      @@Mark-in8ju stay target focused and react to your sight picture. You can do this at even an indoor range, start from low ready, focus your vision on your target, raise the firearm to your eyes and as soon as you have an acceptable sight picture pull straight to the rear. It is very difficult trying to hold the sights on target and take a perfect shot and not anticipate the recoil (especially for a beginner). After doing this for awhile you will learn that the recoil is no big deal. Basically distract yourself from the recoil by focusing on target.

    • @tigarxox
      @tigarxox 6 місяців тому +1

      The power isosceles stance. Be sure to flex at your knees as locking your knees will increase the recoil effect. Both eyes open, iron sight at eye level. After every shot reset iron sight to eye level. Take your time to aim center mass. Tip: weapon on safe, load magazine, chamber one round. While pistol is on safe cock the hammer back. With hammer back this reduces recoil on first shot. I’m only familiar with the 9 mm beretta, but concepts are the same.

      @auntysocialist You make an excellent point too. And considering neighbors and how easily rounds penetrate walls. A lot depends on your residence, e.g., apartment, duplex with only drywall between, if a house, how far is the next house, how many trees and/or hills are between, brick, vinyl siding, or hardy board exterior walls, thickness/density of glass windows/doors, what rooms are your family members/roommates in and is there anything besides drywall between. Many caliber bullets penetrate several layers of drywall effortlessly. So many variables. Safety first.

      @@shmuelrosenbluth9741 good thing that none of the weapons in this video can shoot 30 rounds in a single second. None of these are select fire or fully automatic, these are semi-automatic firearms. The term "military grade" isn't accurate either, as the military DOES have weapons that are fully automatic, so these are actually, in some ways, less than "military grade" as you stated. You need to seek out some deeper, more informed resources around firearms. I respect your opinion, but it's built upon a lot of misinformation. A pistol has several detractors that make it less ideal, including ammo capacity, and being far more difficult to shoot accurately than a carbine.

    I love these videos. I agree with Brett. My AR-15s are my favorite guns that I own. Followed by my AKs, FAL, and SKS. I carry a 1911 in .45ACP in a shoulder holster for my usual concealed carry. I wear a hoodie with a zipper over it. I occasionally carry Glocks or SIGs. I have always taken security very seriously. My Dad was a Federal Agent killed in a helicopter crash. He taught me to always be prepared. The one thing I wasn't prepared for was when my uncles broke into my house and destroyed thousands of dollars of stuff while I was out of town. They didn't even steal anything to keep. They just threw a bunch of stuff away. They threw away a bunch of my Dad's stuff and a ton of my things. I am waiting for a transplant and when I was in the hospital at 17, the University of Tennessee football team sent me a small Christmas tree with UT decorations, and a team book signed by a bunch of players and coaches. I loved those. They threw them in the dump. My only saving grace was when they tried to break into my gun room/vault they activated the alarm. I never thought I would trust perfect strangers more than family, but live and learn.

    A solid door is essential. Many house doors are hollow and can be knocked or chopped through in less than a minute. I have 200 year old oak door with bolts top and bottom. Its solid but bolts into the jamb top and bottom give it four points of locking.Hinges also need to be really solid. Its worth getting a good lock smith to check your home. Its amazing how easy it is to get in and they will advise you how and how to stop it.
    If you want real security, I used to have a door in London which had a steel sheet inside it and multi locking points.

    Not to mention that shotguns are very hungry. 5-7 rounds and you're reloading. Constant top offs if there are multiple attackers. Clint Smith covers this in great detail. People have been told you don't have to aim a shotgun (just be point close to the target) because of the spread of the shot, but at 7-10 yards, most patterns will still be the size of a fist.

    Great video thumbnail! Imagine a reboot of 'Home Alone' starring Lucas Botkin. We think this version would not appeal to Democrats. But there is huge potential in this. This concept far surpasses the excitement of the original movies, despite their excellence, and is really needed in today's age, good defense examples at home. Colion Noir would be the best person to be a part of such a film, to represent such a symbolically important film for America with you, as he looks like a great actor possibility too, just like you. . Also, Great special forces team mate selection Lucas! Your special operations Millenial force and Gen Z force is taking shape already, as per your destiny, because the people that meet you, are the right people! This video showcases the remarkable potential of UA-cam influencers as action film stars, outshining traditional Hollywood icons, due to the sincere appreciation and meticulous devotion to the professional work craft, rather than the devotion to the acting craft. . Want to be ready for any national emergency or challenge America, even standing up to China military, or AI arms race, or ending the international cultural war that gives so much division in America? A trillion-dollar army might fall short, and is probably not going to fix this. But teaming up an engineer with Lucas Botkin, a person who could rival Tom Cruise if the right film projects materialized, would give the action stars a run for their money and would continue the Tom Cruise Top Gun spirit for America. By creating media with companies such as DailyWire, along with high analysts & their technology, a few influencers from UA-cam , DailyWire & Lucas, could make everyone change their work ethic and cooperation levels to achieve like Lucas.

The .357 was the most painful to shoot and most difficult to aim because of the kick back. Overall, AR-15 and 9mm were my two favorites from that week. 😊

As for the actual moment of the trigger pull, just keeping a solid grip, holding tight, making sure you don't get in the way of the slide when one exists (learned that the hard and painful way 🤣😂), is the best advice I can offer. I'm not a pro, I have very little experience, and I've never taken any official safety course.
