Revolver Training Drills (New & Old)

These links have been posted before by myself and others but in case you have not seen them here they are again. The process taught here has made a big difference in my group sizes. The videos are long but worth the time in my opinion. Don’t skip the lecture in the first link. It explains why the range experience in the second video works. These guys are shooting semi autos, but the process works for revolvers just as well.

I like the videos that Clint Smith has on revolver reloading and shooting.





I also like this video that Paul Harrell has.



Here is Massad Ayoob's stressfire reloading technique.



Also, and this is definitely old school:

https://blog.krtraining.com/ has been reviewing older training protocols.

Claude Werner - https://tacticalprofessor.wordpress.com/ does a great deal with revolver drills.

One way (of many) that works and can be a lot of fun. Grab your favorite revolver and some speed-loaders or moonclips and go to your local IDPA or USPSA match and figure it out with your gun, and your gear. It will be a lot of fun and you will get a much better idea of what questions to ask and what changes you need to make to your technique and equipment. Practical shooting sports like those are great test bed to test your technique and equipment.

The best time and place to find out your gun, equipment or ammo isn’t reliable or effective, or your technique isn’t up to par... is BEFORE you need them. It’s too late if it’s life or death time. When you are at a range where you can put them through some realistic drills you learn a lot about what works and what doesn’t.

Everytime I run my guys through cover garment/plainclothes handgun drills, or after we get issued a new bulletproof raid vest that kits out different than the old one did, I get 5-10 of them who find the stuff they put on with the molle attachments needs to be moved, swapped for something smaller or ditched completely in order to gunfight.

Same goes for CCW drills with revolvers (or autos), without forethought and practice a lot of eyes get opened wide.

Good stuff above, hopefully you can shoot somewhere where you can practice properly .

Stay safe.

Does anyone know where to get one of the holsters shown in this video at the 4:00 mark? I have looked on google but can't find one exactly like it.

Looks like a variation of the Border Patrol holster. Many holster makers have their own variations...not always for revolvers and usually including a safety strap

Thanks. But the holster in the video doesn't have a retention strap and rides higher because the belt loop is folded right at the top of the holster. I did a pretty good google search yesterday and never found a holster like in the video. But it would be a simple holster to make. I just need to get more leather. I ran out a year ago and haven't been to the leather store since then.
