Valuable guidance from someone with real experience, as opposed to the shills who take a couple lessons and then think they are expert shooters and self-defenders. Thanks for everything.

[@NotYourFriendPal]

These videos are awesome. Pat is one of the better instructors i’ve seen.

[@CBPowerPlays]

Thanks Pat for these short videos on Grip, Presentation, Sight Alignment, Trigger Control and Follow Through. They help simplify things and are helpful for both dry fire and range work. Thanks again!

[@thebarefootadventurer8467]

John Lovell and Pat Mac are in my opinion and the 2 best people who understand how to be accurate under speed

[@cbrucesbiz]

Thank you so much. I have questioned the tip of finger to trigger for a long time and hated having to follow my instructors over the years, but I did. Thank you!

[@NoviOutdoors]

This thumbnail is great! And Pat Mac, well, he’s doin what we already know and love. Happy to see he’s upping the game in the graphics department (kudos to the designer) and if it’s you, Pat, keep bein awesome, brother. Thank you for doing what you do!!

[@douglasachtzehn6676]

Well Done! Keep up the great content. Part about removing gap on trigger finger Gold!

[@Randyfisher84]

I teach my kids when shooting pistol, when it comes front site post and rear sight aperture, “equal height, equal light”. Pat said it, but for kids to remember, that’s what I say.

[@JasonVladimir]

Excellent block of instruction as always! Good show!

[@v.german11b]

Deep Survival and Talent Code. Students of the gun might read both. Pat answers, "it depends." That's something a master would say, having covered the ground from beginner's mind to mastery, the lesson is "it depends." For some of those looking for skill, that answer may bitterly frustrate. They want to know, "how are you doing that?" So the thing is, he's hesitant to say, "this is how I do this, this is the right answer" because, he knows the learner will leave training, thinking they've got the problem solved. The thing is, that's A way to solve the problem given a set of conditions. An outcome. I think specific detailed instructions are important to develop good technique building fundamental skill. Just reaching fundamental skill takes thousands of rounds, much dry fire, many hours over many more days and weeks - training the drills and techniques. The American mindset is that all Americans were born knowing how to shoot guns, ride horses and be great lovers. The truth is harsh, ask your girlfriend. Too many people - Senior NCOs and Officers - think that shooting skill can be had in a few hours or over a two day class. No. A learner can discover a few things in classes, but the major lesson is that there is no shortcut to skill. Real skill building is hard, repetitive, time consuming, WORK AND *STUDY* Learning demands discipline. Who is a beginner? A beginner is someone who has never consistently shot 3,000 rounds a month, and still doesn't do that now. Dan Horner will spend all day shooting the 20 Alpha drill, five rounds at a time, for a FULL DAY, prior to a match. A truck full of 5 round magazines, over and over and over. 5 shots, from 20 yards, all five in the A zone, in less than 3 seconds from the holster. Each impact outside the A zone is a lesson unto itself. Over and over and over. There a multitude of drills just like that, to build PERISHABLE skill. Mastery demands discipline over time.

Your informetions are Worth in Gold. Even if i have to learn via the Internet . Your lesson will be learned. Unfourtnatly you can not take these lessons in germany.

[@joeyoung8498]

Pat is fucking awesome! Rock on

[@chrisconversino6294]

Regarding finger placement on the trigger, does it also apply for bullseye shooting? Or is it only applicable in a more kinetic type of shooting?

[@Gothic1Actual]

Which brands of kydex holsters do you prefer? I usually run Glocks, 1911s and a P220.

[@beardedred0032]

Pat, are you able to speak to how you shoot 25 yard bulls with blurry iron sights?

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

May I ask where your training is located for pistol training? Thank you so much in advance. Regards from the heartland.. South Central Indiana. USA Tim

[@Bklynpimpstress]

My main issue is im right hand dominant but for some reason in left eye dominant and i wear glasses for vision but even using both of my eyes to try to sight my left eye takes over and i gotta try to favor that side more.

[@thomasharp3246]

Does that trigger finger method work on rifle as well?

[@daven953]

Cool

[@johndanaher6371]

Are the principles for the grip the same for revolvers?

[@anno.nym.faceless]

Can anybody tell me how to spell -> Splitting the "distofilangy"? i cannot find anything on google, and i am typing it completely wrong i presume. Thankx in advance!

"Anachronism taught through institutional inbreeding". I have this thesis that the SF community is an example of anarchist philosophy being practiced. Guys like Pat do not accept doctrine or authority at face value and are constantly testing what actually works.

[@seanoneil277]

That's not anarchist. It's just being discerning and caring about efficiency, as well as true/useful instruction.

[@stringgreens6387]

Older guns are easier to shoot because of the trigger pull. I have shot newer guns with more safety bull shit to keep dumb people alive and the trigger pull on them is so long and distant that I loose placement of my shot. Older guns have much better trigger pull for me personally.

[@JeremyWinkels]

Once I figured out my Glock trigger I can shoot anything. Glock triggers have a defined slop and wall, then a hairpin trigger. Took some reps but once I figured it out it’s pretty good

[@Dadlife911]

Some old guns have better triggers. The design of something like a Glock trigger is to resist not shooting yourself under stress. Not just the range while still not having the complexity of a safety.

[@onpsxmember]

Age isn't a good constant to judge triggers. There are horrible old triggers out there. Categorize the trigger you're looking for by short travel and light pull weight, not the age of the gun.

[@jwilsonhandmadeknives2760]

in a general sense this is true. the new Walther PDP had a dynamite trigger in it. Probably the best factory trigger ever, and most definitely the best one on a striker fired pistol. If there’s any drawback to the gun it’s that the gun is ridiculously light and therefore the recoil is a little snappy if you’re new to the gun.

[@joshuaputman8307]

You can't beat a 1911 trigger.
