What Is The "Tactical Hitch" And Why It Is Slowing You Down.

Cool guy stuff only makes you slower. This one is the main culprit of making an otherwise efficient draw slower.

[@P3Tactical]

Great stuff! I think this also comes from people starting out practicing that position 1, position 2, position 3 draw stroke with a pause at each step to make sure it’s right, and they just never work getting into that one fluid non-stop motion. So important for an efficient draw!

[@macthesmac]

I think I know who you are talking about 😂😂😂. Got over this before I knew it was a deal. Using what you said about stance. Why have to get ready to move when you can be ready to move. Why draw through steps when you can just put your dot on target. Good philosophies going on here!

[@thedrunkenchefs4577]

Just ran across you on youtube. Really like your perspective. Thanks.

[@StealthJackson12B]

So glad you came out with this. So many people are so stuck on technique as if they are bullseye shooting. When an adrenaline flushes through your system all if it goes out of the window - learned that in the ARMY. You have to remain fluid but get rounds into your target to slow down and ultimately stop your threat. Great job and keep these coming!!!

[@KaiYullT]

The "Check it out I got a gun. . . Here it comes!" line made me laugh so hard

[@Steelcityreece]

I found this grip much easier to manage

[@derekpuzzanghera820]

Guilty! Glad you caught that this weekend.

Ron Avery has a video floating around addressing a cool guy and his cool guy hitch he learned from head cool guy. As Ron put it, you can use that IF your presenting from behind a chair or something, that’s ok. Ron has a sub 1 sec draw and shot on target....from a the 3 o clock holster.

"round out those edges" - Love that! Thanks!

[@jljlwoo]

Chris Costa is the name!

[@bruinranger13]

Dude this helped me so much when you pointed it out at the sage class.

[@dougm7737]

Great video and tip!! Appreciate you sir!

[@appliedperformance773]

You could call this the Instagram hitch also.

[@M1911jln]

I’ve found that the hardest thing for me is to eliminate bad habits. Once you start doing something wrong, it is much harder to start doing it right.

[@seanoneil277]

A great ski coach I had maybe 20 yrs ago told me, "many people say practice makes perfect. WRONG! Practice makes permanent!" He then told me that engrained bad habits are far harder to un-learn than new habits on a fresh foundation. Over two years, he helped me un-do a lot of self-taught mistakes. And that, honestly, was just the start of my education. The same principles apply to any movement, whether it be repetitive motions at the job, fundementals in a sport, or any kind of learning. The bad habits are hard to break -- and you need to clean the slate before learning the newer, better habit. I took a 2-day RDS class with Scott in Aug '21. He's a fantastic teacher, right up there with that ski coach I mentioned above.

[@pharmdaddyd2006]

Great video thanks….what is your EDC gun? If you don’t mind saying

[@ghostwalkerairsofttech1947]

I see guys do the same shit with rifles...it comes from watching too much tactical youtube.

[@markk7509]

The Judi chop!

[@amo757]

Didn't realize I had a hitch until I saw this. Very helpful tip, thank you.

[@jgarcia411send]

Thanks for the great tips! I will try this on my next training day at the range! 👍

[@SteaminPile]

Did the name rhyme with Havis Traley?

[@colbyc.6698]

It's called a judy chop bro

[@socomelite1]

the force is strong with this one

[@ecalzo]

Nice and simple info here.. but effective

[@wmtruelock]

I just recently found you and I am so much better for it, thank you for the straight forward no bs help.

[@DavidLee-qe8fq]

Only guy that I can think of who is well known (for you to mention without naming) and choppy(oppose of smooth) is Chris Costa! His movement looks choppy and fast, but slow in actual time.

[@andrewgutt276]

Thank you so much for throwing that holster company out there. I have been looking far and wide for a ready to ship holster that is made how I want!

[@Darkside540]

A certain person with a beardfrom the coast guard comes to mind for the "tactical hitch." They have the worst and slowest draw I've ever seen. Lol.

[@Tinker.Studio]

Costa

[@LookingIntently]

Can you include a link in the description to the following (and even previous) video(s)? Thanks!

[@scdave100]

More common sense truth!

[@WDLC1911]

Awesome video, brother. I need to take a class with you.

[@RabidMortal1]

Great advice! Curious to know what your current feelings are on Roland special-type guns?--I know you were rockin' one for a while...

[@GIO_RUBBLE]

good talk ...thanks!

[@chanciemain4717]

its wild how much ive learned it 7 minutes

[@RedRiverTacticalOutdoors]

Why not use that off hand thumb to apply pressure on the frame to add more recoil control? It’s just sitting there doing nothing anyway

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

1. It’s useless because it is below the bore axis 2. Apply side pressure can bring your sights off to the north south 3. If you watched the video not sure how I could get more recoil control.

[@RedRiverTacticalOutdoors]

@@ModernSamuraiProject Your recoil control is great. I was just saying might as well use it since it’s doing nothing else. I can see how adding side pressure could push the sights off however. With the Glock frame being slightly wider than the slide My thumb can put a lot of pressure downward to help control recoil and that’s exactly where the bore axis is not very much below it if any. Great videos also.

[@battlegroundone]

@@RedRiverTacticalOutdoors take 1 of his courses, you'll thank yourself.

[@RedRiverTacticalOutdoors]

@@battlegroundone oh I’d love too. I’m not bashing him at all. I think he is a great instructor and knows his stuff. I was just asking a question.

[@deank5649]

LOL the God father of the IG/KZbin cool guy Cory himself hahaha

[@colbyc.6698]

I have Been using phlster since Jon was down in the dungeon

[@novalelapena6170]

I would love to see a video of the mechanics of piston weapon light activation and how it affects your grip, if it all. Really appreciate this video series

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

Activiate with support hand thumb. Easy.

[@cedartop1]

Shew, dodged a bullet there. I thought it was going to be a story about you asking a guy why he wears his gun in a certain spot.

[@anthonycook2325]

go ahead and drop those former Magpul video instructor names. we wont tell lol
