Hardest part for us in LE these days is convincing the training staff to change their set ways. Too many old school guys working in training who are close minded to new techniques and tactics. Can’t tell you how many times the training staff comments “You looked down at your gun as you loaded.” Yeah, I looked at the mag well to make sure I seated the mag without an issue. Meanwhile, while you’re focused on my quick glance down, I’m the first one loaded and back up sending rounds on the line 🤣
Hardest part for us training staff is convincing the new guys that just because it is on TH-cam does not make it a good technique. I agree and actually try to teach everything that Mojo talked about in this video. However I struggle with people that watch other content and think that it is useable. Then when put to a slight test, on a flat range it breaks down. There is a balance that needs to be found between the new and the tried and true.
@@firefalcon07 I was going to be quick to dog you out but you are absolutely right sir. There needs to be a balance of techniques that actually work especially under duress
@Ass Clapper I would agree with content from reputable sources. However I know that not everyone, even some bigger name guys, on TH-cam aren't reputable. I have seen techniques and ideas that might work well on the flat range that do not translate over to an actual fight. To also compare videos of officers in shooting to people on the range is not a fair comparison. It is like comparing a a driving video of you on a Sunday cruise to a Formula one racer during a race. even our reputable content creators will tell you, the fight will not go as planned and shit will go wrong. I would also say that most officers out there do not put the time and effort in to their firearms training that they should.
Chris....On recommendation, I Googled "Beyond the Muzzle: The Firearms instructor & Shooter Development Guide" by Bettis. Found and bought it. Great help for me as an instructor. Really helpful for re-adjusting my instructor mindset. As you know, most academy level firearms training is about shooting not fighting. The academy trainers disagree of course but that's the truth. Gunfighting is not difficult, teaching it is. Most LE instructors look better than they teach and rarely allow students/officers to be problem solvers. No wonder we lose so many fights.
The amount of times I got yelled at in the academy or during department training for not doing all the dumb shit they tried to teach while also shooting better than anyone else makes me cry inside.
Its kinda funny how its come full circle to stuff that I was taught in basic for MOUT training nearly 20 years ago.... -Static targets die -Your Rifle is your life, so fix it -Don't do the enemy a favor by shooting yourself -Keep your head on a swivel -Pick up your feet while you walk
The biggest issue I see is the lack of context during range training. Trainers would advocate moving offline as a must and provide one or two justifying scenarios and move on. For every scenario to move offline, there are 10 for not moving. A lot of officers will blindly follow instructions without any further thoughts.
I appreciate you bringing Bryan on. It’s always great to hear someone else’s input. Would Bryan ever share his kit load out on this channel? I’m always looking for new ideas to change my kit at work and improve it. I see he has his kit set up different. Would like to hear more from him.
Great vid, one of the best drills we came up with is walking though a doorway about 4-5 steps engaging two targets starting from retention extending to full firing position while walking backwards through the door and reloading behind cover/ concealment then pieing the doorway back out. It makes you think about a lot while basically mag dumping into two targets. We did this with our carry pistols from concealment for context.
Awesome knowledge and training tips. I think that what most people will struggle with is finding a range/training facility that will allow "good" training. They seem to be over run with FUDDs.
I used to work at a range where we allowed holster draw, if you took a little safety course where we reviewed our specific rules for our specific store. One of the biggest rules was "always look at your holster when you reholster". I've seen dozens of cops miss their holsters on our range because they ignored this rule because "that's not what our department trains us to do". You're at a public range bro, I don't care what your department teaches. I've seen dudes sweep the gun backwards, flagging people behind him. Once I had a guy clear his gun, close the slide (no mag, no round in chamber) and go to reholster with his finger on the trigger. He obviously got it snagged on the holster and put a dry-fire rep into the holster. If it was loaded, probably would have been either a near-miss, or hit his leg/foot. I've seen a few people point the gun inwards, flagging their own guts while going to reholster. I've had people miss the holster entirely and let go of the firearm, just dropping it onto the floor. Of course, the most common is just fishing around with the gun, trying to get it in, then eventually just looking anyways but it's always just like "bro, I just went over the fucking rules with you and you just pointed a loaded firearm at everyone behind you". Most of the time, they're pretty chill about it, so unless they flagged another customer, I just give a warning, let them know what happened, let them continue, and keep my eye on them. If we're super busy, or they flagged someone, they're asked to leave. If they try to fight or argue, they're kicked off and denied coming back.
The thing that i got from this is, Risk avoidance - things like walking backwards like what Big Homie B was saying, he didn't want to give his back to the suspect so he walked backwards, or looking at the gun - you don't want to risk missing a malfunction or failing to reload/holster, etc. Awesome video as always.
MOJO, you nailed it. As a competition shooter from the 90's, it all comes down to training. I have worn my pistol on my waist at the 3:30 point for 36 years!! So yes I can reholster without looking. But for the newer or untrained shooters, LOOK WHEN YOU REHOLSTER, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR FINGER IN THE TRIGGER GAURD WHEN YOU DO IT. So take it slow and lots of dry fire practice will get you to where you need to be. Look up Travis Haley's "Venti 100" drill. Do it when you hit the range before your traing, and alot when you are at home for dry fire practice.
I'm also a LE firearms instructor, and I like the bit about moving 'off the X' with an actual purpose other than just a choreographed dance. I'll be using that. Our quals still have the step right/left stuff, but fortunately we have a lot of latitude when it comes to scenario-based training etc. and I don't have to include range theatrics that don't translate 'IRL.' Good stuff here. Sub'd.
When I was I police academy, I tried telling one of the instructors almost exactly what you were talking about being threat focused and a few other things. She was like, you were in the military weren’t you? I said yeah, and then she kind of laughed, she shook her head and said you have to get out of the military mindset. Blew my mind. I told her that training that we received was lessons learned in combat. It’s frustrating when you have eight years experience in the Marine Corps, been deployed, just to be told by somebody that’s a police officer that’s never been in a a firefight saying what I was doing was incorrect, so fucking frustrating. Well anyway I got the top shot award. The only one from my departments history to shoot a perfect score on every event. Tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about 😂
Really good insights and perspectives. Sometimes we hear what has become common advice so many times that we stop questioning what is really a "best practice" and whether what we have always done is really a best practice.

Just wanna start off by saying I only recently started following and watching the channel but it’s all been awesome. You’re very knowledgeable, a great shooter and give really good advice. I think you should do a short of you running a Mozambique drill. You’d get a ton of views and maybe some new subscribers with your speed and skills.

I honestly get weirded out. Especially being new to all this. "So much advice but, what is the right advice?" i would usually ask myself. So sometimes i just find whats easiest for me but, stay quiet when i see someone do some weird vodoo shit. Because what do i know lol
This is an excellent video! Thank you! Just something I want to add. In a law enforcement context, there is utility in holstering your gun quickly - sometimes. You have one at gun point and then find the need to transition to a less lethal option as this person closes the distance. If it’s not a lethal threat, you need to holster your gun quickly and transition. Also in a foot pursuit before you negotiate a fence - you’d likely holster quickly.
I think his argument is that you can holster much faster when you're looking. Holstering quickly before hopping a fence doesnt help you if you fumble and drop it, even more likely if you are moving towards the fence at the time also.
First off, GREAT VID AS ALWAYS! No excuses. "I have a 15 to 20 man line, I can't facilitate a safe range if I do any excessive movement (or any of the above examples)." is not reason enough.Marine Combat Instructors have 200+ students, sometimes double (during my time) and they do live fire iterations all day with maybe 20 instructors if that. They don't sacrifice the safety, instead they sacrifice time, the day has to necessarily be longer. Short and easy days is not a luxury you can afford in any job that involves run and gun or just any high stress job. make the training better even if it takes away from an "easy day".
I definitley get what you guys are saying..One thing I think that gets left out with the "get off the X" sidestep is what scenario are you thinking about in your head too? If you are just thinking " ok step left, now shoot this piece of paper" you ain't doing nothing for yourself. Now if you are imagining in your head quick reaction gunfight, "ok now my enemy has ducked behind cover of a car 10 feet away. Now it's time to supress and maneuver while I have his head down" It could be valuable. It might sound like fluff but it is a serious training advantage to take your experiences, most likely scenarios for your job, and really play that fleshed out image as you train is highly valuable...Just try it next range visit and see what you think.
Love this video. You guys are putting out great information with it. As I watched I found that I am teaching everything you talked about to our guys at my department. I would say the hardest thing to actually incorporate though is the movement part. Like you said, if I have 10 to 15 guys on a line, it is really hard to get they to be able to make purposeful movement without causing safety issues. I will have to try the barricade thing and see if that helps. As for holstering, I tell my guys that if I don't have a second to look at my holster I should not be putting my gun away.
The no look holstering and scan and assess stuff and also the "broken joystick" all crack me up. Two of the three are more theatrics than anything in the way they are done, and the no look holstering is really only applicable when transitioning to a rifle. Odds are, if you will be behind cover if you have to transition anyway.
Me for years " taking one step left or right is not going to reset an enemies OODA loop." The gun community -" you clearly don't train!" Mojo- " Taking one step to the left or right is range theatrics" The gun community " yassss queen!" 😂
The fact that Brian is left handed is a huge deal for me. So many guntubers are right handed and have the luxury of a right handed dominated system. Would really love to have a gear setup and brands he uses that are left handed friendly. Thank you both for your service.
Good stuff. Never been a believer on the offline especially when it comes to close quarter engagements inside of a home or other small space where the offline or getting off the X would make a huge difference. I have seen people firing from behind other officers. Hopefully they don’t catch one in the grape by just moving.
The step left and step right movement drill is absolutely worthless.. Y’all nailed it. It’s absolutely about range safety versus realistic or good movement during a real use of force event.
Checking holster is a good practice. I do it with AIWB too. Many times I had to move my shirt so it wont get tucked into holster by pistol. And for duty holster. If You are doing more MIL related stuff, You might want to check if You don't have some stuff in Your holster that doesn't belong in there. Because... outside of flat range stuff like that can happen.
Jordan Peterson is Internet Dad. Grand Thumb is cool internet uncle. Mojo is older internet brother. Thanks for the info bro. This is a fantastic video!
I think the best way to show edification the "offline" stuff works is both in a raw sims (meaning literally take samples of students in a Wild Wild West draw scenario) were one off-lines and the other is stationary and record who hits and who doesn't. Rinse repeat swapping the student who moves offline. There is some flies in the ointment on this because the individual students will determine somewhat of the outcome. Second you look at contextual scenarios like a traffic stops for example as you get out of your car on the freeway or two lane rd. I know I'm NOT of off lining into traffic period. I'm skinning gun leather and getting my work on then changing positions to the back of my car OR the suspects car depending on where I am. Change the scenario and you are walking towards violator vehicle and are in the no mans land between both and shots come from vehicle or suspect exits and starts shooting. I'm advancing towards suspect vehicle and working towards a position of cover using the suspect vehicle. Context matters but also raw data points shaded with the student body baseline matters. SHOWING the student body by putting them in the scenario and letting them FAIL and correct the behavior to develop better schema WORKS. I know based upon arbitrary examples that I'm still faster offline then my co workers. But I'm even faster getting rounds on target standing my ground and throwing rounds at the suspect THEN moving. Sometimes literally demonstrating and showing them the timer and then making them take the ouchie rounds in SIMs drives home this point.
I think this is a good thing to reevaluate because there are the fundamental movements that need to be practiced like move for cover, move to cover, advance and retreat. But then there are more dynamic movements that can really help a team and individuals. Iv only seen one person practiced this technique. It's required when you are being ambushed or ingaged. He quickly lowers his body parallel with the ground. From that position he ingages. Then quickly moves to better cover. I want to train like that.
I'm somewhat new to instruction. Oftentimes we are given training material and told to teach it. I've noticed oftentimes there is a big disconnect between the point of the training vs what it looks like in an open environment not on a range. It's important to give students that information and also make the training as close to the reap environment as possible, while maintaining safety of course.
The one that hit me the most was not looking while reholstering. It just makes sense to look while holstering hit that second to look holster and transition. Why fumble look and get good. Get good enough and apply tactics to give you the time or tools you need to win. Even if that means buying time to look while holstering to transition or find cover to reload.
Thankfully my police academy prefaced that us moving while drawing to “get off the X” is just getting us in the mindset of moving to cover. They said we will move to the next level of moving all the way to cover, rather than one step, once we hit our next firearms day. Thankfully they don’t teach taking one step after firing to “get off the X.” However, one instructor did say we should “eventually not have to look at our holster because we should be threat focused.” Dumb.
Absolutely, stepping off-line without actually moving to cover and without continuing to fire doesn't achieve much, scanning while reaching, looking while loading, positively reholstering the sidearm, deliberate, purposeful post-engagement sequence, firing on the move from a stable platform, all best practice combat shooting.
In MOUT they told us never walk backward and never cross your feet if you had to turn sharply so you don't trip yourself. Good idea to pay attention during reloading or clearing a malfunction. And do so from cover if available. Slow is smooth smoothe is fast.
Great content sir, thanks for your insights. In case you want to holster quickly because you want to go hands on for an arrest it is nice to Do that without looking...the situation might change quickly. But you clearly mentioned that there are no 100% rules. Could not agree more with the other points. Thanks again, your content is amazing and your skill level is from another Planet. Greetings from Germany, Michael (Active SEK officer / standing SWAT)
-- primary focus goes to the greatest threat if your weapon is down it is the biggest threat you need to deal with ... unseen threats ... -- walking backwards is just another defensive move thanks mojo and brian
While I understand and agree with most of this, it seemed centered on law enforcement. That’s not exactly a complaint, but the “train in kit” thing seems reasonable, if you spend your day in something approaching full kit. If you’re a civilian who walks around with a concealed, compact, sidearm and one tourniquet, that’s how you should train, most of the time. I know guys who show up to “CCW” training courses wearing body armor and drop-holsters, and I’m like, is that what you carry? And they’re like, Fuck no, but you gotta train HARD!
Yeah, it's funny because I'll show up to a course in jeans with 11 rounds in the gun and a 12 round mag in my front pocket, and the Grunt Style guys with six mags and a Glock 17 on their belt want to look down their nose. Like, I'm not training for the apocalypse, my most likely threat is some junkie with a screwdriver.
Whooa sonny becareful with that gear talk around theses parts. You don't want a bunch or LARP'ers breathing down your neck making counter accusations of being a "bRO vEt" or "gAtEkEePiNg".🤣🤣🤣
You raise an excellent point. "Train as you fight" is not often trained realisticly. When I train concealed, I wear normal clothes (and how i carry). And train in kit for work
I challenge literally anyone on this earth to reload their shotgun without looking at it. When Garand Dad was working at Magpul they made Art of the Dynamic Shotgun. They taught you to get the shotgun in front of your face to reload. Now they're doing violin style reloads and that's right in front of your face.
But because we work in the real world in people’s homes/apartments with all their crap all over the floor… which would be a situation walking backwards wouldn’t be advantageous! Glad you were able to keep your job at the dept.
I think the offline is misconstrued between people. I was taught to move with intent after an engagement to reload / get to cover. Moving left 2-3 steps just to shoot again is stupid. That's usually the biggest discrepancy I see between "offlining"
IMHO, moving offline is just an exercise to move and reacquire the target. Practicing acquiring the target after moving is purposeful and is not a waste of time. Moving to cover and different shooting positions would be more realistic but as discussed, a formal firing line has limitations.
If you don’t keep your eyes on the target when you reload it makes you vulnerable to bullets. Make sure to watch your target when you reload to ensure you can’t be shot as you reload

"I have a 15 to 20 man line, I can't facilitate a safe range if I do any excessive movement (or any of the above examples)." is not reason enough.Marine Combat Instructors have 200+ students, sometimes double (during my time) and they do live fire iterations all day with maybe 20 instructors if that. They don't sacrifice the safety, instead they sacrifice time, the day has to necessarily be longer. Short and easy days is not a luxury you can afford in any job that involves run and gun or just any high stress job. make the training better even if it takes away from an "easy day".
I definitley get what you guys are saying..One thing I think that gets left out with the "get off the X" sidestep is what scenario are you thinking about in your head too? If you are just thinking " ok step left, now shoot this piece of paper" you ain't doing nothing for yourself. Now if you are imagining in your head quick reaction gunfight, "ok now my enemy has ducked behind cover of a car 10 feet away. Now it's time to supress and maneuver while I have his head down" It could be valuable. It might sound like fluff but it is a serious training advantage to take your experiences, most likely scenarios for your job, and really play that fleshed out image as you train is highly valuable...Just try it next range visit and see what you think.
Love this video. You guys are putting out great information with it. As I watched I found that I am teaching everything you talked about to our guys at my department. I would say the hardest thing to actually incorporate though is the movement part. Like you said, if I have 10 to 15 guys on a line, it is really hard to get they to be able to make purposeful movement without causing safety issues. I will have to try the barricade thing and see if that helps. As for holstering, I tell my guys that if I don't have a second to look at my holster I should not be putting my gun away.
3 drills I’m definitely doing at the next range sesh cause Mojo told me to: Offline, Shooting moving backwards, and Sideways heel to toe.
Thanks Mojo!
We need a video of drills we could do from a standard shooting range. Maybe release or integrate targets to help
T Rex has one already.
@@jessegpresley thanks, appreciate the info🙏🏻
The enormous man crush Mojo has on this man is almost as big as the man crush we all have on Mojo. No homo, it is what it is guys. Embrace it.
love how the intros keep changing, the video quality is superior as always
The PD I worked for taught the same “Draw and Move” technique as well. That was 2007 and I believe they still do w no plans for changes.
1: The Offline
2: Don't look at your gun
3: Don't look at your holster
4: Search and assess
5: Never walk backwards
That scream during the reloads what dudes do when they dont look😂😂
The no look holstering and scan and assess stuff and also the "broken joystick" all crack me up. Two of the three are more theatrics than anything in the way they are done, and the no look holstering is really only applicable when transitioning to a rifle. Odds are, if you will be behind cover if you have to transition anyway.
This is great stuff to hear from 2 professionals, thank you gentlemen!!
Me for years " taking one step left or right is not going to reset an enemies OODA loop."
The gun community -" you clearly don't train!"
Mojo- " Taking one step to the left or right is range theatrics"
The gun community " yassss queen!"
😂
The fact that Brian is left handed is a huge deal for me. So many guntubers are right handed and have the luxury of a right handed dominated system. Would really love to have a gear setup and brands he uses that are left handed friendly. Thank you both for your service.
It all makes sense to me. Thank you guys for making this video. Semper Fi.
Dope! Thanks for these tip videos. Need more of this knowledge in the industry!
Good stuff. Never been a believer on the offline especially when it comes to close quarter engagements inside of a home or other small space where the offline or getting off the X would make a huge difference. I have seen people firing from behind other officers. Hopefully they don’t catch one in the grape by just moving.
The step left and step right movement drill is absolutely worthless.. Y’all nailed it. It’s absolutely about range safety versus realistic or good movement during a real use of force event.
Checking holster is a good practice. I do it with AIWB too. Many times I had to move my shirt so it wont get tucked into holster by pistol. And for duty holster. If You are doing more MIL related stuff, You might want to check if You don't have some stuff in Your holster that doesn't belong in there. Because... outside of flat range stuff like that can happen.

Grand Thumb is cool internet uncle.

Thanks for the info bro. This is a fantastic video!
This kind of teaching would cost you close to $80-$200 an hour be happy that mojo is doing it for free.
I think the best way to show edification the "offline" stuff works is both in a raw sims (meaning literally take samples of students in a Wild Wild West draw scenario) were one off-lines and the other is stationary and record who hits and who doesn't. Rinse repeat swapping the student who moves offline. There is some flies in the ointment on this because the individual students will determine somewhat of the outcome.
Second you look at contextual scenarios like a traffic stops for example as you get out of your car on the freeway or two lane rd. I know I'm NOT of off lining into traffic period. I'm skinning gun leather and getting my work on then changing positions to the back of my car OR the suspects car depending on where I am. Change the scenario and you are walking towards violator vehicle and are in the no mans land between both and shots come from vehicle or suspect exits and starts shooting. I'm advancing towards suspect vehicle and working towards a position of cover using the suspect vehicle. Context matters but also raw data points shaded with the student body baseline matters. SHOWING the student body by putting them in the scenario and letting them FAIL and correct the behavior to develop better schema WORKS. I know based upon arbitrary examples that I'm still faster offline then my co workers. But I'm even faster getting rounds on target standing my ground and throwing rounds at the suspect THEN moving. Sometimes literally demonstrating and showing them the timer and then making them take the ouchie rounds in SIMs drives home this point.
That's a quick AF trigger finger, accompained by a sweet-ass moustache!
I think this is a good thing to reevaluate because there are the fundamental movements that need to be practiced like move for cover, move to cover, advance and retreat. But then there are more dynamic movements that can really help a team and individuals. Iv only seen one person practiced this technique. It's required when you are being ambushed or ingaged. He quickly lowers his body parallel with the ground. From that position he ingages. Then quickly moves to better cover. I want to train like that.
Mojo tryied to give hands @ the opening vídeo! 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm somewhat new to instruction. Oftentimes we are given training material and told to teach it. I've noticed oftentimes there is a big disconnect between the point of the training vs what it looks like in an open environment not on a range. It's important to give students that information and also make the training as close to the reap environment as possible, while maintaining safety of course.
We don't rise to the level of expectations. We fall to our level of training.
Mojo I see u rocking dat alien gear Duty holster I been rocking mine for about 10 months Now best duty holster out
The Rapid Force rocks. Love mine too, smooth, fast and seems well built.

Great video as always, Maybe some video about physical training especially for marines? That would be awesome, take care!
Thank you mojo for this. This is truly helpful stuff. You are the best 🇺🇸
Someone please take mojo's spitting sound and add it to squidward walking.
Bryan bestowed us with some knowledge!.... More please.
The one that hit me the most was not looking while reholstering. It just makes sense to look while holstering hit that second to look holster and transition. Why fumble look and get good. Get good enough and apply tactics to give you the time or tools you need to win. Even if that means buying time to look while holstering to transition or find cover to reload.
Thankfully my police academy prefaced that us moving while drawing to “get off the X” is just getting us in the mindset of moving to cover. They said we will move to the next level of moving all the way to cover, rather than one step, once we hit our next firearms day. Thankfully they don’t teach taking one step after firing to “get off the X.”
However, one instructor did say we should “eventually not have to look at our holster because we should be threat focused.” Dumb.
Absolutely, stepping off-line without actually moving to cover and without continuing to fire doesn't achieve much, scanning while reaching, looking while loading, positively reholstering the sidearm, deliberate, purposeful post-engagement sequence, firing on the move from a stable platform, all best practice combat shooting.
In MOUT they told us never walk backward and never cross your feet if you had to turn sharply so you don't trip yourself. Good idea to pay attention during reloading or clearing a malfunction. And do so from cover if available. Slow is smooth smoothe is fast.
I love the gunfight around the car drill with sims or airsoft. Makes you think with a chess mindset.
Nothing like a PD redshirt to teach really bastardized techniques to new officers.
"Cha-cha-cha-cha-shot!"
You heard it. I heard it. We all heard it.
I’m a simple man. I see Mojo offering free advice, I hit play and then like👍
Which department do you work for now? Glad to hear you’re working again!
Great content sir, thanks for your insights.
In case you want to holster quickly because you want to go hands on for an arrest it is nice to Do that without looking...the situation might change quickly. But you clearly mentioned that there are no 100% rules.
Could not agree more with the other points. Thanks again, your content is amazing and your skill level is from another Planet.
Greetings from Germany, Michael (Active SEK officer / standing SWAT)
Danke für deinen Dienst!
@@hallojutuhb9071 🙏
-- primary focus goes to the greatest threat if your weapon is down it is the biggest threat you need to deal with ... unseen threats ...
-- walking backwards is just another defensive move
thanks mojo and brian
As always a wealth of knowledge and common sense. Thanks mojo!
Love your videos brotha. Thank you for knowledge!
the road to hell is paved with "good intentions"... aka... training misconceptions
good stuff - Any chance you could make a video on parallel zero for your IR/ vis laser??
lol "Bruh" (9:38) Great videos Dudes. Dig the content.
I don't always go larping... but when I do I prefer to be Mojo.
Stay ready my friends.
Great info! Bryan 👍🏻👍🏻
Another awesome video, thanks mojo and Brian.
While I understand and agree with most of this, it seemed centered on law enforcement. That’s not exactly a complaint, but the “train in kit” thing seems reasonable, if you spend your day in something approaching full kit. If you’re a civilian who walks around with a concealed, compact, sidearm and one tourniquet, that’s how you should train, most of the time. I know guys who show up to “CCW” training courses wearing body armor and drop-holsters, and I’m like, is that what you carry? And they’re like, Fuck no, but you gotta train HARD!
Yeah, it's funny because I'll show up to a course in jeans with 11 rounds in the gun and a 12 round mag in my front pocket, and the Grunt Style guys with six mags and a Glock 17 on their belt want to look down their nose. Like, I'm not training for the apocalypse, my most likely threat is some junkie with a screwdriver.
Whooa sonny becareful with that gear talk around theses parts. You don't want a bunch or LARP'ers breathing down your neck making counter accusations of being a "bRO vEt" or "gAtEkEePiNg".🤣🤣🤣
You raise an excellent point. "Train as you fight" is not often trained realisticly. When I train concealed, I wear normal clothes (and how i carry). And train in kit for work
I see Mojo running different guns and keep thinking “I remember that gun being smaller. It looks so big when Mojo runs it. “
I challenge literally anyone on this earth to reload their shotgun without looking at it. When Garand Dad was working at Magpul they made Art of the Dynamic Shotgun. They taught you to get the shotgun in front of your face to reload. Now they're doing violin style reloads and that's right in front of your face.
Damn, should have watch this BEFORE today's not so great range day.
I see both sides of walking backwards....I have seen cops falling down walking backwards in a gun fight....both have pros and cons
Bro I’ve seen em fall down just walking😂 Train train train. So many in the profession go through the motions and it’s a shame. I refuse!
Dude walking backwards under stress is funny as hell. I've biffed it so many times haha
Mojo out there spitin facts..
But because we work in the real world in people’s homes/apartments with all their crap all over the floor… which would be a situation walking backwards wouldn’t be advantageous! Glad you were able to keep your job at the dept.
MSGT Paul Howe (SFOD-D) said he never shot on the move in combat during his entire career.
No he never said that. What is your point.
I like Bryan. Bring him back sometime.🤙
I think the offline is misconstrued between people. I was taught to move with intent after an engagement to reload / get to cover. Moving left 2-3 steps just to shoot again is stupid. That's usually the biggest discrepancy I see between "offlining"
MOJO filled out paperwork to ask the government to be able to carry his rifle and the other dude said "hell to tha naw"
IMHO, moving offline is just an exercise to move and reacquire the target. Practicing acquiring the target after moving is purposeful and is not a waste of time. Moving to cover and different shooting positions would be more realistic but as discussed, a formal firing line has limitations.
Why is mojo such a likeable guy?
Index elbow to orient gun in front of your face so you have "Eyes, muzzle, target" glance from target to insert magazine, eyes back to target.
So mojo is working again? Good for you man.
If you don’t keep your eyes on the target when you reload it makes you vulnerable to bullets.
Make sure to watch your target when you reload to ensure you can’t be shot as you reload
