Unpopular opinion time! This is not a smart policy and guys are going to die. Apart from combat arms and MPs, the gunhandling (especially pistol) skills of the average service member are fucking atrocious. I acknowledge that it is absurd that we prohibit our military from defending themselves on base, but to just lurch into basically shall-issue without any attempt at building up a pistolero culture is going to have tragic consequences. Hopefully base commanders slow walk this enough that practice can catch up to policy, but there are going to be widely publicized and politicized deaths from this.

What a fucking idiot that big fat head douchebag. He should never been given a gun, zero gunhandling or security thinking. That kind of dumb fucks gives legitimate responsible gun owners a bad name.

Simple gunhandling test with generous par times that the average gun owner would probably fail miserably at.

It's bad gunhandling to leave a round in the breech of a semi-auto, it's also VERY bad etiquette to use three rounds on a game shoot. The kind of thing that gets you asked to leave. (Seen that happen)

TRAINING NOTES: Details - Try to focus on a few areas to be more comfortable in performing your job. Maybe that's marksmanship, basics of gunhandling, gear selection, mindset, angles and distance, timing and processing speed, footwork or noise signature awareness. These are all things that you can train to give you an advantage over the competition and help you develop your skillset and the delivery of information. @Timcast @TheAKGuy @Harden_TF_Up @ShawnRyan762 @RKGold @commandeleven @RooftopLeader @laralogan @slayderaider250 @RAIRFoundation @AmyMek @FBI @FBIDirectorKash @FBIDDBongino @DHSgov @Sec_Noem @HSI_Dallas @FBIDallas @HaginDoege @apexguardhq @GBNT1952 @Harden_TF_Up @TDATracker247 @glennbeck @TuckerCarlson @ShawnRyan762 @BentonDave28405

Regarding manual safeties on firearms. If you're so adept at gunhandling that you don't need a safety, using the safety won't slow you down. If you're so bad at gun handling that you need to leave it off, then using the safety would be beneficial to your health and well being.

I'll bite. Here's one I use somewhat frequently. "As a veteran, I didn't trust the gunhandling skills of veterans who haven't taken any outside instruction."

Gun Handling in an Apartment How worried should you be about over penetration with an intruder in your house? #Apartment #OverPenetration #GunHandling

He's a really good shooter (first Grand Master with a Glock, multi time 3 gun champion) and has his own private range in Simi Valley; not a lot of private ranges within 45 mins of LA. He was hired as a consultant for JW2; JW1 had corny gunhandling and the guns used were lame.

Great Rifle ! We learned marksman ship and gunhandling around the same age. Dad was a cop , always had guns around with no issues

Gunhandling nur mit Background-Checks und ohne Vorstrafen.

One of my favorite Elmer Keith quotes. And rather shows something has been lost in gunhandling...

Tactical shooting Vs Competition shooting I get a ton of messages, here and on IG. “Why don't you train tactically more often?” “Are you training to fight or just play games?” “This competition stuff is gonna build bad habits for real life” Here is the difference between training shooting skills tactically and competitively: There is no difference. Shooting is shooting. Grip (or mount with rifle), vision, gun manipulation. Training in one setting prepares you for the other. To adopt the vernacular of Pranka and Stoeger, these are your “hard skills”. I’m no cool guy with a thousand notches on my gun, but I have been on a two way range. I have trained tactics and CQB at some of the best schools available to civilians. I have trained with Green Berets and Grandmaster level shooters. There is one thing in common. You can never train the hard skills enough. Hard skills are what enable you to employ tactics. Without hard skills, you might have won the tactical battle, but you will lose the gunfight. Without tactics, you won’t ever get to use your gun. But here is the rub. Tactics, while not simple, can be learned rather quickly. In combat, it often comes down to you having a strong base of tactical knowledge, but the rest you have to make decisions on the fly and improvise. What enables you to improvise, are your hard skills. Hard skills on the other hand, take CONSTANT practice. CONSTANT pressure testing. CONSTANT updating. THAT is why you see me training hard skills CONSTANTLY. It takes years of training and dedication to become truly proficient with your weapons. At the end of the day, it comes down to who can deliver force fastest, and with the most accuracy. There is no upper limit on how good you should try to be. There are very few competition specific things, such as unloaded starts, and weird swaps to reload while shooting one handed. Even then, those breed great gunhandling skills and familiarity which translates to real life confidence with your gun. Before anyone hits me with “but building competition habits will get you killed in a gunfight!” If you can’t control your body, or base your decisions on the context of whether you are in a match or a gunfight, then you should not be involved in either activity.

Master of gunhandling 🥵💥💥 #AjithKumar #GoodBadUgly

Also M class shooter > DEVGRU shooter in terms of speed, gunhandling and accuracy.

That's some unsafe gunhandling. Camera is obviously handheld and chucklehead sweeps the camera guy many times while fumbling with the gun. Don't really care about the silly Sig.
