Very cool drill. I like how you do mention putting rifle on safe when transitioning to pistol.

[@APEAcademy]

Good drill Kyle. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@slaughterhound8793]

One of the best drills, because there is no way to tell when circumstances might dictate that you have to fire from your weak side. I could tell he had a hiccup on drawing the pistol that first time, just goes to show we all have to practice the fundamentals constantly, and even then there's always a chance that one can make a mistake.

[@Carlojonj]

i love that VTac shirt great video!

[@hk53nld]

very nice drill kyle i do like to see an u depth vidio about your belt and gear setup

[@leadpersuasion]

Nice drill!

[@adqak503]

Great drill. Concerning your holster I know you noted its a WRS but I'm curious what attachment platform are you using. I prefer the single leg strap as opposed to the double but all I can find on the Blade Tech site is the double platforms.

[@tl43]

Hey Kyle, so years ago I was taught with multiple targets to move down a line, left to right or right to left, one round each then when you get to the end of the line he gets two then move back the opposite way giving the rest a second round and then you move into your assessment and follow up rounds is the threat is still active. The idea was to get a round into each of them quickly to buy you time, because they are drawing weapons to engage you or are engaging you. What benefit or purpose is there to engage one target in an incapacitating fashion, then the next then the next when you're giving the last one roughly 4 good seconds to engage you? Just curious, especially because the guy who taught my instructors was also a unit guy.

The man!

"Speed does count in a gun fight"..............You should put that on a shirt.

[@jpbernie72]

Great job!!! You rock!!!

[@1984tactical]

nice drill

[@dillydoor]

why do you prefer 40 over 9mm? i was told a higher mag count, less recoil and almost same stopping power made the 9 much better? thank you for your time sir

[@503airborne]

Stopping power is a sort of made up term. They have similar energy (joules) transfered into the target. More rounds is better, but so is a bigger projectile. The .40 just happens to be a halfway mark between more ammo and a larger round. That's why it's referred to as the compromise round and why you'll see a lot of CAG guys using a G22 for their direct action side arm, and a G19 for their secret squirrel operations when concealment and more rounds might count.

[@randallvillanueva7242]

Viking Tactics, Inc. what holster is that?

[@joseph291]

Why are the targets always so close? Is it because of CQB. Inner city drills?

[@haboob308]

Can't wait to try this out in the desert. What holster is that for your M&P?

[@Airborne08]

From the looks of it he's running a Blade-Tech WRS Level 2 Duty Holster with Tac-Light on a D/OS (Drop and Offset) Tek-Lok Rig.

[@haboob308]

AirborneVet 2008 Thanks for the reply! And thanks for your service.

[@CharlieFMJ]

What muzzle device are you running?

[@baileymiller2888]

What hand-guard is he using on his AR?

[@Airborne08]

I noticed the holster for your pistol and noticed it's on a D/OS rig, however I couldn't help but notice the half size drop leg rig you have as well. Just wondering if you cut that yourself and if so, why? Also, why have both at the same time? Looks to be a pretty decent set up though. Thank you and have a great day.

[@503airborne]

The one leg strap allows you to get the holster higher and the strap higher in the groin area. A lot of guys will wear them down their knees, which is not how it's intended to be used. I think Blade-tech sells that, or it could be a a G-Code piece, the make some blade tech compatible gear.

[@Airborne08]

Yeah. I see people all the time with it so low, and I don't see how that's comfortable, it definitely isn't functional. It looks like a blade tech drop leg, only cut in half. I was just wondering cause he doesn't have a holster or anything attached to it. The holster is attached to his belt rig. 

[@503airborne]

AirborneVet 2008 It looks like it's a mod of this www.tacticalholsters.com/product/Accessories/GCA71.html and this www.tacticalholsters.com/product/Accessories/GCA71.html

[@503airborne]

AirborneVet 2008 Or this rather www.tacticalholsters.com/product/Accessories/GCA75.html Then he just removed the strap from the leg mount and screwed it into it, or maybe he has some sort of quick detach mod. It wouldn't surprise me either way, we're talking about a guy that came from a unit that looked at an alice ruck strap adjuster and said "let's build a sling around that".

[@baudelliocharles1318]

I want to try this drill with a cetme c308

[@tojiroh]

From now on, I'm writing my letters to Gun Santa.

[@ronin2167]

Looks like you had an issue on the second run with the safety when you transitioned. If you had an ambi safety you could have just flipped it to fire with your thumb and not had to search with your index. Seems easier to me.

[@hodog175]

Are you running the Banner Brake? If so how do you like it SMG Lamb

[@jng1226]

That would be CSM Lamb

[@runawaygun762]

That would be SGM Lamb.

[@jng1226]

You know I heard that he was promoted to CSM just before he retired, but I guess that was incorrect because he doesn't identify that way.

[@TierOperator]

What sight is he using

[@VikingTactics]

Leupold LCO

[@valentinejules8672]

I need you kyle

[@ulisessalas6420]

Speed DOES count on a gunfight!!!

[@payback_carter]

I see what you did there.

[@charleshung8519]

why do people find the need to close the dust cover before they shoot...? seriously...

[@850spirates3]

Charles Hungry military force of habit

[@fmt5327]

Because when you get off a helo or track it avoids getting dust, sand or other crap in your gun... multiple bangs instead of just one when you want it.

[@slappp6163]

Gun is overgassed, throw a H1 buffer in there.

[@ddiver7908]

It actually starts at 2:11 You're welcome

[@valentinejules8672]

Valentine Jules need your present

[@Excalibur01]

If I can only afford a Salient Arms gun

[@fmt5327]

Why? BCM all the way baby! 1/2 the price just as good. Sock Glock with Warren tactical sights just as good. Imho

[@billyjack2360]

Can I get a good explanation on why it is important to apply the safety on our rifles while in the process of drills, yet Handguns (Glocks, M&Ps, Sigs) that have no safetys are Drilled the same way. Please be cool with the answer. If you think it Through, There should be no difference in keeping the safety off until you are in a low ready and done with the drill.

[@themadminuteman]

+billy jack The safety is integrated into those pistol triggers, as opposed to the AR15, that does not have that feature.

[@AdolfSchicklegruber]

there are no "accidental" discharges...only negligent ones. "ND" not "AD"

[@sandygrungerson1177]

Kyle's transitioning. LOL, sorry had to do it.

[@monroep4773]

Don't look down off target when re holstering you sidearm. Good shooting though

[@joseph291]

From DEVGRU TO DELTA. And everything in-between. Its all CQB. Is this for POLICE or what?

[@baileymiller2888]

What hand-guard is he using on his AR?

[@redneckmalibu1986]

+Bailey Miller its a Troy Vtac Alpha battle rail
