Nothing fancy. If you wanna see more gun related content or just enjoyed the video please feel free to like and subscribe (you don't have to) I'll be trying my best to push out more content over the next couple of months. Thanks for watching the video.

[@Astronaut_E]

This is my first ever pistol, and I haven’t taken a professional pistol course yet. So try not to flame me too hard in the comments.

[@itsreallyhairy3555]

Just remember gun safety, the rest is easy. Train and get better.

[@grayson7844]

Subscribed! I'm on my first pistol as well for 3 years and love training similar to how you did here! Nice kit, Nice range, nice work!!! Keep it up brother!

[@Rika_5768]

Good to see a brutha out here getting after it!

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

If you prefer we don't flame you too hard in the comments, is there a way you do prefer that we flame you? 😉

[@chugwater56]

No hate here. Willing to respect anyone driven to put in the effort to train. Keep it up brother

[@RelentlessDH]

That’s a dope ass range

[@Astronaut_E]

Indeed it is

[@Zer0FuXGiv3n]

I was pretty impressed with it as well.

[@MrFnGeeks]

Always cool to come across local guys getting after it!

[@Doc8404]

Good training sesh. Love that indoor range. Individual private lanes with no fudds around to train in peace.

[@Astronaut_E]

Exactly! lmao

[@albertptran]

always nice to see people doing drills

[@Zer0FuXGiv3n]

Everyone on KZbin is an expert apparently. I'm not, but I believe in words put out by one who is, "The difference between an amateur and a professional is that the amateur practices until they get it right and a professional does it until they can't get it wrong." Chris Costa. Keep at it, I don't see anything that you're doing wrong.

[@Astronaut_E]

Thanks man and yeah I appreciate everyone’s advice. Just gotta do what works best for me and become really consistent with it

[@TheOscarsolis89]

Good training brother. One of my favorite drill along with the Bill Drill.

[@Astronaut_E]

Mine too!

Nice drills, good job

[@Astronaut_E]

Thanks man

[@AiAngel]

Great sesh. Filter through the feedback and refer to your footage, cross refference with training material, and you'll be able to drill to a HIGH level of performance!

[@Astronaut_E]

Thanks, will do!

Respect that CC apparel brother.

[@patricksuper852]

You should look into the MHA adapter plate.

[@Astronaut_E]

I might purchase one for my next belt setup

[@xDeVeYx]

You need to focus on fundamentals my man. Try to be safe before tacticool

[@Astronaut_E]

I didn’t do anything complex in the video, all of these drills are fairly basic and they incorporate a lot of fundamentals for both rifle and pistol, but I get what you’re saying

[@Big606mike]

Love the training super inspiring

[@Astronaut_E]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@zexnynex777]

​@@Astronaut_E Yea dude i subbed. I hope your channel evolves, you are my kind of people 👊

[@10tive]

Ooh wow! I'm impressed with the shooting range place. 👍. Ei about your shooting, not bad at all and you're working and figuring it out which is the main point. 🤗

[@Astronaut_E]

Always getting better

[@jameskarl8908]

I’m not roasting you at all. Just trying to offer a tip. Your holster is canted, getting a leg strap will help with that and also help it be more stable when you draw. Some guys like em some don’t. Good drills though.

[@Astronaut_E]

I like the cant on my holster personally and I am using a leg strap system from Shaw concepts

[@barscatcher9178]

Awesome👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Astronaut_E]

Thanks 🤗

[@tthanhtamae86]

Awesome range, we all start somewhere. For pistol, it appears you may chasing to find your sight picture as oppose to bringing to sight picture to you. Perhaps try training with keeping your head in an neutral position and bring the pistol sight picture up to you. I'm just regurgitating what I was taught. Wish you the best

[@Astronaut_E]

Yup just gotta get used to it, I apply the same fundamentals from rifle

[@godhead1997]

xcal man !! good shit

[@Gamer_4life873]

gotta crawl before you can walk. i'm learning also

[@Astronaut_E]

Gotta walk before you jog, jog before you run, and run before you die.

[@christophergiron6621]

Good shit man. XCal is a pretty legit range. Wish they had lanes that are further distances though

[@ethanc5752]

sick stuff bro!

Thank you!

[@sectorseven07]

Hey bro im down in richmond and have my own range down in southern va if you want to link up and work some fundamentals.

[@Astronaut_E]

Hey that’s not too far, DM me on instagram

[@sectorseven07]

@@Astronaut_E whats your instagram

[@StrategicOasis]

where is that range located? wish my area had some single bays.... and just to drop some advice lose the hood for the optic and try to cant that holster to a more natural draw stroke, dont wanna be fighting your natural draw, should be a subconscious movement... otherwise nice work , everyday better brother!

[@Astronaut_E]

Yeah the hood was definitely getting in the way, and thanks I’ll take that into consideration as I keep training

[@GalliumAZ]

Respect for training. Similar suggestions as others. Holster is to far back and also to high for your body mechanics. Try the 2 oclock position. you should be able to hold your arm straight down and comfortably roll your fingers under the bottom of the holster without bending your elbow. Id uggest the True North MHA and a negative cant adapter for the safariland. I run mine about 5 to 10% cant depends what you like. Also the Nub Mod from OT Defense. Makes drawing so much easier. (also get to a class make sure you vet who your training from)

[@Astronaut_E]

Hey thanks for the advice, and yeah I looked at the MHA I might try it out on a new belt setup, and yeah I agree it’s a little too high but it’s working for me right now as I progress in my capability with pistol I’ll move to a more comfortable setup.

[@hiroprotagonist921]

good shit man, get it!

It’s actually an old weather case I found while thrift shopping lol

epic content bro

[@Astronaut_E]

Thank you!

[@fmj8329]

That's an awesome rage bro nice and private

[@Astronaut_E]

Yup away from the fuds at the range

[@Scope_Bite]

Bro nice video but you have no fallow through. After your shots hold your weapon out focus on sights. Before holstering or putting on safe. Think basketball, How a player shoots and leaves his hand hanging there for a second or 2 after. Work on the fallow through.

[@P0opingCatfish]

Yeah for real, hes holstering before some of his brass even lands lmao

[@Astronaut_E]

I was in somewhat of a rush because I only have limited time on this range but when I’m on flat ranges outside and I have more time with my drills I practice follow through pretty regularly

[@Scope_Bite]

@@Astronaut_E definitely get it. Try to build more of a relationship with your range guys. My guys are good dudes and normally let me slide if I go over my time. They know I'm a shooter and what I do for work. But low key I hate indoor ranges lol

[@sneake1531]

hell yea

[@patrickm.blanchard8497]

Work on finding a more comfortable position and can’t for your holster. Looks a little far back. Also widen your stance. Think a fighting stance

[@zexnynex777]

Grip looks solid af. Milspec Mojo just did a vid on drawing faster from retention, i plan on watching that one a few times myself. 6:36 Get a nub mod, it helps A LOT.

[@Astronaut_E]

Hell yeah love mojo

[@PentiumThorn]

he's tryin, cant fault him for that

[@twofeathers2023]

OH YEA XCAL IS THE BEST

[@Astronaut_E]

Hell yeah

[@legacygarage5056]

I’m not an expert it looked like you were chasing the dot I seen small head movements. Keep ur eye focused on the target and let the red dot come up to your eye. I like to tape the front of my red dot to help me focus better on the target. Just my cents I could be wrong I’m not expert. Good video tho

[@Astronaut_E]

Yeah I’m not used to shooting pistol but I plan on doing a video about dot torture and getting used to shot placement without relying on my dot

[@legacygarage5056]

@@Astronaut_E hell yeah bro glad to see someone putting themselfs out there from scratch. Makes me wanna make videos of the process still learning myself

[@briannguyen876]

its not your optic cover thats slowing you down its the placement of your holster. its too high and too far back. its making your draw inconsistent

[@Astronaut_E]

Im gonna keep my holster setup the way it is and just work around it, it all comes down to dry fire and consistency in movement

[@A51ANB0Y]

where this range at? looks cool asf

[@Astronaut_E]

Xcal northern Va

[@armon8399]

A lot of this can be practiced dry. I go to the range once a week but before I go I do a couple thousand reps dry 1st.... Good shooting though

[@Astronaut_E]

Yeah I agree I’ll be doing a lot of dry fire training, however this is my first handgun and I want to get rounds through it to become familiar with working pistol and familiarizing recoil

[@armon8399]

@@Astronaut_E damn thats pretty good for being your 1st handgun

[@Ldub556]

Not the mags it’s your hand riding the slide stop I’d bet, get that dot sighted in 🤘

[@Astronaut_E]

Funny enough I haven’t even zeroed my dot yet and I’m getting solid impacts on center steel at 40 yards

[@fmj8329]

I think ur pistol was a little to far back for a quicker draw
