A Day In The Life Of A Armed SPO || How I get ready for my shift

[@thesecurityguardchannel]

So Im a middle aged man that was forced into the security field after the covid 19 pandemic of 2020 abruptly shut down my personal business. Forced to deal with the reality of losing my business, I made a pivot back into security work for the first time in five years. Understanding that I’m behind the curve in terms of firearms and combat experience, my goal is to seek out knowledge that will make me a better guard while also helping to prepare myself and family for today’s uncertain times. My hope is to rise above the everyday typical stereotype of a “security guard” by putting the same efforts I have into being an entrepreneur into being a professional. As I learn, I’ll also share with others in an effort to help them become “atypical” as well. I have a seeking heart, but all of this information could very well one day save my life. I’d love to colab on a podcast or something, and would love any of the guards reading this to check out what I’m working on. All respect to everyone here, especially the amazing sister in the video.

Great video Moses. I ran a cross this and was pleasantly surprised to see you have furthered yourself in the security world from your days starting out with me in unarmed security. Keep up the great work you are doing, and your great work ethic will take you far. God Speed!

[@rpd3327]

Don’t use a level one holster for the gun. You’re gun can be easily taken away during a fight if you’re using that. Get yourself a Safariland 6360 level III duty holster.

I like how you explained how to load the gun safely. I start security classes next week and watching this video gives me a heads up on things.

I love your videos you’ve really progressed! Can you do a video on how your holster works? You explain everything so well. And maybe a day on the field.

[@GoldieLocs101]

Javontay Biggs ..... thanks hun I will try my best. The area I work for is real dangerous so it’s gonna be a little difficult but I’ll try.

[@davidvargas1494]

I would recommend using a level 3 retention holster it is it good investment and it would prevent someone from grabbing you weapon as easy without it

[@angellebron7468]

You are adorable. Thank you for doing this video. I am an Armed Security Officer in Florida and I appreciate your video. Be safe and watch your 6 !!!

Hi, this is an EXCELLENT video! You did everything correctly and it's great that you're emphasizing the firearm safety aspects. !!

You’re so bored. Don’t capitalize off my content. Smfh

[@HILLBILLYDOC_TTV]

Your magazine should always face the same way for muscle memory reloads. In a stressful environment having magazines that are all facing different ways each day is going to make reloading difficult. Just a helpful tip

[@garyclay5595]

Hello Gary from Grindelwald Tasmania. Security guard and Glock 17 FDE (Flat Dark Earth) licenced gun owner, experienced firearms owner. May I please reiterate that your demonstration of loading a Glock 17 had several discrepancies. Firstly, you shouldn't release the slide with the slide stop. It eventually damages the spring. You should pull it back with your free hand. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with tapping the fully loaded magazine. It ensures that the magazine is correctly seated. Please trust me, I have been a security guard for 25 years and a gun owner for 20 years. I know what I'm talking about. Good luck and thank for your demonstration. Please stay safe and protect yourself.

Thanks for the tip

[@ryantaylor5316]

You want to slap or force your mag in when reloading or loading your weapon for the day, I've seen many times where a mag will drop out when its not locked and seated properly when you go to draw the weapon or if you have to fire a round. It will fall out, there is nothing wrong with putting force or hitting it with the palm of your had to make sure that mag is locked in the weapon correctly.

[@handled99]

You dont need to "slap it". Just push it in the mag well, hear the click, then slightly tug on the mag to make sure it is properly seated.

[@sanderrehepapp5219]

@@handled99 my dad has instructed many people, and saying "don't slap /harm/hurt the gun is a bad thing cause you can't be afraid of breaking your gun so slap it(no one can be 100%sure the click was the mag locking) the best thing do say is slap it!

[@justanothercayleb820]

Andrew if other people are firing in a deadly force situation you will not have the time to be gentle with the firearm.

[@stephanievernet-joseph8053]

Andrew when your in a situation when you need to reload, due to adrenaline you’ll try and reload as fast as possible. it’s done by every police officer during a OIS

That’s was a well detailed step by step on what to do you are great this video helps and it will help first time women Gun owners

[@phillipmeador3097]

Are you using full metal jacket ammo?If so i would recommend changing to jacket hollow point.

[@exploringthesurface2468]

Just a note Always wear your oc spray on the non lethal side so if the oc spray fails or doesnt effect the suspect you still have your weapn hand free to draw.

[@spongebobroundpants1688]

if your put your pinky in the chamber to check for bullets and your thumb presses the slide or you it somehow fails and slips, say goodbye to pinky

[@bwalmer1551]

Um, quick question on the cable lock for the pistol. Where did you learn to run the cable through the barrel? Pretty sure you should run the cable through the magazine well. First time I’ve seen that???

[@thatcardude95carreviews6]

[@daddybeagleaz907]

Good video, what's with the 10 rd magazines though? Also, what do you carry for a flashlight? How about OC spray? Duty knife/tool? First aid supplies? I once knew a very switched on police officer up north who even kept a couple of MREs in his duty bag.

[@MultiWayland]

thank you I go to my Armed class this week ( Charlotte N.C. ) keep up the good job

[@MegaChevyMan79]

It’s a slide stop not a release. Also slam the mag in to ensure it’s seated. If you don’t there is a possibility that the mag catch is not locked when you draw your weapon and the mag falls out in a self defense situation. Highly recommend a level 3 retention holster with a hood for a extra level of security. The slide lock can be used for a release if your week hand is injured. Also train at the range with weapon manipulation. Would also suggest a WML (weapon mounted light).

[@GoldieLocs101]

Blah blah blah 😑

[@micway71]

@@GoldieLocs101 he was giving you constructive criticism. I agree, make sure the mag is seated properly. More of a bump than a slam. I was a SPO for multiple years, as well. Here is more to work with: when you are feeding use your index finger touching the tip of the projectile as a guide to get into the mag well. All in all, you put a good video. Chances are I received training from some that trained you.

[@obiterrible3414]

I was about to say the same thing.

[@jonduncansakurawallknifegarden]

Are there daytime jobs where I could still come back home to my son after school? And if you only had 10 rounds in the first mag, by chambering it and then dropping it out, you still end up with 10 rounds right? I have heard that it’s easiest to carry a hot chamber (carrying one ready to go without needing to charge the handle and cycle the action to chamber a round) if you 1. Use 10 round mag to load one in chamber by cycling it from your mag while loaded. 2. Unload mag only, by dropping mag and insert another round into your mag. 3. Load mag into hot chambered gun with 10+1 in the chamber! If I missed something, and when you cleared the gun, If you then added another round to make 11, I’m sorry for the mistake ! Hope you stay safe.

[@jaypitts3100]

The slide well is design for the magazine to be slapped into the well especially if u in a gun fight were its u or them the side release button is a magizine release and me personally im not going to have a round in the chamber unless im out in public

[@christophersorrell8182]

Hi, the only thing I would say do different is instead of curing the slide .... pull on the back portion of the slide ...... I’m just afraid your going to get you palm in the slide if it slips and closes..... I did that once in the police academy ......

[@GoldieLocs101]

Christopher Sorrell ....thanks for the word of advice hun. Well appreciate!

[@Davis2920022001]

I once had a fellow soldier stand right behind me while i was off base with my girlfriend watching, I had a similar holster but a button press to release but honestly a hard tug was enough to release it, any who, I turned around after dumping my food in the trash and he was right there, NEVER even knew he was behind me, stuck with me till this day over 10 years later, I hope you've gotten a better holster in which someone cant snatch your gun from you when you're not paying attention.

love the video but there's one problem i saw while you where explained how many rounds you carry you said you carried 30+1 but you never reloaded the one round you put into the chamber so your only carrying 30 rounds if you have 3 10 round mags

[@erickm2472]

Why is she using full metal jacket ammo ? Isn’t it supposed to be hollow point ammo ?

[@caynine29]

In a pressure situation keeping your magazines stored in the same orientation (with your rounds pointing downward) can save you from fumbling around potebtially trying to load it backwards... which could save your life. Also... if you're just loading 3 magazines, charging and holstering, your weapon, you only have 29+1, not 30+1. Great video. 👍🏾

[@Helmholtzwatson1984]

@@krunglebung8993 the safety is dont put your damn booger hook on the bang switch 😂. But in all seriousness, yeah its safe. The firearm stays in the holster until its ready to be used. The holster is the first level of safety. Most duty holsters have levels of retention as well. A holster is level 1. Level 2 is a loop or shroud. Level 3 adds a lock mechanism that needs to be pushed before you can drop the loop. Sounds complicated but it doesnt really slow down drawing a whole lot. Again as for the safety when the firearms drawn, only put your finger on the trigger when you're ready to shoot (destroy) what you're pointing the firearm at.
