Beautiful country

[@maxh.290]

Very useful in current COVID days thank you sir

[@KitBadger]

Glad to share it.

[@ChipSpencer123]

Good drill. Thanks.

[@springbloom5940]

I use a 5 rnd daily, with a 25 rnd monthly, for maintenance. Target is a plain sheet of printer paper Daily: 21' 1 rnd cold from holster Dry fire ~10 reps 1 rnd from holster 30' Dry fire from low ready ~25 rep 2rnd from low ready Reload 75' Dry fire *slow* from holster ~15 rep 1 rnd *slow* from holster Monthly: 21' 2nd cold from holster Dry fire ~15 rep 2rnd from holster x2 Reload 30'1 Dry fire from low ready ~20 rep 3rnd from low ready x3 Reload 75' 1 rnd *slow* from holster x10(reload x2) I use these drills as a standard, in addition to any other range training. Often I use them as warmup for more intensive sessions and as an evaluation, to close a session.

[@KitBadger]

Nice man, do you incorporate a shot timer as well? Keep yourself to improving your time?

[@springbloom5940]

@@KitBadger On the monthly and occasionally at the end of the week, yes. As a norm, for the daily drill, no. This drill is mostly about ensuring a first round hit and preparing for a follow-up. I think a first round hit is the most critical and fundamental standard to meet, so thats where Ive focused my maintenance.

[@KitBadger]

@@springbloom5940 right on.

[@ChipSpencer123]

Very practical.

[@thetonycam3944]

Blowback bb gun works too.

[@danielmottweiler]

Good training

[@moodydad]

"if you dont got one... you can just keep thinking you got better" fucking love it lol

[@stansenter2660]

Nice drill, I'll try it next weekend. Here's my low round count(10rds) version I practice now and then: 15yds draw to single head(3×5) shot 2.5 sec par. Miss? Go home(you may only get one chance in real life, done for the day, high stakes? You bet.), good hit? Transition to 10yd target, 4 shots in the pumper (2, 3×5 cards crossed) for recoil management on accurate subsequent shots, 1 sec par, slide lock reload, 2 second par, transition to 7 yd target, 3/4 shots to the pump, 2/1 to face(okay, 3x5 card) 3 sec par. I've only done this 3 times, no timer( a lot of chicagos or mississipp's followed by dammits). What do you think? Oh yeah don't forget the tactical snack check upon completion..lol

[@smokethirteen]

A quarter per shot... wow those were the cheap good old days...

[@KitBadger]

Haha, sad but true.

[@thelastjohnwayne]

Great advise, I know that Lena Miculek also posted a video similar to this one. About how to practice without burning up a lot of ammo. I know a lot of shooters who just burn up tons of ammo every time they go shooting but they are horrible shots, but they think that they are good.

[@KitBadger]

Make those rounds count... :)

[@DesertTactical]

Great video! Good info!

[@KitBadger]

Thanks!

[@heymanmotorsports49]

Been doin this one for years. Great vid as always brother

[@chrismiller6717]

It’s funny to hear you say ammo is expensive...

[@stevbarto]

You just shattered my image of myself tac reloading empty mags like a boss in combat. I will never be the same... Good drill, I'm gonna give it a go, including the snack check.

[@BladeCammando]

THAT SNACK LINE !!!! YES !!!! I LOVE IT

[@KitBadger]

Hahaha. Thanks for watching man. :)

[@mlmperez1114]

The tactical “Woody Harrelson” keep doing ur thing👍🏻 like the vids

[@KitBadger]

Haha, thanks man! I appreciate you watching. :)

[@Maxtowers71]

this has proven one of my favorite drills... helps me focusing on the mechanics without wasting ammo. Thanks for another great video

[@CKinnerley]

Cheeky bench snack stealers.

[@JFP69]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@KitBadger]

No problem, thank you for watching!

[@pescad0]

Now this is simple yet genious

[@KitBadger]

For those with more time than ammo. :)

[@ironsights1809]

Now do the "dirt" poor man drill. The one where we can't afford a pistol so we use our fingers and say "pew, pew". Seriously though; good video. Keep them coming.

[@angelsrr]

That was pretty good. LOL.

[@andreg36k]

One of the best You tubers, thank you for your videos!

[@KitBadger]

Thanks for that Andre!

[@jeffrobinson7049]

I like this. Good practice with low round count!

[@padyakerongbula]

safest way to pick up your magazine, is holster your weapon...

[@andyprairiedog]

Excellent drill. Shooting the 1 to 5 was too costly for me, so I changed it to the 1 to 3........this is great at 30-cents per"up" for me with reman Freedomunition 9mm. Cool holster.

[@KitBadger]

Thanks Andy. I too find this drill to provide a lot of value for the fairly small financial investment. As much as I like the 1 to 5, it costs a lot. :)

[@dudeman5218]

Done this drill today, hadn’t shot a while cause I’ve been lazy, it got me back up to speed on my mechanics. Thanks for sharing

[@KitBadger]

Right on David, I work it pretty often. Saves on ammo... :)

[@corporateworldwokeslave3589]

Couldnt put my finger on it and it just hit me , you look like Robocop !?

[@KitBadger]

I've gotten that before. :)

[@kurtishickey6778]

Wow interesting and informative. Great idea

[@KitBadger]

Right on, thanks for watching Kurtis.

[@2424DMC]

Man you really put some great content out!

[@KitBadger]

Thank you Damian!

[@crunchyknees3622]

Gonna make sure I have... some Lint on my bullets lol

[@KitBadger]

Increases accuracy by a factor of 5...

[@gabrielchcosta]

The mocassin shooter

[@mmpatriot2170]

I’m a fairly new handgun shooter. That looks like a very useful, efficient drill. I’ll be trying it. Thanks. Liked and subbed.

[@KitBadger]

Right on, thanks Mike.

[@ETuss713]

"If you cant seperate the two...If thats where you are on your journey..." The most polite way to say "you're an idiot."

[@KitBadger]

Nah, they just aren't there yet. :)

[@Albertalorian]

Or "Just take your gun back to wherever you got it"

[@sweeler]

anyone got a ID on that arcteryx jacket?

[@Rapture_11B]

Worked great. Im deciding if I should paint my Glock 45 Gen 5 Marine Corps green or not (Just the grip) Or if I should go put the some work on it before I go to San Diego MCRD for Bootcamp.

[@readyme]

A regular drill I work on. Lots of repatriations for only a few rounds. Good stuff. My next step is to buy a timer.

[@KitBadger]

Nice! A timer takes it to the next level. Then you have a solid known to work from.

[@Caughtitoutdoors]

Awesome drill.

[@shadowbannedagain1737]

RAD.

[@KitBadger]

YES. Thanks for watching Sean. :)

[@angusoldwolf295]

Just saw this for the first time today. A little late to the game I guess...but this is an excellent training drill. I will be putting this to use for my short after work, make shit go bang, stress relief/training hour.

[@KitBadger]

Right on, let me know how it does for you.

[@1GUNSQUIRREL]

I use paper plates

[@KitBadger]

Nice, those are cheap and handy.

[@josephpettus8733]

Great video and drill man!!!

[@joshuamcguire2423]

not sure why you looked behind when picking up a mag....

[@KitBadger]

Probably to see if anyone was eating my snacks Joshua...

[@bofeity]

Glad you don't subscribe to the "range theatrics" 😂

[@philcalvello7469]

Is this your own private range?? The problem I’m having is finding a place to shoot and train like this. Shooting club is a pain in the ass to get a membership. And the state park range is 50yds and 100yds . And it’s not fun shooting pistol at 50yds. Are you on state land just out in the woods somewhere?? I’m in PA anyone have any advice on this ??

[@KitBadger]

This was out on private property. I feel your pain Phil, it can be hard. I'd look for some BLM land or something.

[@theiviachine]

I guess I’m poor Bc I always do this at the range.

[@KitBadger]

So do I. :)

[@thejonesy8173]

So been watching a few of your vids since being featured on TGC. I appreciate your mellow/grounded personality. Shooters I enjoy watching like you, Garand Thumb, Whitey, and others are great. You are personable and don't seem always on or robotic. I appreciate the lack of superfluous press checks and neck snapping threat assessment.

[@KitBadger]

Right on man, I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for coming over and spending some time checking out my channel.

[@GibusGang]

My favorite poor mans drill the famous bow drill. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_drill

[@michaelbellinger1363]

Ivan, does that scroll say “Mutha”?

[@KitBadger]

No. One says Jatta and the other Ira. And my boys birth years.

[@jggj9656]

also that tactical belt.it's nice what brand

[@KitBadger]

It is actually part of the AttackPAK system. I have been using their Stealth Pack for awhile, and the waist belt of their pack separates from the backpack portion to be used as a stand alone war belt. I will be doing a review on it before too long...

[@jggj9656]

nice pistol .what brand is it?

[@KitBadger]

Thanks, it is a Glock 17 that I had machined out for a RMR and some forward cocking serrations as well. You can see the other videos I did on the machine work I had done, as well as how I went about painting it. Thanks for watching!

[@TravisJohnLorenz]

What jacket/hoody is that?

[@KitBadger]

Arcteryx Fugitive Hoody... ...made in Canada, and pretty sure they stopped making them a number of years ago. This guy has been going strong for me since 2009.

[@281covfefe5]

👍🏻🇺🇸

[@camarodave6018]

Exactly where are you going to be wearing your holster and rig ???

[@KitBadger]

Contracting overseas...

[@moretacticalthanyou7514]

Nice 👍subbed

[@camarodave6018]

You are not practising a real life situation.

[@KitBadger]

Oh yea Camaro Dave?! Well you're not "practicing" good spelling!
