Steve as always very scientific, logical and slick.

I was taught and practiced on your range within the last two years to disengage the safety after target identification while raising the rifle to the target, and before gaining a sight picture.

I have had Mr. Gilcrest for a conceal;ed carry class, And I hope i'm fortunate enough to have him as an instructor for a rifle class someday!!!

Glad to see another major training organization promoting the use of the mechanical safety on AR platforms during weapon manipulations and pistol transitions. Too many people out there still promoting "pre-selecting" the safety at the start of a deployment and not putting the safety back on until "code 4"...a carryover from the MP5 days.

Carrying your mags, with bullets facing rearward, mags upside down, saves rotating your hand while drawing the mag. At our local monthly competition with carbine / handgun, its your choice. I favor what Mr. Gilchrist is demonstrating.

Mr. Gilcreast, great drills, I'm looking forward to trying some of those out! I notice that you carry both types of magazines, bullets facing to the rear. I've always thought that made more sense for the most efficient loading motion as I see nicely in your vid, however, I've gotten so much flack from some trainers (not Sig guys), that I use the standard bullets forwards. I'm curious why you choose to carry bullets rearward and how you developed that load movement. Much thanks! Jay

Steve, is this in your opinion the right finger position on the trigger?

Student seeking knowledge, forgive me for asking this, I genuinely want know: why is safety manipulation on rifle more emphasized than on handgun? Thx!
@johnpalish3 жыл бұрын
I understand it is because a rifle will maneuver around the body more often than a handgun considering the handgun will more than likely be holstered

I just don’t understand why if you’re in a gunfight you’re so concerned with putting your rifle back on safe. Also, 6 year old video is the oldest I’ve seen of someone doing the jazz hands safety maneuver. Is this where jazz hands began? Why am I even here I was looking for video on changing out an m1 carbine safety. 👋🏻😂

That seems totally reasonable for most applications, but it goes a bit too far to say, always. During the last 20+ years, I am certain that there was many an occasion where a young GI needed to get that safety off and start engaging before seeing a reticle. Especially in cqb. And many a police officer that needed to get rounds off with pistol without ever seeing the sights/or barrel, even. Ie: stitch drill from contact distance etc... No need to add an extra rule about the exact time. What if my eyes are just above the reddot sights and rounds start coming my way. There is nothing magical about a sight pic that indicates if someone is a deadly threat. What about the SAS guy that took his rifle off safe as it sat on his lap in his veh. He fired a burst through the door into the car next to him (carload of al quaida). The time for him to take it off safe was that instant before he needed to fire, with or without sight picture.
