After getting a good chuckle out of the other "training" video, I though I'd share this one... :)

Spot of trouble? :D

What kind of gun was that?

[BluesBear]

Some days it just don't pay to get out of bed.

[El Tejon]

Dear Heavenly Shiva and Vishnu!:eek:

I knew it was going to be bad when he started off by pointing the weapon at his thingie.:rolleyes:

[Greg L]

At least he didn't try to jam his cell phone into the butt of the pistol :D .

[TBeck]

It looked like a Glock, in which case the mags were aftermarket. It might have been an XD with factory mags, though.

XD with factory mags

[Preacherman]

For those of you who've been to Thunder Ranch: can you imagine what Clint Smith's language and comments would be like as he observed that on one of his ranges???

:what: :D :D :D

[TBeck]

Mas would have a few salty comments, too. Uttered in his usual calm, reasonable tone of voice that he uses when someone violates a safety rule. :rolleyes:

[BHPshooter]

:eek: What's the old saying? "Your next gunfight will be like your worst day at the range"... or something like that?

Hopefully he'll practice that... that would be terrible to have happen in a gunfight.

I love it. that was hillarious. all i could think of watching that video is the immortal words of some schmuck in another thread:

"you'll die fumbling with your speedloader" in refrence to revolvers and zombies.

he couldn't even get the mag out of it. alteast i can swing open the clynder of my wheel gun.

[Kharn]

Just a warning for those with kiddies nearby: the guy's got a pretty foul mouth. I wonder if he trusts that gun to save his butt in a gunfight if he cant get the magazine out of it in a hurry.

Too funny one of the days you should have stayed home in bed for sure.

[winstonsmith]

The best part is the cameramans encouragements: "Pull it, pull that ????ing magazine!"

[dukeofurl]

It got bad when he said "You should play the sanford and son theme"

It got worse when he decided to draw.

[riverdog]

All kidding aside, if this guy would slow down a bit he'd accomplish more faster. Training should start slow; speed increases with good form. IMO, this guy was moving too fast for his level of skill.

[BHPshooter]

Just watched it again, this time with sound...

Kharn's right, the guys have got foul mouths. Of course, maybe that's just practice for when it happens in a real gunfight. :D :D

Pointed the gun at his "thingy" way to often, pointed it at or nearly at the camera at least once and after he fired the first two shots his finger never came off the trigger.

He needs to learn the basics then work on the advanced stuff.

Work on safety.
Start slow.
Work on safety.
Keep it simple.
Work on safety.
Get the basics well in hand.
Work on safety.
Work on speed.
Work on safety.

I am really happy that no one got hurt. Why was the camera man in front of the firing line anyway?

FYI, all the type III stuff was done with plastic orange dummy rounds.

[riverdog]

Once you have the basics down and know the correct form, it's a matter of repeating those forms over and over again at whatever speed allows you to perform with zero errors. The guy in the video isn't close. I disagree with working on speed; speed happens, it comes by training with good form, not by simply rushing to do it fast.

[Double Maduro]

DVDTRACKER,

Nice that it was done with dummy rounds, I could swear that two of them went "bang".

I don't care if it was dummy rounds and or rubber gun, he was still unsafe in his handling of the weapon. If he is careless in training he will be careless in reality.

[Double Maduro]

Aren't the mags on an XD supposed to drop free? No sarcasm. honest question.

DM

[Treylis]

That was pretty funny.

The man was going way, way too fast for his level of skill, I agree. Especially considering that him trying to be all fast and macho just ending up with the gun being pointed in the wrong direction. I'd scare the hell out of myself if I did that with one of my guns.

[TBeck]

The mags on the XD do drop free. Something was either seriously wrong with the gun or he couldn't push buttons worth a darn.

[artherd]

damn. He needs to lay off the caffinene.

I don't care if the gun was plastic, his handling of it was abysmaly unsafe.

[Quartus]

At least he didn't try to jam his cell phone into the butt of the pistol .


That might have been an improvement! :D


He needs a day with a REAL trainer.

[Deep Blue]

Potty Mouths!

[BHPshooter]

Aren't the mags on an XD supposed to drop free? No sarcasm. honest question.

Yeah, they're supposed to. He's doing a type III drill which is a double-feed, right? During double feeds, sometimes the mag gets wedged in there pretty good, which is why you're supposed to rip it out.

Of course, that's if I'm remembering correctly... no guarantees of that. :uhoh:
