That is an excellent way to do such ... Something about recording yourself,and seeing your faults for correction is a phenomenal tool. You're , your best critic.
The “playing” part is such a underrated thing. “Playing” is just as important as dry fire. Yea you can point and shoot but are you actually confident and comfortable about the tool in your hands?
So long as the person doing the playing doesn’t forget to or accidentally skips over the “check the weapon for ammo” part. Had a colleague die that way. Transitioning from carry mode to play mode has got to be deliberate
The tip to get off the trigger during dry fire revealed that I disturb my sights after the shot breaks and I get off the trigger, which is probably why my accuracy suffers on follow up shots. Thanks for giving me yet another thing to improve on, Lucas! Always pushing people to up their abilities and it shows.
First time gun owner. Bought a bull armory Cherokee 9mm and I’m finding these videos very informative. I’ve had it 2 weeks and have been working on dry fire exercises. I want to be extremely responsible with my firearm. This channel is awesome.

@@TYRIDES13 If you are willing to carry a criminal status for life and lose many years behind bars and be stripped for life of any sort of weapons... Be my guest. I'll stick to my EDC knife. :(
Thanks lucas, I was paranoid about damaging my guns because of all the misinformation but you put me at ease with this video. I practice cqb and weapons handling inside all the time. Great confidence boost in my abilities and now no fear of damage. Been watching your stuff from the get go, great job.
Probably one of the best dry firing skill sets I’ve seen. It’s amazing how much of his training his similar to similar drills/training techniques you seen in martial arts, MMA fighters, etc. Very articulate, proficient, and best economy of motion I’ve ever seen. Great Job
I have 2 mags set up specifically for dry fire, one has the follower and spring removed and pennies glued inside to simulate the weight of a loaded mag and the other has the follower blocked so it can only fit a single snap cap. I also painted the base plates neon yellow for easy identification. Just helps me with peace of mind that I'm not going to squeeze a 9mm round into my neighbor's living room.
From what I have seen, Mr. Botkin has basically created a martial art for firearms. I've been teaching traditional Okinawan Karate for over thirty years and can see the same level of mastery and precession consistently executed in his technique that I have witnessed performed by masters in the martial arts world. It is truly rare to see such skill, innovation and insight in one so young, it will be interesting to see his form and technique evolve as he gets older and gains more experience with his discipline.
If you’re talking about call of duty war zone that ain’t gonna help. First person video games and actual Real life field of view is very different. I don’t want to get into the recoil magazine change since a video game does that for you already. But then again maybe you’re not talking about call of duty lol
@@Sandman-ge8jz Ya - recoil management is something you can only do in live fire - that’s taken care of with the solid grip that you can train in dry fire I throttle down on my pistol in dry fire as hard as I would live I don’t like the phrase “recoil control” either - you can’t control recoil - you just have to reduce it and learn how to time your trigger press to coincide with your sights as they drop back into target alignment Mimicking recoil by moving your firearm in dry fire sounds like training to flinch
This is the absolute best dry-fire instructional video I have see to date. And family friendly too!. Thanks for a great video. I had the same issue of pressing the trigger during dry fire and not releasing...and I noticed it the next time I was on my range...was a little sluggish to reset the trigger, then it hit me.

This is one of your better videos. Good work. The importance of dry firing CANNOT be understated, it's such an important part of training. Not to mention, it's virtually free, it's a "force mulitiplier" in a sense when it comes to your training because it saves you ammo and money.
Finally ... after weeks of watching Lucas tease us of this video, it’s uploaded and I’ve been so anxious to learn more , you guys are a great underrated resource with new ways to help and educate us and for that I say thank you , you guys rock!
@@christo2690 Agreed - Jerry has a great way of drilling down on the basics The video where he explains recoil management with a long wooden stake is as clear as you can get
Thank you for this video. I’ve been doing dry fires every day/night this last week and I feel so much more confident carrying them before. I never realized how much could be done with no ammo. I wish I would have discovered this channel long ago.
This dude is a prime example of what practice will do for you. From beginners all the way up. Smooth, Quick, precise, technical. Good shit dude I always learn something from you.
I gotta say Mr Botkins, one video, How To Shoot in 10 Minutes, first video of yours I watched, I went to the range, fired my best 50 rounds, tightest pattern with my 9mm ever. I felt the confidence, the control, the left hand, both eyes open, it's a process and I am so glad I found this channel. This video just upp'ed my dry fire training game immensely.
Some people are just more talented and develop a skill much quicker as well. It's just funny to me when people focus on shooting but are really out of shape and have no stamina to carry any gear/run or even hold their weapon. They think firing from a bench is practice
I just started shooting, and even though I did OK my first couple of times at the range, my groupings were kind of all over the place. With ammo being scarce, I decided to spend a little time each day dry-firing, just working on the only three things I knew about at the time: grip, sight picture, and trigger press. After a week, I went back to the range, and was amazed by how much I had improved.
@@slipknnnot Wrong and uneducated c comment. It has nothing to do with "talent" and it has nothing to do with physical shape . You will get outskilled any day by fat and chubby dudes and / or lanky and out of shape dudes and women too. Shooting has EVERYTHING to do with training and purpose.

This is by far the best instructional video on dry fire methods I’ve seen in years. Awesome job young man! This is a great presentation For me as I transition from retirement from the Army to becoming a competitive shooter. Thank you!
I used to do that, but without the follower or bullets your practice reloads will feel very different from the real thing. Get dummy rounds and fill out the mag and you can feel the difference. A full 15 rd mag is what you'll most likely be reloading with anyways (certainly much more realistic than reloading an empty mag without a follower). You'll quickly realize you need much more force to reliably seat the mag into the gun so that the mag catch works on a full magazine. Don't short change your training.
There are a handful of cool gadgets to make dryfiring more fun and realistic, but they often cost as much as a new pistol! I love that Lucas always advocates for practicing basics and putting in the work without spending a fortune on gear.
Happy to see that simply picking up my firearm to practice my grip and all this "playing" is something he talks about. Its something i do constantly daily. Whenever im able to be alone i practice my reload, grip, draw, and, most importantly for me since its my weak point, retaining sight picture while actually dry firing. A slight struggle for me with a double action revolver but getting better
im trying to be confident in my handgun skills so when i am old enough to open carry in WA i will be confident and safe with my Glock 17 gen 5 with rubber talon grip and night sights thank you so much iv been watching your content a ton helps a lot.
As always, very helpful. I've been doing dry-fire drills and some dry-fire from the couch everyday for the past 2 months and I can see a difference in my live-fire accuracy and handling.
Great Video! I've been using the laserlyte target for over a year now almost everyday and notice a huge difference in my shooting at the range. My confidence is solid and it shows at the range.
Also thank you for not being one of those guys who's like "dry fire in a different room than you store your ammo completely, or don't dry fire at all!" kinda hard to accomplish living in a studio apartment lol.
This guy is a GREAT teacher. I feel bad for not being able to pay him for all the things he did to show us how to be better. The day I bought my first gun I found T.REX ARMS and because of him and everyone else in his team I became a great shooter. Everyday I do nothing but reps of everything. I even have a "shower" pistol and I practice in the shower, you may never know someone wants to break into your home and have a gun fight while you are taking a shower. T.REX ARMS love all the content. Thank you.
At 21:59 the one handed reload (while covering a chest wound) is impressive. That RDO must be incredibly robust that it doesn't get damaged or out of alignment with the way you're always using it has a handle/lever during your drills.
Very true, but the timer is only as good as your Mic, which for the most part isn't precise enough on phones and headsets. For dryfire, absolutely no difference. But live fire, the times are different from app to app, and you can even change your times by whole tenths of a second just by changing settings in the app. Shot timers are always worth it 🤙
00:15:07 Lucas training shows when he habitually started to clear a malfunction when it didn't fire. Then the aimbot errorred out for a second when it reassessed what it was doing.
As a new gun owner, a good friend of mine who is a seasoned gun guy recommended me watch your videos, and I’m learning a lot! Thanks for the video, and a new subscriber!
Referred to your page by a competitive shooter friend. I live in NJ and finally got my handgun and gun permits sorted out. The videos are great. thanks very much!
A lot of the major outlets are going to receive their ammuntion orders in September. I just hope prices drop back down. I don't even like going to the range anymore. Ammo is just way to expensive right now.
tackytrooper I shouldn’t have said price, as I was only referring to demand. And yes correct, as we both agree, if he wins, demand will remain higher than ever for a few extra months.
Man I am 40 years old and purchased my first gun a few months ago. An AR-15. Yep that guy. The first time I shot I was hooked. Thanks for all of your help!
Awesome tips, I’m 72 and still proficient, but I can improve with these drills. I have a laser target system I’ve used before that shows on the target where the laser strikes the target. I have a G19X and a Taurus PT111 that has double strike capability. The benefit with the Taurus is I can place multiple shots on target and then run the reload drill. BTW I do carry a pistol every waking hour, 24/7/365 except for leap years!!!!
So in Alabama you are allowed to open carry a pistol at 19 with no conceal carry permit. You can also get a conceal carry permit at 19. You may not be able to purchase a pistol or the ammo until you are 21 but someone can legally buy them for you.
This video was really helpful! I plan on getting a G17 when I turn 21 this November so in the meantime I am practicing getting sight picture with my airsoft pistol!
Update. I am back at this video again for review. Ended up getting a Taurus G3 because it was basically a Glock 19 with a discrete physical safety (don't care about using it, but its just nice to have), a trigger that I like more, and ergonomics that fit my hands better. Did I mention it was like half the price of the Glock? So yea now I am dry fire practicing with this instead between range days each week.
Wow, GREAT video! It's 2022 and, while ammo is coming back, it's not very cheap. With primers still very hard ($2000 for 5000 small pistol primers when available) to come by, reloading is out for now. I'm 67, retired and was wondering how I can keep my skills up then this video came up on my feed. Excellent suggestions and I have been putting targets on the back of my garage door, closing the door and practicing these drills most days. I have an adequate amount of ammo for now, but why waste it when I can advance my skills using the techniques Lucas has shown in this video. When I have gone to the range, I've noticed the advancement in my skills from my practice at home. Thank you for this video as I am more confident in protecting my family, home and preparing for the many threats that can come my way! 👍🏻
Great video! He talks and moves very fast so it's easy to miss. Before 'playing' with your gun, make darn sure your mags are empty and there isn't a round in the chamber. You may notice he repeatedly is checking both throughout his drills. Check, double check and triple check. Keep ammo and full mags in a separate room until you're done. Don't want people getting shot by 'unloaded' guns.
You sir are a teacher. A good teacher. I am impressed by how much information - even rudimentary information you pack into your presentation - as if it were the most important information anyone could obtain. Well done, and yes I learned a lot.
In Germany I am not even allowed to leave the house with a folding knife that can be opened with one hand... 🤦♂️ Also Germany: Let anyone who claims to be a Syrian refugee into the country without a passport and without checking their luggage at least once when they cross the border. Conclusion: The German government has a great sense of humor when it comes to security issues.
Move to Czech rep. or Slovakia then :) Even foreign citizens with permanent residence can get firearm licence and then to carry, although I know only one who lives here for about 10 years already.

If you don't want to reload a snap cap every time for your reload drills remove the follower from your mag.
I used to do that, but without the follower or bullets your practice reloads will feel very different from the real thing. Get dummy rounds and fill out the mag and you can feel the difference. A full 15 rd mag is what you'll most likely be reloading with anyways (certainly much more realistic than reloading an empty mag without a follower). You'll quickly realize you need much more force to reliably seat the mag into the gun so that the mag catch works on a full magazine. Don't short change your training.
There are a handful of cool gadgets to make dryfiring more fun and realistic, but they often cost as much as a new pistol! I love that Lucas always advocates for practicing basics and putting in the work without spending a fortune on gear.
This is my new favorite channel and I appreciate all the drills to use at home to practice, perfect.
This video is about to go insane again in a few months on election year. One of the first videos I’ve watched when I picked up firearms, thanks Lucas!
Happy to see that simply picking up my firearm to practice my grip and all this "playing" is something he talks about. Its something i do constantly daily. Whenever im able to be alone i practice my reload, grip, draw, and, most importantly for me since its my weak point, retaining sight picture while actually dry firing. A slight struggle for me with a double action revolver but getting better
im trying to be confident in my handgun skills so when i am old enough to open carry in WA i will be confident and safe with my Glock 17 gen 5 with rubber talon grip and night sights
thank you so much iv been watching your content a ton helps a lot.
As always, very helpful. I've been doing dry-fire drills and some dry-fire from the couch everyday for the past 2 months and I can see a difference in my live-fire accuracy and handling.
Hands down Best dry fire video on the interwebs!!!
Great Video! I've been using the laserlyte target for over a year now almost everyday and notice a huge difference in my shooting at the range. My confidence is solid and it shows at the range.
Also thank you for not being one of those guys who's like "dry fire in a different room than you store your ammo completely, or don't dry fire at all!" kinda hard to accomplish living in a studio apartment lol.
Safety is important, but some gun owners/speakers are completely neurotic.
Another absolute BANGER from T.Rex arms. All my coworkers are gonna be so sick of hearing about you guys
This video is seriously crammed full of pearls. Wow.
This guy is a GREAT teacher. I feel bad for not being able to pay him for all the things he did to show us how to be better. The day I bought my first gun I found T.REX ARMS and because of him and everyone else in his team I became a great shooter. Everyday I do nothing but reps of everything. I even have a "shower" pistol and I practice in the shower, you may never know someone wants to break into your home and have a gun fight while you are taking a shower. T.REX ARMS love all the content. Thank you.
Love that you continuously check to make sure the gun is empty. Good habit to teach. My Dad always tells me to treat all weapons like they are loaded.
At 21:59 the one handed reload (while covering a chest wound) is impressive. That RDO must be incredibly robust that it doesn't get damaged or out of alignment with the way you're always using it has a handle/lever during your drills.
Lucas: “million, bajillion”
Me: Dudes legit
I got a Tipp to everyone who don't have a shoot time :
In the app store is a shoot timer app
And works great!
I use one called "Splits".
Yap, i use one called "Splits". Works great.
I just downloaded it and I'll try it out on your recommendation! I also found a dry fire practice timer
Very true, but the timer is only as good as your Mic, which for the most part isn't precise enough on phones and headsets. For dryfire, absolutely no difference. But live fire, the times are different from app to app, and you can even change your times by whole tenths of a second just by changing settings in the app. Shot timers are always worth it 🤙
@@mckadehansen7352 that's true bro
24 mins of great valuable content, no fluff straight to the point. You gained a new subscriber
After everithing I read in the comments, I have just one thing to say: THANK YOU LUCAS!
00:15:07
Lucas training shows when he habitually started to clear a malfunction when it didn't fire. Then the aimbot errorred out for a second when it reassessed what it was doing.

His mag reload is so fast, the new magazine is in before the empty one hits the floor
Practice makes perfect. He practices what he preaches
Incredibly fast reload for sure.

As a new gun owner, a good friend of mine who is a seasoned gun guy recommended me watch your videos, and I’m learning a lot! Thanks for the video, and a new subscriber!
Referred to your page by a competitive shooter friend. I live in NJ and finally got my handgun and gun permits sorted out. The videos are great. thanks very much!
A lot of the major outlets are going to receive their ammuntion orders in September. I just hope prices drop back down. I don't even like going to the range anymore. Ammo is just way to expensive right now.
How do you know when they're going to receive the ammo?
That is why I bought a Ruger 10/22.
Now when I go to the range only go through 50-100 rounds of 9mm. The rest of the time I enjoy shooting my .22lr.
Most think ammo prices won’t go down til after the election. And if Biden wins, then add few extra months to that.
@@carsonhunt4642 If Biden wins every site will become Cheaper Than Dirt overnight and still be sold out within hours.

I shouldn’t have said price, as I was only referring to demand. And yes correct, as we both agree, if he wins, demand will remain higher than ever for a few extra months.

Knowledge is wealth, not many men give that out for free.-Thank You
Exactly! Been dryfiring/no ammo training since my youth. You just got a new subscriber good sir!
Man I am 40 years old and purchased my first gun a few months ago. An AR-15. Yep that guy. The first time I shot I was hooked. Thanks for all of your help!
Great instructional, easy to understand, very very helpful. Thanks my friend.
Awesome tips, I’m 72 and still proficient, but I can improve with these drills. I have a laser target system I’ve used before that shows on the target where the laser strikes the target. I have a G19X and a Taurus PT111 that has double strike capability. The benefit with the Taurus is I can place multiple shots on target and then run the reload drill. BTW I do carry a pistol every waking hour, 24/7/365 except for leap years!!!!
Love this video! I’m new to shooting and this was incredibly helpful! Thank you. This guy knows his stuff! ❤️
This video is the best video I've seen on TH-cam. Awesome at home training.
Damn, this has been the best dry fire vid I've watched all week. Thanks for this

Lucas: reign energy drinks is superior to water
Right
Yes, but does it have the electrolytes? 😂

Lucas: “I’m going to assume you guys are carrying a pistol on you all day every day”
Me: *cries in 19*
*Polymer 80 has entered the chat*
2 more year. I was there few years ago
Hudson Bebo side note, I have the p80 grip on my sig and DAMN do I love it
So in Alabama you are allowed to open carry a pistol at 19 with no conceal carry permit. You can also get a conceal carry permit at 19. You may not be able to purchase a pistol or the ammo until you are 21 but someone can legally buy them for you.
Cries harder in 17
This video was really helpful! I plan on getting a G17 when I turn 21 this November so in the meantime I am practicing getting sight picture with my airsoft pistol!
Update. I am back at this video again for review. Ended up getting a Taurus G3 because it was basically a Glock 19 with a discrete physical safety (don't care about using it, but its just nice to have), a trigger that I like more, and ergonomics that fit my hands better. Did I mention it was like half the price of the Glock?
So yea now I am dry fire practicing with this instead between range days each week.
this guy may never been in combat before but he sure is a great teacher.
appreciate it.
Wow, GREAT video! It's 2022 and, while ammo is coming back, it's not very cheap. With primers still very hard ($2000 for 5000 small pistol primers when available) to come by, reloading is out for now. I'm 67, retired and was wondering how I can keep my skills up then this video came up on my feed. Excellent suggestions and I have been putting targets on the back of my garage door, closing the door and practicing these drills most days. I have an adequate amount of ammo for now, but why waste it when I can advance my skills using the techniques Lucas has shown in this video. When I have gone to the range, I've noticed the advancement in my skills from my practice at home. Thank you for this video as I am more confident in protecting my family, home and preparing for the many threats that can come my way! 👍🏻
Great video!
He talks and moves very fast so it's easy to miss. Before 'playing' with your gun, make darn sure your mags are empty and there isn't a round in the chamber. You may notice he repeatedly is checking both throughout his drills. Check, double check and triple check. Keep ammo and full mags in a separate room until you're done. Don't want people getting shot by 'unloaded' guns.
I would actually feel sorry for anyone that meets Lucas in a home invasion attempt; they wouldn't stand a chance.
I’ve learned a lot on this channel. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge my brother 👊🏼
Most compreensive guide that I saw so far! Thanks for the great content.
You sir are a teacher. A good teacher. I am impressed by how much information - even rudimentary information you pack into your presentation - as if it were the most important information anyone could obtain. Well done, and yes I learned a lot.
Its like waiting on a new episode of your favorite show to drop
I know
In Germany I am not even allowed to leave the house with a folding knife that can be opened with one hand... 🤦♂️
Also Germany: Let anyone who claims to be a Syrian refugee into the country without a passport and without checking their luggage at least once when they cross the border.
Conclusion: The German government has a great sense of humor when it comes to security issues.
Sounds like you need to remove those currently in power
Move to Czech rep. or Slovakia then :)
Even foreign citizens with permanent residence can get firearm licence and then to carry, although I know only one who lives here for about 10 years already.
You guys went from one socialist, totalitarian chancellor laying waste to Europe, right to another.
I honestly fear for my family every time I think about the state of things back there.
Gotta love a country that started both world wars taking the morale high ground😒
Eeeeeehhhhh you lack a lotta info there. Germany wasn’t responsible... at all... but whatever.
When u we're talking about bringing ur finger off the trigger all I can see is john lovell screaming OFF AND ON!
I love the Way Lucas does not even need to look at the gun as he loads it. AWESOME (see at @1:58 of the video) Cheers!
This was my second time watching this video all the way through. Wow! So much useful info and tips. Thank you
