Simple But Effective Pistol Drills

Company CEO Lucas recently traveled to New Mexico for some business and spent some time with T.REX ARMS friend @J_Mooniz (instagram). This is the video of their time running drills together. These are some of the drills Lucas shoots on a regular basis.

[@zacharywampler563]

When the guy in tight pants is shooting better than 99.9% of the people in the comments I don't think you can knock his wardrobe choice.

[@twotwentyswift]

It's obvious that tight pants have less wind resistance judging by his times!

[@roygbiv9074]

Yeah don't knock his pants, my wife has pants just like that.

[@tonymachuca9471]

Zachary Wampler yeah but still

[@joseb.1681]

Those pants are probably slim fit.

[@JoshdaKnight]

I wore some fitted jeans to the range last weekend and I shot like Keanu Reeves. Maybe there’s something to it?

[@Loganb611]

lots of hate in the comments.. probably envious of your speed and abilities. You guys are crazy fast - nice work. enjoy your videos too, nice high quality productions.

[@evanmarks7912]

Logan Brunson you must be really slow if you think these turds are fast, and as amateur as they are

[@JustinHEMI05]

Evan doesn't have any videos because while Lucas is out increasing his standards everyday, Evan shit posts from his mom's basement because he leads a sad life, and he wants to bring others into it.

[@glockspecific7757]

Na i just hate the extra unrealistic scan bs

[@massey-rn8mq]

I don't care what y'all say, these guys can shoot. They could wear a clown costume and still make hits. I mean it's hard to hate when they're better than me!

[@eduardoespinosa3403]

Way better than many of our law enforcement out there too!

[@chrisfowler6278]

Loved this video. Liked seeing different shooters with different guns running the same courses of fire. Really see differences in gun set-ups and also basic firearm manipulations.

[@Spooky130]

Man...I love the weapons handling and the marksmanship!!

[@kylestewart4444]

Man I'd love to have access to a range like this

[@sheepdogoutdoors7006]

Man I'd love to have access to friends like this

[@robertloewen854]

Out here in Arizona just find public land in the desert and set up how ever you want! I actually saw guys doing driving - exit shooting drills.

@Erwan Compes cries in Florida lol.

[@evoben24]

I’m from Southern California and we go to Barstow to shoot for free

[@mouthbreather280]

Chris Z. Cries in Canada. Approved ranges only for handguns. Not just any old rural area.

[@rajinbin]

Bro those reloads are on a different level.

[@_maru_MARU_]

Tight pants Tighter groupings

[@whatfreedom7]

bk2MARU1 that’s my problem! Damn it and all this time I thought I just sucked.

[@RekzysTheTitan]

bk2MARU1 soo, that’s why my rifle wont print any groups. I only shoot without pants on.

Next time these boys will try yoga pants

[@zealot777]

They might be tight pants but at least they aint skinny jeans!

[@codyjohnson3893]

I'm 100% envious of their abilities.

[@hossv1147]

Loved the style of drills. Enjoyed watching the friendly competition heat up.

[@Archivedcontent]

These are some excellent drills. I'm going to start doing this type of work to improve my pistol skills. Also, the targets on your website that you offer for download are excellent training aids. Keep up the good work !!!

Man, T Rex is freakin legit!! Great shooting man! I wish there were somewhere close to me to practice like this

[@jamiesloan5902]

Their times on some of these drills, are almost TWICE as fast as mine are. LOL PHENOMENAL shooting.

[@liljackypaper]

I love this videos. You guys really shred out there. I watch these before I go to the range it gets me pumped to shoot! Also, the actual footage/editing of these videos is some of the best I've seen online. Great work!

[@jamesregan6678]

Jack Casey I heard that they actually slow down the video speed so it can be seen by us mere mortals.

[@robertloewen854]

Loved this so much!! Thanks for giving me something to work on!!

[@Jwick1518]

You guys are bad ass! No joke. People don't get how much training and responsibility this takes.

[@bp516]

The press checks kill me. LMAO

[@cockerrocker]

Bob P every time I ask someone why they do this, they get really defensive. I just don't get the post shoot press check.

[@xomanowar42]

cockerrocker, it's to check if the slide didn't lock back on the last round. So when you fire again, you don't look like a jackass with an empty chamber.

[@cockerrocker]

xomanowar42 well, before we get into another long, drawn out circular argument about this, let me just state that after your course of fire is over, whether or not your chamber is empty is irrelevant. I'm not critiquing any shooting ability or philosophy, merely making an observation on something that is done only during competition drills. That's all.

[@xomanowar42]

cockerrocker, so reloading is irrelevant?

[@cockerrocker]

xomanowar42 I think I clarified what was irrelevant and why.

[@nicjac27]

Love your videos, you make and sell some amazing products. I hope to one day once time and money allows to be half the shooter you are and maybe as good:) the only nit-pick I have and I know you're a very busy guy but remember this is KZbin, your videos can be as long as you want them to, there is no time limit. Thanks for all the knowledge you share and for the great products you have brought to the industry. I plan to get a Raptor holster to wear at the 3 o'clock when my CCW permit comes thru and when I get rid of my gut in the front I plan to transition to a Sidecar.

[@TREXARMS]

We'll have some longer videos discussing products in depth. Don't worry. Perhaps some training stuff as well. :) Thanks!

[@nicjac27]

That will great here more in depth about the products you sell, make and use and I'm not going to lie I'm really looking forward to some training videos. Keep up the awesomeness. God bless.

[@kamelbougoufa1260]

I'm a soldier and I work as a shooting coach and I have a lot of trainees in European countries but there are things and molecules that I learned from you but I do not understand English but I use the translation and I honestly say a high standard. ......my name is flicha

[@michaelboscarello9803]

Wow. Just reading some of the comments on this post. I haven’t watched many of your videos but it’s obvious that you’re an experienced shooter. The drills were cool to see. It’s never a bad idea to know the condition of your firearm before you holster it. I don’t get the press check comments either. Only critique I’d give this video in watching the training is after each course of fire, there are no scans for other threats before you holster. The gun is being put away too fast. Get those scans in, it may save your life.

[@iAmNyC718]

Them boyz bad ass with them tools

[@justinm.791]

Badass! I dig how flat those pistols shoot, how about some vids on what you carry and what you've done to them?

Dude ur channel is incredible! U need to make a shit ton more vids. Maybe shorter vids but spread out over an amount of time , if ur short on time. Anyways awesome vids and great shooting!

[@kscarter1825]

good vids...don't worry about the haters

[@XLBAORIDER]

Can we take a minute to appreciate the camera man? He's doing hella cardio

[@Gunnypauly73]

That was great shooting.. Jerry Miculek said, to be good, you have to be the 1st one @ the range, and the last one to leave. You guys are good ! Keep it up!

[@robertevans3173]

These are helpful. As a novice shooter standing in the corral and shooting paper has lost its polish. With these drills it helps.

The El Presidente, without the turn, is called the Vice Presidente. I prefer it. GREAT drill, as it covers pretty much everything. Well........ Not everything..... I need to practice shooting "on the move" more often. Oh, I just wanted to say that you guys obviously work VERY hard, and it shows dramatically. Outstanding display of gun handling skills.

[@DESERTDIPL0MAT]

Fantastic spot for drills. Had to do a double-take when I recognized it. Thanks for the vid.

Great shooting guys. But why all the press checks?

[@muddyjaketv261]

The two greatest pistols ever created head to head!

[@nathanstrange168]

Can anyone come up with and present to me why there would possibly be any reason to press check after you shoot a course of fire??... Especially when you don't even reload before re-holstering...

[@joshuafreeman4459]

For me personally it's because of two instances that have happened to me 1. I overrode the slide stop and the slide didn't lock to the rear on a empty mag. 2. I was shooting support hand only and depressed the magazine release enough to not release the mag slightly and not chamber the next round. I caught it on a press check. Also a good reason is your slide stop might have broke and it is not locking the slide to the rear.

[@cockerrocker]

Joshua Freeman I have a couple of questions for you. 1) If your course of fire is over, is there any reason to check for a round since it is over? Also, aren't you going to load and check again anyway for your next run? 2) Do you think it is ingraining bad habits to immediately pull your gun back and drop the mag after firing? Just curious.

[@joshuafreeman4459]

cockerrocker why not do it? I just gave two reasons why it's a good idea. Maybe that depends I do not unload the gun after an exercise. So I'm not sure where you got that

[@cockerrocker]

Joshua Freeman to answer your question; because it serves no functional purpose. Here's what I mean: When my course of fire is over, and I do a press check, I'm going to get one of two results; either I see brass or no brass. If I see brass, I'm not going to shoot again, so it doesn't matter. If I do not see brass, and assuming I have another mag on me, I'm not going to reload to leave the line am I? Either way, to get ready for the next course of fire or drill, I'm going to reload and press check anyway am I not? To me, it just seems like "something to do" after a drill/exercise, but really has no applicable purpose. My second question was in regard to the actual video. I question why people snap their guns back immediately and drop the mag right after a shoot. It just seems tactically unsound.

[@nathanstrange168]

cockerrocker In regards to the press check at the end... I don't think it is truly needed, but what Josh is saying makes sense. If you're serious about shooting you want to train as if your course of fire was an actual engagement. In which case even if you are not going to shoot another drill immediately you want to make sure your firearm is in a condition that is ready to fight before you reholster.

[@derekfrymire]

Loving the videos you have done so far! Just curious, what recoil spring are you running in those Glocks? The slide appears to run slower than normal, could be an optical illusion with the red dot though...

[@UncleFjester]

Hey Lucus, what is it I see you and another doing after your last shot, ya'll reach for the slide and rack it back about 5/8"? waht are you looking at and why?

[@blackirongunner]

great video. thanks

[@MADMONEYCOLTON]

@T.REX ARMS, Question, for the 50, 25, 10 drill whenever that third round is fired and before or as you are running do you operate the safety on your pistol? I do for rifles, I just can't tell if its done on the handguns.

[@TREXARMS]

Glocks don't have safeties. So just finger off trigger.

[@MR1337SKI]

How am i just now findinding T.Rex Nice work Shoot like that...press check all you want man!

[@RichardTuckman]

Gosh. Who has such a world class range set up like this?

Very nice! Is that a private property range area or public land? My backyard range is nice but I need space like this. lol

Oh man all these drills while moving made me wonder how do rifles compare to pistols in terms of speed. And if Smg's have anything on the rifles when it comes to doing something speedy or fire in bursts/fullauto.

Man o man am I jealous. Looks like a ton of fun! Do you guys shoot at a private range.. private property? All of the ranges im familiar with around me are static.. sit at a bench and shoot rifle, stand at a bench and shoot pistol. I reside in MI..lower peninsula. Somebody throw me a bone, I need to try this.
