- If you want to practice at home check out our Rogers Range dry fire video. Throw it up on your flatscreen just make sure the gun isn’t loaded.
Rogers Range video: • Dry Fire Drill | Roger...
-Accuracy is Most Important
-Speed is important, but not at the expense of Accuracy
-Slow is smooth, and smooth is Fast
- Until you get good... then Slow is Slow, and Fast is Fast
-You can't Miss fast enough to Win
-Most important shot in a gun fight is often the FIRST shot
These are all pearls of wisdom that instructors throw out there to make you shoot better and/or faster. However, what really makes you faster is PROPER TECHNIQUE and lots and lots of practice. You are doing the practice, either dry firing or with live ammo; you just need to tune up your technique. Like a "Golf Pro" fixing your swing, I can't fix your draw without watching you draw. So, getting out there and having an instructor watch you will always be the best way to find improvement in your game. However, if you can't make it to one of our classes, I hope you can get a little bit of improvement out of this video.
Master your Draw. It must be fast, but more importantly it must be Accurate.
Strength & Honor, TR.

Your description of competition shooting is really strange. Considering USPSA is all moving and shooting from a million different positions with no shoots, limited exposure, hard angles etc etc etc it’s almost like you’re intentionally trying to be misleading.
Every single position you demonstrated is done in competitive shooting. Even more “dynamic” and weird positions. I like different opinions and would be glad to debate it but competition and combat *shooting* is the same thing.
I agree with you that a lot of the shooting techniques are the same, as the laws of physics are the same. However, this is a video strictly about the Draw. You know as well as I do that, in your USPSA competitions, you only draw from one of three places: Standing still (at buzzer) from the holster or off the table at the buzzer, or after you have just dumped your previous weapon in the barrel (again, static drawing). You NEVER transition to your pistol with a slung rifle without unloading the rifle first. Competition shooting, you can stand in front of twelve targets with your empty or jammed shotgun and just stand there reloading or clearing it while you have a perfectly functional and loaded pistol on your side. Real combat, you would and NEED to transition to that secondary weapon; that's why we are a back up.
Now, again, I am not putting down competition shooting at all, and I still to this day compete to 3-gun competitions when my class schedule allows. As a matter of fact, when I was SGM of a SF CIF company, I would spend your tax payers’ money to send my snipers and assaulters to many shooting competitions. Any time you are shooting under stress ( even the pro timer in competition) you are practicing for combat... so long as you do NOT develop wrong muscle memory. A great example is all the pro shooters throwing the shotgun up on their shoulder and loading shells with their strong hand. They know the paper is not going to shoot back. No new threat is going to come through the door way requiring them to shoot before they are done loading their 8 shells. Reality is that, in combat, a new threat can all present. You need to keep the muzzle pointed towards the direction where you think a new threat is most likely to appear from ( like an open door), and you need to keep your strong hand on fire-controls (pistol grip) of the weapon you are loading. Again, just an example... one of many. Again, I am definitely not bashing competition shooting, however those that claim that competition shooting is the same as combat shooting have never trained properly for combat. Thanks for watching, but don’t say my opinion is wrong because it is different from yours. I teach combat shooting. Strength and Honor, TR
Tactical Rifleman Roger that. I’m not a full competition shooter or teacher. I’m not saying competition is combat. I’m saying shooting is shooting. The draw positions vary more than those three examples as drawing and moving in every direction at the same time exists. The technique of drawing a pistol off transition, from USPSA or out of a level 3 holster does not need to be any different.
I was not comparing combat to competition. Simply the techniques drawing and shooting the gun. The only caveat is close retention which simply requires us to stop the draw early and shoot or pin and shoot.
I’m not saying your opinion is wrong at all. Just seemed to put down competition unnecessarily for the context of video.
Also there are some 2gun matches that allow transitions and much more “realistic” use of the equipment. Hopefully they gain popularity.
^Pay attention, folks. This is what good discourse looks like. Thanks for sharing, guys.
I have got to draw on the move multiple times in comps and I do IDPA and USPSA and in IDPA you have to use cover so it would be the closest to combat shooting and is the best practice most people have access to. Thanks for your service Karl you’re a real American and a true hero!
Exactly. In my opinion inly difference is that combat shooting has target changes. Competion shooting has set targets, 3 guns (or one, whatever) yet you get walk throughs or the time to sit back with buddys and look at the "objective". Combat shooting is training and impulse. Just found your channel, really enjoyed. Like and subscribing
Thank you on behalf of everyone who does not have access to professional trainers yet are very eager to learn.
There is competition draw and combat draw. I like that, this is what it’s all about. Thanks for the video brother.
I'm gonna be SO fast when this shelter-in-place is over!!!
Spring Bloom, I was shooting the corona out of the toe.
@Robert RMedina
Are you this dull, in real life?
No shit! Finally taking time to dry fire
Karl always bring the best of content, no bulls**** no fancy sport/gun industry talk to look cool like everyone, just pure combat real world application talk! Thank you TR team, maybe one day I'm going to the US just to take a course if possible!
@John Smith When my wife has 'fans' make comments like this in one of her 'channels', she asks me if it's any problem to slit their throat like a pig, and remove certain organs.... I always tell her it's a problem, and just 'block' them instead...
Excellent lesson. Non military people just don't know the difference between military shooting and competition shooting. Happened to me before when a friend of mine (he's a competition shooter and has never served) told me to change the way I am pulling out my gun - when in real life that's what I've been trained in the military and it worked for all of the last 10 years in service. I understood his desire to teach me but I first had to tell him the difference.
I like the fact that you showed that situation here so I will share your video to a few friends who are not in the military. Thank you for your time, effort and your service!
To be frank the military GI standard for marksmanship is barely proficient.
Love that Karl and everyone else behind the cameras still putting out content for us during this chaos.
Very good. One thing that is particular to myself (and maybe others?) is my natural tendency to tense up when trying to speed up. It’s slows you way down! Yes i practice slow to build muscle memory but remembering to stay relaxed when you speed up (dry firing) helps immensely with speed and time to acquire sight picture....for me anyway
2:59 *COBRA STRIKE* !! Yes sir.. Strike First, Strike Hard, _NO MERCY_

More importantly, shooting someone IS deadly force-no matter where you intend to hit them-so make every shot effective. If deadly force is justified, employ it effectively.
My first martial arts instructor was a police officer. He would say, *this* is a perfect technique. but *this* is what you can do on the street in an alley if you have to. Thanks Carl!
When TR uploads, you watch. No questions asked.
You are an excellent communicator. I learned a lot watching your video. As a retired martial artist who can no longer take on the physical punishment Brazilian Jiu Jitsue and competition fighting, I've decided to put all my same motivation to learning my pistol. What I learned over the years as a martial arts master is that 90% of the people don't train. It's a dog-fight between the top 10% who do. Thank you.
What I took from this video;
1. Cobra strike EVERYTHING it’s safe
2. Reverse Cobra strike just in case
3. Cobras don’t have legs, move and draw
4. Cobras can turn on lights, and fuck shit up
5. ???
6. Karl is a Cobra
Start calling him John Kreese
Human hands are faster than a cobra strike JS ... Been proven
Quarantine is better with TR vids. Thanks guys
Thanks for going into all that detail on the draw, I learned more in 15 minutes than I knew before.
Glad it was helpful!
Best vid on combat shooting on internet from the “real deal”! I am going to visualize your technique in my range shooting today. Thank you Karl.
For what is worth: when drilling this dry form concealed set the par time for 2 seconds. (I rarely beat the timer) The first time you do this set your par time at 5 seconds or you may end up with the timer on the ground throwing live rounds at it. One farmer's opinion. Thanks for another great video.
My mom said I have to sharpen and learn to draw with my Crayons before I can draw my pistol safely. So I went to my bedroom and practiced shooting my stuffed bear. She will be impressed when I show her my skills at the dinner table once the mac and cheese is done for lunch.
Awesome
The Crayola virus begins to spread.
@@ezcash99 one is just about as serious as the other.
So much to unpack here....
Karl your are the best. I wasn't going to watch this video because I know it all about the draw. Man was I ever wrong. Never even thought about the fact that you might need to draw from a different position. I always practice my draw from the same position. Again best gun channel.
That was pretty good. I will practice this after work. They don't like it when I do it at work.
Thx for the tips Karl, 18D taught me there same thing, good refresher. New takeaway - foot placement in combat shooting isn't always where you want it to be. Practice, practice, practice.
Karl's advice has made me a much better shooter. Thanks for these great videos
The 2nd base vs 1st base analogy really put it in perspective. Thanks Karl and TR team. Keep up the great vids.
Glad it helped
Awesome work. Very helpful. In physical combat sports, boxing, wrestling , jujitsu, etc., we say 10,000 repetitions to engrain to the neuromuscular reflex. Then practice daily.
Good stuff
Love the video and always pick up something new to work on. Appreciate all you do to help a work in progress shooter get better! Thank you!
Wow!! Certainly sounded like you were throwing me under the bus....felt like that damn bus fricken ran right over me!!!
Susan, is there something you would like to share with us? 🙂
Susan Britcher , yeah he most definitely gave you a push off the sidewalk!
But if everybody is ok, it was just a learning experience!
My holster susan is still waiting for an apology!
I thought whatever happens at TR training, stays at TR training.🥴
@@toddb930 Well im not American but ive seen TV, i think this is where I am supposed to take the 5th
Thanks for the information. I will definitely be working on that. I’m kinda new to proper pistol shooting so info like this really helps.
Thanks for the pro tip brotha! This was good info that i havnt seen others highlight and go over so i appreciate the knowledge!
Another great video! As always, I learned something! I was taught & have always trained, finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
But the 80% take up as you push out, makes sense. Thank you Karl!
The FBI knows you're watching this video so u might as well like it
Some of the best trainers in the biz! Looking forward to my next TR class
Thank you for taking the time to explain this stuff. You are indeed credit to society. Giving your years of knowledge and experience freely.
Thanks Karl, I always learn from your videos. Stay healthy brother 💪
Really helpful video. Thank you for putting it out there!!!
Really good analysis of the draw, best I've seen. Thank you
Hi Karl, love your video's keep em coming, and thanks for your service and keeping us safe !
Since I can't go to actual range now, doing daily dry fire practice. I have had MantisX couple years, but now also bought 9mm laserbullet for immediate feed back. That is also great for draw practice, when you can see where that imaginary bullet landed on my target.
This video was really helpful! I was “at a wall” in terms of increasing my draw speed without sacrificing accuracy, but you have given me new tools to achieve that goal. Thank you!
Awesome video as always. God bless. Keep up the good work
Great video!
Keep em coming!
Best vid on pistol draw. It verifies many of my own theories. Bravo!
Rumor has it Karl only runs across the battlefield with his left leg forward
Thanks for all your time and help.
My pleasure!
Thank you again for everything Karl! I learn something new every time I watch your videos!
Happy to hear that!
Tactical Rifleman less than 60 days and I’ll be back in the Bluegrass state! I will definitely pick up one of your classes when I get back home.
Awesome
Thank you for this excellent video. I must practice this way, it makes sense. Again, thanks!
Great advicing. appreciate your well focused and hole rounded explanation. Thanks.
Excellent video thanks very much. Yours is a somewhat different perspective and you speak and conduct yourself like I remember from my Army days and so I subscribed. See you down the road and Thanks for the good stuff
Brilliant. Thank you for the great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Nicely put. Thanks man. Stay safe
can always learn more...thanks Karl.
More to come!
Another fantastic video Karl. Best instruction I've heard on combat shooting in a long time. Thank you sir.
Excellent and direct! Thank you.
You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for the tips.
Ok. I like this guy. And he asks and answers questions I don’t know or would know to ask. This is good stuff
Great video! I always make sure to do dry fire all the time and I can tell a difference in my shooting after I do a lot of reps dry fire. I'm not the greatest by any means at all but I'm working on my speed and I do it without concealment and with concealment so I can be fast and accurate when I conceal carry.
Great tips. Thanks. One thing I do for dry fire practice is I remove the follower and spring from the magazine. That way, I only have to rack the slide to reset the trigger instead of also having to mess with the slide stop.
Excellent video. Thank you so much for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tips, I've actually really been focusing and working on my draw over the last month. Kinda stuck in that 1.58 zone. I think breaking the draw down and picking up speed where I can will help me get that sub 1.0 I really want. When I do I'll reward you and myself with a couple of your tee shirts.
Thanks
Your teaching is just like your draw: smooth as butter 🧈.
I appreciate you distinguishing there is a critical difference between combat and comp training. The rise in popularity of Comp shooting is an awesome thing, especially for the Community as a whole. But with it comes a lot of training scars and/or ignorance that pure comp shooters could never train the way a combat experienced shooter can. The Beauty is the development that can come when the two are combined, with the difference in context fully understood. Great Video Sir!
Thanks TR . 62 and I am still doing it and learning . I appreciate your videos. Never never stop growing and learning. No matter what your age or skill set. Thanks for another piece of knowledge.
I agree 100%. Thanks for watching, TR
Thank you for the video! I learned 1. Combat draw has to work in any miserable circumstance 100% reliable!
2. Sliding the hand towards Pistol tail gives tactile awareness where pistol is, to get the perfect grip - always.
3. Practice to pull the trigger 80%
4. Agressive Muscle tension makes you slow
5. First shot on target counts - Only shoot if you will hit
Thanks for a no BS video. This is combat shooting,
Thanks for the no bs truth, appreciate the useful training tips.
You bet
Very good stuff. Thank you for your service.
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching, TR
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Very smooth draw. Great pointers in another good video bringing t he knowledge.
This is one of that most logical training videos I've watched! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the tip I love the channel! I'm a Vet and I use alot of your videos in training my gun club
Wow! Very informative and easy to understand, thank you
Thank you so much. This makes the drawing and firing quickly so much clearer
The safariland thumb release makes us do a backwards sweep to hit the button instead of the straight down onto the gun method by driving the web of the hand into the beaver tail. Love the als. Good stuff karl
Jack Anthony
It’s great with a 1911 too. You come out of the holster with your thumb already crooked around the safety.
We use safariland as well. We do have a lot of guys taking the hood off though.
I meant without the hood. The thumb button goes rearward to release. Causes us to get into a reverse bowling type motion. Great holsters just require training.
Jack, open your hand. Now, close your hand while watching your thumb. You'll see that your thumb naturally pulls backwards towards the palm. Seriously, I not messing with you. The key to the ALS holster is NOT to think about releasing the button. Focus just on a deep solid grasp of the pistol. You'll find you release the retention device without even trying. Give it a try. Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman I totally agree. I dont even consider the button there. My thumb naturally just hits it. It's just weird when you switch back to a no retention rig. I was exaggerating the bowling motion but you understand. How could a fan go about getting you sign an ar mag for me for my wall?
Another great video! Thanks so much!
Thanks for your service and teaching. Sir. Your explanation solved my newbie question and my current issues.
Great video man! This is real teaching! Like the ending where we Actually get to see your speed and fire.
Great video, great concepts thanks
Thank you, renewing my mind and teaching new and better skills.
If you ever come to western Iowa...let me know
Thank you! Will do!
Hey mate, great video. I’m glad to hear that you’re not throwing Mama Bear under the bus.
She was a great example of what not to do.
I am consistently 1.15-1.25 a zone 7 yards from my duty rig with my safariland als after 3ish years of training. That being said this video is fantastic if you’re a beginner. I wish there was this stuff out there when I started. Thanks for putting this stuff out brother.
I always feel like I’m back in the army when Karl teaches a class. It’s like I see all of us standing there listening to instructions.
Thanks for the support
Tactical Rifleman always brotha
Good show! Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
First video of yours I have watched and that is all it took me to subscribe on the spot. I know a good teacher/shooter when I see one!
awesome advice, i still have somuch to learn but everything i do see in videos like this i practice and also do my best to train my wife and kids.👍👍👍
As usual awesome tips from a team of awesome guys stay safe and stay legends 👌🏻
Thanks for another great video very clear.
GREAT information...thanks!
Good job showing the same draw at the end for different threat angles. Thanks for what you've done and what you do!
Karl you’re hilarious 😂. You really know how to get the point across. Very good style of teaching
Good stuff! Thank you sir!
Good video Brotha!👍👍
You guys ROCK, thank you.
Good teaching Karl ! Learning alot ! I’ll take my brother to the range and replicate your advice. Many thanks, God Bless. South African Farmer
"Susan, I'm not throwing you under the bus" haha
I’ve developed much of what he’s teaching here on my own. It’s funny to see “My” ideas being taught by a pro.
The skills he’s teaching are more refined than my own but the basics are the same.
Very well presented and explained.
Stay safe brother. Thanks for the videos.
I have worked on this from both AIWB and at 4 O'clock. Not as easy as it would seem to draw fast and hit your target from concealment. Carl is certainly correct. There is a competition draw and a tactical, save your life draw. Great video.
Excellent piece. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, TR
Thank you very much for your tips.
Excellent! A real lecture!!
As always exceptional the best content and the best practice
Much appreciated!
