[Maintaining Grip]

I started using Ben Stoeger's book Skills and Drills and there are some drills that force you to shoot very difficult shots around barricades. In these drills you have to bend your wrists to hit the targets (at least tahrs the way I did it). I was surprised at how accurate I could be by shooting with the gun fairly close to my face and bent around a corner. You just have to give a little more time for the sights to return by themselves and use good trigger control.

He also recommends avoiding repositioning your body as your shooting multiple targets from a difficult barricade. You should extend your body out as far as needed for the most difficult shot and shoot them all in this position. This worked well for the hands on the Xs scenario. I was able to extend my body way out there and I'm sure it looks pretty weird, so I assume that as long as my hands are on the marks anything goes.

Following this book is forcing me to practice the hard stuff.

this

[Improving split times]

Practice a rhythm. one-y and a two-y and a three-y and a four-y. One and two and three and four. One two three four. Helps consistentcy

[Slide Lock Reload]

strong hand release

[The draw]

Always best to get the technique down slowly and then picking the pace up

[Is your carry platform same as competition platform?]

Now that I think about it, it's just about the same lol

[Bladetech holster too tight]

okay, simple project. I put it in the oven for 30 to 60 seconds at 320 degrees and a molded perfectly. I lost a little retention the first time around, so I took out the gun and pinched the trigger guard back to fix it. better than new!

Home remedies are always nice

[used belts]

Cant go wrong with a simple thick leather belt

[Gun belt]

Thick leather belt from walmart for me. Uncle mikes instructor belt is nice too

[mag pouchers]

Ben Stoeger is a huge advocate of these, and i've heard nothing but good of them elsewhere. They're right on the money price wise as well

[Educate me on holsters]

Ghost ultimate holster, I love it. If you don't want something so fancy and expensive; blade tech 100% of the way. Blade tech is pretty much the standard in the holster bizz

[Shooting Pants]

if i can find them cheap: 5.11. If not, propper makes identical pants.

[Ear/Hearing protection]

Peltors are solid or howard leight impact sport.

[Pistol sights]

Sounds like you just got the wrong size front sight. Just correct it with a proper size rear sight or replace front with proper size

["Tags" on a range bag]

I carry a "blow out kit" in my shooting bag. Molle med pouch with a tourniquet, quik clot, compression bandages, sterile gauze, shears, chest seal.

+1 to this. I carry the EXACT same stuff. Even if you're not familiar with all these items and how to use them, find a veteran, we're all qualified with this stuff and the training only takes a few hours. Can save a life.

Caveat for tourniquets though, doesn't matter how bad the guy is, if it's not your family or friend who is hit, get the guy or gals verbal consent to apply it. EMT's have gone to jail over that shit.

[Reflex style red dot...]

Sightmark makes quality stuff for good prices.

[Paper targets for practice]

I make my own targets out of 1x2's, peg board and poster board. Pay 10 bucks for several months of my own stands and paper

[Chronograph]

these guys are solid:

[My take on brass catchers]

Im a fan of just bending over

[ZEV Dragonfly slide]

Depends more on the load. Buy both, not too expensive and you can feel both yourself. Worse comes to worse you sell the extra to an enos member in need

[glock concealed carry accessories...]

5.11 taclite pants lol. I like carrying the mag in the pocket on the front left leg over throwing another mag pouch in, less shit stabbing you in the guts all day

[9mm vs .40 frame and slide differences]

SHOULD work

[any reason not to run a slide release?]

sure would be a weird adjustment

[Glock porn]

Sweet glock!

[Anyone up for training?]

Im also wondering if during the second of the three drills, the operator purposely fired his weapon into the ground as a method of scaring off somebody trying to put hands on him or if homeboy f*#ked up. Thoughts?

[Anyone up for training?]

This shit blew my mind. Lets do it!
