  1. I love the inboard turn of the rifle during the transition…. HOWEVER, when i do it, i accidentally hit the mag release and i lose my mag when i pull the rifle back up. How do i fix this?

  2. If your rifle goes dry, you feel a click, or its a mushy trigger transition immediately. It should be an attempt to put the rifle on safe as your strong hand is screaming for your sidearm. If your strong hand can't do it as its racing to get a high firm pistol grip while breaking the retention on your sidearm, oh well. It didn't go bang when you pressed the shot for some reason. No need to look and identify that the rifle has a jam or is empty. Are you going to Identify a problem or see its empty in the dark? Nope. So get that pistol out as fast as you can and continue to do Gods work! Or the Devils work. Either way.

  3. It looked like your flashlight caught your holster. Would softening your holster with neads foot oil help to stow your weapon? Great techniques and video! BIll, a former Army MP.

  4. Great techniques Adam. Since I didn't hear the reasoning for turning the rifle INboard while transitioning to your sidearm, could you explain a little bit why you prefer this as opposed to OUTboard? Is this just a preference or is this so you can easily grab your rifle's broomhandle with your left hand while holstering your sidearm?
