Another outstanding training vid that gives the details and especially the "why". As I've gotten older, the "why" matter so much more than it used to. Thanks Karl.
Superior training...superior instruction...superior situational awareness. Karl and his team are superior gunfighters. Just what one would expect from decades of practical experience.
Shit yeah brother. I’ve learned more from you and John Lovell and Mike Glover and others like y’all than any of these Call of Duty re-enactors that are all over TH-cam. Thank you!
Yeah these guys are great. But the call of duty guys at work are such experts in weapons n tactics. 🙄 i love when they want to talk guns...holy shit its all you can do not to laugh
Never really thought about (does he require deadly force) while practicing to clear my house. Always been of the mindset that if they are found here tonight they will be found here in the morning. Thanks Karl and team, you may have kept me out of jail.
Yeah they found police and military were shooting faster than they can ID and having tons of friendly fire. Had to have the guys slow down enough to get positive ID
GREAT video and content Brother!!! 3 years Army...30 years Law Enforcement and this is the first time I've seen that short look shoulder switch technique. Was always taught the long term switch. Old dogs like me just keep on learning. Thank you Sir, YOU ROCK!! Just keep speaking the truth!!
Day 1 of BJJ they said: "you'll never have a strong side, but if you're not careful you'll develop a weak one." Great video. Appreciate the perspective and situational awareness angle of your position.
Something people forget when talking about switching shoulders is the type of barrier. Theres no sense in worrying about minimizing your body if a bullet can come through the wall or door frame (your already fully vulnerable). But if your holding a corner while your team is crossing the street the switch shoulders so your exposure is minimum.
Love this type of training. I would also add that doing a quick look is a great way for me to determine where I set the length of pull on my stock So when you quick look my left hand doesn’t move and I can still operate my light. To long on the stock and my left hand can’t reach Hope this helps chem student
Swapping shoulders is why I run Ye Olde Neck Sling (just looped behind the neck, not behind the shoulder) at the length I do - just long enough I can get it to my weakside shoulder without having to adjust anything or choke myself is still short enough I can pull tension in a hasty sling from strong side by cranking my support arm elbow if I need to lock down. (Still better to loosen the sling - Thank God for quick adjusts like the Vickers Blue Force.) Of course, it works better if you can get the rear sling point as high and as far to the rear as practical. It's do-able, but just barely, on an AR with a "weak side" sling mount at the end plate. And on a stock AK with a Russian GI sling, the sling may or may not be long enough...
Well, as a Milsimmer I got a little bit offended but yeah. We don't know the stuff you talk about as much as the soldiers do. One of my friends that have done his military service as a commando said to me that line. "You are just facing bb's. Get hit with a 7.62 and then I will see you around. You can leave room for mistakes but I can't." At that time, I thought that all that stuff I have been learning was only "partially true". That is why I moved away from some of the people in the airsoft community that thinks "I play airsoft so I know everything about guns." I say, no you freakin don't. What I'm saying is, airsoft is a good training but cannot even match with the combat knowledge of an experienced soldier. Thanks for the information and efforts.
Karl, you are so great in explaining and teachin conzepts and movements. It is great to watch. I learn a lot. And I realize how good green berets are at teaching! Thank you!
If you want to get into serious transition work look to a SEAL or a Marine who work in maritime environments. Army units (Rangers/SOF) are very entrenched in their two point slings due to the types of engagements they commonly have. Travis Haley articulates the nuances of pros and cons of 2 point vs 2/1 point slings really well. Trying to shoot strong hand from the support shoulder might work a little, but its creating a contorted mess of tension and is clearly a bandaid to work around the sling across the neck. Worth mentioning that vehicle operations (in and around) is a major environment where being able to shoot fluidly from both shoulders is really important.
I only started practicing the "quick look" technique recently, and solely because of the speed advantage in flowing back and forth. Never even considered the combatives point - yeah, I don't think I've ever practiced "bayonet" type techniques left handed, and even open hand stuff has been probably 90% right hand dominant.
Clever stuff!!! This video drilled facts I never even learned in my 6 years of infantry! If theres one thing I learned in bjj is dont allow yourself to have a weak side. On a side note... when I switch to my non dominant side I keep both eyes open through the sights
Good info and perspective. Transitions are definitely over utilized on the flat range. Slightly different handwork for the transition than what I was taught but seems solid. I’ll try a few reps each way and see if there’s a distinct advantage to one over the other in terms of speed and retention strength.
To be fair, even though we have dominate sides in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, and wrestling, we still practice both sides. Personally I have some techniques which are more dominate on my "weak side" then my "strong side." This is because I also specifically train techniques to favor most people's weak (left) side. One good training philosophy that has worked well for me has been: learn the technique well on your strong side, then train it on your weak side later.
Sir, I'm so very happy that you share us this technique, I'm so exciting and it will be very useful for all of us, but it is not clear without footwork, many people had made a videos on shooting techniques, without footwork, some had done few steps but it not much very practical. Without footwork it's like trying to making furniture without any tools, please can you give us what everybody needs about some steps of footwork?
Get a 1.93 Scalarworks with an Aimpoint T2. you can use opposite eye then. Just make sure you don't rotate the weapon too much though because you will have hight over bore issues.
People pay for this kind of info but we get it for free here, I'm grateful and I know everyone else here on this channel is... that's why we watch and that's why the channel will continue to grow🎖 the future is very unpredictable and crime is on the rise, I'm pretty sure alot of men here, will want to do the good. 🤷🏼♂️
I was never able to be consistent switching hands so I always went to switching shoulders cause to me there’s a lot more benefits. You can keep your flow, makes it easier to engage multiple targets, more concealment, if I’m first in I can go in and easily and faster switch back to my dominate side. Being able to switch hands is important but for the most part I just switch shoulders. I’m cross eye dominant so switching shoulders isn’t an issue
i prefer to use hybrid method by directional shooting with laser i do not know why people does not use modern gear the laser even u got in your gun that is not your accesory for fancy looking also i can not entrust my life to my secondary hand that is why i love hybrid method
Karl. What optic is that? Thank you for the great video. I always wondered about the quick look technique, it felt a little awkward for me before I perfect practiced actual shoulder transition drills. Thanks again!
Just watch T-Rex Arms. He'll teach you everything you need to know. I've hear heard his now training Mil/LE. It just show how awesome he is. He's never been in the military or law enforcement but has the skills to train Mil/Le. In his drills everybody gets shot multiple times. He never needs to even take cover. He is sooo awesome. Guy just never needs to shoot from cover.
Yup. He knows his sh!t. I'm also a pro in cqc and currently deployed right now, in Afghanistan. The match starts in about 1 minute. Rounding corners while holding in the left trigger, the "aim down sights" button along with movement on the joystick (strafing) it's not easy to go left to right around corners. Clicking in the button to lean helps some but not enough. The Artificial intelligence of bots is becoming tuff. They fire RPG's at you, while standing 3 ft away, killing themselves in the process is BS. Respawn takes forever. So it's best to practice your shoulder bump or swap. If you want a good gamer score, take his advice... Sh!t, my character just got shot down...
Him having small breaks in between explaining finding the simplest ones... is just how I explain my mom how to use the computer... which she forgets the next day anyway.
No. Not to me. Rather, practice switching Eyes. You can bring it up under either eye. Example, guys that are cross-eye dominant can still shoot... they are just bringing the pistol up under their other eye. Same for switching eyes, easier with a red dot, but switching eyes with the gun pulled back closer to your face allowing you to pass through narrow doorways. Give it a try. Thanks for watching, TR
C grip can be used on ar platforms without fear of gas, heat or moving parts? I think specially on my scenario, cqb home defense it is cqb compatible, have any thoughts? P.s. thanks for content
I'm ambidextrous and practice everything symmetrically so the only reason this is helpful is to pie the corner ever so slightly faster. 🤷♂️ The leaning thing seems like common sense.
Another outstanding training vid that gives the details and especially the "why". As I've gotten older, the "why" matter so much more than it used to. Thanks Karl.
The “why” I absolutely agree with you 100%!
Superior training...superior instruction...superior situational awareness. Karl and his team are superior gunfighters. Just what one would expect from decades of practical experience.
Shit yeah brother. I’ve learned more from you and John Lovell and Mike Glover and others like y’all than any of these Call of Duty re-enactors that are all over TH-cam. Thank you!
Thousand ways to skin a cat. You've named a bunch of my favorites.
Yeah these guys are great. But the call of duty guys at work are such experts in weapons n tactics. 🙄 i love when they want to talk guns...holy shit its all you can do not to laugh
Give Nessie a pat on the head for me.
Tu Lam and Shawn Ryan are good too. Not surprisingly they have a ton of similar methods. UF Pro has great info on here too.
Never really thought about (does he require deadly force) while practicing to clear my house. Always been of the mindset that if they are found here tonight they will be found here in the morning. Thanks Karl and team, you may have kept me out of jail.
Besides target id is important, I'm sure there's at least one person in the world you wouldn't want to shoot.
Yeah they found police and military were shooting faster than they can ID and having tons of friendly fire. Had to have the guys slow down enough to get positive ID
Carl - you're the man. Old warbirds never get useless. Thanks brother.
Brother Karl, you have a gift for demonstrating and explaining things in a way that makes perfect sense.
A truly rare gift it is.
Thanks for the explanation of the HOW, WHY and WHEN and Demo Karl. TR
Anybody else get all hot and excited watching SGM run drills? Great stuff SGM

As always, just a slice of the absolute finest tactical skills training around from Karl and the gang. Thanks as always gents.
Excellent video Karl!
I am so glad that I did not learn how to shoot, move and communicate via the internet!!
0:11 Jeez that opening was MAGICAL!!!
I do my hand movements for the transitions differently, but I agree with 90% of how he teaches this. Awesome vid.
Excellent video! Good point about the fatigue of holding the rifle. Will be adding this to my training.
Krusty Karl ROCKS !
Also running the 8T. Good times !!

You should always keep both eyes open.
Great video not many gun or shooting channels are talking about switching shoulder.👍👍👍🇺🇲

I’ll try a few reps each way and see if there’s a distinct advantage to one over the other in terms of speed and retention strength.
This is probably the most helpful, realistic video I’ve seen in a while. Very well done.
Glad you think so!
Can you post an update to constructing shooting barricades? Excellent video!
We have one you can find in our video archive. Thanks for watching, TR
I use that c grip alot even when hunting squirrel with .22lr. Nice stabile deal
Good important stuff.
Another great video, thanks Karl for all you do!
Like the idea of switching shoulders but not the grip for the quick look
Good stuff
Thank you :D
Thanks again Karl!
Great info. Thanks Karl!
Thanks, Karl. Good stuff as always.
This man is my mentor now.
Best video of the why and when I've seen thank you.
Couldn't convince Chad to wear a motorcycle helmet to demonstrate the muzzle thump.lol nice blaster Btw 👍🇺🇸

Tu Lam covers some of this on his channel. UF Pro has good info too.
@@chloedemeter5473 yes but I need more
Very interesting info Karl. I've never seen/heard it explained that way. Makes sense though. Thanks!!!
Just my opinion
@@TacticalRifleman Your opinion carries a lot of weight! Semper Fi.
Thank you, Brother!
As a one eyed Willie I prefer to crouch or prone out for high threat corners since I can't PID with my weak side eye.
Get a 1.93 Scalarworks with an Aimpoint T2. you can use opposite eye then. Just make sure you don't rotate the weapon too much though because you will have hight over bore issues.
Great stuff as always
Many thanks O Gs get it done
So much better looking range than engineer tape.
Definitely better than drawing a 2D kill house in the hot sand. There are better ways to train movement than that.

@@TacticalRifleman Will do, makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
No, definitely not
I don't like the idea of having my arm that far out from behind cover. I feel like swapping hands completely would be my preference.
Good stuff!!!!
"i can mix metal and meat together" had to rewind to make sure I heard it.

Lets go!!!
That slowmo was sexy.
I will like to add if the wall structure have shadows use the shadow to guide you to your limit that’s more cqb class but yea great job👏
The shadow is independent of where the threat might be. I can see the shadow not being right. The shadow may not always know.
Awesome
