That second method to clear double feeds has blown my mind! Would that work for a failure to extract? It seems every time I've had an FTE has been at competitions and I've gotten good at identifying and fixing using the first method. The second method would definitely help keep times down.

[@Davidg368]

Yes it will work also..you can also depres mag release rip mag out reinsert same mag and rack..its very fast but you only give the extractor one chance to the the chambered round out with that method

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

ALawnMower99999 this is why I say make sure you test it in your gun to make 100% sure it works every single time you get a double feed. Yes this will work with a failure to extract as well but just keep in mind you have to make sure you rack the slide not ride the slide because A stuck keys does not like to come out very easily.

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

Davidg368 Yes the strip and re-insert method works well on Glocks but be careful on a lot of guns it creates a worse malfunction

[@gamoliterno2968]

@@HaleyStrategicPartners What kind of others malfunctions the method of rip out the mag and then rack can create? What I see is possible and already saw it happen is get a cartridge stuck in the mag feed lips and mess up the mag feed lips. I always use and teach (I'm Brazilian Air Force military) the lock the slide first to take out tension and make easier to rip out the mag, than rack the slide, re insert the mag (or new one) and charge the gun because of our duty pistols (Taurus Pt92) dont let a good grasp for the magazine to rip out the mag without locking the slide.

Excellent presentation bro! The "mag depressed method ' when double fed looks a lot faster than the "lock-strip". Does this apply on the M4 carbine as well?? Thank you.

[@collinjones311]

So when you say to look with just your eyes and not your gun, is that specifically for checking surroundings after you engage a target? Recently saw a video of mike glover doing single man room clearing where he was adamant on having the barrel follow your line of sight. Any input?

[@solwindp78-1]

I think what Haley is referring to is that its often physically slower to turn quickly with your arms fully extended, vs keeping your weapon closer in and extending your arms when you see your target. In room clearing you can move methodically and keep your barrel aligned with your eyes, but if, for example, you heard a noise behind you, it might be better to bring the gun in and rotate vs. just rotating all the way around with arms extended. The benefit of having your arms extended is probably that if you do see something during your turning motion you can immediately fire, and the benefit of keeping your pistol close in would be that you can turn quicker, see where you need to put the gun, and then punch it out to full extension, possibly saving time. So that might be the plusses and minuses of each. But I could just be making a mountain out of a molehill so take that with a grain of salt.

[@JohnWicksPencil14]

Solwind P78-1's Preliminary Aerosol Monitor you’re right, I guess it comes down to personal preference but to me it’s a little more practical to keep your firearm in tight to your chest and punch out at your threat. Practicing aligning your sights to and from those positions will make it second nature when the time comes.

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

When you’re shooting on the move specifically in CQB you do not want to have your head on the optic, do you want your head to be freely moving checking corners especially. I prevent using my weapon if I don’t see anything because your eyes will see a threat before your gun can actually shoot it so to prevent angular momentum and keeping in mind speed and accuracy utilizing when your momentum is why we use our eyes more than a gun, sorry for the run-on comment I’m text talking. There’s been a lot of questions about this and we will definitely do another video explaining more in depth

As always Travis, great instructional video! I have one unrelated question... I just recently bought the same pistol as you use here (glock 19x) and use the same light (surefire x300ua). Since I'm new to glocks, none of my previous holsters fit; what model are you rockin on the video? Thanks for the info.

[@aldamico]

Safariland 6354DO ALS Holster. If you are looking for the same belt mount, I believe it is a G-Code RTI one. Keep in mind, the RTI belt mount requires an extra piece to be fitted to the holster to make it compatible if you choose to go that route. The holster can be found here: www.safariland.com/-holsterfinder-duty-gear/model-6354do-als-optic-tactical-holster-for-red-dot-optic-DG_18.html

[@sigspearthumb1056]

How are you getting a double feed with live rounds? I thought a double feed was when you fire a round and the extractor doesn’t pull the spent casing out and just loads a live round into the back of the empty case. How are you getting a double feed with 2 live rounds?

[@shadowoffair09]

Regarding clearing double feeds... I think it was very note worthy to not have two live rounds stacked. I guess I never thought about a potential detonation. I was instructed and have practiced using the round completely seated in the chamber. I do like his method, but one bit of experience you miss out on is having the mag get stuck when you initially trying to clear the malfunction. Since the next bullet was partially stripped, it won't always let the mag drop free. Personally I found having the stress of not being able to free the mag, stacked on top of the stress of the initial stoppage, extremely useful. Any thoughts??? Thank you and great drills!! I will be using some of them in own time.

ADVICE NEEDED: Any recommendation for when you (carry 3 mags) have a double feed failure on the last mag, but still need to stay in the fight? How would you recommend handling your full mag, racking 3 times and fuel up again?

[@tv92taylor]

All of these methods are highly effective, but they require you to diagnose the specific issue before you choose the method to apply. If you get a click and no bang in a real high stress scenario, would it be better to default to tap-rack first and then progress to lock back-clear magazine-rack-reload? That seems like it would clear every “fixable” problem without requiring you to focus on diagnosing the problem.

[@HaleyStrategicPartners]

tv92taylor so if A pilot and gets an engine on fire... your saying he should tap rack bang the dash and hope the plane magically fixes itself?

[@tv92taylor]

HaleyStrategic - No. I’m asking a genuine question.

[@tv92taylor]

HaleyStrategic - No. I’m asking a genuine question. Is there an actual reason to try to diagnose the exact issue and have a unique solution that’s tailored to that specific problem? As opposed to a general solution that will fix almost all of the problems and then a backup that will fix the rest?

Tap, rack, ready is always the first thing to do when the gun fails to fire, no need to look at it, this is the Immediate Action Drill. If that does not work, then do a Remedial Action Drill, again, no need to look at anything. If a Tap, Rack, Ready does not fix it you better be looking for cover or dumping that gun and going to something else. "Diagnosing" the gun takes your eyes off the bad thing and takes time you do not have.

[@chekkerachou]

Quick question: Do you you ever incorporate (or even see a need to incorporate) retreating behind cover or at least partially stepping behind a barrier to address these malfunctions in training?

[@Rubeless]

That’s realistically what you should do. I’m not sure what these drills are for. In a civilian situation I want to get rounds off and simultaneously make distance, scan for other treats and seek cover and call 911. Then clear his weapon and act like I’m giving medical assistance. This should all be done with a concealment holster and mag pouch. Forget about tactical reloads. Unless you have been practicing for decades and have been in a few fights, you are gonna be in a strange state, psychology and physically. Drop that mag and top off your weapon. Use dummy rounds to simulate malfunctions. Standing still is the last thing you’ll be doing. Even in a fist fight you are gonna be moving right, why stand there being an easy target.

What if you get a stove pipe but it doesn't fully seat the next round it picks up, wouldnt the first method just cause a double feed?

[@Russianmafia10]

@@HaleyStrategicPartners I mean if while the gun stove pipes, it pushes a round halfway out of the mag into the chamber but doesn't get a chance to get the extractor on the rim, wouldn't the round be still halfway in the chamfer while the next one is trying to be loaded. I've had this happen to me before at the range.

[@ryant5652]

Did you remove the grip nub on the 19x?

[@sapprdaddy]

It seems as if you have a Special modified, tricked out, custom trigger that is allowing you to shoot with confidence. Is that true or are you just using the stock trigger and have trained meticulously to the point where you are so familiar with the trigger travel that in the video it appears as if you gotta custom trigger?

[@xxthadeucexx]

He uses his Skimmer trigger which is a stock trigger with the slop taken out. That being said, I've trained with him and he has taken students' weapons and run them like they were his own. If you ever have the opportunity to train with him, do it. It's not even the shooting that makes his classes amazing. It's how much you learn without having a gun in your hand.

[@sammypeddycord3058]

[@iono2639]

Dear Mr. Haley, good evening (here in Italy is 6 pm) and hallo to everybody who read here. I would like to know, if possible, something about the resolution of the malfunction "double feed" in the case we have just one magazine so we must retain it during the manipulation (I think the fastest option) or put it, temporary, back away and reuse it again at the end of the operation on the rack. Maybe for you it can be strange but here in Italy also the police, in the majority of cases, have just one magazine during duty. Thank you if you can answer in some way, hoping that my question can be useful for most people. Congratulations for your work and for the always clear exposure and usefulness of the topics covered. Ciao William from Italy

[@gamoliterno2968]

I'm not Travis but I can tell you what I use, even having others mags with me or for those who don't have the habit to carry more mags (here in Brazil on duty police generally use 2 spare mags but off duty is very common carry only one in the pistol). When I rip the mag out I put the mag between the pinky and ring finger of strong hand, leaving my support hand free to rack the slide. I found this to be very pratical and faster then putting the mag on the pocket or pouch. Holding the mag on the hand that racks the slide isn't good because the mag don't let you get a good grab on the slide or can fall when power stroking the slide.
