Not sure what kind of contract you signed with the Devil to get MSP to let you record this, but I’ve watched the sighting in video, the find the dot video, and this one and they are all exceptionally well done. Excellent material (of course), but also excellent sound and video quality. Thank you.

@@mrfrm1975Good job on making yourself look like a clown. no, I dont care about spending money, I'm an MSP Alumni. I drove 10 hours to take his class in Iowa this year, some guys drove from florida. My trip total for ammo, food, lodging, class payment, gas, etc came out to over 1.4k. Not everyone has the flexibility to take classes when they want to and I was fortunate to take mine. I recommend you go to one if you haven't already. There are people who take it multiple times, still learning and improving everytime they come. I know I want to attend another when I come back from overseas.

I wish more instructions would go into the "why" of how we do things. My office's firearms trainer just spits out the mantra and dogmatic elbows lock hunched over tactical turtle stances without being open to do things differently, and can't explain like Jedi the "why" of the way he does things.

[@djkak5320]

Instinctive, or point shooting isn’t something that a recreational shooter, like myself, can pickup in a weekend, or in my case even a year, but I’m getting close and I still work for a living. Locking on to the center of the center of the center of your target is the key, and being able to do that in an instant is a formidable challenge. The center of a beach ball is the same size as the center of an aspirin; aim small, miss small! The brain knows where to move your hand/s in the same way that it knows where to move your hands across the keyboard of a piano. All that’s required is a great deal of practice and the ability to clear your mind and use the “force”.

[@f_stopss1443]

Weaver is trash

[@Training_Tsuna_]

So should the arms have a slight bend or be locked out, according to the instructor?

[@stevenfournier8702]

Slightly bent, I naturally adopted this and it works better for me, extend to locked elbows then bring it back about a half inch to one inch, you'll be surprised how much more control you have over recoil and sight tracking because your grip is much easier to put more strength into it.

[@1911syndicate]

Slight bend

[@awokeone7997]

The way Knockoutlights described it to his classes, you want your body to absorb the recoil not your arms and shoulders, so slightly bent elbows allows for your body to absorb the recoil kind of like a shock on a car.

I've always said the same thing to whoever preaches isosceles stance. Try that in a disciple that requires a lot of forward and backward balance like wrestling. You're going to have a bad time.

[@chuckclark6162]

Yikes, Jake. That was a dirty flinch at 13:16.... It's ok, sometimes I short stroke too, just not on triggers. What pistol were you shooting, if you don't mind me asking?

[@1911syndicate]

Combat precision

[@ericr2066]

Carry Trainer shows you can control recoil standing on one leg. The explanation of recoil moving north to south therefore you want to stand staggered to control recoil just isn't true. Your grip controls recoil in a handgun. I agree about standing staggered but that is for the ability to be able to get off the mark. Although I don't agree with the whole stance and controlling recoil thing, I do appreciate the video.

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

Mickey can definitely shoot. Ask him how he would rather stand when doing a fast Bill drill though.

[@customperforman]

You absolutely can control recoil standing on one leg. But physics explains why two legs control it better. And widening the base to two planes by staggering the legs controls it even more completely.

[@ericr2066]

@@customperforman I'm sure you've seen someone standing on two legs, damn near take their head off from recoil because they couldn't control their grip... yes you can mitigate recoil a bit further with a staggered stance but stance isn't the reason for great recoil mitigation. Staggered stance is mostly for being able to get off the mark and move during a self defense situation.

[@AGC828]

I don't know his background. Ex-US military? No? Yes? Even if we DO train ourselves to use a red dot...in a real gunfight how important is it for us to be able to hit our attacker between the eyes? Or what are the chances of that happening? Or place 2 on his left chest. The goal is simply to get one or two shots somewhere on his chest or head. He should drop. Or his knees or somewhere near his knees...should still drop the attacker. Add we can usually only take care of one attacker at a time...So what if we can see the other two on either side of him...If they're armed we're toast...more so if we don't have cover that can stop some rounds.. Red-dots are gimmick's . If we didn't sneed them before they came to market. ..And what if the battery fails on the red-dot at the wrong time?

[@marcusjohnson5839]

@ Anderson C You still run irons only on rifles? Advancements have been made, so it’s not necessary 100% but for many it provides a good amount of improvement. Do some more research, do what works best for you. Seriously doubt you watch a bat as you swing it or the golf club. That’s the idea of being threat focused with a red dot. Multiple targets or one target, get off the X, stack multiple attackers.

[@1911syndicate]

I’m genuinely trying to figure out if you’re trolling with that comment or if it’s your real opinion

[@briankern6644]

@@1911syndicate I wouldn't be surprised if this was his real opinion. People who have guns automatically assume they are a master "gunfighter" when they haven't even been in a situation where it only escalated to harsh words and hurt feelings. 🙄

[@MochiMoose]

Red dots are certainly not gimmicks. Our eye trains to red dots much easier than irons, whether they’re tritium or fiber optic. In a practical gunfight, a red dot will be much easier to catch with the eye. In the past, it has been point shooting in a gun fight, but with the dot, you can much easier see your target AND your sight, especially with something like the Holosun/Primary arms ACSS colab. on their HS507CV2. In a stressful situation, if there’s even the opportunity to take a moment to get the target in the sight, it is easier with a red dot. Generally, modern red dots have a battery life of at least a year. Some like the Aimpoint acro should replaced probably once a month if you leave it on, but generally RMRs, TRO’s, Holosuns, etc. will last a long time without worrying about battery life. A man knows the limits of his equipment and a man, taking on the responsibility of carrying every day, also keeps in mind the battery life of their optics on their carry everyday firearm, just as they do knowing a round is in the chamber or how many rounds are in their firearm when they go out the door. If you’ve never shot with a red dot on a pistol, you are seriously handicapping your potential in terms of capability and accuracy, as well as tracking your recoil/response while shooting.

[@Chrisblau]

Is this a troll comment? There is no way this your way of thinking? Dudes in the highest levels of the military and law enforcement use red dots on hand guns your telling me they are wrong?
