- This week I get to have a little fun.
Fact is, the “Special” in “Special Ops” is not about how much cool gear you have, or how many cool schools you get to go to. It is about mastering the basics. That includes the basic fundamentals of marksmanship.
Combat Stance: Like you’re getting ready to fist-fight. Aren’t you fighting for your life?
Strong-Hand Grip: Hold it high on the back strap.
Support-Hand Grip: Lock your wrists, raise your strong-hand thumb and try to cover as much of the pistol grip with your support-hand as possible.
Thumbs: Ensure you stack them properly (strong-hand thumb on top). We are not shooting a revolver.
Both Eyes Open: This is combat shooting. So, practice what your body is going to do instinctively.
Proper Sight Alignment: Both front and rear sight blade must be aligned; equal light & equal height.
Breath: This is combat shooting; not the olympics.
Trigger Squeeze: Smoothly roll through that trigger. Don’t slap it.
Follow Through: “Did I hit? Did I get Desired Effect? Are there more threats?
Master these basic fundamentals of marksmanship and you’ll make yourself a better shooter. They apply to all weapon systems.

I’m learning military tactics from special forces soldiers on TH-cam. What a time to be alive !
Future is now old man!
not just a specops soldier one hell of a specops soldier
from a SM in SF .Not an easy rank to make.
World war 3 woulda happened man, knowledge is power

I swear, I grow a chest hair every time I watch one of your videos.
“Mixes metal to meat together...best feeling in the word” lol
Thanks from those who couldn't tell what he was saying!
"...mixes metal and meat together. Best feeling in the world." is what was actually said.
I can't be grateful enough for this gentleman showing us how to shoot a pistol..from stance to grip placement...this is legit my favorite video on handgun grip & shooting!💯
Thanks
I wanna thank you personally for this there’s so many young men and women out there without access to this kind of guidance that will be more confident using their weapon because of you. Making America safe again
Hahaha!!! And THAT is how to teach the fundamentals gents! Great video Karl! Short, sweet and to the point.
Thanks for watching, TR
"all you ninjas out there"
I see what you did there.
Dysfunctional Veteran I'm surprised no one got offended yet.
TheTeehee11111 I'm offended 😒😂
Gents, if you have watched many of my other videos, you know I use the term "Internet Ninjas" often, to refer to people that watch all the cool videos, but never get off the couch to actually try them. No offense for intended... unless you're an Internet ninja sitting on the couch. TR.
Tactical Rifleman - can I still be an internet ninja since I just retired from 7th SFG? Definitely enjoying your videos brother. Keep them coming. DOL!
Re-enlist Today! Lmao
Shouldve been titled Bad Ass Demonstrates Pistol Basics. Great for newcomers and awesome refresher.
Classic! Awesome Karl, it’s great to dig back into the archives. Always something to learn.
Glad you enjoyed its
The 12 dislikes come from people who got jealous of the 50m shot.
XPWNCAKESX JONES. Hahaha I'm jealous I couldn't do it but I knew there was nothing wrong with the pistol so here I am trying to learn.
Nice video. Make sure you checkout Specops Shooting Review on my blog aswell before you buy Specops Shooting. Go to *jinnyreviews. com/specops-shooting-review/* Thanks. Grayson
@@maheshkumar4228 stfu you parasite
@JKay11235 great tip moron
Yeah, they all have low muzzle velocity and a short barrel...
I just started to get into shooting and this is really helpful
Thank you so much! Great channel!
I love how u said all the "ninjas" out there, then tilt it sideways. Classic! 😂
Awesome. Basics. Fundamentals. Makes every kind of fighting more effective.
Thanks for watching, TR
Best youtube chanel ever !! Greatings from France
Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
I like the smile you are trying to suppress as the long shot...nice.😎
Cool breeze Karl , AWESOME !
Very good ideas. Thank you very much
Damn best gun channel on TH-cam. Your shooting is fast and accurate
Thanks for the support, TR
Carl (SGM), I am interested in taking some refresher training in both pistol and rifle close quarter shooting. Perhaps more advanced training after that. I live in North Jersey near New York City. I looked for a class schedule but couldn't find one. I enjoy driving so going down to Kentucky or any other relatively close State in Dixie is no problem. The time frame I am anticipating is this coming autumn, winter or spring. I own a Ruger Military and Police AR, as well as an M9A1. I trust that they would be suitable firearms. If you have a class schedule, please send me one. Also a list of required gear for the training. Thank you very much. De Oppresso Liber Tom Nugent (LTC-R)
This guyvis awesome no bullshit and funny. Watching all evening lol
Thanks for watching. TR.
Good concise video. What were you shooting?
Pretty impressive Amigo
Well done
Tactical Rifleman What mic are you using for audio? Great video🤙🏼
Karl I'm looking at getting my first pistol what would be your recommendation between Glock 17 and Sig p320x5? Is there much difference between the two? Im in Australia and are limited to these two options at present
hey tactical rifleman if you could only have one pistol to take into combat what would you pick?
During this "quarantine time", I've rewatched EVERYTHING, to stay mentally stable and retain what I've learned.......Stay sharp, y'all!!!!!!!!
Thanks Scott.
Damn, I love this TH-cam channel !!!
Thanks for watching, TR
Excellent 👍
Hey Carl, what about holds? so I was shooting back at around 25m and I kept hitting low left I what's aiming center mass. Should I just Kentucky windage or is there something im missing. I was shooting a sig p320 with the sig lite sights should I focus on the front sight post? Target focus? Do I need to hold higher for shooting back at 25 m? Or is it most likely a fundamentals problem ie breathing, grip, trigger squeeze? Please advise, thanks
"..and that is how you shoot a pistol." Nice.
Nice belt rig, even better woolly sheep, toasty ^^
It was chilly. I was comfy. Always dress in layers.
You guys should do a video comparing glock gen 4 and gen 5. We would take a your advise as a ground truth. Having said that I bought a glock 19 gen 4 instead and my girl would go nuts if I go out to buy a gen 5 again hahaha
Thanks, enjoying your channel. I wonder how many video takes were required to make that 50m shot. lol
Actually, I told them it would take three or four, but I hit it with the first shot. Decided to stop right there. Thanks for watching, TR
"Alright now all you ninjas out there" 🤨
Bruhhh I’m saying
Question to this video presentator: what is the first think to know as a civilian when picking up the firearm from a wounded policeman or military person in order to defend oneself againts one or more armed enemies? I mean, if you had to defend yourself while being pinned down by enemy fire and someone hands you a pistol or rifle.
You need to know how to operate every type of weapon that you might find on the battlefield. A SIG226 operates different from a 1911, which operates different from an 870 shotgun. Load/Fire/reload/malfunctions/unload; you must master all these skills for all weapons. It’s not as hard as it sounds, but not something that you want to try to figure out at the moment of truth. Thanks for watching, TR
Nice
I have a question: what does "roll the trigger" mean? How does one do that, and how is it different from pulling it? Thanks.
Smooth Trigger Pull.
I want learn more
Nice shooting 👍
Thanks for watching, TR
Lol men from the boys
True bad asses
Can you have a vlog or something of things you've done and places you've been for tours?
Writers like myself love to hear those types of stories, but often veterans never want to discuss them. It's funny because so many of us guys want to live vicariously through a badass soldier, but the badass soldier often just wants to forget the ghosts of their past.
/// //// we often share stories with each other, it's mostly funny things that happen. Not to sound like an asshole but I'm just speaking for me and only me, it's very hard for me to talk to normal people. I don't have much in common with them except if we chat about guns. So normally I keep to myself.
I totally understand that. 95 percent of people will say stupid shit, like, "Why didn't the cop disarm his knife?" or, "Why didn't the cop just shoot him in the leg?" or, "If anyone breaks into my home, I'll just rack my shotgun and he'll run away."
Most people, 50 percent plus 3 mil for the US, are totally out of touch with reality; and the rest of the misconceptions are mainly due to Hollywood.
So I can see how it'd be annoying to open up and share deep personal stories with random people.
Ninjas..... nice.
Almost missed that first shot (piece of cake)
Hi Karl, just out of curiosity, what kind of pistol or pistols were issued to the Green Berets at your time? And now? Thanks for the best viz on yt.
Started with 1911, then M9, then went back to 1911. Then, we were given G-19s, and we fell in love with this word called Reliability. Later, my unit was issued a modified tan G-23 .40 cal, with threaded Barrel and raised Suppressor Sights. That’s when I retired. Now, they have been given the new Army SIG. Cool part is that A-teams still have access to all those other part pistols. Carry pretty much what you want, within reason.
@@TacticalRifleman Wow, thanks for the exhaustive reply!👍 Basically you carried all the pistols issued to the armed forces along the years😃
We've got 35 ninjas out there!
Tactical Rifleman I am asking purely out of curiosity and not intending any negativity when I ask this. I'm merely an untrained civilian who sometimes takes the target out to the 25m line.
How often would secondary weapons see usage out to ranges to 50m for actual effective fire? I imagine if something went wrong and you're making a tactical retreat and are also low on primary ammo, you'll fire off rounds into a general area for supression?
Oh, also, this would be in a large outdoor urban area or wilderness, I'm not talking about room to room stuff.
Neat.
WOW!
How many takes did it take to hit the 50 meter
Figured it would take three, but I got it first try.
Whats cooler than being cool?
-ice cold- *Karl*
@JKay11235 there you are again typing the same dumb shit
Pew pew pew...easy peasy Lemon squeezy
How difficult is it to shoot a target that small at 50s. I can print 4-5 inch group at 200 meters using federal 22lr. Maybe I should give that 50 meter target a try to see if I am a man or a boy :)
Piece of cake. 100m gets a little harder with 9mm depending on what type of pistol.
This guy should be the one doing the "most interesting man in the world" commercials.
I actually met the original "Most Interesting Man in the World" at a shooting gig that Maxim Magazine put on. He was a nice guy. Short, but nice. Didn't drink beer. Him and his wife drank wine the whole time. Thanks for watching, TR.
Tactical Rifleman Nice. Funny thing is I met that guy’s son a few months ago. His son is married to a friend of a friend and I met him at a party in Los Angeles.
Small world.
I have trouble going out to farther than 15 yards or so. Within 15 yards, I'm pretty accurate (not super tight groupings, but I can hit roughly head-sized groupings), but past 15 yards...totally hit or miss. At 25-50 yards I have trouble even putting rounds on a body sized target. Any tips for shooting at distance?
Your not using the fundamentals and slow down
Ryan K. Thanks for the tip, will slow down. I think the difficulty arises from two aspects when I go long distance. 1. I start to lose the sight picture because the target is getting to be roughly the size of my front sight, not sure where to put the sights. 2. I can't help but anticipate recoil so I shoot down and to the left. Any tips for this?
Enumaris88 Have you considered a red dot with say a 3 moa dot? I can hold on a head size plate at 100 yards an the dot only covers 3 inches. I for one love it. making 200 yard shots center of mass is even doable with a red dot.
Yes, I have considered a red dot sight. It's a bit pricey though, especially with the extra effort I'd have to go through to mount it. I was thinking of getting the glock MOS to make mounting easier, but it's only on the gen 4 glocks, and those are all banned (from sale) here in Cali haha.
I know that long distance shooting can be done accurately even with iron sights though. I see hickock hit his 200 yd gong all the time with iron sights. Saw Travis Haley hit 300 yd metal target with a 1911 too. I know that my gun is a lot more accurate than I am. I want to train to be more accurate with what I got before I shell out so much money on a red dot.
Thanks for the tip though!
Enumaris88 Wow is the gen4 glock mos really banned in California? How stupid is that. I have the 19 mos an have a cheaper fast fire 3 on it. I shot my first competition ever an got 2nd place which says a lot for the site. But yes you can do a lot with iron sites. Maybe experiment with different iron sites that really pop for you or different height from site that allows you to have a six o'clock hold so site doesn't block out target?
How could you not like this video? Amazing the stupidity of some people I guess. Great job Karl, keep those videos coming
You will never make EVERYONE happy. I for sure don't care and have insanely thick skin from living with animals for 25 years. I like teaching. I like sharing my knowledge for FREE on the internet. I LOVE the TH-cam "Comment Delete" Button. Thanks for watching, TR
Do you keep both eyes open? Or just use one eye?
Both eyes, we did a video on it: th-cam.com/video/_QGovvkWnCU/w-d-xo.html
OK, 50 metres is pretty bloody impressive.
Wow.
if i was going to war and never fired a gun and showed me this video i would feel like john wick
You make it look too easy. Haha
i fear for those who try to mug him, whether he has a gun or not. if he does, don’t even think about. if he doesnt, still dont think abt it
a pro
What Glock did he use?
I grabbed a Glock-34 that morning, because it already had the light mounted on it. That said, my draw is actually faster with my G-23 or G-19X. They all fit that holster, along with my G-17 & G-35; if they have a Surefire light mounted on them. It just depends on what mood I'm in when I'm drawing guns that day.
Tactical Rifleman Thanks for replying, I just noticed your replied
#HOOOOOAH
I worry about someone who has to practice looking left and right when they go empty. Yikes!
I'm..point pull trigger..lesson over
Yeah most don't do that.
is he a brown bear
NINJAS ?!?!??
Using this to write a novel… Jesus I’m gonna get so many gun TH-cam accounts on my recommended…
What’s the novel about? Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman it’s mostly wasteland survival, however the second half will focus more on large militaristic conflicts, it’s pretty much just a bunch of shooter/survival video games merged. Thanks for asking.
DE OPRESSO LIBER
From 5 to 50 meters in only 10 minutes or your money back.
Poor audio on this video.

The 41 dislikes are because he's shooting a Glock.... I'll wait LOL
Yep, I can't please everyone. That's fine. Thanks for watching, TR
What’s wrong with shooting a glock ?.
Glock 34 is the best
not very informative. how about instructions on the trigger finger proper placement of finger on trigger. stance footwork shoulders head etc. it just seems like a this video was showing us your skills but not teaching them. please do an instructional video. Looking forward to seeing one ! thanks for all your efforts.
Sorry I didn't get deep enough for you. If you dig back through our video list, you'll find many videos on pistol shooting. This one was meant to be just for a little fun.
Tactical Rifleman , I apologize i had no clue. I will definitely look back at those videos. Again thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm newer to your channel but I have already applied some of these tactics to my professional career and it has come in handy. I don't have anywhere near the experience you have, but i genuinely look forward to learning more from your videos. Thank you again and God bless.
Thanks for the kind words. Our goal is to have a proffesional TH-cam Channel where experienced guys can share info. As it is not a "Entertainment" channel, with lots of crazy shooting crap,we will never get millions of viewers. That said, please help us spread the word. TR.
do you shoot with eyes open or one closed?
Always shoot with both eyes open
