Kim's First Lesson - Journey of The Student Series 

I'm a beginning shooter. Thank you for providing this service to us. Very informative. You are appreciated! 👍🏼😊

I like your calm demeanor and matter of fact presentation. I'm not sure I want you instructing my daughters though :)

Thank you for this. I am working with my wife as well. Getting great tips and Techniques (taking lots of notes). I plan on being this "hands on" as well. :) .. Thanks again.

7 years ago and I'm still laughing . you guys have come a long way . thanks for the training and hands on . its good to be king.

Thank you for the great series, I just found them this morning with the carrying on the purse. I am brand new to shooting again, when I was in my late teens and 20's I was taught to shoot a 357 Magnum. I became very fearful of guns very fast, because of my 1st husband. It has been 30 years and my husband of the last 15 years, has many guns, I never was scared as he never took them out, he is very respectful of firearms. We have decided for my own safty it's time for me to carry, plus we can go to the range together, shoot up north etc. We have bought me a 9mm, and I can say from watching your series so far, I am learning a lot from you both. I will go for my CCW after I learned much more and have shooting time in. I have watched other videos and didn't feel it, so I have subscribed to your videos and I have learned by watching this video over and over how to manage the gun the correct way. I am one who likes to watch and learn, then try and that's in all I do. I want to thank you both for making these videos and help people learn the basics of doing things the right way. Keep it up and I will be watching all if your video's. Thanks again!!!

I just love your Videos thank you all so much for teaching me the fundamentals of a firearm :)

There are many "expert/professional" instructors out there in RU-vid land. You, sir teach EXACTLY the same way I do. Well done! If I were to have a RU-vid channel giving instruction, this is what it would look like. You do people a service and potentially life saving techniques. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for putting out these great videos. It's incredible how little movement you had and were able to get the gun back to the same position after each shot.

I'm only four minutes in to this and I've already gotten better instruction for the fundamentals than I did at a pistol basics class. That's likely because they teach you more about safety and how to properly handle a firearm rather than actually how to shoot. I'm looking forward to watching all of this. I especially appreciate the slow, clear way you're explaining everything. As a first-time female shooter like Kim, I need work on trigger control, because all my rounds are going low and to the left. I anticipate the sound of the gun going off. I'm heading to the range again on Monday...I'm going to put your training into action. Thank you for this series!

Hey now! That working with her posture thing... I'm gonna try that one on my next class.... Ok, not really. But I like the humor you brought. Good stuff.

Big difference from the 7th lesson. Well done Kim!!

Fantastic video! Thank you. I'll definitely recommend this video to others!

Oh man, I gotta get my wife into shooting. I didn't know there were all those touchy feely moments involved! Gladly, I've never had an instructor "instruct" so hands on.

Excellent video. Perfect for teaching my own wife the essentials at the range until we take our classes with a professional . Thank you.

Aint nobody mess with Kim! She has the best instructor ever!

About too work on getting the conceal carry these videos have definitely calmed my nerves a bit, certainly won't be holding it off anymore. Thank you!

Subbed Keep up the professionalism & playfulness. My wife anticipates the same adjustment procedure 😎

Great series! Thank you so much for posting!

Great video. I've had my CCW class, and I'm trying to get into more advanced handgun training. Unfortunately, all the classes in my area are filled up right now. I'm hoping to soak up some good info from this series.

This is step by step how I’m teaching my wife to shoot! 😁 Seriously... As always.. great tips and lessons.

Nice move at 3:55. Great video.

Very cool. I see how both thumbs are cradling the gun. I was putting my thumb (support hand) on the back of my holding hand and the slide comes back and slices it open. Now I see how to do it properly and it is going to make a big difference.

Millennial translation, "Keep your booger hook off the boom boom button until your ready to pew pew."

Good info. My wife is also new to shooting and I will be sure to have her watch this series. It is VERY important to me that she is safe as well as others (me)😉

The triangleis the most solid structure for steady and stable security in standing your ground efficiantly

Great video... OUTSTANDING Adjustee! Congratulations....

Excellent video. Kim did well. Cute 💑 couple. You are right on in your teaching material. Yet your hands on teaching style had me laughing out loud. Be well Sensi of the Gun. Great Respects. tj

So that's what he meant by "hands on"

good stuff chief!

Would like to come do a class with you. I have enjoyed your videos and the way you teach. Your teaching style is a lot like the way I instruct folks, and it's a breath of fresh air to see another professional not trying to teach a self-defense shooting class in one weekend to a bunch of new gun owners looking for their CCW. I wish new owners understood that one weekend class is not going to teach them to John Wayne in a bad situation! But so many people market these one weekend, get your CCW, and be a defensive shooter!! Heck, they could put the Military out of business with those results!!

Great Job Kim!! You got this!😁👍

Nice video. Thanks.

Great video, great series. I enjoy shooting, but my wife has never fired a pistol. I may use this series to get the info to her, and hopefully comfortable with shooting. Keep up the good work.

Awesome

Haha, gotta make those adjustments :)

Neil you crack me up bro!! Lmao

Nice thanks for the reply great videos looking forward to more videos

Where does Kim buy her jeans? So cool to see how much she has learned and progressed 😍 you have a fan girl here in TN!

the thumbnail is EXCELLENT

Very, very informative video. I learned a great deal watching this and plan to watch all of your RU-vid vids. But let me put in a request, if I may. I'd like to see some double-action revolver training vids.

I know its late to be commenting on it now, but I've already learned a few things after this being my second video watching from you guys. I don't know if you've done it yet, but I'd like to see technique while shooting a larger pistol like a CZ 97, or something like that, that has a huge grip on it. I feel like I barely have my hands around it....yeah, I know, thats what she said. LOL. Seriously though, I love video's like this bc I always pick up on something I'm doing wrong, even if its just reminding me to correct something I'm doing wrong. Keep up the good videos....2nd watched and already subscribed and liked, not just bc of Kim either. Love learning to correct technique to make myself a more accurate shooter. Its a great feeling when you go to the range and see the improvement with tighter groups of shots, especially as you move the target farther away. If I were to get good enough, I might think about competing, but I have a long way to go for that to happen.

Hey she has a Springfield! Good going!

Great video, very informative for a beginner.

This guy is lethal.. that intro though.

"Make sure you're all adjusted here. Excellent." (05:46) bahahahaha

Good instruction!

tackle and grapple!!

how about left eye dom art

To GFA, first is love your videos just as this one are very thorough, more than one thing stood out but will say after watching a bodycam from a officer in a gun battle that did good made a mistake on reloading and did not do like you did but held down and tried to put clip in the wrong way but quickly got it right.. Yes he was under much stress as being under fire Witch brings up on training, practice reloading, and from what I have seen from you would also include how to properly train also how you carry your extra clips and know witch way it goes in gun so you will never go through what that one did. I do want to thank you as you not only helped me but made me take a look at the way I do things now and how I can better them. By the way like many others love your way of checking position, LOL. Have not seen all of yours yet but will say you should make a video not only how one should do but what can happen when done wrong. Yes most videos do somewhat tell some but not all. .

The range is Super Hot! Great vids! Thanks.

Wow...this is a great video...very detailed! I was wondering about the opposite of the trigger part of the grip, since the two thumbs seem to be on the slide rather than the frame.

Great introduction video. I appreciate that you not only tell us what your doing buy why you are doing it; like keeping your finger off the front of the trigger guard. I also feel I have found my calling. I want to be a firearms instructor. :-) I have a question for you now. Especially with revolvers, I was under the impression that you were to never dry-fire a gun. This was something I learned 30ish years ago. These days I see many people dry-fire pistols and instructing you to practice by dry-firing while doing drills at home. Why is it okay to dry-fire a pistol? Is it a difference between hammer and striker fired?

Great vid! I'm glad you chose your wife for a student and not a male because it's very important that us females get much needed training also!

While dry firing along with this video, I realized I'm slightly bending my off-side (left) elbow, probably the remnant of a Weaver stance from back in the Dark Ages. An excuse for more range time! Thanks!

This was a perfect all in one lesson except my stance legs spread wider than shoulders do I slightly bend? do i move a support leg slightly back?

Assuming a right-handed shooter, does the thumb on my left hand when gripping the gun touching the slide or below the slide? I like your teaching style.

Close to Robert Vogels grip theory, nice. Where are you shooting at? Do you have a range out there? Great job on the videos.

Love the training. Honestly I think in the interest of equality females should be prompted in the way guys are. If you are reaffirming their position it should be done in the same manner. I think if everyone got training of this quality the world would be a better place AND no slide bite!

Great sense of humor since we know Kim is your wife! I'm gonna try that with my wife....

I noticed that at the end when you were shooting and you ran out of ammo in your gun, the slide didn't stay open, is that usual? Mine stays open. Sorry I'm new to firearms.

Hoping someone can answer this: Why did the slide NOT lock back on his last shot?

She did very well. I wondered if you did a dry run off camera.

Kim I to have a XDS 45 ACP currently I have a crossbreed holster don't like the double clip setup it's not very comfortable. I see you folks have a single clip holster for concealed carry inside the waistband can you recommend a holster for me that would work good with my pistol thanks Robert

New sub here great videos I am a springfield guy xdm 40 3.8 Can you do some videos on how you carry while driving do you have another gun you leave in the car or just move your carry gun to a different location? thanks

Just found your channel. I'm trying to get my wife to watch this series since she is just starting out as well. What model of pistol does Kim own? I can't tell from the vids and didn't see it in the comments. Did she have issues charging the pistol? She looks like she can charge it easily.

thanks for an informative video. how would your lesson be different if the student were firing a revolver?

Just subbed.

awesome vids....new subscriber here. keep up the great work. :-)

What kind of gun is that. My wife has difficulty racheting rounds into the chamber and that seems to be very easy to rachet.

It's probably better to teach new shooters (mainly women) to grip the pistol with a dominant hand, thumb down posture. This allows them to have a stronger grip of the gun (make a tight fist then raise your thumb, did you feel it get weaker?). If you teach them thumbs up and they can only get a strong hand grip then they are at a serious disadvantage from the draw. Just food for thought.

Geauga., great instructional. Do you think Springfield Armory are the best choise in your opinion?

Which hand gun is that please? Is it an XD? What model and size? I'm trying to find one for my wife. Thanks

why do you have state of Texas on your shirt sleeve if you're located in Ohio, just curious im in Austin, TX.

what happened to that last shot your slide never locked back?

Kim is absolutely working those jeans. I would be distracted trying to instruct her.

And, I for sure don't want her shooting at me! Of course, I also wouldn't give her a reason to either, her or Neal either one!

So you've said the student in the video was your wife. I'm also assuming she is new to shooting, and not just acting for the video series. How did you avoid taking her shooting when you were dating?

I am here to see comments about Kim...

Can't study. Kim keeps distracting me.

Did I see what I thought I just saw? LMAO.

You two are perfect together. Watching your vids makes me want to drag my wife to the range....you are a lucky man (I refuse to make any sudo sexual comments like I have seen by others on this channel--even though I want to).

Juno Temple.

Hey Neal do you adjust the bras on all of your lady students when you're positioning them for their stance? LOL

Why would you teach a new shooter on such a small format firearm?

Can we trade women? My girl hates gun range i gotta drag her by hair to get her there and teach her few things?

Mary Jane Watson twin sister.....

5:48 WTF?

Kim😍lol

Grabbing your SOs breasts during this demo was immature and un-professional. I was uncomfortable watching a woman being treated this way. She may not have said something, but I'm pretty sure it made her uncomfortable as well. You owe her and your viewers an apology.

Is Kim your girlfriend/wife?

AMYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER NEEDS A MACHINE GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did he just adjust her bra , yes I think he did

What the hell are you doing, Coach? at 2:40 she has her thumb on the 'Slide"!!! Are you kidding me??? Are you going to let her take her thumb off gripping the gun like that? And too: why don't you have her learning withy a low caliber gun? You're terrible!!! 👎

Subbed Keep up the professionalism & playfulness. My wife anticipates the same adjustment procedure 😎

Excellent video. Kim did well. Cute 💑 couple. You are right on in your teaching material. Yet your hands on teaching style had me laughing out loud. Be well Sensi of the Gun. Great Respects. tj
