  1. Interesting take on the deliberate load sequence. You don’t see it being taught often enough. I teach this in all of my courses as well with a few differences. The biggest being to keep the finger off the trigger until it’s time to actually shoot. However, I can see where that might be common practice in some more aggressive and professional circles. IE, certain special operations teams which is primarily who teach the deliberate load to begin with. I’ve never seen the tac mag reload added to the end of it either. At first I thought it was a bit overkill but when you go back to the reasoning of why we perform the sequence to begin with, it’s to build muscle memory and get those reps in. Set ourselves up for success. In those terms it makes sense. The trigger travel reps issue is going to get negative social media comments from guys who don’t realize that shooting is very fluid. It’s always advancing and changing and in some circles, people may do things differently for different reasons. I’d venture to say many of the people who take issue with that portion of the drill haven’t mastered the trigger yet and aren’t up to speed on a lot of the advanced handgun techniques as applied to follow up shots or rapid and in rhythm strings of fire. IE, riding the recoil to trigger reset, etc. things that require an intimate knowledge of that breaking point and the pressure it takes. Just my two cents

  2. As you propel your hands towards the defensive technology. Bump your linear controlled ammunition device. Remove linear ammunition device and propel it towards highly engineered machined defensive technology. Now pull trigger system on highly engineered machined defensive technology. Your solid mass projectile should now propel towards victim.

  3. Had to “thumbs down” only because he’s teaching folks to not only put their finger on the trigger when not on target and ready to fire, but also to take the slack out.
