principle is to always draw while moving, never before, to effectively address dynamic threats like knife attacks.

This video provides expert instruction on mastering the critical skill of the holster draw and re-holstering. It emphasizes efficiency through torso stability and controlled arm movement, differentiating between 'index to fire' and 'prep to fire' techniques based on threat assessment. The instructor also details a safe and effective re-holstering process, highlighting the importance of maintaining a master grip and situational awareness.

Ben Stoeger advocates for a draw stroke where the pistol moves directly up to the eye line before extending to the target, contrasting it with a 'scooping' motion. He believes this direct upward path allows for earlier sight acquisition and is more efficient, especially with modern firearms equipped with red dot sights. The instructor emphasizes that this technique is about speed and accuracy in practical applications.

This video demonstrates a technique for drawing a firearm to a ready position, emphasizing a controlled motion that utilizes body contact points for consistency. The instructor details the steps from initial grip to re-holstering, focusing on maintaining a secure grip and using the body as a reference. This method is presented as applicable for both administrative tasks and drawing to shoot.

This video provides a detailed technique for drawing and re-holstering a firearm from appendix carry. Key points include maintaining muzzle discipline, proper hand placement during the draw, and a controlled re-holstering process that keeps the firearm pointed forward. The instruction emphasizes the importance of a properly designed holster for safe appendix carry.

This guide details the one-handed shooting technique for a .50 Cal Desert Eagle, as demonstrated by expert Anthony Colandro. It covers preparation, execution, and target analysis, emphasizing advanced recoil control for high-caliber handguns. Colandro, the owner of Gun For Hire, showcases proficient handling and accurate shooting with this powerful firearm.

This video demonstrates the experience of shooting a .50 BMG rifle at the Gun For Hire Range. An experienced instructor explains the firearm's recoil mitigation system, featuring an aggressive muzzle brake and barrel reciprocation with springs. The demonstration includes loading, aiming, firing, and post-shot analysis, highlighting that the felt recoil is manageable due to the rifle's design.

Professor Shane, a subject matter expert at Gun For Hire Range, discusses the U.S. military's transition from the M4 to the SIG XM7 (M7) rifle. He expresses skepticism regarding the platform change, highlighting concerns about increased recoil, reduced ammo capacity due to heavier 6.8x51mm rounds, and significantly decreased barrel longevity compared to 5.56x45mm NATO platforms. While acknowledging the 6.8mm cartridge's effectiveness in the M250 machine gun, he questions its suitability for the M7 rifle, suggesting that higher hit probability is achieved through greater ammunition availability rather than a higher-pressure round with a shorter barrel life.

This guide details a one-handed shooting technique for the powerful Smith & Wesson Model 500, as demonstrated by Anthony Colandro from Gun For Hire Range. It emphasizes advanced recoil management through stance, body lean, and controlled follow-through, crucial for handling the extreme forces generated by the .500 S&W Magnum cartridge. The instruction highlights the importance of mastering such techniques for large-caliber handguns.
