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?

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.

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.

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 😊

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

There is a lot to learn from you tube !!! Been around guns for 40 years and always keep my eyes open . life is a lot of fun with the right people.we are friends I think

@@jessicacrawford4767 we all want that gun and welcome to the community of owning a firearm

@@jessicacrawford4767 it kinda looks like the canik 55 or another one of the cz 75 clones, not sure.. i personally want the jericho 941 but it's impossible to find in Cali rn

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!

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.

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.

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

@@nathmatillano omboo cooo

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

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.

Thanks for the comment!

What type of holster is that he has ?

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.

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

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.

Glad you liked the video!

Glad it helped!

Thanks!

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.

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.

Glad to hear it!

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.

Agreed. Guessing it's a custom 1911.

Thanks for the comment!

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.

Awesome, thank you!

No

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Welcome!

Glad you joined us...

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... ;)

My dearest Bob King. I don’t know the answer but we all have a little “LowLeft” in side of us. You can check grip and pressure. Finger position and dry fire. It’s the journey that makes it all worth it. The destination is never satisfying. Perfection is strived for but never achieved. I find talking shit at the range helps when I can’t quite shoot straight.

A lot of us have the anticipation flinch
