I just discovered the awesome benefits of dry firing about a year ago. But you are right about the muscle memory of racking the slide after every shot. I haven’t ever done it with live fire but I have almost racked the slide after doing a couple of hours of dry firing then going in the backyard to see my progress with live fire.
This is the first I've heard of you guys, and this video is awesome. Simple tips, clean execution, expert advice and experience. This is the shit that makes UA-cam worthwhile, bless you guys, I'm a subscriber, can't wait to see the 24 hour torture test.
No reason not to look when reholstering your weapon. By definition you should reholster only if it's safe to do so and not under direct threat. Not looking is tacticool, but it may not be the best information to disseminate.
Something that was a game changer for me, hop online and buy a green gas blowback airsoft pistol in whatever pistol configuration you are going to carry, They're 1:1 weight for the most part, the slide reciprocates like a real handgun, and it's way cheaper than burning ammo on those days/weeks you cant get to the range. Keeps from building training scars that come with dry firing an unloaded pistol
Anyone have experience with the Coolfire trainer he’s using? What’s the longevity? I do a lot of dry fire and every product like it I’ve tried doesn’t hold up very well.
Have had great experience with my kit. 1000+ "rounds" had a few hiccups nothing i couldn't fix. I bought extra o rings and things when i ordered my kit
This is such a great channel. Chadd I don’t know if you would ever read this but if so I would love to see a backyard conversation about the process once you get assigned to your team after passing your final seal qualification training. Keep up the videos man!!
Thanks for the reminder. I bought a Glock 19 X air soft Gas operated pistol for force on force training and a Glock 19X co2 pistol BB gun. Both operate just like the real deal without the loud bang. I will share your video. Thanks!!!!
I know it is not dry fire, but I choose to use 22lr for lots of reps. It is cheap again now that I can get 100 rounds for about $12. I can use the same ammo for my 22lr AR and pistol so I can do transitions from rifle to pistol. Also if you get cheap ammo it will double feed or just screw up in general so I get to learn to clear issues of both.
Great tool but at about $600 for the basic kit and laser tip and near $1000 for the complete system with the feedback targets. Definitely more than most can afford. Awesome videos from you though Chad as usual tell it like it is and no bs. Thank you for your service Sir.
Hi sir ! Thanks for not only your service but your vids! Regarding my dry fire drills what product system did you use? I wanna use my own guns and co2 but couldn’t figure out what product you us ! Thx Dom Parr
For dry fire I also recomend the exact same setup as your edc but an airsoft replica it's a really cheap and fun way to train you can do it in your backyard without disturbing anybody.
Chadd, awesome drills! Where do I order the Cool Fire trainer? I assume it's weapon-specific per caliber, barrel length, etc. Is it available for a Walther PPQ SC 9mm?
Wow it costs a lot - but I really like the idea. Safe dry firing with the ability to shoot multuple shots v rack the slide, pull the trigger, rack the slide...................ad nauseum.
I committed to shooting 1,000 round case of ammo a month. It’s a lot of work.. however it’s been 5 months since I’ve been doing this. I feel so much more confident at what I’m doing. Great video. I need a dry fire tool. Getting bored of racking everytime hahah
You should always look at your holster when putting the pistol back in, and when drawing it out, you should never look at your holster. The reason you would not be holstering if an active threat was still present.
Can someone explain how its useful to be fast at reholstering without looking? Seems lile the weapon system should only be put away when the scene is safe
With the shot cadence, should we be practicing shooting the target more than once if the target is down with one shot? The reason I ask is because of witnesses. If the target goes down with one shot and we keep shooting them we could be in trouble with the law or am I not thinking about it right? I am new to dry firing so I don't know the ins and outs.
I conceal carry every day and have been for 25 years. These Chad vids inspired me to work on my pistol skills. NOW I dont like how I carried my pistol and are having a time trying to figure out where I want to draw from. Apendix carry guy prev. Now I just dont know lol But my grip , stance, And understanding are much better, Just the draw part is my weak point.
I’m originally a Ga boy and might be near Atlanta in a week or so. Can I come support the true form running challenge in person? Fellow combat vet and big fan of the channel.
Amazing video. The drills listed here are definitely worth practicing regularly. Being nitpicky here. But during the shock cadence drill, you mentioned that you want to keep shooting until the target is “eliminated.” Most people when they hear “eliminated” they think “kill the target”. Thinking like this will likely end you up prison. We never want to shoot to “eliminate a target”, we want to shoot until we are 100% certain at the target is no longer a threat. In most cases, this may be the same thing, but for all my CCW guys out there, shooting to kill will send you to prison.
It makes me so mad that they don’t sell that system for my FN. I was very excited to get the recoil feedback with dry firing. Anyone know a system like this that supports FN?
My 'dry fire' ■ is empty communion wine bottles at the door frames; if in use, I fire off my mouth, "With the Lord God's help...in Jesus name; thank you Father and your Son."
Great content I appreciate the infor Cool Fire Trainer is probably a good product. I’ve tried to call them to place an order. But they don’t return phone calls or emails. I even tried FB which they sent me a message back a month later & said they would contact me. Maybe one day they’ll call me back! Lol
You can refill them yourself with dry ice. Look at the weight on the side of the can, put the can on a scale while you fill it up to that weight. Once you get the right amount of dry ice in there, screw the cap back on. The caps for the soda stream bottles have a valve you have to seal up or all the co2 will escape. Some grocery stores sell dry ice by the pound. Just break it up with a hammer and pour it in with a funnel. You need a narrow funnel, which gets clogged easily, so I would use a chopstick to poke it down and clear the clog. Get more dry ice than you need. You will have a loss as it melts and evaporates, which happens fairly quickly. If you only have the one canister, start with 2 pounds until you get your process down and can get away with less.

Yep, same!
Coolfire is a very expensive kit but well worth the investment.
Don't forget use code PROJECT to save $25 on your CoolFire!

What about dummy rounds/snap caps? Does anyone know if those are good?

I got a Glock switch so I just have to hold down the trigger and sweep toward the next target

@@jeffmaton593 thanks! Just placed my order.
One of the best dry fire videos I've seen. Excellent information and a nice system.

Toda mi Admiración como siempre!!!!
Un abrazo desde Argentina!!
PATRIAE SEMPER VIGILES.
I do dry fire all the time because I cant make it to the range often. I will try these. I practice mag changes as well.
Thanks for the reminder. I bought a Glock 19 X air soft Gas operated pistol for force on force training and a Glock 19X co2 pistol BB gun. Both operate just like the real deal without the loud bang. I will share your video. Thanks!!!!
Are you able to run them without firing bbs?
@@Pressingontoperfection, You will have to check the manual.

Cmmg conversion kit is awesome 😎
Why would you not look at your holster when you're putting the gun away.
Especially appendix 😂😂😂
Yeah that's dumb. You'll never get cool points for holstering quickly and blowing your dick off.
Identify additional risks.
Thank you for the drills! That tool is amazing and I'm definitely picking one up.
Good morning Sir. What is the equipment you are using? Tool, belt , holster
He has videos for each of the questions you just asked
@@IronSharpensIron127 so why not just answer the question? Jerk off
For the cost of the cool fire I can buy ammo, a lot of ammo..
Great tool but at about $600 for the basic kit and laser tip and near $1000 for the complete system with the feedback targets. Definitely more than most can afford. Awesome videos from you though Chad as usual tell it like it is and no bs. Thank you for your service Sir.
What a Viking of a man🫡🇺🇸🙏🦾
Coolfire or Mantis? Which do you prefer/recommend? Thanks. Much appreciated.
You can also use airsoft replicas.

Excellent presentation with useful information. Many thanks!
Can you help me understand why you don’t look when holstering? Seems like a dangerous practice
Thanks for sharing more great info. I can see many good training applications for this product. Keep on keeping on. And as always God bless!

It's very rare I go 1 or 2 days without dry firing .

Where can I buy one of those

Zero firearm safety training wow he nearly shot that man point blank
How long does a bottle co2 last if you dry fire 15 minutes for 5 days
That's a very valid point for dry firing- racking it after dummy rounds! What is this system?
Absolutely...but it's hard to get folks to become a dry fire person..thanks.
Hard to watch a video with such bad diction but very good info
It makes me so mad that they don’t sell that system for my FN. I was very excited to get the recoil feedback with dry firing. Anyone know a system like this that supports FN?
What's the system ?
What kind of pistol was he using as his trainer??
More drills! Can you come up with one’s that incorporate cardio?
Great video 👍How do you refill the bottle.
What is the name and Where did you get that dry fire kit
Thank you! This was so helpful and informative
Nice cabin
Great drills. I am adding these 3 for at home.
My 'dry fire' ■ is empty communion wine bottles at the door frames; if in use, I fire off my mouth, "With the Lord God's help...in Jesus name; thank you Father and your Son."
Let’s see how that help you in a shootout
What’s the name of the cool fire product you use?
Great video Chadd! Thankyou for sharing your experience with us!
I'm a novice. thought this would destroy the firing pin
Dry fire is fine. No damage done to the firing pin on modern handguns. That is is myth
Do they make that co2 barrel and bottle to work with any other makes and models?
Yes
Why would you not look at your gun when you're putting it back in the holster? You wouldn't be reholstering while under threat.
Say you’re transitioning to a slung rifle. Eyes on target. Not on your holster.
@@wesleykrall9753 Good point.
awesome
Great video brother. Dang, I'd love a coolfire but they are pricey .
Yup, but so is ammo! :)
What dry fire tool is he using?
I think he said "cool fire training"
Where can I buy one?
Blessings and love
👍☠
Cool fire trainer
Awesome 😎
couldnt be more wrong.

👍👍 Great info!
Thanks Chad!
Thank you Sir
Thank you 😊
Thanks CW, for your service and also for the great information you give us civilian soldiers.
This is a great concept, I just wonder about refilling Co2. not sure where I'd do that around here
What brand of dryfire system were you using please?
