This video details the rigorous bullet testing methodologies employed by Lehigh Defense, featuring insights from Bill Wilson and Mike Cyrus of Wilson Combat. They emphasize the consistency and reliability of testing across various mediums, including ballistic gel, hog cadavers, and water tanks, to validate predictive bullet performance. The process highlights how advanced testing ensures predictable results time after time.

This video details the F.A.S.T. (Firearm Acuity Skill Test) drill from Wilson Combat. It's a timed drill performed at 7 yards from the holster, requiring two shots to the head zone, a slide lock reload, and four shots to the chest zone, with a par time of approximately 7 seconds. The drill can be executed with either concealed or open carry, emphasizing proper draw, grip, sight acquisition, and efficient reloading techniques.

This guide details the Mozambique Drill, also known as the Failure Drill, as demonstrated by Aaron from Wilson Combat. It's a critical self-defense and tactical training exercise that emphasizes speed, accuracy, and recoil control. The drill involves drawing from a holster and delivering two shots to the chest followed by one precise shot to the head, all within a strict time limit of 3 seconds or less at 7 yards. The instruction highlights proper grip, sight acquisition, and a specific cadence for shot placement.

This expert guide details 'The Bill Drill', a fundamental pistol training exercise popularized by Wilson Combat. Developed by founder Bill Wilson, the drill focuses on drawing from a holster at 7 yards and accurately placing six shots into the A-zone of a target in under 3 seconds. The instruction emphasizes proper grip, recoil control, and prioritizing accuracy over speed, with demonstrations by an experienced shooter affiliated with Wilson Combat.

This guide details three critical handling practices for 2011-style pistols, specifically the Jacob Grey TWC9, as demonstrated by an instructor with high authority. Key takeaways include avoiding dropping the slide on an empty chamber, preventing over-insertion of magazines, and maintaining a grip that doesn't accidentally disengage the thumb safety. Adhering to these techniques is crucial for firearm longevity and safe operation.

This video analyzes the cost-effectiveness of reloading ammunition in 2026, focusing on common calibers like 9mm, .223/5.56, and larger calibers such as .300 Win Mag. It details the costs of components (primers, powder, brass, bullets) and compares them to factory ammunition prices. The analysis highlights that reloading is only cost-effective for those shooting a significant volume of rounds annually (at least 1,000 per year) and who can reuse brass multiple times, with a break-even point typically occurring after 3 years for common calibers and 2 years for larger calibers, assuming initial equipment costs are already covered.

This guide details the dangers of 'thumbing the hammer down' on a loaded firearm, a technique strongly advised against by experts. It emphasizes that this action, which involves pulling the trigger while manually lowering the hammer, carries a high risk of accidental discharge if the thumb slips. The expert instruction highlights safer alternatives like engaging the manual safety for 'cocked and locked' carry or clearing the chamber entirely.

This guide details the advanced technique of hand stippling a 1911 firearm frame for enhanced grip, as demonstrated by a master gunsmith. It covers the precise application of texture using a punch and hammer, followed by meticulous filing to refine the edges. This process requires significant skill and attention to detail for a professional finish.

This guide details the proper technique for cycling the slide on a semi-automatic pistol, specifically the 1911, as explained by Ken Hackathorn. It emphasizes avoiding "gun abuse" by not slamming the slide on an empty chamber, which can cause premature wear. The explanation includes the mechanical reasons behind this, focusing on how the cartridge rim stabilizes the extractor and cushions the slide's action.

Massad Ayoob, a renowned firearms instructor and legal expert, details the critical post-Defensive Gun Use (DGU) protocol. He emphasizes that the most common mistake is failing to immediately call 911 after a DGU, even if no shots were fired. This action is crucial for establishing oneself as the victim complainant in the ensuing legal aftermath.
