Where did Fred come from?

This video provides a detailed breakdown of proper pistol grip technique, emphasizing a high grip behind the back strap for optimal control. It explains how to position both the firing and non-firing hands to maximize grip purchase and avoid potential injury from the slide's movement. The instruction is demonstrated on a Glock 19.

This guide details a technique for improving grip on a customized Glock pistol, focusing on the benefits of an enhanced beaver tail, single undercut, and palm swell. By allowing a higher grip, these modifications help the shooter "choke up" on the firearm, utilizing natural bone structure for increased stability and control. The custom grip texture further enhances the secure fit. Instruction is provided by an experienced speaker associated with Classic Firearms.

Joel Park, a firearms instructor, discusses the challenges and realities of switching between different firearm platforms. He emphasizes that making all guns feel the same is often a flawed goal due to inherent differences in grip angle, controls, and ergonomics. While some fundamental shooting skills transfer, mastering a new platform requires dedicated practice to learn its specific nuances, such as disengaging safeties or managing unique features like magwells. Park advises focusing training on a primary competition or duty firearm to build proficiency, rather than dividing time across multiple platforms, especially when preparing for specific events.

This guide details the 'Smash' trigger technique taught by USPSA Grandmaster Mark Smith. It emphasizes prepping the trigger to the wall and applying continuous pressure to minimize the window for anticipation flinches, leading to faster and more accurate shots. The progression includes starting with the finger off the trigger and advancing to 'Wall Before Sights' for elite performance.

This guide, based on instruction from Rick Crawley of Achilles Heel Tactical, focuses on improving shooting speed and accuracy by emphasizing process over outcome. It details the concept of an 'acceptable' sight picture, visual indexing techniques, and the transition between predictive and reactive shooting based on distance. Crawley, a seasoned instructor with extensive military and law enforcement experience, highlights practical methods to increase rounds on target efficiently.

This video emphasizes that true shooting improvement comes from mastering fundamental skills like trigger control, grip, and breathing, not from accessories like lasers or red dot sights. The speaker advocates for consistent practice with a chosen firearm, ideally under the guidance of a qualified instructor, and suggests starting with reliable platforms like Glocks. Accessories do not replace the need for solid marksmanship.

This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of an excavator bucket against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG API. The test, conducted by an experienced individual, shows that while smaller calibers cause minimal damage, larger rounds like the .50 BMG API can penetrate the bucket. The footage provides visual evidence of impact effects and the destructive potential of different ammunition types.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a large pine tree, culminating with a .50 BMG API round. Surprisingly, even powerful rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as handgun rounds like 10mm and .44 Magnum, failed to fully penetrate the tree. The .50 BMG API round, while charring the entry point, also did not exit the back of the tree, demonstrating the significant stopping power of a substantial tree trunk.

This video from Yee Yee Life features an experienced host testing the ballistic penetration of various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG, in an Intex swimming pool. The host demonstrates proper firearm safety and provides detailed measurements of bullet penetration depths, offering unique insights into how different rounds interact with water as a medium. The results highlight significant variations in penetration based on caliber and velocity.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a Secret Service Suburban window against various calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers and even a 10mm and .44 Magnum were stopped with varying degrees of damage, the window was eventually penetrated by a .50 BMG sniper rifle round. The testing provides a clear demonstration of the limits of armored vehicle glass against high-powered rifle threats.
