As someone who practices gun safety, and a long time gun owner, i love these vids. They are informative and delivered in a calm, non- "im a Navy SEAL guy" manner. No matter your experience , getting these reminders and tips is great.
lol had a macho guy at our local range he would rack slides in the rental guns just to make it known the store was quiet. someone turned in a rental the mag would get forcefully stripped and tossed onto the floor. then take the gun twirl it around like a baton at a highschool homecoming football game racking the bolt or slide multiple times. then end by tossing the gun on the rubber lined bench behind him usually bouncing off the cork board wall onto the floor to join its magazine
I know it's obvious to most of us, but for new shooters it might not be. A reminder that the pistol IS loaded and can fire after releasing the slide and taking the magazine out would be helpful. It's easy to think when the magazine is out the gun is unloaded but of course it's not, because you just loaded the top round into the chamber. Not every newbie understands this.
Good video, thanks!
Agreed; awesome video-- I'm a fairly new shooter myself and if I was explaining to an even newer one, I would include those simple words: "When you do this, it IS loaded and ready to fire."
THis is why I prefer manual safety in addtion to some other safeties. You can't be too careful.
This was the clearest😅 understanding of both stance and grip that I have yet listened to from anyone.
It's good to have basic firearm training, as there are many new owners and proper gun handling is important.
Super helpful! Great instructor! I love how you slowly talk through every detail. I was able to physically do this myself, following along with the speed of the video, without having to replay at all. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you, these basics are very valuable.
Excellent for new owners. CZcams is a good resource for those wsnting to carry but lack knowledge and competent friends or family
Love these videos. Very simple and shareable.
Thanks so much!
Great training video how to +1 Julie. I know I love too do this to my M&P9 2.0 metal. So far in the week now after two full weeks of learning the pistol with dry fire training. I love! the pistol. Buying the Competitor at the end of this month. Happy new year to you, your family and friends and EVERYONE at Smith&Wesson.
great video..thanks. Straight to the point. Well done.
Thank you I love this video, explained it so well
This was very helpful, Thank you so much
Excellent demo, I’ll save it and keep my pistol in the holster for safety so as not to accidentally squeeze the trigger when placed inside my car, iwb, owb, or inside the off-body carry because it’s cocked and loaded. Great for quick ready action. Thanks👍
The first month I carried, I did not keep a +1. Now, I even do it at the range!
Thank you for your videos Julie.
Thank you for watching!
@@juliegolob Julie, I have met you numerous times and I want you to know none of the corrections I have commented on are directed at you. You have given me wonderful advice on my shooting and I am only trying to add for the beginners. Thanks for all you have done for me and others.
@@shooterqqqq No worries at all and I don't take it personally. If anything, it just makes me want to improve. This was my info, my presentation 100% and there are always things to make better. Thanks for watching and supporting the effort.
Awesome! Those red bullets are getting more and more popular!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Federal Syntech CARTRIDGES. No lead to handle, less lead/copper fouling and 150gr to boot!...
Thank you, young lady
Thanks. First time I have understood how to do this.
Me too.
It’d make a lot of sense to say if your pistol has a safety to turn it to safe.
Bro literally just keep your finger off the trigger
Good information
Great vid
Thank you
nice job
Mag loaders are awesome.
I might have sold a double stack 17 rounder if it wasn't for Uplula loaders. Gold standard.
Shared! Thank you
You rock, Richard!
Julie Golob Not me you’re the one that rocks. I appreciate everything that you do young lady.
If you have two clips you can use one to feed the single round then the second full one
Smart idea!... Especially with low capacity carries. I have a 8+1 Shield w/ 4 mags. At the range, I use the 4th to +1 the other 3. Also keeps track of how many rounds of 9 fired by counting the 4th mag. bangbangbang!
This is exactly what I do. No need to set the firearm down.
After watching this video, be sure to check out a video on how to safely carry with a round in the chamber. This video does not mention whether the intention is to immediately fire the mag at a shooting range, store the firearm in the home, or carry it in public.
I figured that but thanks
cool shirt
Is it not possible to load the +1 manually through the ejection port? Like drop 1, release slide, slap full magazine in? Guess I'll have to test it at the range cuz every video is showing it like this. Idk if it's just easier for beginner or what. I'm just trying to be efficient lol
There's a term for this, but I can't seem to recall what it is. In competition, you just switch the magazine with a full one. Perhaps someone can help me out.
Tactical reload
@@PTPGun that’s not it. It’s not a reload. You do this when making ready so you have the +1.
Where do I place my trigger finger during the loading process?
OFF the trigger....!
My magazine dosnt lock when i have a +1. Anyone know why? It just falls out and dosnt click in.
She did say that it is often more difficult to seat the magazine with a +1. Have you tried really slamming the magazine in?

S&W M&P SHIELD guns are not designed to be able to press the slide with you finger to chamber a round. It is wayyy too hard to push. You need to rack it to chamber the round. A S&W representative should know that.
Are you referring to the slide stop/release? You can absolutely use it to send the slide forward. I do it all the time in competition and in life on all my semi-auto pistols. Its often a better way than pulling back on the slide for new shooters because they have a tendency to ride the slide forward, slowing its momentum and potentially cause the round not to chamber properly.
@@juliegolob
I hesitate to comment because this is a controversial subject, and your credentials are obviously impeccable. However, you do have a competitive shooter perspective. I on the other hand am an LE instructor and S&W certified Armorer so at the risk of stirring this up I’ll give you my perspective.
First and foremost, as the video says, the Safety and Instruction manual is the primary resource for information on a particular firearm. There you’ll see on S&W pistols that this lever is actually called the "Slide Stop" and although it will function as a release, that's not what it's called or really how it's intended to be used for normal operations. Again, in the manual you'll see S&W recommends that you pull the slide all the way to the rear and let it go to release the slide to load the pistol.
I've had this discussion before and I checked the manuals for Glock, S&W, Colt, Browning, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Kahr, Beretta, Walther, Remington, Springfield, FN, Taurus, and Kimber (then I got tired of looking) and they all call it either a Slide Lock or Slide Stop, nobody calls it a "release".
It is very common for competitive shooters to use the slide stop as a release. So, I understand and don’t disagree with your perspective. Combat and Law Enforcement shooters on the other hand, almost exclusively use the rack method. One reason is, slap-rack is the primary immediate action for a malfunction, and promoting a single method for moving the slide will embed in the subconscious faster and stronger. Learning to rack the slide when loading helps embed the same method needed for clearing malfunctions. particularly because most people load more often than they clear malfunctions. If beginners are having trouble riding the slide (I’ll admit a very real issue) then best to fix that problem and fast, before they cause a double feed when trying to clear a simple failure to fire, in a gun fight.
The pro's and con's will be argued as long as there are shooters, I'm sure. These are just my humble observations.
Thanks for the video, it’s great resource for training.
the slap-rack for malfunctions is a great point to also train chambering a round by pulling slide to the rear and releasing fully letting spring do all the work with zero guiding. Also, using the slide lock to release the slide chambering a round is a finer motor skill to do in a high stress situation vs grabbing the slide pulling to the rear you have larger surface area to grab and dont need to even look to do it. Yes, you can train to use the slide lock to chamber a round but i would argure for the extra millisecond it takes to manually rack the slide is worth it in a high stress situation and is also how the manufacturers intended it to be done. To each their own as long as you TRAIN and do it the same consistently every time so it is ingrained in muscle memory
@@pacmanjones5625 Agreed, psychologically and mentally speaking, the fewer distinct actions to learn and perform and remember, the better muscle memory will work in a high stress situation. Great video though: I'm new and this taught me how to do it, thanks.
All semi automatic handguns are designed for that device intended to lock the slide to the rear, not to be used to release the slide
Unless you own something like a beretta m9 then you can just put the mag in and put one into the top then release the slide
On a Glock it will cause the extractor to bend out further than it's designed to which causes extra wear and tear on the gun. I'm not sure about any others but I'd imagine it's a similar issue and is a reason why most instructors I've seen teach it this way.
Nice. I'd like to check with the manufacturer on this ammunition. Is this round okay in my 45 Compact Shield, single stack, Buffalo Bore +P, 255 gn, Hard Cast, FN @ 925 f/s ? I see the home invaders run away bears continue to charge after being shot.
Those rounds are not designed for self-defense. They’re designed for target training. They have a synthetic outer to reduce the amount of fouling in your firearm during training.
I am told you aren't supposed to keep around in the chamber while storing because it may go off and kill someone. This video is missing that safety note.
Seriously..!!
Cartridge, not bullet. The cartridge is composed of the powder, primer, bullet and case.
Round
You have big hands
A beautiful woman in a smith&wesson shirt. Ill watch that anyday. Nice syntech ammo. Thats all i run in my guns.
Appreciate the compliment and yes, I love Syntech!
@@juliegolob yw
When the slide is locked to the rear, you can just put a round in the chamber by hand. And then insert the magazine.
It's a safe and reliable way.
That is a type three double feed malfunction. Beside that if you place a round in the chamber and then close the slide, it puts too much stress on the extractor shortening it's life and reliability.
I just don't feel comfortable doing that. Feels like I'm gonna get my finger pinched in there!
@@shooterqqqq if you watch slow motion videos, you can clearly inspect that that once the round is chambered then the extractor claw clamps upon the shell, it does no harm to extractor by putting a round manually. These are all just myths.
@@BigThreezy learn to find easy for yourself.
Lock the slide
Point pistol to a safe direction pointing downwards and then throw a round by holding it from the shell and then release the slide.
However there is no solution for a complete peace of mind. Hope you'll get use to it by time.
@@abbasshah1138 Wrong. The cartridge is in the magazine, the slide moves forward and the rim of the case slides upward into the cutout of the extractor. The extractor doesn't bend all the way back to hold a cartridge. The extractor only holds the cartridge with 3-5 pounds of pressure.
"Bullet?" C'mon Julie. You know better than that!
These videos, though informative, miss lots of important points. She should have reinforced that a firearm can still fire even without a magazine. Springfield is being sued over this very thing.
This video seems to be for the ppl who have never shot a gun or loaded a mag into a gun. I'm only 1 minute in, and I'm rolling my eyes, shaking my head & my brain is itching ... good gawd! If you need this kind of info, you don't need to be handling a gun! Common sense goes a long way ... too bad common sense seems to be lacking these days! Ugh!!! 🤦♀️
Everyone has to start from somewhere. The United States has seen a boom in gun ownership and these videos are necessary and informative. There's a single mom somewhere who just bought her first pistol to defend her kids who hasn't had any training. There's an elderly woman who has been recently widowed and is now using her late husband's gun to defend herself. This is for them and many other's. Not everybody grew up using guns. I know I didn't. My father passed away when I was 7 and I lived in a single parent household with ZERO firearms in a terrible area.
It's not common to be uncommon.
As an instruction to begginers, it's monumentally irresponsible for you to instruct and recommend + 1 mode. What were you thinking? If you're arguing it's a proper way, you should not instruct. I personally don't advice this to even experienced hand gun owners, let alone to novices.
Are the beginners you instruct mentally challenged?
