I'm 73 yrs old and a Nam Vet, most days I can still draw and put a round in the box at 7 yards in .97 .98. In stead of giving up dry fire 3 times a week. Mozambique drill is one of the best drill.
One thing i notice a lot of people do is train concealment carry from a shooting position. Remember guys, you are never in a shooting position in real life, and conceal carry (if the times comes) you will not be in a shooting position, with the perfect body alignment and foot position. Train your hand being on different positions, your body, your foot... You might have something in your hand prior, you might be leaning on a counter at a store, sitting down on a chair and many others scenarios. Also, implement movement.
You’re in a shooting position because you’ve already been made aware of pre-attack indicators and being prepared. In real life, nobody just runs up on you to gun you down. It’s more likely that they want your material items, not your life, so it isn’t worth the risk of drawing from the drop for especially in a non ideal position.
@@amic7785 I'm from Brazil, so believe me when i say this, people run up to you and take your life, people do assassinate you. Even more if you are a police officer. Ive seen ton, sometimes there is no time to get into a shooting position.
@@amic7785 You American right? Well im from Brazil, and ill tell ya, people do assassinate, even more when you are a cop. Homicide and armed robbery aint nothing new here. "So it isnt worth the risk" you say, my guy its the complete opposite, the risk is already there and it comes to a matter of if you wanna live or die. There is no pre-attack indicator lol
I think one reason I like appendix carry is the possibility to get to my gun with both hands especially in a clinch scenario. That being said that advantage is somehow evened out when you carry a knife that you can get to with your weak hand. I think you should simply be able to apply a lot of damage with both hands.
17+ years carrying professionally. I agree carrying in different places depending on your attire and what you’re doing. When I carried undercover it was usually at the 3 o’clock position. Normally I carry appendix and it works for me. Definitely like to see more on this topic, cause I can always learn more and get better. 🤙
Love the content guys, for context as a 120 guy carrying a G19 appendix (for most occasions) 13 years everyday everywhere. Anyone can conceal a firearm without you having a clue no matter what their build is it just takes practice and attention. Read that again if your one of the folks body shaming, Murphy doesnt care what you look like.
This is priceless knowledge transfer. Once again thank you for illustrating processes that can save lives. God bless gentlemen. All the best to you and yours.
Finally having a gnarly metabolism has a pro outside of not gaining weight. As for the step by step crisp explanation of creating a better style of understanding as opposed to a better style of shooting I am really digging the more in depth of why you put your hand here with a breathe here & a quick inhale of the gut for smoother response all the while no leaning. Solid. I do, however, miss the slap opening. 🤘🇺🇲 Cheers & Thanks Gents!
Practicing with the clothes you wear is so important. I'm a skinny guy not very muscular but I've always wore looser clothes. I'm someone who likes to wear alot of layers even in the summer I have a shirt and a under shirt. But it definitely took me awhile to get comfortable with clearing two shirts and a hoodie in the winter time. I just practiced at home with a laser trainer. By no means am I a expert but I'm definitely more comfortable than a few years ago and have a method to my draw that's repeatable.
Been carrying and training for many years. What I’ve learned is there is a balance between concealing so there is no printing and weapon access. At this point in my life weapon access is the top priority. I just don’t care that much about printing anymore.
Same traffic. I’m a big guy and I carry at the 3 o’clock. One of the things I work on since I’m not light on my feet, is situational awareness and my options due to the environment. You never wanna be the last guy to know that you’re in or about to be in a gun fight.
When I’m not a work, I put my p320 away and I just carry a Glock 17. I tuck it in a safariland holster on my waste; I usually put a hoodie or a a jacket over it. No one ever notices it.
You don’t have to have your thumb around the gun on the initial grip. Put it on top of the slide behind the optic, add support hand on presentation and then build the full grip. It is more efficient and consistent
Usually carry appendix but the 3 o clock is a good option as well. Definitely need to train it more. Don’t know if I agree with the suck in your gut method. I don’t see myself sucking in my stomach if some dude starts shooting at me. Idk that’s just me. Tell me if I’m wrong plz. Thanks boys 🤙
GBRS Group, What kind of earpro are you both using? I have used Peltor for years but started having issues while running long action bolt guns. Do you suggest any low pro electronic ear pro?
@@BronzeAgePuritan+1 to that. Start by cutting out snacks, then the second helpings, and see where you’re at. Then start trading dense/junk items for protein ones that make you more satiated for the calories. Slow progression
"Incredible work, DJ Shipley! It's fascinating to see how you master working from concealment. Always inspiring to learn from your experience and realistic approach. Keep sharing that invaluable knowledge with us!"
I'm one of the lucky guys that can carry glock 34 glock 21 with no problem appendix. I'm 5'8 "196lbs because my upper body is bigger, so my shirts cover everything, even slim fit shirts do the same. But 3clock 4clock carry I can't do to save my life I print any size gun not sure why
I'm 300lbs and I carry AIWB. I have a sub second draw from concealment to first shot from 7 yards. Peep my video shorts and you can see my body composition, so it might not apply to other dudes that weigh as much as me.
It’s not comfortable if you drive a lot or if you fall on it. Numerous people have spinal injuries from carrying small of the back. I did carry 4 o’clock for 8 yrs but transitioned to appendix. Only time I dislike it is when I am shooting prone. Also from the small of the back is going to be the slowest position to draw from. To each their own.
I’m 6ft 240 with weight around the midsection. I prefer the 3 o’clock for a few reasons. 1. It’s easier to get a good grip based off my body composition. 2. If things are hands on I can use my body and left hand to give me space to draw. 3. It’s most comfortable to me in all scenarios. Sitting down to drive or eat I can carry at the 3 comfortably. With proper training and repetition you don’t lose a significant amount of speed vs appendix.
Let people be uncomfortable. I might print a little bit carrying appendix but not bad. They have to be looking for it to see it. If they see it, I don't care. Honestly, if I notice someone carry open or concealed, I look at the whole package. If they look like a ne'er-do-well gang banger who just swam the Rio Grand, then yeah, I'm gonna be keeping my eyes on that guy. If the dude is wearing a T shirt with old glory on it, I'm going to feel MUCH more comfortable around that person. I don't worry too much about printing.
The fewest moves always wins! I love the way you explain this makes a lot more sense and you keep your posture instead of leaning back & doing to much. Fuck you guys are awesome. Thank you I will definitely be dry firing a lot better now
When you draw from appendix you don't draw with the thumb behind the grip you first put your thumb on the back of the receiver. Strange you guys draw this way from appendix.

< Law Enforcement Instructor. My Blanket Statement- Appendix carry is dumb. Strong side carry is best. #1. We all carry strong side on our battle/duty belts...why change it for ccw? Why retrain muscle memory of the draw? Most instructors drill in consistency with everything....yet its ok to break for ccw? Makes no sense. Appendix carry offers nothing over strong side.
Good points made. I have both family and a couple friends that are military vets and police officers they all seem to like appendix when off duty. One of them is a Police firearms instructor. But I can see your points. I believe both Uncle Freedom and Tactical Considerations which are both LE carry appendix while off duty as well. I as a regular citizen will run appendix. I can conceal a larger gun than a g17 no problem.
@@andershilmo1866 I probably sound a little anal lol. Truth is that almost none of us will hopefully never have to use our ccw weapon....so carry however is most comfortable. The important thing is to just carry, and train how you carry.
@@KCWeapon No worries sir. I have my own pet peeves. I notice that a bunch of people. Train from owb strong side at the range and in class. Then edc apendix or carry 4 or 5 o’clock or worse a bag. I just don’t get it. Why would you spend all the time and money to train how you are not going to carry. If anything happens it will most likely happen for us civilians while we are concealed carrying. Seems like many people while training just want to look/ be fast and of course owb is faster especially if you don’t practice from concealed. I alway train from concealed since that’s 99.999999999 % of my daily carry routine.
"Not everyone is built like a G.I. Joe" coming from the most badass G.I. Joe. Thanks bro. I needed that today.
Seriously, dude looks like a superhero 😂
Damn zip it up when your done
The quick suck in of the beer gut during the draw is a game changer for me. Such a simple concept that I for some reason never thought of.
Maybe not have a beer gut to suck in. That's a problem that should be addressed before worrying about appendix carry
@robertwallace4515 gee, wonder why I never thought of that one. Christ almighty.
@AJ-xc4nm I'm just messin with ya. Hope you get a good exercise routine and diet plan or just do 2 o'clock position
Or, claw grip...thumb over rear sight as you draw from appendix...move the thumb over as you present...these guys don't always have all the answers.
