- Good tactical training starts with the fundamentals. Few things are as fundamental as how to load and unload a pistol.

Remember that safety is critical. When loading or unloading a pistol, keep it pointed downrange at all times and keep your finger off the trigger, unless you're about to shoot.
There are two primary methods for loading a pistol.
First is to lock the slide to the rear using the slide stop lever. Insert the magazine until it clicks into place, and then hit the slide stop lever, loading the pistol.
The other method is to start with an empty pistol with the slide all the way forward. Be sure to check the gun to make sure it's clear before loading it.
Insert a loaded magazine into the gun, until the magazine clicks and locks into place. Keeping the pistol pointed downrange, grasp the slide and pull it all the way back until the recoil spring is fully compressed. Then release the slide, which pushes the bullet into the chamber. Alternatively, you can pull back the slide and lock it in place with the slide stop, and then release the slide.
At all times, keep the pistol pointed downrange or otherwise in a safe direction.
To unload a pistol, keep it safely pointed downrange or otherwise in a safe direction at all times. Push the magazine release, and let it drop free. Pull the slide to the rear, with the pistol pointed in a safe direction, which will eject a chambered cartridge if one is chambered.
Run the slide a few more times to check clear. If you want, you can dry fire the gun - pointed downrange or otherwise in a safe direction - to decock the pistol. Then you can put the gun away, such as in a holster or range bag, and safely leave the range.

@@Aliengearholsters great demonstration man, really. Easy to understand, hit many great points and major advice to handle a pistol such as yours
Lol I had to take a 4 hr practical lesson for my ltc. But when the instructor showed up he said "yall know these kill people right? Yall know these ain't toys? We can sit here in 100 degree weather and I can show you how to use it, yall can use your common sense and not play with them" we were out in like an 1 hr
I'm a beginner. This was one of the most informative. Loved it. I didn't realize you could also use the slide release to load. Glad that you showed different ways that are. Most seasoned gun users act like there is 1 way and 1 way only to do things. Great video
There are definitely different ways to do things and you should make sure to find a safe way that works for you. We're glad you found it helpful! We are doing our best to promote responsible and safe carry that is comfortable for everyone.

Some dont like the slide release because of SLAM FIRE ...
Could you say more about this? I googled but there is no short, easy description. Most are 24 minute videos.
Been shooting for awhile but I always like watching these type of videos as little reminders
It's easy to forget the basics, and we all need brushing up on those from time to time.

@@Aliengearholsters already subscribed a while back 👍 and ordered from your site before
For new shooters I recommend not pressing the slide lock release. Especially if you just purchased a new gun as the release button can be really tuff to press and hurt your fingers and even cause blisters. Slingshotting the slide when it’s open is the best and easiest to do. Just pull it back all the way and let it go. If you’re wondering how to eject a bullet already in the chamber just eject the magazine first and then pull back on the slide and the bullet should pop out safely. These are the issues I was concerned with when first learning myself. Also, on some handguns or pistols if you release the slide by pressing the lock release you may end up causing your gun to jam after firing a few rounds from the magazine.
Somehow I found it will act up for some reason so it’s still best to just slingshot back the slide which avoids most jamming and any injuries to your fingers.
Sometimes the slide will not stay locked if there is not a magazine inserted so you would have to hold it back and press the lock up which can be difficult so I recommend dummy rounds for practice if you don’t want to load live ammo at first. Doing it this way makes it less scary/stressful for new shooters.
Also if the slide is open and locked and you are unable to slingshot it back to release it then you probably don’t have any live ammo in the magazine. An easy way to release the slide would be to simply eject the magazine and then carefully pull back the slide and it should safely release it for you. 👍🏻
Great tips.
Those are great reminders, and we appreciate the input! Thank you for commenting.

AWESOME INFO. THANK YOU!🙏
If the slide is locked to the rear, you still being able to pull the slide back to release it with the slingshot method shows that the spring isn't in full tension. It's not by a huge amount of course but maybe if the spring is a bit soft, it may not fully go into battery. (Though I've never experienced this issue myself)
Thank you for the info. New owner, so watching, reading all I can. Safety test this week, so I'm getting ready.
I don't know why but I had a weird feeling I needed to know how to do this so I looked it up. Now I'm hooked on this channel. I love how he talks straight to the point and doesn't go into anecdotes or rants about right or wrong.
Thanks for the different techniques. loved it.
Exactly the video I was looking for. Very well explained. I now feel like I can comfortably clear my new pistol. I have fired with people in the past but when your all on your own and just getting into firearms this is a great video just for reassurance 🙏🔫🔫
Thank you for this. Most helpful.
Love the dry shot approach. Ensures nothings in the barrel that can slide back even after clear and potentially fire!
Thanks for the video, Jason. One scenario you did not cover was at a non-range location. Noted differences are to load- muzzle down, magazine in, slide rack, apply safety if applicable, holster pistol. For unloading- muzzle down, magazine remove, grip slide to front, pull magazine to rear, shell ejects into palm of hand, etc. Numerous variables, but that's the general drill. The main difference is to keep muzzle down and not to drop magazine or shells on the ground, and of course, no accidental discharges allowed!
We appreciate both the feedback and input! We have a lot of knowledgable subscribers like yourself which is nice. We appreciate your comment and want to thank you for being a subscriber.
1. No accidental discharges? You mean negligent discharges?
2. Saying no negligent discharges allowed is like saying no car collisions allowed. I guess they shouldn't be, but they happen anyways, don't they?
3. Lastly, the safest way to eject a CARTRIDGE (not shell as you state) is precisely to let it fall on the ground. Having someone try to catch a cartridge out of mid-air while still holding a firearm isn't as safe as just letting it fall and picking it up.
4. You talk as if you're very knowledgeable about firearms, but considering the mistakes you've made in your comment, I don't think that's true. Do yourself and everyone around you a favor: look up the Dunning-Kruger effect here on TH-cam.
This was a perfect tutorial for a beginner like myself. Thank you!
Nice tutorial was very helpful
Hell yeah. Thanks Jason
Thank you…..Answered so many questions I had !!

When I was field stripping my airsoft 1911 for cleaning I simply forgot the mag in while I trying to remove the slide and it accidentally discharged. I'm glad it was only airsoft and I got out with some bruises only.. This was a reminder for me for life when I handle firearms..
👏👏👏 learn alot
Excellent 👍👍👍👍
❤️
When you unload your pistol you might want to put your left hand over the top where the bullet pops out, hold the pistol sideways with the magazine-side against your hip, then pull back with your right hand so the bullet falls out into your left, lock the slide with your thumb by pushing upward on the slider release button, and you’re done. This way you don’t have to search your popped out bullet in the sand @3:52.
Excellent vid. Just like all your others.
Thank you for the kind words, we appreciate it. Thank you especially for being a subscriber to our TH-cam community.
@@Aliengearholsters Yeah, yeah, yeah, I still want a Shape Shifter holster for my G26 with a TLR-6 light on it. Lol.
Can you please explain how should you walk around with your pistol? I never really understood it. Should you have your Stack in?
Good teach love u
You touched on inspecting the bolt face, I assume it is to make sure firing pin is not protruding?
We don't have access to him still, but that seems reasonable. It was probably also to make sure the chamber is actually empty.

So at the end of the day at the phase of unloading the pistol, do we always lose one unused ammunition (the one in the chamber) ? Is it right ?
You are not losing it, just ejecting it from the chamber. You can still re-load it again.
What brand light was that on the end
Streamlight
You know it's going to be a good video when the guy looks like this, lol
When is the American Flag AR giveaway? That thing looks amazing
AR's are great. But so are Desert Eagles which is a part of the current giveaway contest that you can find here: aliengearholsters.com/contest

Please send the necessary information to make the purchase and send it to me by mail or DHL
You shouldn’t have any issues ordering a holster online. Some magazines however will want to ship to a local firearms dealer but holsters should be ok just go on eBay or Amazon and see if there are any restrictions to your country.

I need to buy an internal holter for glock 22 caliber 40 but I do not know what procedures I must do, I am from El Salvador
The best way to get it is probably through Amazon. You can find the page for the In-waistband holsters here: www.amazon.com/stores/page/C5C02323-E1ED-40AA-928F-6FB9A038452F?ingress=0&visitId=50305ab1-1562-43c4-956f-d55bd1fd5176

Some people teach to physically check for a round by sticking a digit inside the open slide. Great way to quite possibly lose a finger tip. SMH

What is the point of sending questions if you dont answer ???
With the ammo prices as they are right now, I would take a little more care catching those live rounds you're letting fly all over the place. 😉
Ahh 🤦🏽♂️ omg
I am sure he is picking them up after the video.
My neighbor racks the slide 3 times and points it at people?...what do you think?
Basic rules of gun safety are to treat every gun like it's loaded, don't put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot and never point at anything you're not willing to destroy. There are many negligent discharges that happen by accident and if everyone followed these rules they could be reduced to about 0
Instructions unclear. The mag went up my butt. Any tips?
Just press the release button on the side
Nope! You got the tip already!🤣😂🤣
We are humans and humans makes mistake thanks
😂 believe me all of what you say is going way above my head. Make it simpler man.
Anybody that owns a gun and don’t already know this needs to sell it
Everybody has to start somewhere, but it's definitely good to know the basics if you are going to keep a firearm.

Everyone has to start somewhere.
So, you were born with that knowledge? Not everyone is as highly educated as you. Lighten up, Francis. Everyone has to start somewhere. Be part if the solution, not the problem. Maybe put that higher education on firearms to good use and become an instructor and give back to your community. THAT is being part of the solution.
@@TheVABigDog just read him lol
So why did you not only watch, but also take time to comment?
he's trying so hard to look like an expert he's moving the pistol too fast during the most vital parts off the training video smh... chill cowboy
I didnt think so
All that could have been explained in probably half that time
Poor basic drills for a beginner who shouldn't pull the top slide back with an overhand grip to prevent the pistol from pointing everywhere, very poor and not needed to know unless you are in a situation where you need to shoot at someone and not on a range.
