I’m a police officer. This information is vital to both police and security officers that are putting their lives on the line. Please listen to this man

Instructor Mike keeps it real again. Now let’s go find the full video. 🔥

Perfect explanation why you should upgrade to a higher retention level safariland holster.

Your explanations are what really show the intellect. Keep on keeping on 🤌🏻

Instructor Mike, I had to put this on slow motion. You're FAST . . .

This is one of the reasons why I’ll always be against open carry, this can be remedied by another more secure holster sure, but your firearm being exposed is never a good idea.

Reminds me of when Mike was showing us how the store security guy was talking on his phone, and how Mike could come up in his blind spot and take his gun, because he wasn't paying attention and left himself open to easily have his gun taken from his side holster.

Real life: Attempts the same move… Gets upgraded to a wheel chair

Big mike out here with that real talk 👏👏🤙

Just found your channel.. I'm about to binge watch now..ttyl 😁

I love this. That makes sooooo much sense. The laws of self preservation.... How interesting

Love the content. Awesome advice, great information. Side note: this is why I do not open carry. Iwb, concealed is the only way to go. Preferably appendix carry.

Thank you for teaching US ALL soooo much😊

Ur right, good training!

That example was most instructive, and a reminder of the warning we always got, that the forward threat never excused the need for all around awareness. [The old techniques all included some pivots or rotations, in a grappling struggle, which would often turn the first assailant into the "rear ambush" zone, an accidental protection against tunnel vision. The rear grab, as well as normal elbow position, was a major reason why the high-rise, forward-raked thumb-break holster was so popular for so long. Before that, the low-slung, side-snap holster was worn to permit easy draw while wearing a uniform jacket, since the jacket leaves protected the weapon from view or easy taking. I never liked the straight-drop holster, the modern version of which encourages a push grab for drawing, hardly as fast as the sweep draw of the high-rise days, and which encourages anticipatory draw, a major contributor to the excessive erroneous force incidents in recent years. The trigger guard merged with the front strap of the grip seriously impedes one other rear-grab retention element of a few old revolver holster models, including the clamshell: the upper rear lip partially overrode the reverse surface of the trigger guard, allowing easy clearance during the forward draw, but snagging if a party attempted a snatch from the rear.] Your point is well taken, although it also alerts the potential assailant to that trick. Normally, such attackers get focused and grab directly for the pistol, which gives the owner a slight chance of deflecting.

This channel makes me so happy. everyone in the US needs to own and train on having a gun. fk mass shooters, criminals, etc. we all need to start standing up and being responsible for ourselves including our own safety. rely on no one for your own safety.

“He done took the gun” 🤣😂

Thank you for sharing this Vital information with us @Instructor Mike 👊🏼💯❗

Everybody laughs and calls me a wannabe gangsta or says im uneducated because i carry mine on my front pelvic area....but its alot easier to defend and protect...now it does take training to carry this way because it changes almost every body mechanic...but after 3 years as a c/o, 1.5 years as a cop and 12 years in the army....this has become my method

I just found your channel sir, I am trying to catch up. You are great!

Another reason conceal carry is far better

Gained a subscriber. Good guy Mike strikes again.

He got that move from Splinter Cell.🤣🤣

Man done returned a kick on madden

I love Instructor Mike!

😂😂 low key my man hurt himself a little bit when he hit the wall. Big ups for continuing the video n ignoring the pain 💯

That's exactly why I don't open carry. The only way you gonna know I'm packing is if you find out the hard way.

This is why I follow u brother!!!

I like how he's switching the words at the end "endure" so that she don't copy lmfao

Man..I could really use some self protection training.

I need to change out my Blackhawk holster. Thanks again Mike!!

Professional, look at that natural safe firearm handling even when he knows it's a training weapon.

You ROCK! Thank you for teaching those of us who believe in self preservation via self defense.

Holster design is critical, even when open carrying. The only person that should be able to grab your gun is YOU, the carrier!

This just changed my life and the way I carry

Food for thought!🔥🔥

My man going as Snoop Dogg for Halloween

You are fire bro, love your videos

He almost ran into wall 🧱.. great content I love it ..

So proper 🔥🔥🔥

I tried that on a cop and got shot 17 times...😎

"he done took the gun"😂

This video is more about the risk of open carry than the holster. If you are engaged with an attacker and then another attacker sneaks up on you, not many holsters will help. Rather have a holster with active retention like a blackhawk than one without it..

Yo that was real quick

Second short I’ve seen from you I’ve liked both imma just subscribe lol

Forward, X, Square, circle

I mean, I don't really open carry, the best thing is the element of surprise. It actually saved my life. Open carry can make you a target. At the same time, holster retention is a thing and they train for it to be second nature

Now it’s funny that I’ve seen a video of a cop getting attacked today where this exact thing happened. A cop was busy talking to a guy with a bat in his hand when another guy came up behind him, grabbed the cop’s gun from his holster and while the cop was distracted with his gun, the other guy attacked him with the bat

Point well made sir!

Wonderful teacher, my son wants me to learn more about gun safety. 🔫

Mans talking about self preservation and a gun holster at the same time wtf

Great tip.

Cant believe yall got snoop in for the demonstration

That’s the main reason why I do not open carry!! 💯

This is valid pount. I hate open carry holsters

I still use this holster for conceal carry under a coat or jacket, something that goes below the end of the barrel. I wouldn't strap this on and walk down the road brandishing everywhere.

It's very important to learn they train this stuff all the time, do you think people join the military and are just automatically special forces? That's a goal you work towards you train towards you ignore friends and family for if you're not always training you're just getting worse. Training others to do better at their job. My hats off to you sir.

Oh damn . You should do some videos with donut operator and then guys

This one is very useful

That's a good move. That's why when I was trained by my uncle he trained me with a shoulder holster. I would think about the attacker and heel kick them extremely hard put hands on me. The fall means nothing to me.

Depends on what exactly is on his mind at the current moment basically situational awareness even if I'm struggling with someone or something I still usually keep my mind on whatever I have that I'm carrying on me that I don't want anyone to grab

For all citizens who carry. Don't open carry. Makes you a target for criminals. Leave that open carry to law enforcement 💯

Good teacher

Mines secured but easy for me since I know it well.

You can also just rip them open, the seam isn't folded over like the safariland 6000 series. Some of the cheaper safariland holsters have had the same issues in force ln force classes too tho.

I use Alien holster duty carry holster has two locks one strap that has to pushed back and your thumb lays down on the trigger gaurd release it's much easier than it sounds very fluent motion

This is why I conceal carry

This dude actually knows what’s up

This is why cops tell people to step away and arrest the fools that get too close.

I’ve thought about this so many times because as a a criminal which I ain’t proud to say, I have a criminal mind set and the whole time I seen a gun hanging out n shit I just think about how easy it is to walk up and snatch it and you can’t do a damn thing

You ever see those guys that know matter what happens or how they fall down they never spill their beer, that's because they have that beer in their hand everyday, multiple times a day when they stumble and/or fall down a lot because they're always drinking and walking around and messing around, so if a cop practices enough with his gun in very Which Way scenario possible it will be automatic reflex to have that secured in his hand as he falls!

The urban survival trainer Pro Max

I wish he would’ve told where we should keep the gun the.

Negative I disagree for people that truly train weapons retention muscle memory is protect weapon at all cost. I've had to train with multiple attackers and it's actually hard to take it out holster

Noooo I seen this happen !! But it was just in his pants on the waste he had to go hide even tho his first reaction was to get it back

If I'm not moving my gun side is pressed into a static object like a wall, turned away from anyone in the vicinity and/or my arm is resting on it. Whether I'm moving or not I keep my head on a swivel. Very few people have ever gotten within touching distance without me noticing them. That said I don't use this particular holster so 🤷‍♂️

"Mom, can we get Instructor Mike?" "We got Instructor Mike at home." *sees Detroit Urban Survival Training

Wow come to Milwaukee to teach 🙏🏽

In the laws of self preservation my body already has my hand on my gun.

That’s why I don’t like holsters that sit out in the opening

That spin tho

Well your demonstrating this with a retention holster that you picked. If a criminal is having to grab the cops gun he doesn’t have one of his own let alone an assortment of holsters to understand how they work and where they release is. Retention holster shouldn’t replace situational awareness especially when open carrying but kinda a flawed demonstration. Redo with somebody who hasn’t used Blackhawk holsters and a target that is at least semi aware of his surroundings and that few seconds is enough to react.

bro just standing there

The demo is factual however, the individual matters as well. Some advice, don't randomly hang around protective personnel. Some of us do practice, situation awareness.

Detroit Urban Training begs to differ.

He done tooked dat gat o lawd

This is why I appendix carry

I only open carry on the range with that CQC holster or an Orpaz drop leg holster . Otherwise appendix IWB for CC

Instructor Mike do you have this classes in new york???

You ain't lying. I've walked by and seen so many cops or regular people that I could have just grabbed and yanked it. I wonder why they never act like they need to watch their back. Isn't that the point?

that is why l conceal carry.

Good

The element of surprise is critical, open carry is very risky. You are just making yourself a bigger target.

That’s crazy

Prefer the snap and velcro UTC holster myself

Two one on each hip. “Wyatt Earp”

Knowledge. I have a holster like that...

I like a shoulder holster myself

That's why I carry concealed.
