Considering you are carrying concealed you may want to give some thought to an appendix carry. Of course that would require a different holster. It is just my opinion [ we all have one ] but I have carried every way imaginable and FOR ME the appendix carry is very fast and does not present a problem when sitting. Bravo on taking responsibility for you and your loved ones. Cheers
I can only see one issue... What if you need to engage a threat with your left hand? mugger with a knife.. I usualy try to keep a left/right hand draw a left/right hand only movement. I have to admit though, If I saw you on the street (before I watched the vid) I would never know you were carrying.
hopefully all that muscle memory of drawing, firing and racking the slide wont mess you up... lol you end up using it in a real life situation and end up wasting a round because you racked the slide.. that would suck
Good vid Reg,,hey,,Tex Grebner shot himself with a 1911, not a Glock.
Search: I shot myself! Original Upload! ..here to see the vid.
Your Glock is a better quick draw gun because of the trigger pull safety,,,it's all safe till you actually pull the trigger,,,keep your Glock always, it's a great gun....!,,,,,,Glenn
@jodopeg a 1911 isn't safe with the safety off it you dont pull the trigger? you think somehow a glock is safer becasue of the trigger safety then a 1911? The trigger safety was not designed to really be a "safety" it was put there for liability reasons if the gun was dropped inertia couldn't "pull" the trigger when it hit the ground. The "trigger safety" adds about as much "safety" to a pistol as the "lawyer lock" does on a S&W revolver. Just my 2 cents at least :)
@TheVert1276 ,,,yeah, but the Glock returns to half cocked after each shot, you must pull the trigger back a bit each time,in a semi-double action of sort.
The 1911 just needs a slight tug when cocked and the safety off, even by mistake the safety block can be switched off as in Tex's vid.
I think the Glock pistols are one of the most innovative guns in history.
You have an almost 2 second draw time. That isnt gonna cut it. You need to have a draw+fire time that is 1 sec or less.
For starters, why the whole 2 handed using sights to aim. You should have a natural point of aim with a gun you are comfortable with and have the ability to hit a human sized target without actually looking down the sights. Use your follow up shots to actually aim. That initial shot will establish dominance in the fire fight, even if you miss but you shouldn't.
I know it may sound crazy to shoot all cowboy on the draw. But even if you use your 2 handed aim technique, That is a minimum of 1 free shot a full second faster that is delivered during the draw. That initial shot will cause your target to "shit their pants" per se and get rushed, fumble, or have an automatic defensive (knee jerk) response that will interrupt their draw/shot. Also dodging during the draw to their weaker side, will cause their initial unaimed shot to more likely miss.
Dodging will also add to the time your opponent needs to acquire you in their sights as you are a moving target. If everyone misses or survives, you are already in motion to obtain cover with momentum. Think about a target that immediately upon drawing jumps to one side. Now your brain has to do the math and judge the adjustment of the shot, adding to the difficulty of scoring a hit and increasing firing time.
@Mastinox803 Well something worth mentioning is that some people train for reactive shooting, basically from the hip sort of thing, just instinctively pointing and firing and getting used to the trajectory and what not, rather than bringing the full fight picture up to your face and lining up the sights on target, you can get really good at medium ranges training like that and it helps develop a feel, it can help when youre firing while moving and dont have a good sight
Just a tip, to keep your firing pin in good shape...get some 'snap caps' they're fake bullets with a silicone insert to keep the firing pin from getting damaged. ;-)
i seriously love this guy. he is extremely intelligent and he just gets it when it comes to politics. and he supports the second amendment, THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT AMENDMENT WE HAVE! God Bless!
i have the same gun and the last thing i would do is train in such a manner - in a real situation - some would carry out the same motions and do exactly as i said - under stress a man will fall back on training -what ever that is
demcad - why do you pull back the slide after every draw - before you put the gun back into the holster - thats a bad practice that would cause you to dump a fresh round by force of habit - that is oly usefull when clearing a un-ejected round or clearing a misfire
@cassanoa I'm sure it's b/c the point of the exercise is the draw, and to train his trigger finger not to squeeze the trigger in the draw moment. To do that he has to de-cock the slide so the handgun is dry fire ready. If the gun was hot there's obviously no point in, and no need to do that. I do the same when I practice.
This reminds me of when I practiced quick aiming with my old Remington .22 rifle. I practiced a lot getting a quick aim technique in my bedroom; it paid off because the first time I went out with friends to this guy's farm, and he threw tin cans up in the air, I was able to actually hit many of them on the first try! Bottom line: practice pays off!
upon defeating the initial threat move weapon to the ready and asses surroundings for additional threats prior to reholstering.but looks like sound technique and pretty fast,maybe practice from seated to standing and seated draw like carjacking situation.
All those practice draws has you Facing in the direction you were going to shoot. Do you practice for if something is happening behind you or to the side?
It's good to practice drawing and dry firing. But! practice like you would if you were engaging a threat. Identify, draw, engage, assess the known threat (i.e. what or who you just engaged) and scan for other threats before holstering your weapon. If you practice the wrong way that's how you will react when it really hits the fan.
Hey Reginald ... subscribe to Paul Gomez' channel. he's one of the best instructors out there, and you can learn a lot just from his videos. Of course, you neeeeeeed professional training, but you know that. You are doing what you can with what you have, and nobody can fault that.
DO NOT pull the trigger when you are draw practicing you will fire the gun when you are under stress in a real situation. Draw practice OR shoot at the range do not do both you will shoot by accident.
Great vid. Going to the thing of it all: the brain and it's neuropathways are very diverse in its wiring; consequently, however, motor pathways are also dependent on consistency. In real terms: make sure you train with your system, and make sure your gun/knife/weapon is in the same place all the time, everytime.
go to ruger tactical tips on youtube, and watch all dave spaldings videos, that will help you alot. your doing good. keep up the tranining, it will come naturally to you after a bit. if you are worried about the trigger pull when you draw, try the israeli style draw and then pull the slide back as you get on target. it's what ever works for you.
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I'm impressed with the work and effort you put into doing things right. You have turned your self into a force to be reckoned with, keep up the good work.
what you should take into consideration is maybe finding cover beofer even drawing you gun. dont get me wrong, it is good to be proficient at quick draw, but also think about laternative situations.
@njrockhead your right. Guns need to be concealed. Can't be letting people you have a gun in public, or people be labeling you a terrorist. sort of like that boy who brung a Airsoft to school but got shot to death by police.
Looks like your doing well with it. Only thing I see is, why rack the slide at the end? If you practicing shooting til empty then do it with a mag too. Move shirt, draw weapon,shoot,drop mag, insert new mag, and then rack slide. Id also practice clearing jams. I remember one where you drop to a knee and hit slide with the bottom of your shoe. (stuck slide due to jam). Its been awhile since my CCW class lol. Hell, think I will practice too lol. Goodluck Dem!
@DEMCAD I just tried to subscribe, but he's closed his account! bummer, I was looking forward to the 100GB! . . . btw, if you know how to use bittorrent, there are lots of military training manuals available for everything from basic firearms to advanced sniping. look them up on the pirate bay.
When practicing your draw, try yelling "fuck you asshole" while using your left hand to flip the bird. I find this is good to practice so that you automatically look like a bad ass if you have to defend yourself. Maybe try out " off my goodies!" or "stranger danger!" just in case. Try blowing your rape whistle. This will shock your assailant and allow you to gain the upper hand. Remember: protect your ass at all times.
Get rid of that dam type holster because if you really need to use that gun all that shit you saying about training goes out the window, i shot IDPA and saw a guy shot himself in the leg using that same holster!!
I'm not a big fan of Glock for that and you can't shoot cast bullets in them. If they'd put a thumb safety on the side, I'd own one. Not bad mouthing Glocks they're great, but just like to have another safety on it.
It it great to practice. I think you need to practice finding your point of aim with your strong hand instead of two. I recently took a personal protection class and my instructor taught me to use one hand to fire my pistol.
You can take classes reasonably cheap. Find a local NRA instructor. I want to start taking the marksmanship classes. It is fun and the trainging will come in handy.
@DEMCAD I said I wasn't bad mouthing Glocks in my comment. You brought up the guy shooting himself in the leg. I guess there's a lot of insecure Glock owners out there. That's ok, I'll unsub I'd hate to PO anyone else here...
@mdr8088 no matter how many safties a gun has on it(a Glock has 3) an idiot will always screw up. if you feel that you wouldnt handle a Glock because it doesnt have a 'safety' then you are probly one of those types. no matter what type of gun your are holding, you trigger finger is always your most important safety. a Glock cannot and will not fire UNLESS the trigger is pulled, if you dont fully understand the way a glock works, look it up, its very simple actually.
@hashashin821 Did you see the vid where the guy shot down through his leg? I'm sure he did that the other 10,000 times he drew. There's always that one time....
@mdr8088 I shoot the hell out of cast bullets in my Glock. And my XD. Hell,all of my handguns! Whoever told you that cast bullets cant be thrown down a Glock barrel was full of shit! The owners manual says no reloads because they don't accept liability for idiots.
i put a trigger safty on my 45 glock - its a straight replacement and there is a slide switch to push so the trigger can be pulled back - its called a " SIDERLOCK "
Good stuff, as usual Dem. I have the same holster for my Glock 21; retention holsters have their uses but take practice to employ properly. Your 4 steps to bring the weapon into battery could work for others.
@Flayvaflav1 Bullet proof vest are extremely hot, costly and have only a 5 year shelf life on average. Being that uncomfortable most people would end up not wearing them anyway. I'd say invest in other prep areas.
My comment would be to draw quickly but don't be in a hurry to reholster. Always scan and assess before re holstering (sp). A great place to learn pistol is Magpul's Dynamic Handgun. I love their videos.
Only morons like YankeeSPEARS promotes "keep your finger on the trigger"...BUT of course that pussy has taken all his "preppin" vids down....just in time for all the new legislation.
TRAIN MILITARY SOP...and that is "muscle memory"..so you don't "keep your finger on the trigger".
Drawing a gun for self defense will work when your attacker is still 15 to 20 yards away from you. Any closer, and you will both be struggling for the gun. Take some aikido classes instead.
@runningwolf1980 Explain what you're talking about. I think golf is the most stupid thing ever between the cost involved, what it does to your back, the frustration EVERYONE that does it goes through and yes EVERYONE does, but if someone wants to do it it's none of my business to tell them different. And just because something is a conspiracy theory doesn't mean it's not true.
You might want to pretend someone is coming after you from close... Then face the left side of your body towards your target... Then only using your right hand draw your glock and practice like that. It will buy you time and space to draw but you need to train with your right hand only
Zombie Tactics just did a great video on some of the myths of drawing and "gun fighting". It might help keep things in perspective when you're training. Keep up the great work!
look up these 2 videos on youtube and click on the first vid that comes up. Travis Haley on Handgun Grip then look up Quick Tip: The Draw • Magpul Dynamics. Demcad start slow no cover jacket yet work on the motion of the draw, your grip on the gun, and acquiring your sites first then integrate a concealed carry garment and practice.
Also, you may wanna practice, while wearing a jacket and your cold weather gear as well. Sweep your jacket back with your draw hand then grab your pistol and draw.
Hey demcad, I want your opinion rep. justin amsh from michigan. his voting record might be more libertarian than ron paul. he is only 31 yrs old i think.look up his bio if your not familiar with him. do it do it do it do it!
im really looking forward to the day when shit hits the van in america and you fat bastards are going shoot each others socks off for bottle of water and some food. You americans are just waiting for the opportunity to shoot eachother.
@erdal0 That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Sadly, in this country, people feel like they need to be armed because everyone else is. America is a very dangerous place in some cities. Attacking us and calling us fat bastards is just immature and you should really take a look at your self in the mirror and think about if you are acting the way you should be. Before you go off, I don't own a gun and I don't like guns but I defend the right for people to own them if the constitution allows.
@erdal0 You actually looked in the mirror because someone on YouTube told you to? Are you fucking retarded? Your just the right kind of sheep the government wants, you even take orders from random people. :) lolumad
@PortimusPrime I had to take a shower that is why I walked pas the mirror. I felt dirty after I spoke to you. You are so dumb and fat. People like you and your kind should never get guns. If something happens you guys will panic and shoot each other. You all looking for an opportunity to shoot .
Cute video, I also received another one this morning about Europe and deaths, but I could not view it...says it was removed. Thank u for all that u do for prepping helping others, God Bless u and your family !
Don't you find the weight of you sidearm to be very distracting? I have a Ruger SR9 as well as a Taurus PT22 and both pull down my pants. Any suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong?
Reg, stop pulling the slide back every time. pause, breath, put the weapon in the other hand then pull the slide. You are programming a very dangerous move into your body.
Obvious solution = don't wait to put yourself in a situation where a quick draw is necessary. In a SHTF situation, I'd have my gun out in hand 24/7.
Like when my mother-in-law used to visit -- I didn't wait for her to start being annoying before I went into the bomb shelter. I went into the bomb shelter as soon as I heard she was due for a visit.
Fat boy, I can see you stopped hitting that stand up bag you bought its in the corner behind stuff. I can't take you that serious when it comes to situations like this demcad. Your good at delievering news but Your so darn fat so it's hard to believe you'd actually be a threat to someone tryna take your stuff
@TAYSEXTREMEPITBULLS Have you ever considered freeze dried or dehydrated foods? It's my understanding that without liquid, especially high acid liquid, there is no BPA leaching.
Reg, One thing that I have found to be priceless is a high quality air soft replica of my carry weapon.I also carry a Glock and found a good gas operated Chinese replica for about $100. It fires in semi auto and the ergonomics and trigger pull are almost identical. I can practice my draw and shoot in the basement with a timer, and also conduct force on force scenario training with LEO's and other CCW holders. Force on force training opens your eyes to how fast things go down.
@4realru depends on the gun. All of my pistols manuals say they can be dry fired without damage. Plus doing what DEMCAD is doing is perfect for trigger control practice. Just look at you manual and see what the mfg says. I don't own Glocks, but knowing DEMCAD he knows what his pistol can/can't do. So to answer your post, it depends on the gun.
Reg, your main priority should be to lose weight... about 30-40 lbs. I know you are in your late 20's, but that weight is going to slow you down considerably as you age.
Tex Grebner is the guy who shot himself. He claims it was due to hitting the thumb drive on his 511 holster that disengaged his safety but some how his finger got in the trigger. Those Serpa holsters have a bad reputation and are banned on the two ranges I shoot at. I went with the Blackhawk Leather Pancake holster for my glock. The thumb break works great and it is a high rise position. I love it
@a10fjet Go watch his CCW class videos. DEMCAD knows what he needs to do. You font see him practicing putting his body behind an object such as a wall, car or tree, but he knows when to use it. I'm pretty sure he's getting use to his new holster so it becomes almost a part of his body and some odd object. The crunches...I'll take the cap'n crunch. LOL
okay john wayne. You use one hand and turn your body perpendicular to your target. Makes a smaller target for the enemy to shoot. Maybe you should do some crunches too...
Often during stressfull encounters where you will have to use your handgun, your body will go through a very odd reaction. Often you will lose your hearing and develop tunnel vision. This can occur in any highly stressfull unexpected event. It has been documented in police shootings and fires. The bodies normal reaction is to stop when this occurs and feint or become dissassociated. To simulate this you could start playing some very loud music and tape some 3x5 cards on your glasses.
I'm not a quick draw kind of gun owner. I may regret that at some time, but it's just not for me. As far as comments and suggestions I just LOVE that you don't block comments! While I know you doont feed trolls, many of your supporters put them in their place and it cracks me up. The only suggestion I have is replace that pink toilet seat and have at it with your shotgun. LOL
Not bad, but there is no need to use your left hand at all. You could speed up the entire motion considerably by thumb sweeping (lifting) the sweatshirt upwards as you're reaching for the weapon... all in one fluid motion.
are you using a snap cap when you do all tht dry firing?? you should also practice during normal activities during the day to see how you react in other cloths an other states of mind. an as almanacaa said below you wont be holding it like tht if there right next to you!
@killerofchoa huh??? lol i use the burgundy in color snap caps. i know some say you dont need them some say you do i use them when im testing the machinery but most if not all of my practice is in the feild so its all live ammo!
whats up video for across the pond isnt showing up ????? if it was real thing you shouldnt telegraph what your doing to the other person , but if its a quick draw thing then i guess its ok
what do you know about open carry in michigan ?????
If the intruder is close you will shoot from the hip. Demcad you are taking a pistol stance for a far shot. Watch some vids on where you want your gun in proportion to the distance the intruder is to you.
Not knowing if you've ever been to a public range or not, so I'll mention this. When you're at a public range (indoors), take notice of all the holes in the range. In the ceiling above you, the walls on either side, and even the wall behind. You may be safe, but those holes got there somehow. I do not go to public ranges, just saying..
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast... Bring the weapon straight up from the holster and then push straight out. Be deliberate in each step of the draw... You're doing good. Just pull the weapon straight up and then rotate 90 degrees and push straight out... Slow down and smooth out each step...
hey dem as soon as the gun leaves the holster, begin pointing the gun towards the target holding it close to your body bring the gun up and then aim. If a person is charging you they can close fast .If you use this method you can fire at someone as soon as the gun leaves the holster.You may not always have time to do a full draw and aim.
@firefly19731212 skeet, well it dosent translate into pistol very well. though pistol translates into rifle fairly well. the speed of recoil and the slow ballistics of shotgun only translate into shotgun. speaking of shotgun im going to go see what animals are in season.
Reginald, if your going to use a Glock with the SERPA holster you'd best learn the Isreali Distinctive Shooting method. That's the safest form with that holster and weapon combination. Actually any combination. Especially when under duress. No matter how much you train/practice, Murphy is always going to try to screw with ya and it could be the difference between life and death.
Is that how you carry the 21? would think it would no be considered concealed?

Looks like your doing well with it. Only thing I see is, why rack the slide at the end? If you practicing shooting til empty then do it with a mag too. Move shirt, draw weapon,shoot,drop mag, insert new mag, and then rack slide. Id also practice clearing jams. I remember one where you drop to a knee and hit slide with the bottom of your shoe. (stuck slide due to jam). Its been awhile since my CCW class lol. Hell, think I will practice too lol. Goodluck Dem!

When practicing your draw, try yelling "fuck you asshole" while using your left hand to flip the bird. I find this is good to practice so that you automatically look like a bad ass if you have to defend yourself. Maybe try out " off my goodies!" or "stranger danger!" just in case. Try blowing your rape whistle. This will shock your assailant and allow you to gain the upper hand. Remember: protect your ass at all times.

I'm not a big fan of Glock for that and you can't shoot cast bullets in them. If they'd put a thumb safety on the side, I'd own one. Not bad mouthing Glocks they're great, but just like to have another safety on it.

@DEMCAD
It it great to practice. I think you need to practice finding your point of aim with your strong hand instead of two. I recently took a personal protection class and my instructor taught me to use one hand to fire my pistol.
You can take classes reasonably cheap. Find a local NRA instructor. I want to start taking the marksmanship classes. It is fun and the trainging will come in handy.

@mdr8088 no matter how many safties a gun has on it(a Glock has 3) an idiot will always screw up. if you feel that you wouldnt handle a Glock because it doesnt have a 'safety' then you are probly one of those types. no matter what type of gun your are holding, you trigger finger is always your most important safety. a Glock cannot and will not fire UNLESS the trigger is pulled, if you dont fully understand the way a glock works, look it up, its very simple actually.

You might want to pretend someone is coming after you from close... Then face the left side of your body towards your target... Then only using your right hand draw your glock and practice like that. It will buy you time and space to draw but you need to train with your right hand only

Reg, One thing that I have found to be priceless is a high quality air soft replica of my carry weapon.I also carry a Glock and found a good gas operated Chinese replica for about $100. It fires in semi auto and the ergonomics and trigger pull are almost identical. I can practice my draw and shoot in the basement with a timer, and also conduct force on force scenario training with LEO's and other CCW holders. Force on force training opens your eyes to how fast things go down.

@4realru depends on the gun. All of my pistols manuals say they can be dry fired without damage. Plus doing what DEMCAD is doing is perfect for trigger control practice. Just look at you manual and see what the mfg says. I don't own Glocks, but knowing DEMCAD he knows what his pistol can/can't do. So to answer your post, it depends on the gun.

Tex Grebner is the guy who shot himself. He claims it was due to hitting the thumb drive on his 511 holster that disengaged his safety but some how his finger got in the trigger. Those Serpa holsters have a bad reputation and are banned on the two ranges I shoot at. I went with the Blackhawk Leather Pancake holster for my glock. The thumb break works great and it is a high rise position. I love it

Often during stressfull encounters where you will have to use your handgun, your body will go through a very odd reaction. Often you will lose your hearing and develop tunnel vision. This can occur in any highly stressfull unexpected event. It has been documented in police shootings and fires. The bodies normal reaction is to stop when this occurs and feint or become dissassociated. To simulate this you could start playing some very loud music and tape some 3x5 cards on your glasses.
