- After we learn how to safely function our firearm, the next step is to ingrain the fundamentals of Marksmanship, a pal calls them "The essentials of Marksmanship". I like that as they are that important.
When we have safe manipulations and the essentials of Marksmanship down, we can then consider carrying a firearm into the world.
We never are beyond training safety, sound manipulation of the gun, and Marksmanship, never forget that, but think about this.
You can do all that well, but if you can't get it out and on target when you need it, none of the rest matters.
Train, train, train your draw stroke. Ingrain it, refine it, smooth it out until you can't fail.
I hope you never need to use a gun in violence, but if you do, I hope you dominate the situation with righteousness, good ethics, and sound practices that get you home to your people.
Consider training with us.

I've been a pistol instructor for about 15 years and I can say this video is excellent. Concise, relevant information presented in a very understandable way. Your teaching experience shows. If you run classes in FL I'd be happy to come train with you.
I appreciate your vote of confidence. We were down in your great state in February. Back again soon
Agreed👏👏 Excelent instrutor skills ! in a very convincing and informative way.
Great video.
Welcome to Micky, he's beyond excellent
@@cyberlycans4191 funny
A very good point I learned is that there is no need to rush reholstering the gun.
Loved how straightforward this whole instruction was. Thank you.
Love this! I equate this to golf. You can play and practice every day for years then suddenly loose interest. Few years go by and you go shoot. You’ll either pick up where you left off OR everything falls apart. I’ve been there several times 😂 . Moral of the story is when you feel you’ve made it, keep practicing.
Slow is Smooth!
Smooth is FAST!
Great Video!
Yessir
Really great, simple, and drama free video Mickey. Nice work.
Excellent instructional video. It's a real pleasure to watch a gun/self-defense instructor communicate in such a clear, concise manner. 👍
Absolutely great, Intel. Appreciate your time & teachings. Thank you, Sir.
Thanx for revisiting the basics.
Thanks this is great information.
AWESOME! thanks!!!!
The statement: speed comes with elimination of waste (I say the same thing a little differently - speed comes when you aren’t making any mistakes or wasted moves), couldn’t be truer! Being in a hurry often results in sloppiness and mistakes and wastes time. Slow down just a bit until your efficiency is near perfect every time and guess what - you will be faster. Very good video!
Speed only appears when combined with precision. You are correct, Sir. Always seek precision.
Over the course of over 40 years being a firearms instructor/coach as well as other skills I learned very early the basis of the saying "slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
Loved the verbal tension release “Whoa!” at the end. I do that too.
Great job!🤛🏼
Definitely needed to see this video. Great stuff!
Real, quality information, and techniques! I'm a fan!
Thanks
Love this video
Good Information Sir
Yep, fast begins as slow and measured. This right here is the thing that should be practiced the most, but is often not practiced much at all. In addition to range and dry-fire practice like this, I end every carry with a draw to full sight alignment(i have a safe place to do so). Nice doubles!
Another good training video
Most excellent instructions. Excellent informative video!
Nice instruction!
As a brand new gun owner who has gone off the deep end, straight into appendix concealed, thank you for the admin check, particularly the trigger guard check and the holster check, looking it in. It relieves a lot of fear inherent in the carry.
Pay attention. Your parts matter. Take your time, be deliberate.
I'm hoping to carry in the next couple of months.
One thing I have learned - some of it is shown here by verifying that the trigger guard and holster are clear - is that there is no reason to rush reholstering the firearm.
That part is not a speed contest.
Great video.
Great video Thanks
Good stuff as always.
You're good stuff
You are an excellent teacher. I wish I could attend one of your classes!
Excellent video, very concise and easy to understand
Very well done, sir.
Excellent video. 👏🏾
Good stuff !
Your recoil control is phenomenal!
Ah shucks, thanks
As a patriot who is about to purchase his first handgun, I really appreciate this video.
Congrats friend. Be sure to watch as many of carrytrainer videos as you can. And then practice practice practice. Be well, stay blessed. Jesus be with you.
Be safe and do right. Thanks for watching

A person cannot practice this enough! This should be a normal practice and train to do it as much as possible. Good video, thanks!!!
Flat out excellent video. You have earned a subscriber
Hey thanks
Smooth draw stroke
Basic but good. Cant go wrong practicing this. I bought a Taurus G3C since it has restrike capability just for dry fire practice and dry manipulation like this.
@@CitizenTrainingConceptsLLCexactly just honing the basics to a razor edge!
The canik, walther, Taurus are the only guns that have a true double action striker.
Most strikers aside from the sigs, use a half cock striker where the trigger pull moves a tiny bit for primer contact safety. Gun jesus says this might be why there's 50-100 cases of police getting a negligent discharge with their signs and not the usual 5-10 instances of bad trigger fingers
Awesome real world no bull training! My instructor would approve, as would one of my other gun gurus, Massad Ayoob.

Your logic just makes too much sense. Thanks for putting training in perspective. I'll use that with my students......great video!
Onwards Mr. Washington
This is a great video
The draw and presentation is so important. I really liked the wave technique from modern samurai project. Helped me in finding the dot and still helps me be smooth and effective. Still working on speed. I have found from never ending practice that certain shirts I own are too long and get in the way of my draw especially if I have my mag extension on mt glock 17. Aiwb my extension/grip will snag on the shirt even if my support hand pulled up. I have to reach way over and pull up high on my shirt and get it out of the way. Getting to my reload was a challenge too because of shirt too long. Practice practice practice every single day.
I've had snags but I can easily just brute force through the snag to free up the gun with a little extra pulling force
Excellent video of a simple exercise that one can do live fire or house train.

Welcome back!
15 year LE here. This is GREAT instruction
Your LE experience has NOTHING to do with it
@@cyberlycans4191 sorry sir I was just predicating my comment on his “”instruction being great” on my many years of training and experience. Thought he did an incredible job.
💪🏽
Our training teaches this..
Honestly, if you can, I suggest people dry rep with what they are wearing for the day. I get that sometimes you are in a rush, or maybe you can't...but at some point, it's good to get some reps in and figure out how certain articles affect your draw. I know that for me, there's certain coats which will add a decent delay to my draw.
PS. When you dry fire, remember to think about your grip. Don't get lazy just because there's no recoil. You don't need to crush the gun, dominant hand grabs the gun as hard as you can, stick your middle finger up and then back down, that should be alright. Support hand comes on to the gun, get meat up against the frame, and give enough squeeze so that the gun doesn't want to shift around. Vice gripping isn't necessary to be fast.
Agreed on the dry practice. I'd add any dry practice of anything, to be of good value, it should be practiced as we want to output in reality.
When I was a L.E.O. we had a two week 14 day pay period & at some point during each pay period I would spend at least 20 minutes practicing drawing, dry firing, & holstering....
My first time to see your channel--I'm coming back soon!
Welcome!!
The answer to the fear of appendix carry with a Glock is pure practice as this video shows.
The real answer is to own a decent firearm rather than an unsafe one.
Very informative and simple. Too many instructors add unnecessary steps. Great video ✊🏻🔫🇺🇸
as soon as you open up a pistol training in FL, im signing up. Thank you sir
Massad Ayoob (MAG) is in Florida and John Farnam (DTI) visits there regularly, both are well recognized instructors.
We shall return
@@markhatfield5621both great dudes
@@markhatfield5621anything in the Ocala area?
@@dmo848 Don't know off the top of my head. Many instructors travel and you'd still need to go to them. Training ain't cheap.
Live fire is great training, but might not be accessible or affordable. You can always do it at home with a unloaded firearm and dry fire.
Yep
But there is no substitute for actually firing the gun
Sir, I've been in law enforcement for 19 years. Never, RE-HOLSTER, until you've scanned for other threats.
Scanning what? My berm? We could have a very in-depth discussion on that tired range-ism. No ninjas or bad guys have showed up while filming.
This is a singular topic for a singular result.
Every experience or exercise doesn't fulfill every training need.
Some things, many things need to be learned and drilled in isolation.
Example.
How to operate a motor vehicle vs driving on freeway or off road or racing.
We need to be capable of understanding nuance, context and what in the actual heck we are looking at.
@@CarryTrainer train in as much context as possible (cost, safety, training constraints, etc). Assessment is supposed to look for important information after defending against the first threat. You can do that even when you're alone. You aren't doing any movement either. Doing both movement and assessment are easily possible, safe to do, within the training constraints, etc.
@@CarryTrainerI think I saw Sasquatch behind the big oak at 2:54.
lol cool story bro
Extra cringe
Great instructions. If a person have time, use your ccw pistol in USPSA and/or PCSL match to reinforce your training. Crap happened during the matches that will teach you what worked or not worked for you. God bless the USA!
One thing you CAN’T train out on the range that i think is MOST VITAL to self defense is situational awareness and ability to retreat. Seems a lot of people who carry are ready to be the hero who saves the day when in reality your best option is to remove yourself from the situation altogether and only pull if there’s no other options. I see a lot of fudds getting gunned down….
Where do you see people being gunned down?
Train new movements or mechanics in isolation until they are ingrained. You can then add other factors.
As for retreating of course we should always seek to avoid trouble.
That said, if you are training to do violence, that's what you must train. Awareness, deescalation, running, etc. Are another training topic
Very solid advice. Reps make best. The 4 steps become smooth and highly repeatable, even under stress, which is what training is all about. Thanks for the excellent refresher.
I wish I had the country to practice, I try to get to the range and have instructor with me
This was a great video. And I was looking for a video similar to this to share with my newbie friend. But not everyone uses appendix holsters. This video would be even better if you would have shown the draw stroke for newbies using a few other carry types, like strong side, behind the hip, small of back, etc. But otherwise, that was a great video.
We've got mountains of them. Check the channel. Every vid can't cover everything.
In our part of the world. Is good but insufficient. We generally practice the reality of hostile threat or attacks. Usually you draw your weapon fire and seek cover whilst assessing your thread and surroundings. Never assume that there’s one shooter! Assume multiple threats whilst taking cover or assuming a less prone position…. This a totally different practice and response…
Drill and learn skills in isolation, until you can perform, then you can add more.
I found you on rumble back when youtube started (and still is) crazy on censorship. I still watch you there but just wanted to say that your videos (and drew editing them) are the reasons why I am confident in my perspective of safety and intelligent defense practices. Just overall perspective of how I view things have been greatly influenced by your talks and interviews, discussions. I want to thank God for you and people like you. I have volunteered myself to the safety ministry at our small church in Sacramento Ca. I am praying that I can have the means to sign up for the upcoming class in Zamora. Being that my birthday is around the same time, I am hoping that I can make it my "birthday present" to myself. Your insight and experience are super valuable to myself and those I wish to live a long full life with. I pray that you and your family are well, healthy, and blessed beyond measure. I hope to see you in class. Your friend M.C.
M.C. we truly appreciate you. I am glad that we can be of service to you. What was passed on to me, is passed on to you. I hope to see you in Zamora.

Great teaching. What holster are you running if I may ask. Thanks.
"not having enough time to train" should be a deterrent. I met quite a few people who should not own a firearm. Mostly the ones who "don't have time to train, or no time to actually learn how to use the damn thing"
Check out the information in the about section of this video
Also make sure that the tire pressure is at right amount of air 😅😅
your one hand draws both from open and concealed carry is something to do in sets with your clothing before you leave for the day, one hand draws are the most important since we may need left hand to block, get someone to safety, go for knife, go for pepper spray or having something in left hand while doing something. a true combat grip is a one hand grip that's not dependent on left hand to complete the grip, a high right thumb up waiting for left hand is not a strong grip, Bob Stasch CPD with dozens of gun fight wins talks about how fast things happen and many times he only was able to get gun with one hand and a flash front sight, he said mostly is was point shooting, so those one hand draws and even some point shooting tuellers drill distance 7 yards and in is good to practice. While at home draws you can keep doing, even if you mastered your draws like I demonstrate on my CZcams videos you still should make it a habit especially for one hand draws, though 7 yards is considered self defense distance on thousands of videos it's more like 5 yards especially for non police and non military private citizens, the context of a private citizens in defense situations has some exceptions to the rule but for the most part can't be lumped in the same research and same collected defense incidences as police and military, that way we get data specifically in the context of a private citizen only
One hand draws are a skill for certain and are part of our training program.
As with any skillset, such as the topic of this video, it must be trained in isolation then incorporated into a larger scope of work. We can always add things. A foundation matters and that's a two-handed draw stroke.
@@CarryTrainer and we are shooting for smaller targets like your circle drills, I see fast guys that can run shooting multiple big steel and paper torso targets and you go up to them targets and notice nothing hit the heart area, real life no drop in blood pressure or minimal, that's like being a fast boxer on a bag but in the ring no hits, it's looks fast and impressive from outside the ring but not in a real fight, it's the nature of every one to want to be perceived as fast but we need a standard and a mind set of blocking out that we have a audience to prove something to and shoot accurate. for example you work on a 4 inch circle say 10 yards, you shoot 3 shots and notice a tight group, then you speed it up noticing them 3 shots are still in the kill zone so still looking good so we shoot faster yet noticing we are not on 4 inch kill zone so we back off the cadence till we get back in the kill zone, like driving a car, we can go faster but we stay on the road knowing our pace limitations similar to dirt track racing up here in Minnesota the guys mentally know their pace limitations to stay on the road
@libra7624 I see one thing that stands out , if I'm shooting a 3in target, that's the target. There is no "kill zone"
You either hit that 3in target or you didn't
This is a problem in defining goals and specifics in training.
@@CarryTrainer by kill zone I mean keeping it in your standard, for example a 4 inch set of circles a goal of staying in that kill zone or your prefence for your drill purpose, I like to stick with 4 inches because it's a vital like the heart or 5 x 3.5 and a index card is a good target to fit for that one, even notebook paper folding 4 times, also a closed fist can represent the heart, a old school way to represent the heart when shooting for groups or 3 round bursts as fast as you can keep shots in the zone and when shots fall out slowing down to get all 3 in that zone, competition targets I don't like much, the A zone is to big, it makes people look fast but the heart put on the paper target like a 4 inch circle I like to do to my targets, hitting that heart and dropping blood pressure and go for a failure drill 2 to heart and one to head, everyone may vary with standards but I like to put in circles the size of the heart and maybe a 3 inch circle representing in between eyes or tape the famous T shape in
@@CarryTrainer Claude Werner draws in a red heart on his targets, he has some funny targets but they look good, he also illustrates gun fights with army men toys as I do from real defense videos to show the tactics or lack of good tactics, I have been doing that since 1995 when I used to subscribe to shotgun news and read incidences, the paper publication reading about defense incidences but when video came along i watched probably every CZcams defense video since 2006 and try to find 2 or more a day to add to my note books on defense incidences also
As someone who has won 2 gun fights with a knife and put people into surgery this is pretty similar to what I do in my knife drills.
Whoa
I loved this. I'ma start asap ..
Been a while. Like your stuff. Always have. Thx. Speaking of stuff. You have some good looking shirts. Your logo/brand is your brand.

2:09 Pretty sure it was one of your videos years ago showing how you cleaned a holster with a sock to really get all the nooks and crannies clean. Use an old sock to clean my holster every month or so.
Nice!
Why not use a wet wipe of a towel
@@jason200912 do it
Most of that weapon check should just be redundant.
If you're at the range regularly, like monthly, with you're carry gun, as you should be,
And if you're cleaning, it every time you get home, as you should be,
Most of those maintenance items are done.
Is it better to draw with you thumb driving it between the body and pistol or set it on top of the pistol?
In a real fire fight everything goes into slow motion or what seems like slow motion and that's when repetition kicks in and all that training pays off. When its over time resumes, it seems like days passed by when it was only a few seconds. To finish carry one in the pipe you will loose every time if you got to rack that slide in a fire fight. I show people all the time we square off and draw at the buzzer they loose every time standing there holding the weapon with a dumb look on their face and their hand on the slide not even racked yet.. Just my opinion. Good vids by the way.
I'd respond with maybe on most or those points.
Stress impacts humans in different ways at different times.
All valid points but definitely not absolutes
Looks like Minnesota
Imma guess Ohio
SOUNDS like Minnesota…the accent.
Question: on DA even in condition 1 would you still holster the firearm especially appendix with no safety or decocker and just rely on your trigger finger as safety?
If it's a DA, decock and safe. If it's a decock only like my 92Gs, then decock.
game changes when it's not steel and has a gun of its own.
Always a fun comment. We don't train cpr on live sick people. You start on a training dummy. You train to prepare based on known best practices. Period.
Nothing else to say about that.
Better to have basic tools than no tools. Thanks for the drill m8, I'm sure you will at least save someone from self-injury if not death.😎👍
do you have to press check if you have a chamber indicator
I like simple. Stuff breaks, it can be dark, etc. Seeing or feeling a chambered round is reliable, repeatable and robust.
Question. The steps shown are correct in the instance of combat and related combat distances. You have typically anticipated an enemy encounter and accuracy at those distances requires aiming the weapon using its sights. However, most conceal carry interactions emerge at closer distances and with less foresight and related permissible response time. In the instances of a carjacking or attempted holdup the perpetrator will usually not be issuing a command at a distance but ver close up - a few feet. They will try to get the jump on you. Do you really need to use your sights and take the time to use your sights at a distance of a few feet? Not really. What should that type of practice look like? One obvious problem is that that type of practice is typically not allowed on a public gun range. But since that type of concealed carry interaction actually constitutes the overwhelming majority of potential gunfights - don't you think it should be both shown and practiced even if, only on the basis of dry fire practice? I think that training in how to respond to a variety of potential real life scenarios is essential. You can't just try to figure that out on the spot based on a single, minority variant.
This is the best foundation that I practice daily, among other things.

Printing was very obvious. 🤪
Another check before you leave the house.
I'm comfortable on the range. I'm not interested in hiding anything during this filming exercise.
It’s too bad that most indoor ranges don’t permit “holster draw and shoot” practices.
You dry fire
I live in the Midwest and get this same shit weather a lot. I try to get out on pretty much every day I have off work so I wind up shootin in the rain a bit. Don't have a lot goin on in my life so it's pretty easy to do that.
Don't make fun of me..I get to go shooting whenever I want to. I'm merely taking advantage of my free time.
And yeah when I practice I always start from the least ready state to simulate what might be going on when I'm not expecting it to happen.
That's not to say I don't fuck up still. I've made some pretty bad draws before where I got ahead of myself and had my muzzle pointed at my left hand when I drew in a hurry. Despite the fact that I get lots of practice I still make mistakes.
Keep practicing boy-o and don't let bad days get ya down. I shoot 10,000 rounds a year and still have rotten days. I just try to make it fun so she doesn't lose her sparkle.
not for me, not a place where I would put the holster
Immaterial to the lesson. Place it wherever it suits you
3.5 disengage safety. Or is Glock the only recommend cc?
Good add. For certain, each type of pistol has nuances. This isn't intended to be an all encompassing discussion.
We did a video a few years back that we cover each type of handgun.
