No problem dude, I got one question for you. Which would you pick for everyday carry, a rail mounted flashlight or handheld flashlight? Which do you think is better suited for the CAR system? Thanks!
personally, both are good so i prefer carrying one of each. my personal preference is to carry a handheld because i can keep the gun aimed in one direction while aiming the light at another point of interest. with that being said, it's a lot easier to aim the light if it's rail mounted. if i have both however, i can aim my gun at a threat while keeping the light on it and use the handheld light to search for other points of interest. i'll elaborate on this a bit further in the part 4 pistols video for you :)
Since this is a CQB system, how do you suggest defending the gun other than the shoulder shrug which make little sense to me. At least in Gomez's Count 2 of draw stroke you can strike, push or cover-up with the weak hand/arm in an attempt to defend...….omo.
I think you've done a decent job explaining many of the nuances behind Pauls system. Certain things are easier to Demo than explanation alone. It can be a hard system to explain but makes a lot more sense when out on the range. It was one of the reasons why Pauls classes were typically a week long. Paul was always the best at separating the wheat from the chaff when explaining how he saw things and application of his techniques. Paul was a real good guy and C.A.R was his baby. He never expected people to use everything he taught. He was happy if anything he taught could could help keep someone alive. He knew how hard it was making inroads on a very stringent training community. But he did make a lot of skeptics believers in the end. I've seen a lot of people try and explain how CAR works and get most things wrong. Especially when it comes to sighting. Jeff J. over at Natural Tactical was in my opinion Pauls best instructor. It's a shame Jeff was not used as a Technical Advisor for the CAR aspects of the John Wick movies. With what little information I was able to gather I would say in was someone with limited knowledge of CAR that advised KR. Yes, I was also one of Pauls Instructors. I really miss the guy.
haha it's on my to-do list for a future video. heads up though, it'll be very short. the jist of it is, if your footing isn't stable, change the position of your feet. i cannot begin to mention how many times people don't change the position/distance of their feet and they wonder why they keep getting the same results!
I took a CAR class last spring. I got hot brass lodged between my safety glasses and my face. Got hot brass down my neck. I dealt with that after I dealt with the "threat". It's not THAT hot.
I respectfully disagree with you and any instructor who says that a shooter will be unable to hit the slide release under stress because it's a fine motor movement that isn't doable under stress. Hitting the slide release with the thumb is an extremely similar movement to hitting the mag release, just in a different direction. If humans are unable to use their thumbs during stress, then there's no point in training reloads. Also, while I too dislike the 1911 slide release being so far forward, a shooter can just use their support hand thumb to hit it as the hand comes up with fresh mag, similar to an AR-15 bolt lock reload. Clint Smith w/ Thunder Ranch has said on record, during his service in Vietnam even, that he always "points the thumb at Jesus" and uses the thumb to hit the bolt release. "Quit fucking with God and Eugene [Stoner]." All that said, I have been coming back to your channel over the past few years just because I can't find as comprehensive of a guide on CAR as what you've posted. I know it's been a while, but I look forward to you potentially making more CAR videos in the future. I work at a gun range in the midwestern United States, and your videos have helped me and various customers out with trying something new while shooting.
I've never clicked on a video so fast, this came just in time.
God bless you, thank you for your awesome work. And stay safe brother!
well, thanks. always appreciate the support :)

PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT STANCES!!! T.T

looking forward to it! =D
good stuff.
Hey, was wondering if you saw my question about hot casings near your face when shooting left handed in the close quarters position.
hey, yeah i did, i'll answer your question in the part 4 video :)
I took a CAR class last spring. I got hot brass lodged between my safety glasses and my face. Got hot brass down my neck. I dealt with that after I dealt with the "threat". It's not THAT hot.
What type of training gun is that?
it's actually a $15 toy from ebay. even training guns in Australia are categorised as a real gun
I’m so sorry you live in Australia bro. Move out of that pussy country
YESSS! JUST BEFORE MY AIRSOFT SUMMER CAMP!!!! TNANK YOU!!!!
