I served with Jimmy in 10th SFG. He was always a true professional and it shows with this video. Count yorself lucky to get trained by Jimmy.
I was in the 10th from 76 to 83. 3 Bn C Co, ODA 336 and 333. Great video. I teach CCW for Illinois residents and it was refreshing to see him use many of the same methods and techniques I was taught.
Thank you both for your service 😊
All these comments (below) are amazed at how good Jimmy's instruction is - and rightly so - but dude spent 26 years in the Army, and this was literally his job. Conducting training missions for foreign military forces to enhance their capabilities and effectiveness is one of the primary missions of US Army Special Forces.
I'm in 5th. Everything he said was spot on. Especially like that he said it wasn't the way. There are always techniques, just some are better than others.
Ft. Carson, Colorado
The main reason why I'd listen to him is because of the way he ended it: "I'm just letting you know what's worked for me... This is 'a' way and not necessarily 'the' way." He didn't make any proclamation of being the best. The mark of a true expert is knowing that you can know more and always learning.
Good fundamentals…
Very. If someone thinks they are the way, stop listening.
The technique is like a finger, pointing to the moon. Focus on the finger, and miss all that heavenly glory.
Absorb what is useful. Discard what is not. Create what is uniquely your own.

And also he's a frigging green beret, they aren't exactly giving out that title like candy lol
It’s basic military training here, in the USN everything was CQC derived and expanded from there. In the military you have to qualify a weapon based on a specific set of rules under a time limit. He’s teaching those rules the right way.
spent 22 years in the army and the police and this is thusfar the most concise, "easiest" and smoothest "this here is a gun, this is how you use it" ive encountered.
Super models, candy, trick pistols and a guy teaching you how to do it. This is by far some of the best content on YT. 😃
Instructions not clear. Came home with a Snickers, Kit Kat and 6 Baby Ruth’s.
😂😂😂
Remember, it’s reps that bring concepts into practice. Don’t get discouraged, keep trying! 😂😂
Okay, that's funny
The lesson isn't that you missed the target, but to figure out why😊
Thats shooting with a spray gun
Man this is awesome!!! After 45 years of shooting and even teaching shooters it is so good to hear a real pro go through basics to re-establish our base! He's really good at conveying techniques to new shooters and old ones alike! Great video James!
I can add the same comment...but with 65 years of shooting and 50 years of CC...outstanding training...basic...vital!
Pointing with your support hand thumb is *GREAT* advice, definitely gonna practice that every time I draw.
I run my Glock with no sight and aim with my thumbs (I stripped a screw in my mount). It’s fine without a dot lmao. Meanwhile my iron sights P365 is everywhere, really needs a dot.
Just started gearing up for competition style shooting and that's what cracked the code for me! I'm suddenly able to consistently get the dot up!
This guy is gold! Great instruction, and makes you remember every step.
good to have Miss Austria in the video.
She's an "Instagram influencer" - should tell you everything you need to know.
She has a soulless stare...
@@farmerbrown84 To not be silly, wrap your willy?
She’s cute but James is way hotter.
I was thinking Russian but who cares James is hotter
Hooah! excellent brother, thank you for representing the US Army and us Veterans well! They are lucky to have you.
Great video, the best part was the end with him being humble and advising people there are many ways to accomplish the same thing, his technique is what works best for him.
Now I want candy 🍬
Great stuff as always 😎
LOVE the short fast and hurry edit as well.
Candy got married
I love Austria. Been there twice. Beautiful doesn't even begin to cover it.
Jimmy Cannon- if you’re reading this, You may have the cool green hat, but you’ll always be ABLE. Incredible bit of instruction from one of the absolute best.
Great instructions, I see a lot of folks that use a different grip and the isosceles stance, I got my first Tool in 1966, and was a deputy sheriff in the early 80s and 99% of my tools were and are revolvers, mainly the 357-Magnum, and a small center fire auto for back-up, I use about the same grip as this gentleman, but I use a modified weaver stance, THX for posting. 🇺🇸
Brother Deputy from the 80's and started on a wheelgun myself. I'm still in the game as a Personal Protection Officer, and wow, the skill set has really evolved from those early days.

WHOA!!!! Thank you James and THANK YOU Jimmy. Injust a few minutes of clear and concise instruction, my presentation and draw are significantly better. No more wasted time and ammo at the range for me.
This man illustrates everything that makes a great instructor, regardless of context. #1 Gives direct, unambiguous instructions for each of the fundamental steps, #2 Clarifies each of the parts of each action with easy to understand/remember actions/analogies, #3 Speaks with authority, but not condescension, #4 Demonstrates each of the steps slowly and deliberately, while continually calling out each of his actions, in real time, and harkening back to the base actions/analogies, #5 Presented the information in an orderly and timely manner, & #6 Ending the lesson by stating that this is not the only way to do it, but it is a way in which he, in his own experience, found success.
I have not had the luxury of having formal instruction of this caliber in real life. Most of my instruction in how to shoot handguns are from the sagely ex-law enforcement or retired veteran who, while proficient with a handgun, is not nearly as well-versed as Mr. Cannon. It is safe to say that I learned more in the eight minutes presented here than I have in years of reading, viewing, and practical experience.
Bravo Mr. Cannon! Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who want to learn. May you find continued success with your newest endeavor!
While their mission has been rather expanded these days, it used to be that Special Forces were first & foremost instructors for indigenous forces. I used to call them Teachers Without Borders, But With Guns.
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on how to shoot a pistol. I’m definitely pointing to the candy from now on. 💯
Okay, the candy thing was gold. i have never driven with my support hand. And instantly had a good target aquastion using the method. Also, i love how he was not overly pretentious with my way, or the highway simply stated it's worked for him, and not all techniques work for everyone. I have been a largely online built shooter watching many different instructors to gather techniques that i can try and adapt to my own style
That was the most wildly informative 10 minutes I think I've ever watched on youtube.
That was one of the most informative shooting vids I've ever seen. Easy to understand and presented in a reasonable amount of time. I like the lighthearted TFBTV vids, but this was a nice change of pace.
You’re certainly training some “dandy candy”. A 10 with a firearm, now thats dangerous. Great lesson bro! Thanks
Wow, this guy seems to be a insanely good teacher. He has way of explaining complex topics really easy and understandable, that is just extraordinary.
Excellent instructor! Developed each step clear and concise for a new shooter. Great stuff here.
This was awesome, Quick clean and to the point, I worked with some spec ops guys for about 3 years in the Army, being their intel monitor. This dude just laid out the best 8 mins on a hand gun I've ever heard.
Great vid.
Great guy and very good instructor. Positive attitude and not too full of himself. Thanks for sharing. This really could be a video series to teach people the basics.
Best five minutes I have spent this year!
That's what she said!
Sorry...too easy. I'll let myself out.
It was 8 minutes of instruction
I am bad at handgun shooting so the narcissistic schizophrenia in me said this video is all about me thank you James.
Pistols are all about practice. It is so easy to get rusty with a sidearm. Develop the proper technique and dryfire a lot.
I like this video and format, straight to the point and informative.
Loads to unpack and I'm going to watch it many more times but ... in slow motion.
Nice quick rundown. Clean and simple.
Really enjoyed listening to what this man had to share with us about the pistol shooting technique that has worked for him seemed like a very humble down to earth dude definitely going to try to find more stuff from him.
Woot Danielle🎉
Don't encourage her.
This was alot of fun and educational. I love it!
MORE of him. I learned so much, my grip has improved like crazy.

Only 10 PM in Commiefornia.
2 minutes in and this is already a ton of info and a really good relay and explanation of it all. I like that.
Amazing video, Jimmy is a great instructor for sure, i love the way he explain.😎 James and Danielle are both great shooters too🤩😊
Love this video. What a great instructor. Thank you
Good clear instruction and advice, thanks
"This is what works for me, this is a way, not THE way" - the typical advise of a *real* pro. Also like there's a lot of focus on the fundamentals. Thanks!
going to share with friends and family, excellent content!
That’s so crazy. I just started experimenting with ‘aiming’ with my left thumb. I’ve never heard anybody talk about it till now. so far I’ve had good results.
Excellent job. His training is spot on and anyone new or trying to advance in pistol shooting , listen to this guy.
The SF guys teaching what competition shooters have been for a long time. With the red dot and comp. Nice work.
Where do you think the military got it from? From sending troopies to classes put on by competition shooters. Been reading about same since the '90s.
So lucky to have this training-thank you.
Great stuff Jimmy!! Excellent delivery! Truly one of the best!!
Short, sweet, solid. Thank you for your service.
Original 1911 style training video, regarding the down the line arm, hahah.
Yeah that was an unexpected bit o' WWII stuff slipped in there. I have medium-sized hands and it's a rare pistol that'll let me do the line-up thing and still reach the trigger.
Fantastic!!
Fantastic teacher, fantastic video!
This video has let me know i need to get in some reps. Thanks fren
Awesome!
Excellent instruction/instructor! Thank you!
No matter how efficient you are in pistol shooting it's always great to watch these because there's something different to take away from every instructor :D
Very helpful, thanks
this is gold love it
excellent. Thanks for this
Some people will act like experts, but the proof is in the pudding. You can tell, even if it is subtle, that Jimmy has been practicing A LOT. His draw is near instant, his reload is near instant - if you blink you miss them. He had to mentally stop himself from press checking the pistol because that's what his hands have been trained instinctively to do.
I'm surprised how easy it was to learn the pistol optic thing. I had occasionally shot a magazine or so of various pistols owned by my friends equipped with an MRO and struggled. I thought it wasn't for me.
However, after I committed to it on my Glock 47 it only took a couple boxes of ammo to start getting the hang of it. Great advice in this video on creating that predictable acquisition of the dot and not searching for it. Having co-witness sights in the beginning helped me a lot as I built the muscle memory of driving my gun to the target in line.
I love how the gun coming out of holster is synonymous with the gun being fired. It’s a good motto to live by, and will minimize ADs and The cardinal sin of brandishing
Great video! ❤️ We need waaaay more content on the "basics". I also love how this instructor also interjects some "comedy" into his teaching, making it a bit of fun. I also believe it's (the basics) are not given "priority" as much as "speed" etc.... Again love this video! ❤️
Wow! That was the best fast track video I've ever seen on pistol fundamentals. Awesome.
Thank You!!!! That was so informative and I really enjoyed this and look forward to more great instruction. Would love to attend his classes.
The power clap is something I never considered. I will definitely give it a try!
What a stud!
Midnight creepin, never sleepin.
I think I'm in love. 💕
Oh, and that Valkyrie lady was somewhere in frame, too... I guess.
Haha
Damn good summary for the time allotted.
Never heard ANYONE talk about presenting the gun using your support hand. Doing this made a huge difference in finding my dot. Especially since I’m cross-eyed dominant. Great idea!
Great Video - Thanks!!!
one humble statement that makes him one of the great trainers, " this is A WAY.., and it works for me..." thank you, sir
Jimmy is a solid instructor, indeed. I’m glad he continues doing awesome things for people who want to improve their shooting.
Honestly, great video. Super simple fundamental techniques that are memorable and easy to train.
Great shooting principles with simple instructional techniques! Thank you sir.
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing with us, Mr. Reeves. 👍🏻
My trainer is a small arms instructor. He is a bad ass soldier too. It makes a difference being trained by theae guys.
Good advice for people who already know how to hold a pistol and where to apply their grip pressure - missed a demo of any technique for where to apply pressure while holding the gun, with the dominant and off-hands.
When I introduce first-timers, before the first shot (preferably at home) I spend about 30 minutes practicing holding, manipulation, grip, and dry firing with a laser attached (so I can track how the gun moves) - so far everyone I've started this way is consistently ringing steel at 25 yards at some cadence within a few mags.
I like the thumb advice. I'll definitely be trying that in the future.
Will be training with the family at the range with this. Great techniques.

Gold. Thx
Fantastic instruction!!
One of the best clear cut videos I have seen!
Austria again! Yeah!
phenomenal lesson jimmy thank you
I like this guys teaching style. Good stuff.
excellent instruction from a very knowledgeable and articulate instructor! 💯 👍🏻 thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻
Simple and to the point
Damn. Danielle Valkyrie. Now that's a strong name.
Straight out of an action film.
Thank you 😊
Any instructor who says "this is A way not THE way" knows what the hell hes talking about. Hes able to instruct without an ego. Great instructor and great techniques taught in this video! Thank you!
Fantastic video!
Great guidance! Absolutely clear... Tnx...
I really like the way he explains things because he goes into the logic behind why he does things the way he does.
Clean no bullshit instruction is always valuable.
Great video!!! As a new shooter, I am looking forward to applying some of these techniques to see what works best for me. Thanks for the solid vid!
TY teacher !!!
Solid instruction.
Fast and Furious. Breathe Dog. 😤💯👍🏼
Solid Block of Instruction...
This guy is a phenomenal coach.
Thanks 👍
