As a woman "of a certain age" I grew up around firearms. But I didn't actually buy my first gun or shoot one until apx 10 years ago. I consulted one of my brothers. He required that I listen to and watch the safety sequence before he'd discuss my decision to aquire personal protection. (It's fun too!) Then he quizzed me. He's been handling firearms most of his life and always methodically does the safety sequence every time he picks one up. It's instructive and takes only a few minutes but saves lives! Anywho . . I'm loving these instructional and professional videos! Has increased my comfort level and perspective. Thank you. 😁💪
I love how you emphasize situational awareness with gun safety before the handling portion even begins! I learned that changing the sequence while safeing the weapon- which incorporates the movement to clearing a malfunction- is a simple, effective technique to improve the 'economy of movement'. I think this holistic approach to working with a firearm is what separates you guys from the rest. This is the type of stuff that draws me toward your channel and keeps me coming back. Fantastic video as always. Thanks Mr. Martinez.
Good stuff here. Both for new and not so new individuals. Repetition brings instinctual actions in hot situations. Simple and straight forward with no shenanigans.
I’m studying this shit like arithmetic before I even head to the range. I appreciate you guys so much for putting this information out there. I am getting an exponential amount of knowledge from this!
Strong grip, index the firing finger, don't limp wrist it. Be aware of the direction of the muzzle at all times. Good instruction. Everyone can benefit from repetition of the basics/fundamentals. Thanks
As a new shooter, I really appreciate this video. Until now, I used the "old" method of taking the mag out first - and (like you said) I sometimes would find myself tied up with a mag in one hand and a still-loaded gun in the other. I'll be ditching that and practicing your method from now on
I can understand the reasoning behind Raul's method. However, IDPA competition matches do it the old way. When you unload and show clear, you drop the mag and stow it. So when you lock the slide to show the safety officer, you still have your support hand free. I just looked up the rules and it doesn't *specify* dropping the mag first, just that you have to unload and show the empty weapon to the SO. I'll have to ask at my next match what they think about locking the slide first...
Just to have the opposition represented in the comments even when it's a year old: As mentioned in the video...Question everything and understand why you do things. The proven order of steps makes sense. You can find lots of unloading videos of people mixing up the steps: racking the slide, not thinking straight for a moment counting the ejection of one round as empty, release the slide loading the next round from the magazine and only then removing the magazine and hopefully just squeeze the remaining one in a barrel of sand. 1. Magazine out 2. Racking the slide to eject the remaining round from the chamber. But what has this to do with the show clear here? Same order across the board: It has to be the same order all the time cause that's what is left under pressure. It's also the same order when you clear malfunctions (t&r or clearing a hard double feed): first to the ammo source (tap or remove/rip), then cycling the action. It works under stress and in low light. If one might lose control over the handgun in a scuffel, same order: mag out, less danger from remaining single round and ejecting that one. (One of the reasons why some swore and swear on mag safeties cause it drastically reduces the number of leos shot with their own pistol. Which is counter productive for others). Why the tap&rack? We all care for our guns, only happens with dirty magazines, can't happen to us? Can be slightly unseated getting in&out of a car, by the holster or clothing or some kind of impact did it. What was clean can be compromised without the users knowledge during the day. Can happen in between shots slightly touching the mag release too. It's all covering bases like the press check and tugging on the magazine as shown in the video. Locking the slide back doesn't make the gun safe earlier. It creates a potentially dangerous situation. See videos where having the slide slamming forward unexpectedly picks up a round and fires it. This is far less likely if the reloading source is removed first. Safeties fail, parts break and lots of tuning parts and reloads around. Now possible human error failing to lock the slide back: Live round in chamber not fully extracted & ejected is hanging around, slide moves forward during failed lock back attempt, it tries to feed the next round and then there were two. Now hopefully the slide can still move, the rounds aren't stuck on each other, the magazine and possibly slightly deformed. Doesn't happen when the magazine is already removed. In the worst case: A round can go off out of battery and the full magazine is still right below. It may be ejected by the force or not. If the magazine is already removed, less potential danger with just one round left. removing most of the danger's source first is a good idea. You might think that's all rare cases. Yes they're rare and you can be one of those cases. Like with electricity it's rare but if it happens that's it. If I'm wrong, tell me why. I'll watch part 2 with an open mind. EDIT: part 2 is mighty fine imo.
Such a concise, digestible lesson. Thanks, Raul, for taking the time to clearly explain the how and why of your method. I'm relatively new to handguns so this will be a huge aid to me, and I'm sure many others. Oh, and sick shirt 🤙
Malfunction drills! One of the best instructors I've taken classes from would have us mix snap cap practice rounds into our mags before a drill. An afternoon of clearing malfunctions increases efficiency!
While most of this may be remedial for most of us, it is still great to train/practice the basics and some of the most important aspects of firearms handling. Thanks FCS
Watched your video about slings and it gave some great insight as to how and why you do it the way you do. Same thing with this. I've been doing safety checks by dropping the mag first. Your explanation makes perfect sense, I'll be incorporating this into my training going forward. Thanks so much.
Being from CA, I use to clear this way when my buddy was teaching me about firearms. When I walked into my local shop and bought my first gun, 10 days later on pickup they had me run the clear drill their way (traditional). Your way makes way more sense and feels more natural. That being said, I know in CA they have the no mag no fire safety.
Definitely going to start practicing that method starting tomorrow. You guys are the best instructional team out there IMO. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Good stuff still going to stick to the old tried and true method of ejecting the ammunition supply/magazine first but love to see different mindsets schools of thought and new ideas
I know I can't wait to go this year (Cincinnati September)! I have Heard nothing but Great things on the class. I'm just hoping all the crew will be there would love to meet everyone. Great video Pimp N
I really appreciate these videos. I’m a new pistol guy and this is probably my 4th watch. I have been doing everything with you and familiarizing myself with the g17
Prior to dry fire in LEO we teach: remove mag, lock back slide, look and touch in chamber to verify unloaded, and then cycle at least 2 times after slide goes home. Not criticizing, just adding to. Love your channel.
@Raul Martinez I hear you. We have to teach to the lowest denominator. Cycling is to further verify and ensure a bone head didn't miss a magazine that was still in place. By cycling 2 times, a round should come out of the chamber and give a clue that it was not cleared properly. Again, just saying, that extra step helps ensure beyond any doubt. This is what is taught to cadets, Some whom have never touched a firearm in their lives. After over 20 years I still do this final check prior to dry fire, just habit at this point and takes 1 extra second.
@Raul Martinezfree thinkers on the street, robots when it comes to gun safety and range rules. Much like the military, rules are drilled in until they become second nature. You may disagree with cycling twice but I feel no harm in a 1 second verification that could keep a round from being discharged negligently. Still love your guys content and I only ment to share my addition to your verifications. God Bless.
Also! I think this would be a great class in and of itself as a sort of "certified gun handler" course that might cover Gun handling and range etiquette. 🤔🤷♀️
I’m going to be a 1st time handgun owner in Detroit suburbs so watching all the content i can like this video! This was a awesome video along with mike glovers video on pistol basics 👍🏾
Raul Martinez This totally left the old range officer frustrated with me when today when I signed up for a membership at a local indoor range . I guess some folk like to leave the pew as the last step. I guess cause it’s institutional? I did this way, until today !
Doesn't make sense to me, if your argument is it frees your hand up I dont understand because you're still dropping the mag later and storing it.... I would argue that if you don't catch that slide lock and you're getting sloppy or your fingers are cold/slick you're putting one in the tube that didnt have to go there in the first place
Definitely agreed, I'm not on board with his method. Especially for beginners who haven't mastered the dexterity to pull the slide back and actuate the slide lock. They're going to end up loading another round from loaded mag. Drop mag, check and clear chamber, clear.
Raul Martinez Thanks. Did a quick search after posting my question and discovered how many strong opinions there are out there about it! I learned to shoot 20 years ago and it wasn’t something anyone did. Trying to get back into the game a bit and learn all I can.
Jon Taylor , good for you ! Things change based on real world necessity , good for keeping and open mind and questioning everything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. I reviewed this video multiple times when Raul did not remove the mag first and I was thinking 🤔 WTF ?? Because I learned to take the mag out first then rack the slide.. to me his method makes sense now and is very logical 👏
Where do you carry your backup mag when carrying AIWB? Seems like most guys don't run a side car style holster and no one ever seems to talk about their backup mag.
How much pressure do you exert on the frame with your index finger?? I ask because, and I admit this reluctantly, I'm good with the basics of handguns however I picked up my firearm, still in it's holster (Bravo Torsion) and had a very strong grip, finger straight and off the trigger but on the holster and exerting a lot of pressure with my index finger. It was loaded with one in the chamber. I pulled the holster off and my index finger slipped into the trigger gaurd and had a sympathetic trigger pull! It's a 5 lbs trigger and it felt like I went through air. What did I do wrong?????
This was awesome! I’m a new shooter and things are a little intimidating. This practice will definitely help with basics and confidence building. Thanks!!! BTW - loved the music.
Awesome talk! I've been using that clearing method for years, for the stated reasons. Question, and I realize that it a preference. What is your view of horizontal shoulder holsters and similar "muzzling" bystanders? I know what I think, just curious of you guys opinion.
@Raul Martinez that is my thoughts exactly. Just some idiot on the internet commented about it. My thought was "you're allowed to have your opinion, and I'm allowed to think it's stupid."
The Federal Air Marshals qualification (7 drills) is all you need to do to practice real life defensive training with the handgun. Google and practice. Master the accuracy and time of the Air Marshals Qual and you will be in the top 1% of shooters nationwide.
great video. Stupid question but I just purchased a glock 26 and am having a hard time choosing a holster for it. So many options and so many reviews good and bad. Do you or does anyone have any suggestions? I would be grateful for any advice. Im right handed and would most likely carry IWB. Thank you!
What about the models that don't slide lock? Or only do on an empty mag? If you are picking up one of those models and don't know the slide doesn't lock, it will simply chamber a new round. Does your advice change?
Raul Martinez spent my entire adult life in the Military from Regiment, LRSD and the line we still had runners to send emails. Not once have I seen a good use for a press check, you speak of keeping it simple and I wholeheartedly agree but then add an unneeded step 🤷🏼♂️ I don’t want to argue or sharpshooter you, you know what your doing I just don’t agree with press checks, there a fad and a bad habit that shouldn’t translate into the fight. Further more most people online don’t even know why there doing it they just saw someone else do it and added it because it looks cool. Anyhow I love the channel and the great instruction.
Interesting. I was taught by a very well known Delta Forces guy that you would know to remove the source and then open the slide, or bolt. That is not to say that techniques don't evolve. I am sure he taught things that were different from the generation previous to himself. You are a fantastic instructor. I would love to learn from you in person. The sling video you did was the best I have ever seen.
EludeAdaptSurvive Reid same here brotha. Saving up for there AR 11.5 rifle. I currently have a BCM 14.5 and really wanna try out Triarcs rifles. I’ve heard nothing but great things about them.

But what has this to do with the show clear here?
Same order across the board:
It has to be the same order all the time cause that's what is left under pressure. It's also the same order when you clear malfunctions (t&r or clearing a hard double feed): first to the ammo source (tap or remove/rip), then cycling the action. It works under stress and in low light. If one might lose control over the handgun in a scuffel, same order: mag out, less danger from remaining single round and ejecting that one.

You might think that's all rare cases. Yes they're rare and you can be one of those cases. Like with electricity it's rare but if it happens that's it.
If I'm wrong, tell me why.
I'll watch part 2 with an open mind.

Raul I appreciate your philosophy. Your skill and mechanics are obvious. Hope to see more vids with you regarding sidearms. ✌️
There will be more to come for sure!
Everybody needs to watch this video before they go to a class, great instruction on how and why, thanks Raul.
Raul as real as they come
Real ,efficient,proficient, proven
After 50 yrs of doing it the other way, I'm glad I can still recognize merit when I see it. I will train this way. Never overlook fundamentals.
Please do more of these type of videos, hopefully for other types of firearms also.
Great gun safety video, great music and basic training skills how to handle a hand gun correctly
Glad you enjoyed it thank you!
I dig it dudes. I'm glad that those that felt the need to complain could only complain about the music. I liked it all, keep sharing knowledge.
Thank you for the feedback!
"Simplicity in all things."
Amen, Brother Martinez.
@Raul Martinez See ya in Vegas in a few weeks!

Thanks so much.
Great instructional video! Thanks for teaching.
Glad you you enjoyed it!
Had my wife watch this. Thank you and well done !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great basics, had my kids review and said , told you. Dads always need confirmation.

SO REAL ,EFFECTIVE, LEGIT !
New routine to practice! Nice. This channel is gonna be LIT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Understand your reasons. Thanks.
Definitely going to start practicing that method starting tomorrow. You guys are the best instructional team out there IMO. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
I need Raul's spotify playlist...fr fr
Awesome video. Love the thoughtful instruction. Makes a lot of sense.
Great tips, it's very easy to get complacent, thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😊 For the good instructional information

Fantastic! Thanks and God bless!
Awesome! Thanks Raul!
@Raul Martinez hope we can roll at Lotus one day!
Great info, see you tomorrow!
You got my attention on this one and I will start practicing this method. Look forward to your follow-up vids.
Glad You enjoyed it!
Look forward to using these skills in Cincinnati
Just finished your interview from the Mike Drop podcast. Fantastic interview.
great presentation, clear and concise nice shirt
It’s also good to train ur mind with a recourse. Like the way he teaches how to handle the gun.
Having that free hand to catch the mag when taking it out of battery first is dope. Super obvious but never thought of it. Nice
Awesome video Raul!! Hope you guys can come to Casa Grande, AZ soon! Best regards!
Well done!
He’s become a new card in my Arsenal.
Raul Martinez This totally left the old range officer frustrated with me when today when I signed up for a membership at a local indoor range . I guess some folk like to leave the pew as the last step. I guess cause it’s institutional? I did this way, until today !
Interesting premise of locking the slide back first , ejecting a cartridge and removing the magazine 🤔
Doesn't make sense to me, if your argument is it frees your hand up I dont understand because you're still dropping the mag later and storing it....
I would argue that if you don't catch that slide lock and you're getting sloppy or your fingers are cold/slick you're putting one in the tube that didnt have to go there in the first place
Agreed, it makes no sense to me to not eject the magazine first, always how I’ve been taught.
Definitely agreed, I'm not on board with his method. Especially for beginners who haven't mastered the dexterity to pull the slide back and actuate the slide lock. They're going to end up loading another round from loaded mag. Drop mag, check and clear chamber, clear.
Nice job guys! Thanx for the share.
Great fundamentals- thank you
excellent information for every skill level shooter!!!
Great video Raul looking forward to Oct 24 th Ceres CA 🇺🇸
Great video Raul!
Awesome info sir thank you! Would you guys be doing a video on rifles as well?
Stay tuned!
Great video! Succinct, educational and to the point.
Very good method, I'm going to implement as of now.
this video is everything!!!
What kind of pistol is that? I love it
Well done, thanks
Some great tips here
Great Video! I love the sequence!
Never fired a gun before but makes sense to me
Thanks for the info. Why the emphasis on press checking? Is it common for a round not to seat when loading a pistol?
Raul Martinez Thanks. Did a quick search after posting my question and discovered how many strong opinions there are out there about it! I learned to shoot 20 years ago and it wasn’t something anyone did. Trying to get back into the game a bit and learn all I can.
Jon Taylor , good for you ! Things change based on real world necessity , good for keeping and open mind and questioning everything 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Best shirt ever! Great video thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Great Stuff brotha, I’m a new shooter and apply this to my training..... Martinez!!! Primo???
Apologies if I've missed it somewhere, but what is Raul's background? Excellent video! Thank you....
@Raul Martinez Will do. Love your videos. Thank you!
Where do you carry your backup mag when carrying AIWB? Seems like most guys don't run a side car style holster and no one ever seems to talk about their backup mag.
👍 Good job ! I wanna learn more from you Guys..Thanks.
What advice and techniques for those who are left handed would the techniques different.
very good
Great video! Is the 2nd one out yet? I couldn't find it
Not yet! Raul has been on the road training a lot lately, part 2 will be coming soon tho, stay tuned!
How much pressure do you exert on the frame with your index finger?? I ask because, and I admit this reluctantly, I'm good with the basics of handguns however I picked up my firearm, still in it's holster (Bravo Torsion) and had a very strong grip, finger straight and off the trigger but on the holster and exerting a lot of pressure with my index finger. It was loaded with one in the chamber. I pulled the holster off and my index finger slipped into the trigger gaurd and had a sympathetic trigger pull! It's a 5 lbs trigger and it felt like I went through air.
What did I do wrong?????
This was awesome! I’m a new shooter and things are a little intimidating. This practice will definitely help with basics and confidence building. Thanks!!! BTW - loved the music.
Thanks
Awesome talk! I've been using that clearing method for years, for the stated reasons. Question, and I realize that it a preference. What is your view of horizontal shoulder holsters and similar "muzzling" bystanders? I know what I think, just curious of you guys opinion.
@Raul Martinez that is my thoughts exactly. Just some idiot on the internet commented about it. My thought was "you're allowed to have your opinion, and I'm allowed to think it's stupid."
The Federal Air Marshals qualification (7 drills) is all you need to do to practice real life defensive training with the handgun. Google and practice. Master the accuracy and time of the Air Marshals Qual and you will be in the top 1% of shooters nationwide.
Great video man!
@Raul Martinez Thank you for your service. I look forward to getting some quality training from you guys soon.
Thanks Much.
lets gooo! hope all is well brother! loved the intro
This is great, when does part 2 come out?
great video. Stupid question but I just purchased a glock 26 and am having a hard time choosing a holster for it. So many options and so many reviews good and bad. Do you or does anyone have any suggestions? I would be grateful for any advice. Im right handed and would most likely carry IWB. Thank you!
When i first saw the face, i was like "is dan bilzerian here?"
where do you buy affordable ammo?
When will part 2 be up?
Good Stuff!
Is it okay for my gun to not be stock? I have changed the barrel, trigger connector and the mag release on my glock.
Would you suggest using Snap Caps or dummy rounds while practicing manipulations?
What about the models that don't slide lock? Or only do on an empty mag? If you are picking up one of those models and don't know the slide doesn't lock, it will simply chamber a new round. Does your advice change?
Hell yeah! 🤘
I know all this but I just like the way Raul presents #mancrushmonday #imwearingbootbandssoitsnotgay
Jeez thats alot of rounds back there
On board with every thing but the press check. Those things need to go back to the tactical cool kid closet where they came from.
Raul Martinez spent my entire adult life in the Military from Regiment, LRSD and the line we still had runners to send emails. Not once have I seen a good use for a press check, you speak of keeping it simple and I wholeheartedly agree but then add an unneeded step 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t want to argue or sharpshooter you, you know what your doing I just don’t agree with press checks, there a fad and a bad habit that shouldn’t translate into the fight. Further more most people online don’t even know why there doing it they just saw someone else do it and added it because it looks cool.
Anyhow I love the channel and the great instruction.
Would you do the same unloading sequence with an AR?
Interesting. I was taught by a very well known Delta Forces guy that you would know to remove the source and then open the slide, or bolt. That is not to say that techniques don't evolve. I am sure he taught things that were different from the generation previous to himself. You are a fantastic instructor. I would love to learn from you in person. The sling video you did was the best I have ever seen.
You and Dan Bilzerian look so similar. I hope you get chicks like him too brother. Great video.
Nearly identical beards
Is that a Triarc Glock ?
It is!
Triarc is taking over, saving up for one of there AR uppers currently
EludeAdaptSurvive Reid same here brotha. Saving up for there AR 11.5 rifle. I currently have a BCM 14.5 and really wanna try out Triarcs rifles. I’ve heard nothing but great things about them.
