Muzzle Up or Down? | Which is Better?

[@matae64]

Hello. Love the video. I am 54 years old and new to guns. Even though I'm not that old I can already feel that I'm not as strong or as quick as I used to be. So I purchased my M&P Shield 3 years ago but it's sat in a drawer. Six months ago I began watching your videos. Three months later I began to take my gun out to the range and began shoot it using what I had learned from your videos. Last month I got my concealed carry license. I'm still waiting for it in the mail. In the meantime I continue to watch and learn from your videos. I am also searching for a one on one lesson as you guys suggest to continue getting more training. Thank you for giving me the courage to take the gun out of the drawer and start learning to defending myself and the ones I love. And again thank you so much.

While it's not from Geuaga , search John Murphy FPF training. I learned so much from this course. It's on KZbin. Basically a full concealed carry course of a high caliber level.

Great plan Ernest. PAY for quality instruction. Even a few hours will make you such a better shooter. Also, look into local pistol competitions. You have them nearby. You can enter them. Steel Challange is most likely the best to start. You're not going to win but 1st & last place pays the same. Heres a really good place to start: practiscore.com/dashboard/home

Another thing I've learned from Neil, is that you need to be physically fit as well as tactfully with a gun... The situation may arise,to where for what ever reason you may have to depend on physical skills!

Hello from Arkansas. More great information as usual. I spent 7 years as a Patrolman and also was a Detective in the 80's and had never heard of Sul or Temple Index. Learn something new every 10 minutes. LOL. NEVER stop learning!!!! Thanks for sharing so many great tips!!

[@ShoogyOhmai]

This is great info. I had a older gentleman range master that came over while I was shooting. And I had the gun cleared and the slide locked back. I had the gun pointed down at the ground and he came over and took the gun from me and told me that even when it is fully cleared it needs to always be pointed down range even if I had a holster. I was perfectly fine with him coming over and discussing safety with me but the fact he came over and yelled at me and took the gun from my hands

I think when i was in the army we had to have the muzzle down. Im not sure it was a long time ago, but thats the way i remember it.

[@NHlocal]

Serious question; When using position SUL would it ever become a "problem" having my support hand behind my weapon? If for example I found myself quickly transitioning to "close quarters" situation that my support may need to be "free" to maybe manage an unknown contact? .....if that makes any sense. Thanks and be safe! Randy

[@majormushu]

Temple index seems like it would obscure sounds coming from that side. Am I seeing it incorrectly or is that not something taken into mind when planning?

[@michaeldunne1348]

Good advice that many of us probably don't think about as much as we should (or train to at all (I would guess) in most cases). Quick question: From an LE perspective, if my wife and I come home to a kicked-in front door, should we back off and take up a covered position (behind the car, etc.) and call 911? Alternative 2 would be to enter the home and risk coming face-to-face with who knows what. The house could be empty... or not.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Stay out and call 911, no object is worth you getting injured or your life. Thanks for watching and commenting

What’s the older looking guy with the beard say? By the way we shaved our sheepdog every summer and it changed his personality-seems that had a similar effect. Keep up the great vids, much appreciated. KIm, could you have said Up or Down in Less that 10 minutes?

Depends on what is around you, but muzzle up is easiest to keep clear with the least amount of thought. I reserve muzzle down for open double barrel shotguns broken open... Thanks for the video!

[@garyowen9044]

I did MOUT training with MILES gear (I’m old). I got smoked so many times going up stairs I can’t count. We were training with the British, eventually one took pity on me… “UP MATE, UP! (muzzle) UP!” Duh.

Great video. Young kids are likely to run to you and grab hold of your legs which is the same as being in a boat. I have to commit this to memory! Thank you !

Your weapon should be holstered unless you are in a combat situation. If you are in combat then point your weapon in the direction you expect the assailant to come from. Most of your video is for police or miltiary people not for civilians.

[@ramos5464]

Chet Gravatt you’re joking right?

[@ZPMBTV]

Nice Jeans

[@googleuser7202]

I like your videos but do everyone that's watching a favor. You got a black shirt on or jacket and you're holding a black gun it is kind of hard to see if you're viewing this on a small screen. So it would help viewers if you wore a lighter color jacket or shirt that way they can see your firearm.
