If you don't want to reload a snap cap every time for your reload drills remove the follower from your mag.

[@anonypersona3189]

I used to do that, but without the follower or bullets your practice reloads will feel very different from the real thing. Get dummy rounds and fill out the mag and you can feel the difference. A full 15 rd mag is what you'll most likely be reloading with anyways (certainly much more realistic than reloading an empty mag without a follower). You'll quickly realize you need much more force to reliably seat the mag into the gun so that the mag catch works on a full magazine. Don't short change your training.

@@worstcasescenarioch Wrong. Natural talent is definitely a factor in shooting and many other sports. I really shouldn't even have to tell you this..

[@cfnquan]

i know i’m late to the party man but you and mojo really inspired me to start “playing with my guns” as people who don’t practice would say. i even sent my mother she’s a new gun owner of the clip where u said that you can tell if a gun owner practices with his or her weapon and she said wow i never thought of that…i showed her how to load her gun once she got one i made her get a m&p shield EZ 9mm and it’s been laying in the box for over a year she has not touched it at all…and we just came back from the range and yea

[@ThePreacherProclaims]

You sir are a teacher. A good teacher. I am impressed by how much information - even rudimentary information you pack into your presentation - as if it were the most important information anyone could obtain. Well done, and yes I learned a lot.

[@GarbageDanks]

A lot of the major outlets are going to receive their ammuntion orders in September. I just hope prices drop back down. I don't even like going to the range anymore. Ammo is just way to expensive right now.

[@misterwaffles18]

How do you know when they're going to receive the ammo?

[@TeachAllNations]

That is why I bought a Ruger 10/22. Now when I go to the range only go through 50-100 rounds of 9mm. The rest of the time I enjoy shooting my .22lr.

[@carsonhunt4642]

Most think ammo prices won’t go down til after the election. And if Biden wins, then add few extra months to that.

[@tackytrooper]

@@carsonhunt4642 If Biden wins every site will become Cheaper Than Dirt overnight and still be sold out within hours.

[@carsonhunt4642]

tackytrooper I shouldn’t have said price, as I was only referring to demand. And yes correct, as we both agree, if he wins, demand will remain higher than ever for a few extra months.

[@knndyskful]

This makes me feel better about “playing with my guns” I’m super careful bc I’ve already had a negligent discharge but I didn’t realize it counts as dry fire

[@venomea]

Press checking a bazillion times causes a huge scar and you will do it in times of stress bad idea

[@joedeleon1189]

Someone said sometime ago, there's only 3 types of gun enthusiasts: Those who had a negligent discharge, those who will and the lying ones... and yes if you do them properly, they will count as dry fire. Sort of... Ask me how I know.

[@dakotaclement7751]

So in Alabama you are allowed to open carry a pistol at 19 with no conceal carry permit. You can also get a conceal carry permit at 19. You may not be able to purchase a pistol or the ammo until you are 21 but someone can legally buy them for you.

this guy may never been in combat before but he sure is a great teacher. appreciate it.

[@russ_vee_jr4199]

A very detailed video with great explanations of the whys and wherefores of each of the many functions involved in presenting your firearm, finding the wall, and finally, braking the shot on target. With several hundred repeats of all the functions strung together, one will start to develop muscle memory to perform those functions without conscious thought. I will break the video down into a streamlined outline form as a ready reference for practice sessions. This video is a keeper to be reviewed often to validate my written outline and expand it. Thank You Lucas for this outstanding video........

[@eas2252]

Great video! He talks and moves very fast so it's easy to miss. Before 'playing' with your gun, make darn sure your mags are empty and there isn't a round in the chamber. You may notice he repeatedly is checking both throughout his drills. Check, double check and triple check. Keep ammo and full mags in a separate room until you're done. Don't want people getting shot by 'unloaded' guns.

[@DadHub]

Been dry firing for almost 10 months and still learned from this video. Never considered practicing the trigger reset technique you mentioned, moving around, smaller targets... Man, this was a great video; much appreciated! P.S. Are you guys ever going to make holsters for Springfield?

[@dangeles95]

This video is seriously crammed full of pearls. Wow.
