Wow ! This guy has that thing under control ! When I shot a .40 that thing had quite the snap but this guy makes it look like a .22... NICE ganna try this at the range asap
The video is about the GUN, not the faces of the instructors. Freaking camera guy is all over the place when he needed to be focusing on the gun and hand placement.
I'm here to watch a SR40 being shot - my next purchase will be a .40 cal. I didn't come here for shooting techniques. That said, after replaying this vid 7 times, Greg from VATA Group is one highly motivated, badass instructor. I may not agree with his flared out elbows technique (gets you killed easily in paintball, which makes you wonder about what rapid fired real bullets would do coming at you), but it's a pure thrill watching a jedi knight of his craft show you how he does it.
@MaximGhost I think the elbows technique might be a technique learned from the compatition shooting arena. It's just a hunch and seems logical. I could be wrong. Compatition shooting, you aren't being shot back at.
Just a great video, I'm using this technique with great success and getting more (deadly consistent) patterns in rapid fire. by the way I get the sweep or scan,,train to fight and fight like you trained,,excellent job. SR40c owner
@mattvanhugenstein You should be banned from watching youtube videos. You have no clue about cjecking for threats prior to holstering. If your not ready to take gun fighting serious take a walk buddy....
@LOMROB You're just a sensative guy arn't ya? Its a beginners recoil demonstration, not a Go To War video, it made me laugh and thats my comment in the comments section : )
I have no clue if Ruger is making a SR45...but that would be a very nice and profitable addition to the SR line. It should have the same mag capacity that of a Glock 21 and XD45 ( 13+1 ) to have good competition.
@mattvanhugenstein - Not sure if you are deserve an answer on such an asstastic post but for anyone else out there who may be curious...
The point of any training is commiting your actions to muscle memory. The point of scanning after you shoot is so that you WILL do it when it counts. The instructor featured is not a sporting weekend type. When he shoots anything he practices as if his life depends on it. In his line of work, it does.
Do you know WHY he did what he did? Are you threatened by his badassery or something? You would be surprised, there are plenty of very humble firearms instructors out there that have nothing but OUR best interests at heart. A happy firearms instructor is one that successfully teaches his students so that they may defend their own lives or the lives of others. Beyond that, if a shooter learns something, the teacher is just as happy even if its only ever used in a sporting capacity...
I love the sr platform, but no compact and no blackened stainless...... i'm actually kinda dissappoinnted. However it does look like a very stable shooter
good vid i have one myself and love it to death, great gun.

@jgrdonquixote Do you always go everywhere with the rest of your team? Must make daily life a bit of a chore...
Hint: stateside, if you don't have back up on call, you rely on just yourself.
Thank you for your service, but keep it into perspective champ.
