It's this sort of device... though I can't tell you which one he uses.

It was a superfast reload It would be cool to watch sustAined fire with those
Have you seen him on revolver reloads? Was he on Sons of Guns?
I know Jerry's brother Donnie. I have never met Jerry and I am sure he is a great guy. I love to visit with Donnie. He just an awesome person. The guy has a knack for telling stories. He is also a wealth of practical shooting knowledge.
Have you ever seen "Rolling Thunder"
ETA: By a group of guys that are good at it.

Because to hunt waterfowl the shotgun has to be plugged to only allow 2 shells in the magazine. If you can't reload 2 shells quickly then maybe you need more practice.

Dr. Rob is correct about the mechanism Jerry uses to reload his shotgun. Most competitors who shoot in Open Division use those products.
This year, I watched Jerry run a couple of stages at the Texas Multigun Nationals. If you think he looks fast on TV, you should see him shoot in real life.
His shooting abilities are downright astounding.
He's also a pretty nice guy.

Yes his revolver most impresses me he can probably out shoot 99% of the people using 33 rounders in a glock 9mm

I watched him shoot in the 2008 IDPA Nationals.
His total corrected score for the entire match was 234.08, with a S&W 625 .45ACP
He beat all but two of the 1911 shooters in CDP. He beat all but three of the Enhanced Service Pistol Shooters. He beat all but four of the Stock Service Pistol guys. He beat everyone else shooting a revolver in either SSR or ESR.
316 shooters shooting everything from a .38 Spc. revolver to enhanced 10+1 capacity single-action autos. He beat all but nine. That's only a little better than 97% of them, sorry.

The bet was ten rounds out of a semi-auto, integrally suppressed AK by Jerry against 10 rounds out a full-auto AK by Kris (Red Jacket employee). If Jerry won, he got the $2800 integrally suppressed AK for free.
Jerry fired his 10 rounds (ten pulls of the trigger) in 1.52 seconds. Kris got his 10 rounds (a single trigger pull) off in 1.40 seconds.
Jerry got beat by .12 seconds, but I think he ended-up buying the suppressed AK anyway.

Unless that suppressed AK cycles faster than that full auto AK, it would be impossible to be faster. The gun fires full auto as fast as it cycles without a delay like pulling the trigger again.

Believe me, there was no delay in pulling the trigger!!! Watched it last night (recorded previously.)

Then he should have gotten an equal score as the full auto, we ain't perfect.
Dr. Rob is on the right track, if not right on the money. It's a device similar to the one he showed in the link. Jerry actually showed the thing to me out at Clark's once, but I honestly can't remember exactly what brand it was or what it looked like exactly now. That was at least a year ago, and I've slept since then. He was showing us (my Dad and I) all of his three gun gear. Pretty neat. I don't know much about three gun, so he was telling us about it. I've only gotten to talk to him a few times, but every time he has been the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. A lot of times when you look up to someone who is the best or one of the best in their respective field, and then you finally meet them, you are disappointed because they turned out to be an <deleted>, or maybe just not who you expected them to be. Not so with him. He talked with us, demonstrated a reload with the above-mentioned device with his shotgun, showed us the optics on his M&P 15, let us shoulder it, the whole nine yards. He's just a really great guy.

In one of the training classes I took, someone refered to him (meant in a very nice way) as a freak of nature to be able to shoot and reload that quickly. We all laughed. If you sit back and think about it, even with practicie most can't do it that quickly. It does take a special tallent hence the comment which was used in fondness.

Yes, that's one way of putting it. There are people who practice a skill until they can do it so fast and so perfectly that most think it is nearly super-human. And then there are a very, very few people who have the perfect combination of physical quirks which -- when they put in those same decades of perfect practice -- will enable them to achieve something which is just out of reach for almost anyone else.

We took a revolver class from Jerry at my club about 6 or 7 years ago.. Jerry was showing us how to keep the gun shooting.. I heard later that someone on one of the other ranges asked who was shooting an auto pistol on the shooting bay we were on, and was astounded to find out that it was Jerry making the noise.. He's a very nice guy, and I see him every year at the IRC.. where he usually beats the rest of the pack by about 20-30 seconds.. I'm usually about double his time way down on the list..
The open shotgun shooters almost always use those devices known as speed sticks.. 4-6 shells as fast as you can send em.. but sometimes if they are left in the sun, the plastic ones can get a bit too warm and it's fairly painful to watch one of those things "blow up".. shells tend to go in every direction except into the gun..

As I recall, from tone to first trigger pull there was a 0.31 second delay shown on Jerry's overall time. They didn't show the tone to trigger delay for Kris.
I've seen some of his videos, and he is unbelievably fast, and accurate on top of it.
