  • What a great way to practice. Gonna get hubby to do this with me.

  • I see a day in the future when a little LimaLIfe will be practicing along side Mr. and Mrs. Limalife.:)

  • You guys live in an open-carry state?

  • LOLOL! Aw! Baby felt left out at the end. lolol Love you guys and love this video!!!

  • very nice drill... i'm no expert, but i think the lady's aim is a little to her right... she doesn't have a good balance... and she over extends her arms, which probably the reason why she leans a little too forward... very impressive though... 5stars!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Very nice drill - never thought of using the microwave timer but I'll do that myself sometime. Wondering if your 1911's are condition 1 for the drill - if so it would be good to put disengaging the safety and dryfiring (with snap caps of course) in the drill...very cool vid - and cute baby

  • this is such a weird video and I think no explanation is necessary 

  • I like the video! After viewing it yourself. You may have discovered. That you are bending and leaning forward before drawing your gun. Try drawing the gun before bending and leaning forward. You may discover your movement is throwing you off in grabbing your gun. This may also increase your speed as well. Keep up the great videos.

  • You are both cool,I wish my wife is also a gun enthusiast,but she is not,anyway she supports my hobby.

  • A family that draws together........

  • dont worry lima! you are much more faster! allways!

    

  • This was really fun to watch!!

  • Lol...my daughter hates when my wife and I hug to:) she's 16 months.

  • Oh Oh, ass grabin at 5:24

  • After watching this video I noticed women may have advantage being a smaller target.

  • You guys need to Google "CED 7000" they make a really nice shot timer.

  • You guys need to Google "CED 7000" they make a really nice shot time.

  • A woman belongs in the kitchen... Practicing her draw with her 1911!!!

    LL FTW!!!

  • Lol. I love it. You guys are the ideal gun enthusiast couple. Cant beat practicing your draw together in the kitchen using a microwave timer!

  • its like mr and mrs smith

  • just a quick remark on your position from a absolute noob and absolutlely un-knowledgeable person about guns . i noticed you are making a C when positioning for fire or when drawing. wouldn't that be a bit unstable considering you may have to fire several times and absorb the recoil ? i guess my questions wouldn't moving your foot (either one ) back or taking a step forward or something be more stable ? i will repeat tho absolute noob here! :-)

  • @romeoneverdies It's called the isosceles stance, based on what people tend to do when under stress, like a defense gunfight. You hunker down, lean forward and hold your arms out.

  • lol The guy looks like C. K. Louis. Good stuff!! haha

  • She seems knowledgeable however, the 1911 weapons system may not be for her.

  • omg i swear the girl looks like fucking sarah palin

  • Lol you guys are a trip!! Good fun.

  • Its great to see couples doing this sort of thing. My wife is about to get into it, and it is a great piece of mind for a guy that your wife has a chance to defend herself in a bad situation. Why be defenseless? People need to remember 99% of the work owning a gun is everything about it, handling it and handling its malfunctions, before breaking the shot.

  • LOL! Now you made me want to go cook a Hot Pocket!

  • 5:10 epic bang :) nice arse smack =)

  • kudos to both of you i've seen cops draw slower then that so great way to practice

  • I think it's so great that both of you practice together and enjoy it. We need more couples doing things like this in my opinion.

    Thanks for the video and stay safe.

  • lol at the baby crying at the end, jealous little kid.

  • If you look at the video you will notice that the speed to target, after clearing the holster, is where the major slow down is. The gun is too heavy for your wrist strength to bring it up to target. Work out some, or use a lighter gun. I really enjoy all your videos. Thanks for posting them.

  • At the 1:26 draw, you totally knew the beep was coming and cheated your hand upward before your husband. Shame on you.

  • tuutuu chuu chuu chuuchachuu alright Readyyyyyy....... BAM guy shoots me and woman dies. second time AHHH retreat!!!! 5th time My God u can do that soo many times in a row ehh? 6th time i think u failed... dont feel bad i dont have a gun. wish i could get a glock 26 or 19... maybe 22.. bit of a beginner though. and broke soo i cant afford self defense haha.

  • Guys, this is lovely. :)

  • Is it proper for women to lean forward when they draw? I think leaning into the gun is the best technique that I know of, but I just want to ask.

  • Creative use for a microwave.

  • IT WAS FUNNY AND IT LOOKED LIKE FUN HA HAHA HA.

  • Lucky man!

  • hahaha, u guys are cute xD

  • Ive heard a couple horror stories about the Serpa holster. Pressing the release button and then accidentally pulling the trigger when it comes out. Again, I've heard about them, but never seen it happen.

  • @darkstararmory There's no way for the retention to activate the trigger on a Serpa, those stories are just urban legends. Now the potential for the release to get gummed up with stuff and not let you draw your pistol is very real if you go to the ground outdoors.

  • @Drog007 So you would rather use a thumb break holster? This is important to me cause I'm going LE soon and I really would like to take out my handgun when I need to. I was considering the SERPA system. but now....kinda iffy

  • @darkstararmory Depends on the environment. No one piece of gear is ever ALWAYS better than everything else. If you're wearing a serpa concealment with a suit jacket chances are you aren't going to get it gummed up with anything and it will likely work great for you. If you anticipate rolling around on the ground with it unprotected, then a thumb break is probably going to be a better bet for you. Just my .02.

  • Ha ha, your baby was trying to press the buttons on the microwave.

    Why does everyone safety check guns with their little finger? Why not use your index finger? Maybe I'm just strange and would safety check a gun with my index finger.

  • @Delta094204 Some people check with their little finger because it's the only one that they can really fit far into the chamber to do a good check. Like my husband. He has big fingers and can't really fit an index finger deep into the chamber for a thorough check.. Me? I could use my thumb if I wanted to...lol

  • they look like videogame characters when they are line up :p

  • What you need are some blowback airsoft guns for indoor practice, set up some targets, practice drawing and running the range... show your husband just how good you are. Not as fun as shooting the real thing, but it beats just sitting in front of the tv because the range is soaking wet or under 3 feet of snow. Great to see both of you sharing something that is fun but also life saving. He is a lucky man.

  • Lima, have you ever thought about a thigh holster...or maybe a cross draw...watching you I think you might feel more comfortable with it...and I have found that comfort is the key...to being proficient...at least that I have been taught...

    All in all, it looks like you two spend QUALITY time together....and sweet kid...too..

    E1

  • It's not a race. Well... ok ... it could be a race. Slow is smooth- smooth is fast. You just have to be "smooth enough to win.

  • had same problem when i went to a Serpa, kept forgetting i had a button to push ;)

    kinda like trying to draw an old Colt SAA with the hammer thong still on ;)

  • LOL! Here's what I loved... when mommy and daddy practice drawing guns (usually associated with a sign of aggression.) kid chuckles gleefully.

    However...when mom and dad shows a sign of affection and starts kissing..kid goes "buuuuuuuAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! xO" made me chuckle XD

  • This made me laugh. Nothing like typical Americans practicing drawing from their holsters in their kitchen. Awesome video. Now that you have drawn me to your channel with the SERPA holster, now I am forced to watch all your other vids!

  • What's up with the ass grab? James Bond wanna be. LOL, not.

  • So THIS is how babies are made.

  • Does she have a sister?

  • Lucky, lucky guy. Where did he find you, so I can start hanging out there.

  • Great video!!! I just subscribed to your videos and heard you mention you were joining the Marine Corps reserve.... Congrats & Semper Fi! I was a CQB instructor in the Marine Corps and remember bring the pistol to your eye, don't slouch to the pistol. Sorry somethings are hard to break!

    Say hello to Paris Island for me!! (Kill a few sand fleas for me, those evil bastards! LOL!)

  • haha if anyone would attack you two he would be dead in seconds^^

  • You two are cute. :-)

  • why is everybody showing that no round is in the chamber?

  • @Kingjeffkoch part safety procedure, part philosophy. You always checks to see that the gun is empty, and they show that to us to demonstrate that safety and lead by example. Its a good habit.

  • @Kingjeffkoch

    to show that not all gun owners are redneck retards & that some people actually care about safety of self and other

    ps: sorry rednecks just had to make a point no offense taken i hope

  • @romeoneverdies Yeah , but i think it's self evident that a gun isn't loaded for practicing non-shoot stuff. I mean who the fuck do something like that with a loaded weapon???

  • You three make an adorable family. My fiancée is getting her first gun soon and next we'll be going on a date to get our CCW permits together.

    This was a great idea. I think I'll try a whistle, to simplify the sound cue (so there's only one "beep"). I think that would be more impulsive.

  • date night ? In socks ?

    LOL.........funny....the wife wants a handgun now....Ill let her watch your vids

  • xD LOL cool idea for this self made timer

  • This holster can wear out your guns finish around the trigger guard and ossibly other places so be careful if its a new gun i hope thats not the wilson combat on the serpa!

  • @Tube99U

    If its a carry gun, I doubt they care. My guns are all carry guns, they all have wear and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Besides, ugly guns get to have the fun when the pretty ones are home in the safe.

  • lol the kid was cockblocking him

  • You guys are an inspiration to all...

  • five stars for the microwave timer!!!!

  • @tacticalfixation: oh yeah^^ lovin it!

  • a great study in economy of motion is percussion, changing quickly from one instrument to another, and playing the instruments requires it too. If you ever get the chance to watch a percussion ensemble concert, you will learn a lot.

  • Get a room you two!

    Looks like good family fun. Nice to see some vids with Mr. Lima in there. I figured you just had him out working 6 jobs so he could keep you stocked with Wilsons and Baers! :0)

  • Loved the end... our son is the same way!

  • "that was the start" !! XD

  • That is hilarious. In a good way! 8)

    Can you do the same drill for concealed holster draw? That is actually a good Idea for couples to get training in and spend quality time with each other.

  • I know how you can increase the speed of your draw. If you watch your body kinetics, you bend your knees and hunch your shoulders as you are drawing. This takes time, adds an unnecessary step and as an unrelated consequence, puts you off balance. As a physicist and a martial arts instructor, I try to train this motion out of people when they train to fight. Eliminating unnecessary movement will increase your draw speed considerably.

    Just something to think about.

  • I would like to have seen this video using concealing garments.

  • Every time I watch this video, I get such a good feeling, you kids have a good life!

  • Great stuff. Keep it up :)

  • Mom and Dad having good clean fun practicing with their guns ... the little man having fun watching Mommy and Daddy be silly ... and Mommy and Daddy showing how much they love each other! SWEEEEET! Nice video Lima! 5 of 5!

  • LOL... only Lima can draw a weapon while SMILING at her target... :D hahahahaha. :)

    Hope you two had a killer Valentine's Day. Not literally. I mean... uh... never mind. :D hahahah

  • HAHAHAHA... You very genuinely made me laugh with this comment. My own mother said I would confuse anyone I ever had to pull a gun on because they'd still be wondering what this sweet, gentle woman is doing with a gun.

  • lol... I hear ya, Lima! Then again... ya know what I've found over the years??

    On a serious note... the "toughest" people... are also among the most gentle, the most sincere, the most caring. Because they truly understand what it means "to do harm". Whereas others believe they know what it means via movies or other unreal things.

    So, thanks for the continued vids. Your husband & you make me honestly consider the importance of protecting my fiancee'... and myself!  Just in case... :)

  • Great video. I bet you guys have a ton of fun together. Great stuff. Exemplary American family!

  • Adorable couple! Great video!

  • The side view is funny. Looks like the security guard from Ernist goes to Jail. "Bobby if you please!" hehe.. lean so far forward!

  • 5 stars for microwave. Or makeout at the end, not sure. ;)

  • the makeout plus stealing the childs mom :D

  • I do the same thing, minus the microwave.....great idea by the way.

    I do however incorporate a mag change

    draw, mag drop, reload from mag carrier, reholster.

    A family that trains together stays together.....:)

  • the level2 is my range/match holster, luv it, one you get used to it, it just feels natural to have your finger on the lock when drawing. you'll draw fast and smooth in no time. :)

  • I might also add that it can also use the mic on your iPhone to act as a shot indicator. So it will actually time how fast after the first beep if took for you to take a shot. It's really fun if your with friends because you can see who the fastest shot is...Then you can do speed/accuracy tests.

  • If you have an iPhone theres actually an app that's called shot-timer you can download. You can set it so the beep is random, or so that it beeps at a set time everytime. You can also set a par time where it basically beeps again after a specified time (user designated) to time other drills such as speed reloads. So the first beep would be pulling out the gun and dry firing it, and then before the next beep you would perform a speed reload. I have my time to 1 1/2 seconds from beep to beep.

  • That is a neat way to practice, but I would have an irresistible urge to draw my gun every time the microwave beeped.

  • I love you guys

  • Awesome video Lima. Both of you are great at this.

  • I thought you were blazing fast at 4:44. Distracted and all. You turned to face the imaginary opponent, pull, click goes the safety.

    Good times.

  • I have a Springfield xd subcompact 40 3".

    I'm looking for good CC holster. I'm looking at iwb or high ride owb. It looks like owb would be more comfortable. Was looking at tt gunleather or Rusty Sherrick high ride. What would u suggest?

  • nice way to practice nice lil family u have there

  • It's great the whole family gets to have fun doing this together.

    My wife is remarkably tolerant of all my firearms considering she could care less about them personally. However drawing practice does freak her out so I'm relegated to doing it by myself in the basement (woah, that sounded really bad!).

  • You guys seem like a nice family.

  • Awesome!! When you guys set the timer, you can set it for three times at once. Just hit "Time" "Start" (desired time) then hit "Time" (desired time[considering the time it takes to re-holster]) then "Time" and (desired time[considering the time it takes to re-holster]) . Most microwaves allow three different times.

  • I can tell that your husband's Marine training prepared him for you! :-)

    "The family that draws weapons together stays together."

  • One of the biggest things I've noticed about the SERPA holster is that those who are used to straight drawing (either from a retention holster or not) have trouble with the button release. With the same amount of upward pressure that you'd exert drawing from a thumbbreak holster, there's too much pressure on the button and it won't release. I've seen several law enforcement officers struggle with this. It can be corrected, but like everything else, it takes time to train it out of you!

  • Cracked me up to watch you guys. Great stuff.

  • how do you conceal the 45? You'd have to wear some big coats.

  • I use an Inside the Waist Band holster for when I'm covering it up with just a shirt (summer) and a small of back for the winter (which then only requires a jacket that isn't tight).

    I'm a big guy though (tall not wide) which I think makes it easier since most of my clothes end up being loose fitting by default.

  • 1. Weeks down the road, you wonder why the microwave breaks...

    2. I can't believe your kid is such a **** blocker...

    Great Video! 5 Stars

  • I love the look on your face everytime you draw! I wouldn't know how to react if I was an attacker.

  • this video made me laugh a bunch of times im not sure why but im still chuckaling :)

  • Haha you guys are great.

  • nice, you two are matched

  • Limalifes arms and hands seem to be longer than her husbands, this is why she has to arch her back and slide her right leg back to clear the holster, which is fine because she just transitions into her lower firing stance, he has shorter arms and narrow hips which let's him place the gun differently on his hip awesome vid 5/5!!

  • Wow first I thought it was going to be a cooking vid Than I thought it was a shooting vid Than I thought it was going to be a sex vid But it turned out to be a child care vid-- You Guys

  • LOL, Get a room!! LOL

  • One thing I found kinda weird is how arched your back is in your draw stance is vs. your husbands fairly straight stance.

  • By far one of the most entertaining videos on youtube.

    Also, I really like the SOUND of the positive lockup of the SERPA. You may have just spent some of my money!

  • good training!!! litl bit about your lags stand remember thet shape more stabile!? it is a piramide! bekose its triangle. and one more but off topik. to known about your chaild behaver in the end of the video, reed a Freids books (i em 2 yare full time student of psychology study program. (its just to known thet i not by my salf sad thet)

  • You guys are beyond cute, Nice use of the microwave! I also liked the ending, LOL.

  • Beautiful. Every gun-hater should watch this video. We are regular people. Most idiots can't wrap their brains around this idea.

  • @NoSavageNation you're absolutely right. My wife and I watched this together and it was like seeing ourselves. Beautiful. Down to earth. Patriotic Americans.

  • You need to practice drawing from a completely concealed position; that is where the problems will show up.

  • Your kid is so cute. My daughter does the same thing. Sometimes she will actually shake her finger at my husband and say "No, No Daddy" if he tries to kiss me.

  • Awesome! And I learned a new use for my microwave, too!

  • lol yall r cute

  • haha great vid, your son looks like he's having fun!

  • Great vid 5stars

  • Goofballs, great vid.

  • Kick ass with a twist of love and humor (:

  • great video!

    (I love the ending)

  • She scrunches down into a smaller target when she draws. lol

    Practice Practice Practice. Good stuff.

  • Nice to see the two of you bonding.

    Practice, practice, practice.........

    I'm not as fast, but muscle memory should take over when the time comes.  If ever needed.

    Hopefully not.

    If you wish for peace, prepare for war.

  • it's if yoyu WANT peace prepare for war same difference tho

  • what's with the breast grabing with your left hand hon? relax:)

  • I explained this in another video but I will again. I have been trained to put my off hand on my chest closest to the firearm. For a woman you can see what that means. This keeps you from accidentally shooting your off hand if you have to shoot from retention and also helps your hands come together on the firearm for a firm two-handed grip faster.

  • @justmy10cents PERV!

  • i noticed that limalife's arms are a bit longer than her hubby's, her fingers are lower on her leg (like most womens are) which is why she has to sort of hunch and bring her right leg back to make it easier to clear her holster, the only thing i can think of to help would be to lower the holster and maybe cant it forward?? when experimenting with holster placement trying weird angles even if the angle doesent seem right sometimes yields interesting results! a cute vid 5/5!

  • lol @5:22

  • you two are awesome. i love that you guys have this bond.

  • Hey you two, get a room, lol.  Very good drill. U could put something in there as ur getting ready for dinner and practice at the same time. Heat daw, heat daw, heat draw.............eat

  • this is inportant more gun owners should practis this.you should do a in the wastband exircise also. good vid guys

  • Very cute and endearing. :) I know you've had more training than I have, so I'll ask a silly question. When you draw and bend down, is that for stability, ease of aiming, making yourself a smaller target mass, or a little of everything? I want your logic and thoughts on it. I'm generally in a weak-foot-forward stance. I'm certain I have some bad habits that could use breaking. My military training is kind of rusty these days. I could still hold my own, but there's always room for improvement.

  • damm your man is fast

  • Is it just me or is Mr. Limalife really much faster at the grab towards the ending of the video... hehehehe. Great Video Guys =)

  • Super cute. Im jealous

  • The family that shoots together stays together

  • Also i think your son was crying because he wanted his own gun and holster

  • that baby was like there will be none of that here!!!

  • "daddy is attacking mommy"

    lol - nice ending

  • Nice video kids!

    I don't think I would care for all clicking - clacking of the Serpa holster and seems to ridged, seems like it would pinch & poke while wearing it. I'm old school, a nice leather holster might be better.

    BTW: Contact Hallmark, the embrace scene can be their next ST. Valentine's Day card "Tell her you love her, by drilling together" :-)

  • You both draw weird, only an opinion, you move your shoulders and body too much... excess movement, have either of you tried shooting IPSC or IDPA? How's the SERPA holster for 1911's though? I had one for baby eagle and my finger always ended up directly on the trigger, which i didn't like because of a chance of accidental discharge... I prefer my finger right up against the frame when i draw.

  • Hubby started shooting IDPA at the end last year, only got to shoot three matches.

    1st match was the IDPA Classifier, he shot Sharp Shooter, 6th place overall, 1st place CDP, most accurate CDP

    2nd match 5th place overall, 1st place CDP, most accurate CDP

    3rd match he had a bad day...I don't remember what he shot but this year he'll probably do better as he's been practicing more.

  • Good to know, although IDPA is more "realistic" than IPSC, in my opinion, i'd suggest trying to shoot IPSC Production as it's more "popular" than IDPA, at least up here in Canada it is. I'd also suggest, if you havn't already, picking up videos from Matt Burkett. I really learned how to draw quickly watching his videos.

  • A couple years ago, I also was taught how to draw my pistol if I were already in a scuffel with an attacker and how to "retain" your pistol, it was taught by an instructor who teaches pistol retention and other tactics to personal body guards and police forces. I'm wondering if you know something similar but with a child in hand?

    Pretty much, what would you do if you were carrying your child and somebody tried to take your firearm? I've been pondering how I would react ...

  • I like your kitchen. Very cheery.

  • i thought it was gonna break into a porn at the end it was kind unexpected LOL

  • Wow... what a grab.

  • Looks like you two need to get a room........lol

  • wow what an ass

  • Why the hell can't MY house be like this ???

  • I love how big your kitchen is

  • Should have waited to the end! Hahaha "my mommy!"

  • LOVE IT LIMA! Me and my other half will have to do a responce haha
