gr8 video, I'm born with no fingers on my left hand and this was really helpful

[@TacticalRifleman]

Glad we could help.

[@raphaelfonseca]

Really liked the instructions, were clear and later were proved.

[@georgeglenn4308]

Thank you so much for this very helpful information because i had a stroke a few years ago and my left side took the most punishment and you gave me my confidence back so i can continue to use my guns thank you and god bless you.

[@tracyhill4686]

I also am left side affected, post stroke. My boyfriend has been helping me rack, but now I know I have options. So much appreciated.

[@ahmadabq]

After having spent the past 10 weeks with a very painful and life-altering fracture to my dominant wrist, I've been experimenting with ways to rack, change mags, and release the slide with just my non-dominant left hand. I found a way to chamber rounds with my shoes but the tip with your knee is purely ingenious not to mention way more practical!!! Many thanks

[@ahmadabq]

You've got a very unique course catalog which is impressive to the least. Any tips or suggestions on a small ambidextrous 9 mm with low enough recoil for me to get comfortable going beyond snap caps to practicing these left-handed only maneuvers with live ammo? This is truly do or die because I literally have no idea when or if I'll ever have functional use of my right wrist back. Thanks a billion in advance

[@emergencyroomandy9425]

Great drill, im a new shooter and currently am trying to learn more and more. One issue I had is, YOU MUST USE THE SLIDE RELEASE IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PISTOLS PERFORMANCE WHEN RELOADING! It's MUCH faster, can be trained easily with dry fire, and it's just logical. The designers put that release for a reason. If you don't use it, you are handicapping yourself and putting yourself and everyone around you in that much more danger. I've been binge watching a ton of Sheepdog Tactical and one of the instructors say that the time difference in slide releasing vs going over the top equated to 10 rounds from a PKM burst. If football is a game of inches and seconds, Gunfights are a game of millimeters and milliseconds.

[@TacticalRifleman]

I agree. However, practice BOTH methods, as sometimes (such as wearing heavy winter gloves) the slide release doesn't function reliably. Learn and master both. THen, use the faster technique. Thanks for watching, TR

[@streetkombativesystem4704]

Another excellent drill mate! As a recently NRA certified instructor I will be teaching this one to my future students. Cheers.

[@KingKnubBakugan]

I have one arm. This helped a lot.

[@ronniehardison8712]

I have both arms but the left is severely weak nearly non-functional due to right side stroke. As such. I understand the struggles of those with limitations. However Finding ways to do what I need to do has simply by necessity become a way of life. THANKS for the tips in this video!!!

[@JustanOlGuy]

Thanks for your expert technique, I suffered a stroke and as a result I lost the use of my left hand so my hand to hand skills have suffered immensely. So I need to rely on a pistol for self defense but was not sure if I was going to be able to rack and reload, so again thank you!

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks for watching. If you make the conscious decision to practice, you can master the one-handed techniques of shooting. If you need help, reach out to us at t1g.com and we can get you professional one-on-one instruction. TR.

i am having the same issue. i sustained a brachial plexus injury 2016 dec 07 in a motorcycle accident. the worst of it is classified as upper trunk palsy in my c5-c6 brachial nerves. i also sustained a torn deltoid muscle. those 2 have cause major lift loss in my right arm which has affected my shooting. and now i have to relearn how to shoot tactically and defensively. thank you for these videos. i will absolutely be takin what yall are teachin and put it into muscle memory

[@rohnnnierrohnronnieoldrohn5003]

I had a stroke about 2 years ago and still haven't got my right hand back which was my dominant so this is perfect to watch

[@WranglerRider3]

Sid, you're the man! We really enjoyed coming over to see y'all and the expertise you had on the Roger's Range really helped us out! THanks again!

[@AlimentalElder]

I would train with my knees because I conceal carry. It also seems to be a little faster. Although it would be prone to user error (accidently dropping the weapon etc.)

[@khirywiley5937]

Great video. I will take this advice and try it at the range again and do it right next time. Thanks.

[@Nuganics]

I think it would require a heap of stress training to pull the knee version off in a live fight. Great option tho if dominate arm goes down.

[@ccwnoob4393]

A good way to avoid having to rack (esp since some of cannot do it one handed) is to swap a mag before you're out. Though that obviously deprives you of a round (or more if you lose count) that's a tradeoff you have to weigh. I have a 6+1 and practice with triple taps, so after just two triple taps, I swap the mag and never have to rack.

[@JingleBop]

CCW Noob Does your pistol not lock back on the last round? Just push the slide release

[@JeremWatts]

that applies to every form of ballistics

[@brr8888]

Some people don’t like to carry hot on a striker fired pistol.

[@AtibaBriggs]

[@jlocalzart5497]

Another method I use is during reload i put the firearm in the armpit upside down, and put the mag in. I think it would have been nice to also do malfuction solving: i.e. tap the mag with hip and racking it using your belt or shoe if you have no holster

[@GSXRtc9209]

For someone in a wheelchair(as I am a T4, I have control from nipper up, and full use of arms and hands.. I've (liertally) just came up with a stance solution for someone in my situation or other situations, u may have to tweak it for you tho.. but mine is if the threat is at my 12 o'clock, as I draw, I pull back on my left wheel, turning to the 9 or 10 o'clock and shooting at a 2:30 or 3 oclock position, which allows you to shoot and sty stationary.. or shoot at the 12 and if it rolls you, well that's just a small tactical retreat.. largest issue with being on wheels and maybe not having time to lock the brakes, is if the ground is un even, well , personally I know I'd be shooting on the move if I had to. What worries me is my accuracy being diminished by the fact I can't control my abdomen, or God forbid I need to take a life or death shot and my abdomen or legs spaz and throw my aim to the sky.. (bc technically all I can control is my top, so think of me as a bobble head, but over the years I've calmed down the bobble. But its still very much a bobble

excellent instructions as i have found that during force on force training shots to the hands are far too common as we hold the firearm center straight out and also taught to shoot center of mass right where the hands are , luckily i have been only hit with simunition rounds . but time spent in scenario based training that tends rto happen

[@DKC1011]

I'm curious, I know guns have alot of safety features to prevent misfires, but when he racks the gun in the "feet and knees together" technique the gun faces quite predominantly towards his feet. Is there a chance that, seeing as the weapon is hot, that it could go off during this maneuver? I know these guys are professionals, and I'm sure if you were in a position that you had to shoot one handed it might be a risk you have to take, but is that a danger? or is it perfectly safe?

[@nikolaikalashnikov4253]

Yes, the gun can fire when you rack the slide... That's why you always keep it pointed in a safe direction. Eventho the gun is pointed "toward" his feet, his knees are bent and the gun angled in a such a way that it's not pointed exactly at his feet.

[@whiterabit09]

Brilliant

[@mikebunner3498]

Excellent instruction. Thanks. Keep your powder dry & stay safe.

[@TacticalRifleman]

Thanks, you too!

[@rrrr7659]

I was told by my instructor to keep a tight fist on my chest with my weak hand, just like in this video. He told me it's to keep a good stance and absorb some of the recoil, is this true?

[@TacticalRifleman]

Yes. It also keeps you from sub consciously swinging that hand around, which would move our other arm. Plus, when injured, your natural response is to withdraw your hand (think grabbing a hot pot); so you are practicing for real life.

[@OneHandGunMan]

Any tips on grouping shots shooting one handed?

[@TacticalRifleman]

We cover that in another video you can find in our video archive. Thanks for watching, TR

[@jestergodfield690]

When you pressed your arm to your chest it made a cracking sound, almost as if you had genuinely broke your hand or something!

[@TacticalRifleman]

Touched the Mic

[@timothythomas1626]

In a case of target closing the space to go hands on.Or even if they aren't making a charge. I was thinking that this in both cases could be applied and or considered.As it is a primal - animal instinct .That after a party is injured the foe can instinctively move in for the kill. As they see you wounded and feed off this. What I am considering once one is injured and or has lost total or partial use of the support or strong arm. It's at the time the injury is incurred .That Breaking the contact, and or tactical widening the gap between you and your target becomes even more vital. Also I considered and this is all subsequent to one's environment and or situation. Whilst Breaking contact widening the gap or space between you and the threat. I imagine that any obstetrical or cover you can get between you and your target the better. If only for the reason of once that slide locks back you don't want the threat to close the space before you get a round chambered. I realize that there are always exceptions and what if I am here or there. But for the most part when in public or at our homes. There are 98.9 % of the time cars tree's furniture IE obstetrical and or cover and concealment. Now with this said I know the difference between cover and concealment. However I am using the word "OBSTETRICAL'S" in a context of putting more in the path of the threat. To give the victim that extra second that can make a difference

[@bpaul1054]

Practice with arm dangling to sim an injury...or carry second gun- 1 on each hip...

[@TOOSAUCYREACTS]

Very nice 💯

[@TheAllUnkowning_Kaiser]

What if your dominate trigger hand is the one that's injured. Would you want to practice with the other hand or is that not safe practice.

[@zaneporter2025]

Very helpful video! I have a brachial plexus injury to my left side and not much movement in my left hand due to that. What holster are you using here?

[@TacticalRifleman]

Safariland ALS

[@MrGivmedew]

Thanks, nobody ever showed me the knees thing... watching this brings me up to this question. Let's say your left arm has an injury and you have a misfire? This would be a striker fired or single action gun that doesn't have an exposed hammer so striking the round again till it fires isn't an option. Or maybe its any semi automatic but the gun jammed. Or shit maybe your gun didn't lock open and you are doing a reload.

[@TacticalRifleman]

You can rack the gun on ANYTHING. Belt, wall, eye socket

[@navinavinavidof]

Hello, I would like to ask you what type of Gun are you using in one hand. What is the best type for it? What Gun has the smallest back force reaction ?

[@C32used]

I am a righty strong arm but an accident caused me half my right arm so my left dominant now...but because I had a stroke it affected my left hand I have to concentrate longer on aiming and trigger pull to shoot more accurately. I believe I use same stance but my left leg not my right leg along with my left arm....should I try my right leg which is my original strong leg or should I stay using my left leg as the strong leg?
