I shot left handed my entire life, until I got to my Basic Firearms course. The academy instructor made me shoot right handed. I grumbled a bit at the time, but I'd recommend it for all southpaws today. The world is built for right handers, and if you have to use somebody else's gear in an emergency, it'll be a right hander's. Whenever I'm at the range I practice one handed both with my right hand and with my left, and two handed with both. I'm very proficient, and I have my instructor to thank. Another thing a lot of guys don't work on nearly on nearly enough is move and shoot. A stationary shooter is a much easier target for a shooter under stress, and moving between shots significantly lowers your chances of being hit.
Bro…..the first time I shot with my R hand I hit the bullseye 4 times in a row from 12 yards…….I have better trigger control with my right hand than my main left but left eye dominant
Can I move? I’m better when I move.
I agree, I’m right handed but I like guns with ambi controls, I try to practice shooting with my left hand just in case
@Master Marc Subliminals no bragging, just an observation from thinking I was all lefty. If you can shoot with your toes, that’s impressive. Like them circus archer ladies
@Master Marc Subliminals I'm not sure what you think I'm bragging about. Having a smart instructor?

Your points are valid. However, I never load up the +1. Because in my experience if I am going to have a failure to feed or a failure to eject it will happen when the +1 round is fired. The experiences of other people may be different and I respect that.
I've watched you from the very beginning of your firearms carry journey. You've come a long way since those days. I've been at it for 30 years and would never say I know it all. I'm an old dog, always willing to learn new tricks! Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks for highlighting these tips. Yes tips, because we all need to practice to be safe and proficient to protect ourselves and others.
Respect for honest feedback and having morals and common sense. God bless brother. 🇺🇲
Thx for calling yourself out! Saves my ego by showing others YOUR mistakes, not mine! Since I'm the consummate professional in all things!
I was a tactical instructor for the agency I worked for. When we had students on the firing line, we would load the magazines for them. We would load a fired casing somewhere in the mag. Not only did it show them flinching, or anticipating the shot, it also caused them to clear the firearm and get back into the fight.
Hegshot,
I enjoyed this video because it shows you want to improve and that attitude is contagious, so THANK YOU. I am still new to the CCW world but have taken a few classes at Sig Sauer and watched some drills on the Wilson Combat channel and came up with the following drills to test my skill with my EDC.
1. The Half Test from Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn - 10-5-5 - When you get to the range (COLD) set up a NRA B-8 target at 10 yards, use 5 rounds of your self-defense ammo using your EDC, and score a 45 or better in 5 seconds or less using a shot timer or your phone. This should be done from the Low Ready. If you score outside of the black circle add a second to your time. This is a realistic test because you may have to defend yourself COLD. Whatever your score is will allow you to see what you need to improve on.
2. After the Half Test I perform the 2-2-2 drill by Ken Hackathorn (COLD right after the Half Test) - Using the NRA B-8C circle or A-Zone of an IDPA target or equivalent, set it up at 10-yards using normal practice ammo. From Concealment shoot 2 rounds with both hands, then two rounds from the strong hand only and switch to your support hand and fire another two rounds. This should be done in 9 seconds or less shooting just 6 rounds and the goal is to shoot it clean with all rounds within the respective target zones. Whatever the results are it will let you know what to improve on.
These drills have helped me improve my shooting and made me more confident with my EDC.
Great drills for sure. Thanks brother
I’ve also heard that one hand shooting is important if you are potentially shielding your kids or bystanders with your off hands. That made a lot of sense to me rather than the combat wounded scenario. Good for you sharing this one sir
Also what if you're in your vehicle and get attacked you'll need to maintain control of the vehicle, so that'll be one handed shooting!!!
I think it's important to train yourself not to do that. Your arm isn't gonna stop a bullet but it will help you stop the shooter.
@@Wildwestwrangler we need batmobile
It makes a lot of sense to learn to shoot with one hand. One, for all the reasons stated. Also if, like myself, only having one arm. LoL practice practice practice 🙂
@@Wildwestwrangler lol
One of the best training methods to counteract flinching was shown to me by a friend. He "voluntarily" loaded one of my magazines but unbeknownst to me, he had put a snap cap somewhere along the line of live rounds. When I came to that snapcap, my flinching was obvious. Using this method you can help to train out the flinch.
It also stresses clearing malfunctions under fire.. its a great training aid and one we use in my employment.
He literally talked about that in the video.
For the one handed practicing the draw with off hand and one hand reloads is hard but has to be done. Some folks don't think it's needed but we have to train for the bad. Thanks for the video!
One thing that helped me with shot anticipation was keeping my head up and bringing the gun to my eye.
(Avoid dropping head down and forward)
upright/aligned body posture helped calm my nerves for a better “flinch response”
We’re all here looking to improve. Thanks for doing the research and giving us your thoughts. Sorry about the idiots out there that can’t comprehend civility.
The best way to learn something well is to teach it and to be willing to learn from the students. Congratulations on putting that into practice.
The laser-based dry fire systems are really helpful.
I have a method of inducing/mimicking stress/adrenaline that has worked pretty well for me.
I pick my firing position, either marking it or visualizing the spot. Then I pick an object or spot a good distance away.
I sprint from the firing position to the object, and sprint back. As I get close to the line I hit the random time (2-5 seconds) on my timer.
At the beep I draw and fire as quickly and accurately as possible.
The sprinting gets the heart rate up and blood pumping, and not knowing exactly when I’m going to hear the BEEEP induces a surprising amount of adrenaline and anxiety.
It sounds cheesy but it’s made noticeable improvements in my shooting with adrenaline
This is a great vid because of the way you come across! here’s an analogy: I build concrete skateboard parks. I learned everything I know and got pretty good at it, built a decent reputation by talking to people who know more than I do. Not having the humility to ask questions robs yourself of your own potential! Gun culture is VERY similar- never had anyone treat me like an idiot for asking questions at a range, shop, training facility, etc. I shoot way way better because of everything I learn and pick up by just being a part of the community.
Honest, humble, and plenty of knowledge to help out less experienced shooters to develop better shooting habits because of the approach. Good on ya bro. We need more gun owners in America and your approach to stuff, I'd imagine would make a newer shooter feel less overwhelmed about proper techniques n habits.
Very cool video. Trust me, it’s not only you that has things to work on to be a more prepared concealed, defensive carrier. I think it’s awesome you admit to some of the things people have “called you out” on that you need to work on. Nobody is above constructive criticism. It’s how we learn. No matter how long we have done something and how good we may be at it, we NEVER stop learning.
Thanks for this video and self reflection of what you can do better this way we are all learning too.
... something me and a friend do at the range is he loads a mag for me, and I do the same for him, and somewhere in that mag we place a snap cap, to do immediate action drills with ...
I agree with reviewing new models for content etc however with how fast manufacturers keep dropping new models it's important to realize not everyone can just keep buying the same gun over and over because of an improved trigger or more rounds. That's a good way to go broke fast. If you have an older model that reliably feeds ammo and are accurate with that weapon it's not always wise to upgrade.
Anthony, putting in a better trigger is always an option too. Easy w today's kits. I upgraded my new Hellcat pro. Original trigger was terrible. 6.5 lb pull, ( I like really light, fast triggers.) Put in a powder river upgrade kit & dropped it to 3.5. Shorter stroke, quicker reset. ( Used the blue spring). Lot cheaper & faster that waiting for hellcat to get it right.
I love learning new things to improve, thank you!😊
Damn. Topping that mag off by hand like a boss
Practicing with a dummy round in the mix is a good idea, and then a bad idea at the same time. While it helps you control your flinching, it kind of sets you up for a potential disaster. If you do this, and get used to just racking and rocking on, you might encounter a silent squib load. We do the dummy round at times in our classes, but with one difference, We treat every click no bang as a squib. Keep it pointed down range, wait a minute, drop the mag, check the chamber, etc.
I treat every click, no bang, as a bad round. I treat every funny sounding, real light bang, as a squib. No funny bang, no squib.
From my time as a volunteer FF they told us never leave rounds chambered bc if there’s a fire and that round cooks off since it’s in the chamber it will fire. Has it ever happened and hurt a firefighter? Who knows. Just a thought
We never stop learning. Great video
Man I really don't practice enough one handed and off hand enough either. I think I'll devote my next range day to it. Thanks for the reminder!
Seeing other people's mistakes and especially my own mistakes is helpful as knowledge and or learning to me or maybe just to think about it from a different perspective so I appreciate the video bro
Much respect. We can always learn more or learn again. Keep up the good work.
You are correct, me included do not practice one hand and off hand nearly enough
back in the mid-90's, 1/2 Marines, we carried -1 in a pistol mag and -2 in a rifle round. very few FTF/FTE/stovepipe/etc... reliability is key. I never 'top off' with my carry gun.
Just test it full +1 to see if it works reliably. If not, don't top up.
I load my pistol mags until I feel like they're full enough...Glock 19 so mostly 15, sometimes 14, even occasionally I find out I only had 13... I carry at least one spare mag, and usually two so I'm not even a little bit worried about the one extra round. When people +1, they typically "port load" the pistol which isn't good for the extractor, and even though leaving mags loaded doesn't generally hurt the performance it does cause the spring to have deformation over time which makes it shorter. When we +1 the pistol and leave it then it's only mashing the spring down even more and causing more deformation that may lead to feeding issues down the road. +1 is the sort of thing I only see inexperienced/untrained people do. There's guys who've carried for years who are still inexperienced and untrained.
@@vitogriffin8902 that sounds reasonable unless you're already dealing with low capacity, I guess. Like 7 or 8 rounds. Then again, you could just switch to a higher capacity pistol, an extended magazine, or carry a spare.
Cool video! first time viewer i clicked cuz it was different then same old same ole lots of tubers are putting out, I’m curious why take the mag out of gun you store in safe at all if you’re leaving one in the hole is there a reason for that?
For those who wanna practice at home for ab $100 you can get replicas of almost any gun as an airsoft gun. You can take the follower/dig/cut the spring out of the mag. Once you do that pop co2 in it and you have a dry firing version of your cc gun. you can pull the trigger multiple times, and while no where near the actual amount, you’ll get a little bit of recoil as well. I like this cuz with snap caps you have to pull the slide back every time but with this it will cycle till it’s out of gas.
On the flinching, a USCCA instrictor/Gun Range Owner had us do a drill they called "Bang - No Bang".
Idea is simple; load several magazines for your weapon "blind" with a bin/box of ammo of choice mixed up with snap-caps (or have a buddy do it to minimize knowing what round is where).
The drop said magazines into a bag, shake it up, and, again, "blind" retrieve your desired number of mags, put them where you normally carry them and one in the weapon, and proceeded with your drill of choice.
I thought this was crazy but it WORKS.
That hellcat cured my flinch. Got a red dot on it plus its a heavy trigger with a rolling break. The dot let me see just how much flinch there was. plus in slow fire your never quite sure when that striker is gonna drop. So now when i let my thumb accidently hold down the mag release and it goes click im super proud to see the sights not move. Option 2 buy a S&W 500 and shoot that for a while. that 9 will feel like a 22 short.
I have held people at gun point one handed more than once, for various reasons, so it's something that definitely happens in the real world. Good idea to practice it.
Were you grabbing their wallet with the other hand? LOL
I give you a lot of credit for making this video alot of youtubers are soo sensitive and cant take the smallest amount of criticism..
I think it is fun to shoot weak handed. It forces you to concentrate, it is a challenge, and not only because of possible injury, should be used for shooting around corners and keeping your body behind cover.
Love the dummy round in the magazine for flinch.
Try the Mantis 10x system... does 1 handed training and has a lot of great training that can be used dry or live fire also does holster training
I’m into aviation and we have a saying. “You can never have too much training.” And the same applies to shooting. Dry fire and live fire, you can’t do it too much. When I dry fire train at home, I always practice these and more:
Draw and shoot from multiple positions two and one handed.
Reloading two and one handed.
Malfunction clearance two and one handed.
Deep retention draw and shoot.
Great video, man.
By the way, another mistake I saw. Never catch an empty magazine. Let it fall and get to the full mag quicker.
You made this video because you are a REAL MAN. You can admit when you are wrong AND try to correct it. I have not watched, but you've gained a sub...
Those snap caps/ dummy rounds are also a great way to practice malfunctions/ stoppages and your tap rack bang actions
For the one handed technique, not only practical for injury but also if you have to hold someone or move something while shooting.
I am FA Instructor for LEO one thing we preach over and over is follow through. I see to many recruits and civilians shot and drop the gun thinking the gun fight is over or have been taught that. That is building a training scar. Stay on target until you know said bad guy is not going to zombie back up. Then reacting again is going to take more time drawing from concealed...time you don't have. Action beats reaction everytime. Stay safe. I enjoy the channel.
Started practicing off hand quite some time back. Good thing too because of a shoulder injury off hand is now the primary at least until when or if the injury can be fixed.
The MantisX has an endurance drill you can do. Have to score at least a 92 to keep shooting and I set it up so I hear a "DING" when I achieve this no matter what I do on the program. Best score I got was about 12 in a row and I made a point to jot down notes about how my body felt while doing that. Before this I had a problem with pushing forward/breaking wrist down (being too much of a wrestler in my fighting stance). Then I relaxed my shoulders a bit and it was like I couldn't miss.
What I do for the flinching, is when finger is on the trigger, I count back wards from 10 and applying pressure until the trigger breaks. Most of the time I get to 6 or 7 and shot goes. It has helped me, but I still flinch occasionally
Another note: when shooting 1 handed, keeping the pistol oriented vertically maybe doesn't best leverage your arms natural muscle leverage. Rotate the pistol, along the axis of the barrel, say 20 degrees CCW for righties, CW for lefties.
one handed is all I shoot all the time, mainly because I only have one good/ working hand/ arm. but, good video made me think about more training is needed for me
Totally agree, carrying isn't supposed to be comfortable but man, it's so nice when you find the right holster haha
Awesome channel dude, down to earth fun to watch.
You do you bro, nobody is perfect. Not even close. but personally, my concealed carry weapon never gets unloaded. The round in the chamber has been in there for a super long time. The only time my weapon is not ready to fire, whether it’s my home defense or conceal carry or back ups is when I go to the range and change out my ammo for fmj or if I’m drawing and dry firing. Other than that, the weapon stays holstered, chambered and ready to kill bad guy(s)
For the flinching thing, there are 2 things that I do, one of which you already addressed (loading a dummy round)... The other thing is getting punched in the face. That one I accomplish through sparring. It's extreme, but then, I'm prepping for an extreme, right?
Getting punched in the face works for the stress thing too, but in lieu of that you can just get your heartrate up (sprinting, jumping jacks, etc etc).
Good tips, but I choose not to top off my mag when loading. Insert 15rd mag load 1 in the chamber. I draw from my holster 15rds, I reload spare mag 15rds, I reload 2nd spare mag 15rds. I train 15rds at a time for consistency. I've been off hand shooting since I started carrying about 20 years ago, and do a lot of dry fire from the holster. Especially since transitioning to optics. Don't have a range available for compromised positions though. Good stuff.
I respect someone who can learn from their mistakes
I have watched 3 of your videos. One thing I suggested is to watch your videos and look for unsafe practices. I don't want to come off as being judging person but I feel I have to speak up. Please know i have been there and had people help me too, so that is where this next part of this is coming from. In the one that you compare all the sig 365 you talk with your hands while holding your gun. When you reload you alway turn you gun to the left. Your gun may be empty but the rule is always assume it's loaded. If you are at a rang I don't know it's empty and now I'm nervous about how you are handling your fire arm. Also because you have this channel you are teaching bad habits. I was made aware of my bad habits from my instructor who I shoot with once a month. Its aways good to have someone else help us be the best we can be. Thanks for all you instuctuons.
Thanks for always sharing everything and stay safe
I've caught myself doing the flench, I try to only focus on the squeeze of trigger, that ready helped. I noticed some people have what I call the double bounce, I'm not exactly sure what causes it, maybe the grip isn't tight enough or the wrist isn't locked up enough, it could be a nerve problem in the hand , not sure ? Some guy's have No bounce at all which is what you want, is must be just general weakness. What do you think is the cause? "Tactical Hive" guy Myles has a pistol series' , on proper technique, he explains the how's and why's of total control for accurate shots Worth watching. You have good ideas on staying toped off . Thanks Man.
Shooting one-handed either hand you can put your other hand on the opposite shoulder to put extra protection to vital areas of the body.
The shells be hitting me most of the time why I flinch
For your first one, I keep a couple of extra mags that I use to load the gun and not have to worry about my current carry mag. I rotate the rounds through various mags until my next range visit, offload and get new ammo until the next visit.
I actually unload my pistol and regularly practice drawing and loading every time I remove my pistol from the safe. I draw and load from mag pouch to practice quick retrieval, and loading. After I load, I top off the mag with an extra round kept close to the stored mag. Then I rotate the stored mag behind the others. I always have a loaded gun on or near me at all times.
I like practicing left hand one and two handed. One thing I also like doing is switching eyeballs for sight picture. Don't have to really move the pistol to the right or my head to the left.
ya great video... I really like the thought or idea for this video and really appreciate the content man. Much respect for actually confronting your own faults or whatever, and just know that I have many of the same training things to work on described lol
One area where I seriously fail is training with my support hand, as well as moving while shooting. Thank you for this video!
It's not even always just about the other arm being injured, sometimes it's just about when you are using one hand you are clearing your cover garment you might not be able to get your support hand up before you have to start shooting.
For practicing fast draw and fire, on you back, off hand, kneeling, moving, etc., get a laser (Mantis or other) dry fire system and practice at home. It costs about 300 rounds of 9mm ammo initially, but if you use it the laser dry fire system the cost will go down to a penny or less per shot. So it's worth it. It is not as good as real bullets where the gun goes Bang and recoils, but it is better than not doing it.
Another way to learn how to shoot under pressure is to participate in action pistol events like IDPA and USPSA/IPSC. There is definitely some anxiety involved when you are having to shoot both accurately and quickly, with a half dozen or more people watching you perform.
So in regards to marksmanship under duress I suggest something that’s commonly referred to as a failure drill. Go to a range with your back turned to the target you will walk forward and whomever is timing you will say a command word prompting you to spin around (whichever direction is dominant) while unholstering your weapon system and you should fire 3 shots ideally your aiming for 2 in the chest 1 in the head. This drill is a random thing which helps you not to anticipate the timing while also allowing you to practice target acquisition and safe firing techniques while also increasing speed. This can also be done sitting on the ground we’re you will spin onto your belly or side while or from a crouched position.
A chambered round in the home or car is generally a concern - maybe not while locked in a safe, but otherwise if in a house or car fire, the chambered round will fire in a potentially undesirable direction. Unchambered, it will not have muzzle velocity to do any damage.
I had to practice my weak-hand competence by shooting 70% weak-handed for four years before I was reasonably ambidextrous. Why? I pocket-carry left-side for two reasons: 1. Allows my right pocket normal edc use, 2. Allows strong-hand grappling close range.
I heard a while ago that storing guns with one in the chamber could be a deadly hazard and a liability in the event of a fire. If that round gets hot enough to go off, and it's semi-auto someone like a firefighter could get hurt or dead.
I still keep guns staged around the house in StopBoxes, with loaded mags only. And my edc is the only one with one in the chamber, even at night next to my bed.
I'd love to know if what I heard is correct or not. For now I'm erring on the side of caution.
It's possible but highly unlikely. Everything comes with some amount or risk. Do you risk having a gun that isn't ready for a fight, or the off chance that a fire will occur, the bullet inside the gun will get hot enough to explode, and a firefighter will be in the path of that bullet? I guess it's your call. I only know of one instance of a firefighter being shot this way, and several where they were injured from unchambered ammunition exploding. I still keep ammo in the house and my fighting guns loaded.
If we're talking self defense shooting, I'd also suggest training shooting from cover/concealment, in addition to lying down and kneeling and sitting etcetera. This will train the shooter to assume a body position with minimal exposure.
Also I recommend training force on force. Good exercise when your targets run around and shoot back at you. In real life threat won't be cooperative, after all. This can be trained doing airsoft, for example. It's not perfect but imo a piece of the puzzle.
I’ve practiced kneeling and crouching for a while now but honestly never on my back .. but I will start .. Thanks Heg
You got it bro. Love the profile pic btw! I'm a huge horror movie fan and specifically 80's slashers.
My ex practiced on her back a lot.
You guys are always great on the info you provide.
Real men and women own up to their mistakes.
Yep

(Watch his head movement, he knows what he did, that's why he talks about him needing Improvement on a clip of him changing his sight picture, alignment, and getting frustrated.)
Ah man, I wouldn't even consider those things mistakes. More like "tips"... tips you could utilize to better your abilities as a shooter. We ALL could take time to improve our skills, no matter how "good" we think we are, nobody's perfect. We all have room for improvement. If somebody says otherwise, then they're probably the ones who need the most work.
Awesome video. Life long learning man!
Practicing with the non-dominant hand is good preparation for normal life injuries, such as a sprained wrist or broken arm. It's also possibly a good idea to have at least one holster for use when your dominant arm is disabled.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for the honesty. Some good tips here.
Hey brother. I like you topping off. I just wanna point out one thing for everyone. From a fire fighter standpoint. If you ever have a fire and this gun gets heated in the fire. With it chambered it becomes dangerous and can fire out and hurt someone vs just ammo not in the chamber. One more thing to consider. Love your insightful content. Helped me a lot. I love my shield plus as well. Great shooting gun. M&P are great. I also just got a Glock too and will see what the future holds for me and it.
A polymer 80 with the advantage arms conversion is a great training tool.
If you have trigger discipline issues, it will show.
Fully loaded, it weighs less than it’s centerfire equivalent without a magazine.
It can humble a good shooter when you stovepipe a 22lr because you flinch or limp wrist it.
It will be good for training because not all 22lr is designed to function semiauto.
The gun can still fire the lower power rounds, but you will have to clear the gun to keep shooting.
So the not fun stuff about 22lr can actually bee a valuable tool for training.
Unlike the g44, using the conversion means the gun is actually compatible with other parts.
Even though ammunition prices are ridiculous, 22lr is still affordable enough to actually get some range time that might be avoided because of cost or availability of centerfire ammunition.
I'm just turned 69, I've been shooting sinc e the age of 10. At the age of 25 I joined a loocal gun club went thr o ugh a basic handgun course, became an NRA certified instructor, began shooting N R A bullseye pistol matches, 'ombat pistol matches, rifle matches and competitive trap. I became a better shooter because I was willing to listen to more experienced competitors. I didn't always take their advice, trying it but the advice may not always work for you. You have to judge for yourself about what helps. Remember you might be shooting against others, but the only one you must always try to beat is yourself. Always try to better your score and ability. Shooting under pressure in competition is good for you.
Laser bore sighter (Amazon $20) makes for great dryfire practice.
Thanks for sharing. I need to practice left handed shooting as well. I guess I could practice shooting dry fire, prone on my back yard. I'd also like more tips on controlling recoil. I shoot 9 mil
I’m right handed and right eye dominant but have trained myself to shoot firearms and cameras with left hand using my left eye. It takes practice but worth the effort! It’s not just if my right side is incapacitated but also being able to shoot from cover on the left side instead of having to step out from cover to shoot right handed!
Just found your chanel and have to say, thanks for these tips. Something I will start practicing.
Honest question - why not just take your concealed carry gun off your waist and put it in the safe inside of the holster? Why remove the magazine in the first place?
Great video ! Much respect it has helped me . Always something we can practice more ,
Under stress what I do is. Now mond you we have fed land in Wyoming. I have friends pop off rounds near me as I focus on target. Another thing you can do is kalestetics work out run to cover 5 rounds into two targets and see your groups under stress from running and working out get the shakes and adrenaline going. You can also compare those shots to an ideal group that your not stressed on and slow shooting. You get those to match as close as possible your good but keep training.
I'm a huge fan of s&w I been carrying them for years just recently I bought a glock 17 gen 3 and a glock 26 gen 3 and I must say I'm not disappointed I still love my s&w tho
True test of a man is to admit when he is wrong.
You make total sense to me. Of all the pistols I own I have 2 that I like carrying better than my favorites. I've been a hunter since I was 12 and I'll be 74 and I still flinch but don't know if I do with my carry guns. Plus IM XARMY PARATROPPER VN VET. Deer hunting has been big help on flinching. I've seen some comments from people that say hunting has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. They're full of sht
Thanks man. Hunting has nothing to do with the 2nd in terms of why it was written. it's not for deer but that doesn't mean fhunting can't help with some fundamentals.
I practice draw, point and shoot. I shoot single-handedly and point the gun at the Target because to me in close in self-defense that's what you going to do.
