Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Today, we start a new series on how to shoot a pistol accurately. Each week, we'll focus on a particular skill set or two.
At the beginning of the week, we'll give you a lesson and dry fire exercises to implement on your own. On Thursday of the same week, we will provide you with live fire exercises to refine and validate your dry fire exercises.
If you follow along every week, you'll know how to shoot a pistol with great accuracy in no time.
Note: We will try this out for a few weeks to see if our viewers like these types of videos. If so, we'll continue with the series.
If you want to learn how to properly aim your pistol using iron sights or a red dot, check this video out: • How To Aim A Pistol Us...

How do you come off the trigger and get back on a prepped Glock trigger without racking the slide?
Good question, which we should have addressed in the video. Some triggers will stay pinned to the rear and won't reset to the original position.
You can get products like the Dry Fire mag which will reset the trigger: tacticalhyve.com/recommends/dryfiremag/dry-fire-mag/
Alternatively, when it comes to learning how to reset and prep your trigger, you can do so by isolating that skill without even presenting your pistol to take a shot. Simply point your pistol in a safe direction, break the shot, rack the slide, then immediately come off the trigger so it can reset then get to a prepped trigger.
We will discuss this next Monday as we continue the series.
@@TacticalHyve Alternatively, you can "cheat" the reset on Glocks by putting a wedge to hold the slide out of battery but have enough free play in the trigger movement. The trigger wouldn't break but you can practice letting off to the reset that way. I believe some use ripcord and let it hang off the chamber.
Or you could have someone reach up and rack it to cycle the action.
@@gob7116 I like using the zip tie method with my Glock 48. I use a fluorescent yellow zip tie, and it doubles as a barrel block, while also keeping the trigger from pinning to the rear.
Wish they made dry fire mags for more than just glocks ;( No such thing for a Walther or Canik.
Impossible to spend too much time on fundamentals. Thanks for stepping back and laying a framework.
Keep up the series. Every bit of knowledge for new shooters is invaluable training and makes it safer for all of us. Great WORK! 👍
I approve. Please continue this series for as long as you have advice. I would even make it into a sub-channel series where you can recommend it to future subscribers as a training series.
Making another channel isnt smart for creators
💥👏Very Good Series Idea!🇺🇸
Myles, what is the gun ur using here...& What is ur preferred Full & Compact Auto? Thnx!😎👍
Yes wud like 2 know also, please brother...TY!
Looks like a p365
As a new gun owner, I appreciate everything I can be taught. Funnily, I just dry fired for a couple of hours while the cable was out. I seem to need to work on most of what you discussed. I'm looking forward to this series. Thanks for putting the content out there.
I felt compelled to proffer my most sincere thanks for this "gold-plated" pistol instruction series. I'm 72 years old and the "gun world" with all it's many colors is not foreign to me.
I have never viewed anything like this. Simply put, all other instruction pales in comparison. You are just plain fabulous! And a brilliant, likeable guy. Wow!
Thanks, pal!
Thanks Miles, PLEASE carry on!
Been shooting for over a decade and I believe everyone should always go back to the basics and practice the fundamentals. Once you do it for a while, you may not spend as much time with the fundamentals but without them you won't be proficient. I shoot so much I don't always think about what I'm doing but if I start missing, I stop and pay attention to figure out what I need to fix
I’m really enjoying these series . Thanks for the content my man .
Glad to hear it!
That pen visualisation is really worth trying. I remember it from an older video of Michael Voigt, I think the last time 5-6 years ago via surefire. It can be also used to clear things up what of the finger should move, sweet spot for the reach, finger placement. This series is a good idea, good to interact with each other what worked out, options and so on.
"few reps" = min. 10,000 reps.
Started shooting a few months ago - went to the range with some buddies and my shots were all over the place. Stumbled across this series and started practicing dry firing 5-10 minutes a couple times a week at home for about a few weeks going through the first couple of videos. Shot my first bullseye (3 in fact) in addition to a tighter grouping. Saved me so much ammo too 😂 Thanks for all the knowledge, I will be continuing with this series!
This is so good. So thankful you guys are making these videos. I appreciate how you break everything down and don’t use lingo that you might just assume we’d know. Keep it going.
Great format, this will be extremely helpful.
Many thanks, ammo is alot more expensive in South Africa so this is gold when it comes to practice.
I have 1 question, I have a G19 with the bucket sights. What would be the correct hold at 10y?
Again thank you in advance.
If it is a glock for a rapid close shot I'd like to aim down the back plate of the slide twice. But my favorite is my Beretta M9 But it's the same theory I aint right where the hammer is connected to the gun. What are your thoughts. How long with my draw is straight up punch out straight from sternham.
Great idea, great attitude towards teaching these basics. 1-2 points at a time make these tips truly useful and mostly important - achievable. Makes me want to practice. High five from Poland
Having just bought a hellcat as my first micro 9 I appreciate this. Back to the basics for me-a couple outings ago with my 40 I was pulling everything. I went home and dry fired went back out and shot straight. Lil dry fire goes a long way
Genius is taking a complex task and making it simple to understand. Thank you.
Glad to see you going back to basics for the beginner. Please add more safety reminders so that becomes part of thier good habits. Thanks. Lots of new gun owners and very few of them are doing anything after the purchase.
This is great gaming advice. You will become a great games shooter and your scores and split times will increase dramatically. This is good advice for both beginners and experts alike. But this is horrible advice for self defense shooting where witnesses, video is present. The shooter is responsible for every round that comes out of the gun. If you are staged on the trigger as this video depicts and you are startled or stressed out to the max you may end up pulling the trigger negligently. Not so terrible when it's paper or steel you are shooting and points deducted. But legally devastating if your shot hits an innocent or the aggressor without justification. If the presenters of this video says this technique is equally good for self defense then run away because they are just a disaster waiting to happen. A shooter can become very efficient and accurate for self defense shooting without staging their finger on the trigger in a high stress situation. I will say that perhaps a highly skilled shooter could pull this technique off, perhaps even the presenter of this video, but I will submit that unless you practice this skill for literally hours each day, the average shooter will have a false confidence in their ability and find themselves in desperate legal jeopardy using this technique.
But you are not pointing your weapon at the target until you have made the decision to shoot. Weapon is low ready or holstered. Decision to shoot is made and weapon is pointed at the target with finger coming to the trigger (weapon close to chest). As you extend your arms you prep the trigger, firing the weapon as you hit full extension. If at any point in that cycle, the situation changes and you decide not to shoot, finger comes off the trigger and weapon goes back to low ready or holster. (At least that is what I understand from the video, happy to have someone point out where I am wrong, I am here to learn)
My compliments to Tactical Hyve on the initiation of this series. Not only great for new shooters but great review for beginners and intermediates! Repetition drills are essential to the formation of good habits…mental and physical. I coach a local Security Team and I plan to recommend they subscribe to this channel and monitor this series.
I'm a new pistol owner and I have a Beretta 92fs. Beretta's website says to not dry fire and only use snap caps (which I have). I believe I can achieve the same practice results by loading a snap cap and just cocking the hammer after each trigger pull instead of racking the slide, right?
Great videos, appreciate it. Will definitely help me get back to shooting better again after a long pause. 👍
I am by no means an expert, I am in fact a novice to all this, but pulling your trigger to just before the shot breaks sounds like an unintentional kill waiting to happen.This sounds fine for competition shooting but imagine your heart racing to the point where you can barely control you breath because you heard someone in the porch at 3am. Did your adult child get home late or is there an intruder? Should you announce that your'e armed just in case it's your kid, but risk giving away your position and then the door suddenly opens and your trigger is at "the wall". What do you all think?
Such a great series! I actually just got into fire arms and was looking for some content/drills like this as an intro to working with and improving pistol skills.
Good tip
Really starting to love this channel!! Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge!
keep it up
As a Call of Duty player, i noticed that using a mouse and keyboard is more accurate than using a controller when shooting targets
Interesting test. Using the pencil to determine if your trigger finger is independent of the rest of your hand.
The test is to see if one squeezes the trigger straight to the rear--not really about isolating the finger.
What if you shoot a perp and he falls to the ground but you accidentally shoot the perp again who's no longer a threat because your heart is pounding wildly and your trigger was at the wall? What if a DA can prove that it was the second shot that was fatal, What then?
Can anyone explain benefits of releasing the trigger? I was told to use the reset since it is the fastest way to take another shot without releasing the trigger. Thank you for replies !
Super helpful man. I’m having the issue you mentioned around the 7 min mark that I’m moving my other fingers when pulling the trigger which is causing my shot to be off to left
Keep this going it’s very informative.
Very good learning techniques esp with the release of the trigger and returning to “prep”. I, myself, do employ at times my laser on a wall and again watch for movement as any move movement will be exaggerated on the wall. Granted you’re not watching your sight or red-dot, but mixing it (if you have a laser attached) to focus on your trigger press itself. I have also used my night sight, wether 3-dot or just post even red-dot, in a darken room to work on the presentation and training myself the mussel-memory to reach that aligned sight height and position. As you mentioned, there are many ways to achieve that sight alignment as you demonstrated, but also one’s own imagination also helps. It’s all in gaining that Master Grip, repetition, your goal and one’s determination to achieve it. Great videos.
I skipped all this, cheated, and got a czp10c; it just hits what I point at
That would mean we can only practice with 1 gun

Excellent idea for a video series
Thank you UA-cam algorithms for finding y'alls channel!
As a beginning, I can't begin to send my appreciation!!!
Thank you everyone in the Tactical Hyve!!!!
Well, I just got back from the range and learned the hard way the shooting is a perishable skill. Also learning to shoot with both eyes open so that's a brand new challenge. I had a few good hits and "got back on the bike" towards the end though.
great content. really helping..please keep the lessons going
I have a Beretta 92x and practice dry firing in DA. I find it easier to ignore the sights in the sense that I intentionally tip the barrel slightly up and secure the target from a slightly lower position since I'm technically aiming higher. Feels smoother and a more natural process to secure the target without having to "find" the front sight since it's easily presented when the barrel is slightly nosed up.
I'm contemplating increasing the trigger pull by increasing the hammer spring. Right now its around 5lb DA and 2.5lb SA with LTT trigger and Beretta Match Hammer.
This is great! I've been shooting for ~20 years now, but the stance these days seems to have evolved to more upright (just as when I learned the stance had evolved from 20 years prior). Sent the video to a few friends who are new to shooting. Thanks for sharing the content.
Could still hear your reset upon your restaging. since the "click" is the trigger's point of shortest travel before it can actuate/be fired again. Going past that to a full reset on most striker fired pistols is adding more finger travel distance and pressure (probability of human error/deviation) in the act of following up and continuity of consistent accurate fire as Rarely are gunfights with handguns one shot, Engaging at it's reset/wall after an initial shot makes a practical and consistent ability to follow-up without added finger movement of fully releasing the trigger each shot on most striker designs. Different strokes i guess. Love the content still!
Learning where the first break is and where the firing wall is reminds me of when I learned how to drive a manual trans. Practicing where the clutch starts to pick up so I don't have to rely on the hand break while on a hill.
Can you share what in-ear protection you are using?
Great video. I enjoy very much reviewing the basics! There is so much to unlearn and re learn! Thumbs up!
I’m firearm ignorant and am trying to identify a firearm from a picture. I think it’s an AR-15 type, is there a place I can post the picture to get some help?
Great presentation. I enjoyed how you break down the different aspects of learning a new movement/skill; learn the movement, see the movement(physically and mentally), practice the movement. Keep them coming, good work.
If I may, I'd like to add something that helps me. I bought a laser cartridge for my 9mms, that revealed a number of my bad habits. When you shoot the laser at the target, if you get a dot reflection, you're doing well. If you see a red line reflection (either horizontal or vertical), there is an issue. It means your barrel is in movement when the trigger breaks.
This man has way to few followers. Klick a thumbs up and subscribe! I think he is an excellent instructor!
This is such a wonderful video! As a new shooter, I'm always looking for tips to improve. This channel is one of my absolute favorites. Can't wait to continue my way through this video series. 😃
This is really helpful. Especially learning the fundamentals with dry fire. Ammo is expensive and just shooting at the range without proper forms will not be beneficial
Aka..J Martinez here. Great work guys. We intermediate shooters need to be brought back to beginners status. Keep it coming. Your channel is becoming one of my most matched.
13:19 mins of very valuable information Love your videos and way of teaching, Hands downs one of the best instructors on YT. Thank you so much!!
I'm so glad I came across your channel, this will help me so much as I am new to shooting and took a course where the instructor showed me exactly what you're showing here. I now can go back to your video and continue to pratcice.
Is it ok to dry fire without dummy rounds? Will it damage the firearm? (P365)
Yes it’s ok
At the moment I just shoot for fun but I do intent on conceal carrying a new pistol I got. Getting use to the platform and breaking old habits has been my biggest steps. The thing that helped me the most was the video of isolating your trigger finger and the video of introducing movement (ie a figure eight) to your sights. Thanks for the help!
I say keep pushing out content. Anyone can always come back and review the information when they're ready. If the information isn't out there then there's no way for a person to consume it. Plus, sometimes you may hear something and it may not register until you're ready but the seed is planted.
does it damage a centerfire pistol to dry fire a lot?
As a new shooter, I really appreciate you making a video series for us. Very helpful and gives me attainable goals to reach. Kerr we p it up and thanks!
One of the best explanations of trigger pull I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video and the upcoming series!
Our pleasure!
This must be mandatory world wide
Or you can put an old fashioned under barrel laser on and not worry about disturbing your sights.😄
What are the blue ear plugs Milews is wearing?
This is perfect for me, im just about to start shoting with a gun. Been following you for a while now!
Excellent instruction. Looking forward to more videos. Semper Fi
I’m 11 and love these types of videos thank you so much for making them!
Just failed my qualification for my job at the range 🥲 Now I’m here.
My canik has no take up cuz I changed the trigger shoe but it's so beautiful to shoot with
Very helpful. Thanks.
Good stuff!!! Keep up the good work! Love this series…
Best info on YT IMO.
I’ve learned so much from y’all, thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!!! ♥️. I have ñever owned a gun, I now believe I need one now. Thank you!
I’m new to hand gun ownership, so I thank you for sharing these lessons.
😎🤘🍻. Yes sir. Great video
I can't wait for Thursday :-D I watched this three times already
Love these series
This young man gives excellent advise
I'm a bit late to this class, but thanks for the great info. I'm not exactly a beginner, but never had any formal training. Your videos are very much appreciated.
Question: can all guns be dry fired without a risk of damage?
For most guns dry fire is fine and even encouraged for practice, just not for rimfire calibers, like 22LR, where it can damage the gun.
Cool video thanks.
I know how to shoot. I just want to shoot better and more accurate.
Perfect! Thanks for this.
You bet!
What brand is this pistol you're using in this video?
Good stuff, take care!
Thank you
Very informative. Now I have to practice...
Been shooting for a long time, always good to go back to basics, and you explain things so well where i can use that to help teach my girlfriend and other friends how to shoot because even though i know how to shoot myself, teaching someone else is a very different thing
Shooting yourself is a bad idea
I am learning so much from this! Thanks Miles!
Ty for this..even if this doesn't get your aim amount of view I think the series will gather more views thru the years as more and more new people come and gives them a great starting point
And such a great idea to give us a week of dry fire to practice for upcoming exersice
I hope the Quiet kid in my school doesn't find this video
I found it ginger don't come to class tomorrow
This is very helpful thank you so much
Excellent
Thanks for all the knowledge
Slap like now!
