Appreciate the comment!

Small guy with a big gun. It's quite hilarious.

Because there are always haters. No matter what you do.

Everything you do in front of a camera sends a message to the person who watches it. Some subtle some are more obvious. Speech patterns and body language are almost more important then the message being delivered depending on the audience. Tactical Hyve appears to be elite in all aspects of his performance and that in itself will turn some people off. Grain o salt needs the internet.

If it turned out that a guy used this video to enhance his shooting abilities before he went to your kids school and headshot your kid three times would you dislike the video?

Looks like there is no cameraman, he’s got his cameras on a tripod... which is even more impressive and professional, ‘cause he doesn’t even need to have people around him to remember safety. It’s so second nature that he does it even when he’s alone!

@@quiggs8361 Yep! Habits, habits habits. I've only been shooting a few years and now it seems unnatural to even point a Nerf gun at someone.

@@tommurphy4895 Teaching my kiddos ( 8 & 9) about basic gun safety. Youngest handed the pistol back to me while aiming it at me.... hah. (Obviously I triple checked that it was empty). She'll learn though! At least her finger wasn't on the trigger!

Don't give up, my CCL teacher was a pain too (& I passed 100%), but I've kept going, met some really nice people, joined a club, & watch a lot of videos & I'm feeling so much better about it.

Yep. went to a gun range in Murfreeboro, TN and the range guy was a total jerk! My step son, who is retired Army and certified range officer was treated like a marine corp 1st day shooter by this trash. He is lucky that my step son, who is 90% disabled due to PTSD didnt clean his clock for him.

Could you elaborate on the thumbs in line with slide??? I assuming your thumbs shouldn't even be touching the gun if

If in line with the slide...**

@@davekilberg8276 Thumbs full forward grip, placing both thumbs in contact with upper frame just below the slide. Although on lower bore axis models this can get trickier. CZ's are great for thumbs forward grip due to internal slide rails, Glocks have enough material below slide, along with Sig P226 and Walther models.

Shoot first, ask questions later is the main rule. I taught my kid this rule and never ever anything bad happened to him in the jail.

If you're teaching this same garbage, there's the reason cops are terrible in a gun fight. Very often you hear about cops shooting 7 to 10 shots and only hitting the perp once.

Thank you for the time stamps.

Thank you.

🙄 this!!! Watching these vids and putting the priciples and tips into practice at the range has improved my shooting dramatically!

Thanks 😊

Wow! That is an added learning to this and quite easy SGT BS

@@nathmatillano omboo cooo

I thought you had a register the gun you intend to carry when you get your concealed carry permit? so at least in my state you wouldn't have even been able to get a concealed carry permit without already having a gun

@@autodidacticartisan Definitely not in Nevada. Idk where OP is from. You can borrow a gun here to pass your CCW.

And also.... what kind of gun is this?! I really love that!

Yes this help me as well its nice when you know what you are doing is good

Glad you liked the video!

Awesome!

@@TacticalHyve a,

But why at 2:38 four rounds are fired, yet at 2:45 seven shots are shown?

It's an animation. It's not meant to match the number of shots actually taken--it's used to highlight a teaching point.

What I liked about the (minimal offset) missing sequence was his honesty. He did not purposely throw the shots farther to the left to force an exaggerated--and dishonest--shot group. In other words, he is genuine. Also, this in itself proves what may be the greater point: proper training & practice instill in us good muscle memory. This makes it harder to overcome the "good" habits that have become permanent. Remember, practice does not make perfect--instead, it makes things permanent. Under stress you are then more likely to do what is right.

what larry said.... but i am somewhat interrested in the pull weight of that trigger.

I noticed that right away. Good observation. Yes, his muzzle discipline was spot-on. Good for him in a training video.

@@jaybarrow6814 allaiaaaaaauaa>9 !9> zsdzsuj99aiaiaj99cIi9i9zi99zia

A

could you explain what's muzzle discipline? i know trigger discipline but this is the first time i heard of muzzle discipline.

@@smoadia85 Always never point the muzzle at something you do not want to shoot or would be bad, whether loaded or not. If he pulled the trigger he would not have hit the camera in this case.

Makes ZERO difference. A camera is not a person. Pointing at the camera could be perfectly safe (or not) depending on multiple factors that the video watcher has zero awareness of. Ridiculous how people want to fill the comments with muzzle discipline criticism (or, in this case, praise to indirectly criticize those who have committed the sin of pointing a gun at an inanimate camera) when they know nothing about the off-camera surroundings, including whether there is even another person in the area at all. Safety... of COURSE, but people need to get over their perfect selves and stop what I call "firearm-virtue-signaling". P.S. If someone is stupid enough to shoot their own camera, the bullet still won't come through the screen when you watch the video... which I would definitely watch more than once while laughing my ace off.

Welcome! It's all about continual learning and development, and a ton of fun too.

I'd suggest starting with a .22 and working up the calibres. Check your grip, not only where but how you grip. Uneven pressure can cause issues. Get a revolver and get someone to put random empty cases in, check for flinches on the empties. Do more slow fire precision shooting, that shows up your technique very well. Lots of ways but good luck.

Uh, I was starting to get disappointed after 3 months (having problems with the trigger pull as well and squeezing it too hard when not focused enough). Great you don't give up. Don't want to give up either. Let's do training... and more training... ;)

A lot of us have the anticipation flinch

Thanks for the comment!

What type of holster is that he has ?

That's not quite accurate.

Exactly

@Bilbo_Swagginz Same thing with general aviation airplanes. Pilots need to get back up into the practice area and re-learn to hold altitude while turning and also doing so while flying as slowly as possible. I fly airplanes better than I shoot, but there is a lot of similarity between the two when it comes down to disipline.

Is it ok to dryfire a Pistol? I have a M&P Shield 2.0

@@onemorething100 Some can be dry fired, others can not. Look in the owners manual and it should tell you. The M&P's can be dry fired. I have the M&P 2.0 compact 9mm and I dry fire it daily while I am in the garage smoking my tobacco pipe. My Ruger SR9 says it will damage the magazine safety so I just removed the little piece with no problem dry firing now.

The one thing that made my grip and trigger pull better was using a laser cartridge in my gun and firing at a target. I practice this, with my draw, every single day.

Like that officer responding in Baltimore. Found cover, rested his handgun up, and made an incredible shot. Oh, while he was being shot at. Did I mention? He was also being shot at at the time.

IPSC rig

Yeah, good info, but I was really trying to zero in on that holster.

Scope out the Strike Industries Ichiro holster. You'll dig that too.

But not pratacle.

I love how every time he moved he was covering his foot. Hope he was wearing Kevlar boots.

Yep! Definitely a good firearm instructor. His explanation is on point and easy to understand. No BS, straight to the point.

While that is correct, the camera is rock solid like on a tripod. I have seen other KZfaqrs giving demonstrations where they pointed directly at the camera but made a point to say that there was no one behind it. Even in a video it is still slightly unnerving to look down the barrel of a gun.

yeah .. in quick succession from 3:53 on he swung the muzzle nearly straight up to show both sides .. followed by down toward the ground

@@samevans1535 Never point a gun at something unless you intend to destroy it.

@@bluishwolf do you intend to destroy planes in the sky?

For sure you re right , but you can have all the skills learning you want , that s just for shooting sand targets . There is one little tiny detail that will come up the day you will have to shoot for your life eventually , and that s stress and the adrenaline influx which will make most people forget about any technique they should use and end up crappy shooting . Therefore if you re just a random Joe planning to get a weapon to defend your family , get a shotgun , stress or not , you sure won't miss :) And if you have more than 2 braincells fighting for domination in your mind , you won't get a gun anyway :)

@@christophedohet8877 fuck off.

@@VanBruceArrant when a gun is used in an honest to goodness self defense situation, you best believe law enforcement gets involved, that’s one of the things you must do AFTERWARDS. When investigations are finished, and it’s found that person acted in self defense, they won’t get jailed, Provided they ALERTED AUTHORITIES and give an accurate portrayal of what happened. you’re right about the second part, though, no news station would cover story after story of “person rightfully defends life with firearm” because there’s no one to point a finger at and blame; Perhaps the criminal who was stopped, but that doesn’t fit the media’s agenda that “Guns bad”

Glad you liked the video!

Gen 3 Glock 19 is my gun too. Never had an issue with mine in 16 years. I carry it weekly.

@@colonelkurtz2269 Gen 5 here and already at the 10K round mark with no issues not a single malfunction yet.

Glad it helped!

@@TacticalHyve The only thing that was not really clear based on what you said but was, based on how you demonstrated with the whole center of gravity thing. To be correct, you should say to lower your center of gravity by leaning forward. Your center of gravity stays right above your feet or you will fall over. As you lean forward, your butt goes back maintaining your center of gravity over your feet. Other than that minor criticism, I loved the video and it showed some very basic things that shooters without much training can use to vastly improve their shooting. Great job.

Replied to your previous comment.... Lowering your center of gravity is definitely important (we refer to it as the dead mass effect from the late Ron Avery) , but using forward center of gravity is correct. They are mutually exclusive. Without getting into the details in a comment, one must compensate for the rearward force of recoil. Dropping one's center of gravity does not cancel/balance out the opposing force--it just decreases it. Hope that makes sense.

@@IndyNewsontheStreet I tell my students "just stick your butt out..." true story.

First Steps is typically a free class funded by the NSSF to get people in gun ranges/stores to buy guns. When I was an instructor at the biggest gun store/range in Tampa, it was taught by an Instructor who had only been an instructor for a short time and had no experience teaching law enforcement or military. Another instructor, who claimed to be a "competition shooter" had barely any skills than he did. Folks, vet your instructors. (That means, check their background, their experience). I get students in my classes all the time that say they trained with this instructor or that instructor and then they have horrible fundamentals and make every one of these 5 common mistakes and more. Their instructor took a 1 or 2 day course with the NRA and now all of a sudden they are AN INSTRUCTOR. No, no they are not. I gained my instructor skills in the Air Force working at the Security Police Combat Arms range. That's where I learned to teach people on the range how to shoot and what to fix to make them better shooters. I learned to teach in the classroom with Train the Trainer and other instructor development courses. When I went to the NRA Law Enforcement Pistol/Shotgun course, a 5-day course to teach cops and security officers, it was shooting intensive, are you a good shot? It wasn't about teaching students. Going to ILETA and other schools, have given me those skills to teach students in the classroom and on the range. If you're going to learn to shoot, why are you just going somewhere with a guy wearing a red shirt that claims to be an instructor? Are you going to buy a TV or a computer without first doing a little research and reading the reviews on it? Well yeah, many of you will. Why? Because of laziness. This KZfaq/Tik Tok generation, doesn't actually want to read anything. How about first doing research on who is going to be teaching you, then maybe going to them. It might cost you a little more than the free First Steps class (remember, it's free cause they're trying to get you in the store to buy that crappy Taurus they have on sale for Memorial Day). I like this guy Myles and he's got some really good lessons. Seek people like him out but also, be wary of those on KZfaq who claim to be "KZfaq Instructors". Some are just good actors, who know nothing of shooting, but can make a snazzy video and, like that gun store owner/range, they're just trying to get your money. Vet your instructors folks. Train like you Fight, Fight like you Train, so Train Hard, Be Hard and Be Safe.

Awesome, thank you!

No

Thanks!

i would much rather be sideways aiming at someone that is shooting at me. i disagree with standing like this so i am an easier target,apparently u have not been shot at

Glad it helped!

Agreed. Guessing it's a custom 1911.

Welcome!

Glad you joined us...

Except we can't anymore. [color us pissed]

The weird thing is, when you have that even pull it is almost a surprise when it discharges.

Lol

Lol!

LOL...Me too so we've got center of gravity pre corrected..

Glad to hear it!

Foot placement is one component of the stance, which Myles didn't get into in the video. Foot placement is necessary, but not sufficient for optimal results. If you take a look at the best shooters in the world, the majority of them lean forward--those who don't are using 'powder puff' loads, a small caliber pistol, are big/strong, or a combination. As mentioned in the video, a lot of people can get away with shooting with a straight body (and staggered stance). However, we can pretty much guarantee once someone does a bill drill, they will always be faster and more accurate by leaning forward. They key is having a forward center of gravity...there is more to that than just leaning or having a staggered stance. Both are necessary, but not sufficient to having proper center of gravity.

@@TacticalHyve makes sense. More meat behind the recoil, more inertia, less movement. Men, myself included, are biased that way. Lighter people do struggle. Other schools are teaching absorbing the recoil in the slightly bent arms, which I'm not sold at, least as a focus point. Have your instructors taught it/seen it make a difference when emphasized? p.s. Good point about the little pew pew rounds. +P can change a persons outlook when it's through a poly compact. Thanks for the response. Great vids.

Im in aggreance with this gentleman, foot placement north to south will allow for dominating the recoil, however i read through the replies on the comment and i can see the point of view you are seeing from.

Great comment here, as I agree, and was wondering how best to express it. Women, with lower center of gravity, seem to adapt well to foot placement, whereas men over compensate in a more awkward fashion. Myself, I do not aggressively lean forward unless I am using a pistol with an LER scope (or something large/heavy with heavy recoil), however, I am tall and have a bigger chest, which with proper foot placement, gives me a steady firing position, for me. Very tight groups from your shooting positions! You have a very clean, steady pull on the trigger. Bravo!

i have never had aproblem with a gun pushing me backwards thus having to lean forward
