Nice video, but there's a better way to describe these ready positions. You take 1)COMPRESSED position if you want to stay in fight, because it minimizes reaction time. If you shoot a wrong guy - it's problem with the training, not the position. There's no point in increasing reaction time in a fight 2)SUL is for crowded places, where most of the persons around you don't threat you at all, like bodyguard VIP escort scenarios 3)TEMPLE INDEX is for turning inside a vehicle, so you won't point a muzzle at people around you in a tight space 4)LO and HI READY to me are transitional positions, when friendly/civilian crosses your line of fire, or maneuvering within it, or you're maneuvering the way your line of fire might cross position of a friendly/civilian.

Thanks for these videos man they really help people who want to learn and improve their shooting style. Amazing video and very informative.

Great knowledge transfer sir. The compressed ready, works great for clearing buildings, solo, with a pistol. It frees your other hand, to open doors, and doesn't telegraph your pistol, during threshold movements.

Thank you for solid information. I appreciate the basics, have to have a good foundation.

Great content thanks, Myles!!!

Great video. Thank you.

Awesome info Myles.

Always great stuff. Thank you.

High rises have concrete floors generally.

No position is perfect, but the temple index just seems problematic unless you're wading through water or running through a crowd. Unsecure, one hand grip. Interference with peripheral vision. An accidental discharge not only means a bullet traveling upward, but an explosion next to your face and ear.

Highrise buildings have concrete floors.

Our low and high ready in training the muzzle is pointed towards the target

I've been taught that temple index should pretty much only ever be considered for exiting vehicles. Otherwise it's just not worth the risk

All I have to say that the circumstances will dictate the ready position, Distance, number of threats, just at range practicing all will dictate a different ready position as you stated depends on the situation and training. Didn't see a Combat high ready position there is no black and white answer as the circumstances dictate your position and response. Your explanation of the Startle effect or sympathetic response people usually don't know or understand. Also the covered Sul Position when moving through a crowd or group this will prevent a grab and retention , some people think the temple position for that however I always and trained the covered Sul.

nice

NOICE!

What is the pistol in the video ?

If you think about it, no matter where you’re muzzle is pointing, you’re probably muzzle flashing someone somewhere in the world No matter what 😂

To the high ready with handguns what I picked up so far (glad to here more about it): Cons high ready: - Someone can bash one in the face with your handgun if not prepared for it and if it's too close to the face. (matter of training) - If falling back in a confrontation the muzzle will point up further where there is only sky. With a low ready one starts with legs or hip region as the general pointing area - Is perceived as far more aggressive which can escalate things, perhaps even more than a compressed ready. Pros high ready: + When falling forward, the hands instinctively go forward and that should be in most cases a safer direction that also allows for changing the direction to point to while falling and the hands are already up to break some of the fall. Having the handgun possibly pointed behind oneself when falling is frowned upon. + Quicker to aim, already looking over the top of the front sight + Better retention to twist and turn with it instead of having the arms almost straight down and being possibly grabbed All situational. In the car is also interesting if one has to turn around on the seat with people in the back.

Your low ready is depressed muzzle. Our department low ready is up, but not on target/threat

Keep your finger off the trigger and all the ready positions are safe. Ijs

there are no safe positions

If this video is in fact for “new” shooters, then the “high ready” position should just be considered an “absolutely not”. Even more so to that ass-backwards temple index- good way to go permanently deaf if you accidentally discharge. Oh, and if you’re at the range and point your muzzle at the ground/floor, be prepared to get kicked off the range, if not get banned. These videos seem to be made to get noobs killed.
