This guy just owned every gun youtuber. My new fave.
Clearly you've never watched Paul Harrell
Fay King clearly neither of you remember Bob Munden. Guy is a legend.
@@foolspeedahead Bob's not a "youtuber" lol but bet your ass I know him. Even Pat is more of a "firearms instructor" who happens to be on CZcams. All Paul Harrell does now is CZcams. I also happen to think he's the most thorough and scientific guy on this website.
Lets throw in Tony Cowden as well. Not on youtube much, but he is very much of similar mind of Pat Mac.
@@justsomeguy3931
Paul Harrell is cool, but he will be the first to say dont take his word for *anything*
Amen, Finally somebody calls bulls**t on tacticool.
Afrikaaner11 and bullshit too
Nothing is gonna help accuracy and shots on target like staying calm and keeping the heart rate down. All that jerking and turning around is gonna hurt you more than anyone else.
Went to my rifle class yesterday and during the transition to my pistol I did the pull back and scan. My instructor asked me what I was looking at because my threat was in front of me. He also mentioned this video to me so I had to come watch it. Good stuff!
@Romans 13:4 "Your weapon should be kept at the ready and track with your eyes." So just flag everyone around you with a loaded gun while you assess who is a threat and who isn't? Sounds legit to me.
@@REB4444 "Going to get you killed." Your talking to a guy that was in the infantry and has been through a combat deployment and came back alive. You have any idea have stupid you sound to me?
"pulling the pistol back after every shot." That is a scarecrow argument.
@@REB4444 "They didn't teach us to shoot, pause, and take your sights off the enemy after each shot." Another scarecrow argument. You argue like a woman.
@@The_Tradwife Your obvious need to be belligerent and insulting, coupled with your complete lack of any ability to post any other point of view other than "I WAS A VET! I SERVED IN COMBAT! LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I SAY I WAS A VET IN COMBAT" shows you as someone not worth listening to. Try having a rational, adult discussion instead of beating your chest and trying to prove how inferior everyone else is. Most Vets I've had the pleasure of knowing don't pull the "I was a Vet. You know nothing" card like an SJW using the race card. And by the way - I believe the term you are looking for is "Straw man" argument, not "scarecrow." Considering that REB4 addressed the subject that was discussed in the video, i.e., pulling the pistol back after every shot and why that's not a good course of action, I would suggest you are, again, simply being belligerent. "You argue like a woman" isn't worth pointing out except to laugh at and show what an obvious buffoon you must be.
@@TheDoctor1225 "what an obvious buffoon you must be." Says the guy who is wading into a 4 month old conversation and going full beta with his comment.
I like this guy, everytime I called someone out, called an instructor out or asked questions it always devolved into a pissing match; "whats your combat experience, who do you train with, where did you deploy, what school did you go to, how far can you piss, how much can you bench, how far can you run". He hits everything on the button. Thanks Pat
It's sad how prevalent that is in so many other fields, too. I remember encountering that in EMS during my training as a CFR and then as an EMT. You could always tell the difference between people there to instruct and people there to show you that they knew everything, they were God, and if you questioned them, you could count on that same nonsense, starting with something snide like "Well, since I'VE been.....and YOU'RE just training..." You even see it in the comment section here, or in sections on other videos. Invariably, some "I'm Super Vet because I say so and you MUST listen to me!" comes along and that's how it all devolves as the pissing match begins.
Did this guy just make fun of some tacticool bros?
He did....and we have to free ourselves from the institutional inbreeding that he's talking about.
Pat does what Pat wants 😂
yeah fuck demolition ranch, that dudes a joke
EL SCIENCE demolition ranch makes fun of those ppl... “that dudes a joke” yea that’s the point, it’s a joke... obviously
*_TACTICOOL😂_*
I love these video's "breaking the bonds of instutional inbreeding" that's awesome
The best instructors are those who incorporate humor into their instruction.
I would be honored to go through a course with Pat.
"I QUIT!" LMAO!!! I thought I was the only person who gets annoyed by people who go to the range and pretend they are a Navy Seal and are always doing shit they saw in a movie :-)
Don't tell them that they're doing it wrong.
You might save some cop's or innocent citizen's life by not improving the tactifool's skills.
@@doughesson What you do in training, you will do in a real situation.. Everyone reverts back to their training when the shtf..
I have a feeling this dude would fucking wreck people in a bar brawl.
+Brewtus Maximus NO doubt about that!
He got paid to wreck bad guys, and he was very good at it. So, yup. Haha. One bad MFer.
+Brewtus Maximus He's former Delta, & yes -- that is why he was created in a laboratory from a test tube, to wreck people.
Dudes that get into bar brawls are testosterone raging twenty-somethings that are insecure (a.k.a "losers"). I don't think Pat is getting into bar brawls.
Anyone who would engage Pat in a bar brawl is himself a bad smbitch.
He just talking from exp. aquired over long military career.
I'm glad he is on our side.
It's so great to see an actual soldier and not someone who learned "tactics" from PS games.
shut yo mouth
"It's dark and scary" lol I'm pretty sure the dark is scared of Pat Mac... Loving the vids... Glad you guys brought him aboard
FINALLY!!!! Someone that I not only agree with but instruct in the same manner. The weapon follows the eyes!
This guy is as real as it gets. Suck it Cory and Erica
Hey man, Cory learned that tactic in combat! Hahahahaha
bordersoldier --> YES! Nothing is more irritating than those two dangerous gunrunners.
Not to mention most of the time, they're winging their heads back and forth so fast they couldn't see and identify a threat even if one were present.
Imagine the effectiveness of that bobblehead technique after blinded by the flash in the dark and deaf from the blast in inside a building.
He’s a beast!
“Train like you Fight” 👍🏼 &
“Lift Weights the way you may have to Lift Heavy Objects in combat” 👍🏼
This is why I like the strength competition the Marines do. They carey ammo cans and fellow Marines around.
Finally! I’ve waited for years for this silly “snatch n’ scan” fad to end. 10 years from now, we’ll all be laughing at it.
I'm laughing at it now.
Holy crap this man is terrifying.
Which is exactly why people won't argue with him, he gets to be "right" and people end up in trouble for flagging a crowd or get profiled from a distance as "the shooter" in a public incident. Different situations are going to require different tactics. That's why there is a grid showing the questions related to whether the environment is friendly or hostile, permissive or nonpermissive, then more questions over whether the action is covert or clandestine and Pat knows better, but is giving just one corner of that in his videos.
8digitPDX If your booger picker ain't on the trigger who gives a f@ck if you flagg someone. Safety Dan is why we can't train effectively any more. Well Safety Dan and Morons. In Actual combat situations you're gonna get flagged and flagged ALOT. We tell people Everytime we hit the range "We're running wide open just like real life. If you don't like it leave." Gun don't go boom unless someone sticks their booger picker on the trigger and squeezes it. Flag me all day everyday I don't care. Just don't put your booger picker on the damn trigger.
Have you been into gunfights with a pistol? If not...just shut the fuck up and listen to the expert.
RED S7VN you’re opinion is automatically disregarded because you keep repeating “booger picker.” Just say “finger,” it’s less douchy...
Derp- Chuck Norris agrees with you.
Pat hands down is the most practical commonsense "celebrity operator/ teacher". His no bullshit approach keeps his students getting the most out of training.
If you don't know where the all the threats are before the fight starts, you probably have 2 in the head before you clear your holster.
LOL 1:13 friggin' lost it
It seems over the past decade police firearms training is infested with new techniques and gimmicks that showcase the instructor rather than practical training. I've wanted to label this bullshit but never could find the right wording. "Range Theatrics" that's it. Thanks Pat.
It used to be called RexKwonDo
I have 30 years of policing. You hit the nail on the head. Infested! The only thing worse is doing something the same way because we've always done it that way.
Histrionics and Theater are just Useless Bull Shit
I thought Hetfield was on tour with metallica
It took me one year to find the best comment on Pat Mac on youtube. Well done.. HAHA
Funny shit.
Nope,back in rehab
Range is cold put your guns in
BATTERY!.
LOL
Finally, someone was willing to talk about the "elephant in the room" with all this range theatrics that have been around for a few years. Oh crap, no more looking "tacticool" just good ol gun fighting techniques.
TheYankeeMarshal has been calling them tactitards for years.
Regardless of what people say, PMac is a 22 year Special Forces Operator. Stalked more bodies and got into more firefights than most. His training has more ground to stand on than others
20 Dislikes from Corey, hahahahahahahahaah, HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
Corey needs a maxi-pad.
cruzo1981 Bwahahahaha! !!! What a great fucking comment! !! oh god man I'm fucking dying! !!!
One thing that cannot be argued... PatMac is his own breed. Bad ass in all the simplest ways but genuine and true to himself all at the same time. A real world mentor!!!
Yo , Pat. Bro...
I didn't know they casted you as Hellboy till after I saw the movie last night.
Good work man, keep it up.
Such sound wisdom. Pat is one of the best in the biz.
FINALLY somebody notable in the shooting world said this!!!! I love it!
I watch this several times a year.. one, I ... used to do this.. two Pat is the frigging best, cracks me up and is an excellent resource.
YES! That “cool guy scan” drives me nuts!
I'm new to watching some McNamara videos and this guy at first seemed like a tool, after a couple of videos he all of a sudden becomes a great instructor with an intense personality. I really like the rawness and simplicity of his instructions.
DwFritz23 that was my first impression as well. Then I watched an other view my favorite gun channel did with him where he introduced himself as “a regular dude that used to do cool shit” and I was like “he’s got his head straight”. Anymore, I see a guy on CZcams or in a magazine and the first sentence said or written is “Navy SEAL”, I move on. This guy has as or more impressive a CV, but doesn’t bank on the recognition, just lets his information and his personality do the magic.
Pat McNamara is the best.
I love this video. I have watched this 100 times. I think today at the range I will yell “I quit” at the top of my lungs in honor of PatMac
.....I will never do that again.
Hell yeah hits the nail on the head! All these tactical CZcams celebrity's who are training couch dads how to look cool at the range should take this guys class!
I scan and assess mid commando roll and I also change my "clip" at the same time. Maximum points
Pat, I'm glad you make it clear.. "Train like you Fight". there are so many out there doing Range Theatrics... You are awesome.. a real gunfighter. thank you for all you do.!!
Thank you very much! Hilarious. Finally someone that recognizes how ridiculous that is. Theatrics. You used the perfect descriptor. Well done! 👍
This is the greatest video ever! And you are correct, assess with the barrel, not just your eyes. So many tools on CZcams think they have it... some of them are instructors! They really have guys out here looking left and right... what about your 6! Furthermore, say you do spot a threat, he’s gonna fry your back because your weapon is pointed in the wrong direction
"It's theater through institutional inbreeding" 😂😂😂
2020 and this is still one of the best gun-vids on CZcams
LMAO! Pat just pissed off range ninjas everywhere. I can't stand tacticool tools. Alan Kay does the same thing to tacticoolies, and I think it's hysterical. The truth is that most of us are nothing but average joes, just trying to become more proficient with our firearms for hunting or defense purposes, but there are always a few that act like they're training to be an extra in the next Rambo sequel.
Thanks for the info. I’m guilty of range theatrics but that’s how I was trained. I’ll be more conscious of this.
"I QUIT!" LOL
Great video. I get it, too. But hey we're all tactical operators on the internet.
So true. Keep that sight picture in place. Always be prepared for the unexpected. Great video.
I wonder when guys "scan" during training if you stood next to them and pointed a gun at them would the look at you, turn to the opposite side and then quickly realize what just happened and turn back toward your direction which would end up being a fail of the practice. I would never do this just something to think about. I see guys do it on the range and can clearly see they just make the head movements to "just do it" I could be dancing half naked swinging my sling-ding and by the time they realized it they would already have turned the other way.
I've been saying this for a while. it has become a drill that needs to be done because that's what is expected. it has become an administrative move and becoming a scar. it has its place but is just a habit for most.
+Neil Harris watch Sage Dynamics video on follow through and scanning, he talks about this and make some very good points.
You should do that! Not point a gun( that would get you thrown off the range), but whip out your Johnson and swing it at them! 😂😂😂
Helicopter helicopter helicopter!!!
@@ictpilot um point that Gun would get ya thrown from the range too.
He's the real deal. Best advice I've heard in numerous videos.
The Nutnfancy move 😆
This is a very good point. I don't own a holster yet and did that to practice raising my pistol while being aligned with the target. I never thought that I am ingraining muscle memory to take down my gun. Damn. Live and learn.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Did I say, "Thank You?"
I've seen this so many times it drives me nuts, but they get that idea from the Outdoor Channel gurus who tell them to scan their surroundings for additional threats. I get the idea and instruct something "similar" in my classes, the scan is only done after the main threat has been neutralized and certainly not after every shot. That attempt to build muscle memory in that way can get them hurt...or worse.
OUTSTANDING. Why do so many fail to understand. Thank you. I just subscribed after watching.
This has Corey written all over it.
Who's Corey? I love seeing those tactitards lol
How about chris "the fuckin puddle pirate" costa and steve " c cup tits" fisher all over it
Pat makes some good points in this video, but to everyone bashing scanning please watch Sage Dynamics video on Follow Through and Scanning, it is the best explanation I have seen.
Snatchbacks ruin followup, it becomes very detrimental to accuracy.
This is my all time favorite video on CZcams… 😂😂😂 share it all the time…
I always thought the snatch and scan was a joke, I have a hard time imagining anyone doing it seriously on the range
It’s a joke I think that became serious when the wrong idiot got a hold of it and told all his idiot buddies and they’re stupid heads just shook yes so hard it sounded like a box of ammo getting tossed for a a game of hot potato. Lol
this guy is awesome. everything I've ever seen him in is top notch.
Totally agree. That drives me insane. I think it comes from comp shooters looking to see if they finished their targets in the specified time. People using you tube in place of experience have just copied the move and it just keeps getting passed from one you tube cowboy to the next and it wont die.
+LAusmcprep Bingo on that...all of it.
+LAusmcprep I have no idea what competition shooters you have been watching, but little ol' me as just a B class flunkie in USPSA and an Expert in IDPA have never once ever glanced around at the end of a stage looking for more targets. 99.9% of the stages I shot there was no "par time" or fixed time that we had to complete the stage in. The timer is running as soon as it goes beep and doesn't stop until its microphone picks up the last shot fired.
Oh man when you yelled I quit I just lost my s*** like my face hurts Man you made my day .
Stay safe and keep up the words of wisdom ...
There's a guy at my local range that does this. I call him the search and assess douche, because he smirks when he looks side to side like he's trying to make sure and see if anyone thinks he looks cool. I asked him what he was looking for one day and got no reply. Just a frown. Personally I think it's better to look at what or where you'll be shooting.
Method Man instead of calling him a douche, teach them the right way! Reassess the situation and make him an asset instead of a liability
Method Man he probably does the same thing at a stop wondering how many are looking at him pulling his ghost trailer with Dodge mirrors extended.
Grey Shadows that’s not his job to teach strangers. As he said he’s there for range time stress relief. Your comment also assumes the douche would take criticism/suggestions
@@SIUDubFiend not his job but if ure so anal abt it then address the issue. Besides, this guy is doing exactly the same shit looking at others
@@johnwig285 you think some tacticool dude is going to be receptive to a random dude walking walking up and issuing a correction?
if you can take one of Pat's classes you will not be disappointed. a real confidence builder /trainer.
"I QUIT!"

Pat makes valid point on snapping pistol back then surroundings, need to keep weapon on target you might have fire again if target not nuetralized. For some reason instuctors keep pushing snap back philosphy.
Thank you! I love Travis Haley, but he and that... interesting guy he made the Magpul videos with are the ones who really popularized that moronic maneuver.
Yup and people followed suit. We're all guilty of it and now we have to break away from those shackles.
Pat speaks..........we listen. I have the utmost respect for you, brother.
costa and Cory just disliked video.
+Steve C. (Remmy) Costa and Cory crapped their pants
best shoot vid ever . thanks for saying what I think every time I see it
" I quit !!" LOL
Great point. always hear about CZcams training with too many theatrics. This is a great point by a great instructor. "Train like you fight."
Here's what they need to add to they're training, I QUIT!!! Best video ever haha. Rock on Pat Mac! Never understood that whole routine people who are "tacticool" do.
Another day in depression...
*Discovers PanteoProductions*
Omg... Is this... joy?? 🙃
Oh I'll bet this one hurt some little feelings
I actually needed some acting coaching if I continued shooting at ranges with some of these guys. Now I don't. Thank you Mr. Pat McNamara. This is refreshing and real. Here is a guy I could follow.
I've never shot somebody, then looked left and right immediately afterwords. I wonder if the lookers do that with a ma deuce, as well. *CHUNKCHUNKCHUNKCHUNKCHUNKCHUNK* (SWIVEL LEFT! SWIVEL RIGHT!)
I have. But not like they teach. When my eyes go my barrel goes. What's the point of looking if you can't shoot what you see? Pop pop scanning for a new threat over the barrel

Swivel Left squeak, Swivel Right squeak...
LMFAO!!!! 🤭😆😅😂🤣🇺🇲🤙⚒️💪
How he says "train like you fight" in this video gets me every time haha, shit yeah Mac
“institutional inbreeding “. my new favorite phrase 😂🤣
He just says exactly what needs to be said, no b.s. You cant help but love it, thanks Pat👍
"I QUIT!" LOL
Train like you fight. Love that. Should be a meme , on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and posted on the walls of every gym.
While he's got a point, I think we can expand the principle. Not only does the shooting community need to get a grip on the Range Theatrics, we could also do well to get a handle on all the beard theatrics we've got going on. McNamara, James "Clutchpro" Yeager, and Chris Costa all come to mind immediately.
How about fisher as well
@@hungerballistics24 Damn dude. 7 year old comment. Good show.
I so need for Pat to show up to our range...
Uh where can I get that shirt!?
+Grunt Candy www.rogueamericanapparel.com/
+PanteaoProductions didnt see it... ?
+Grunt Candy aliastraining.com/patmcnamaratmacsincapparel.aspx
+Grunt Candy Attend one of his classes...you can get one there along with the most kick ass training you've ever had.
You can't. You have to be an Operator.
"Train like you fight!" Absolutely! My father, who was a pro ball player, drilled it into my head from a young age to: "practice like you play". Words to live by...
Pat reminds me of an extremely lethal version of Chris Farley.
Oh I see it! Like when he gives directions in Wayne's World. "St. Louis, back to chicago and on his way to Detroit." With very specific hand motions.
"I quit"!!!! EPIC!! More Pat, less everyone else!
HAHAHA!! "I QUIT!" I see that crap all the time, I'm glad somebody else thinks it's absurd.
I Know it is Over 4 years since this upload, but Thank You Very Much for This! New Sub!!
Its theater through institutional inbreeding !!!! Love it 0:32
Pat McNamara is my spirit animal!
Tactical James Hetfield?? LOL
Pat, you are the best. Sound logic behind what you are saying. 👍👍👍
I've always wondered why ppl do that dumb little head turn. U would never do that if someone was returning fire. He's exactly right, if your going to do that the gun needs to go with.
HILARIOUS! Thank You, I needed that. I had a party at my farm. Told all my work buddies to bring their firearms. Of course the "New" guy brought his Glock with the barrel compensation and red dot sight. A firearm he spent $1200 in mods. At this point he said he said he hadn't spent even a single mag of ammo through it. So about 7 of us line up at pistol distance. Myself firing my Beretta Cougar 8045F. As everyone started firing at their various targets, I received a shoulder tap to stop and see what "Kenny" was doing. Single shots, (Missed Shots) then superfluous head turning. I had to suppress my laughter and ask "Kenny" to hold his fire and remove himself from our firing position. As with his 5th or 6th miss, he negligent discharge from the "Compressed Ready" position angered me severely.
I QUIT. lol
SFOD for life! Baby. Pat you are THE BADASS!
Pats a bad ass dude. Great teacher as well
Thank you for your continued service TMAC! I look forward to the opportunity to learn from you in one of your classes much respect sir.
Right on brother, I just watched Art of The ..... and I couldn't stop shacking my head from side to side. LMAO, my Ranger brother is gonna love this vid...thank you.
Ain't no one like you. You truly are THE best, Pat 💪🏼😎🇺🇲
