@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 Год назад

Good stuff John, however, after teaching LEO's for some 30 years to use "front sight, front sight, rear site", then red dots popped up and everyone was having problems "finding" their red dot. So, after much research, we found that instead of teaching "front sight", we now focus on "Target" rather than "front sight". This matters because it does not matter how you draw your weapon because your focus is on the "target" not the front sight. We found that most if not all students "found" their red dot without having to "search" for it. Just my .002 worth, oh and it might help you to not get yourself killed while trying to "find" the red dot.

@chucknorris5141 Год назад

I just realized this last month. I kept searching for my dot and struggled to do so. Once I focused on the target, the dot naturally appeared.

@markburnett8699 Год назад

Absolutely legit! I discovered this during competition, if I focus on my target, my front sight appeared on target. Very fast sight aquisition. Surprised me how quick it happened.

@groundzero. Год назад

@jimfiore4671 Год назад

I always tell people to just sit and draw. I practiced drawing for weeks before I started carrying 1. I probably practiced my draw 2,000 times before I was able to get it to the point where I always saw the dot. You should be practicing that draw at the very least until you see that dot every single time you draw. So when people say they don't like it because they can't ever find the dot I laugh, because that just means they don't practice. It's not very hard to get to the point of seeing it every time. It just takes a tiny bit of patience, dedication and practice. God bless

@TheBrigandBob Год назад

I never understood the training curve to red dots on pistols. When I got my first red dot, on dry fire, upon presentation, it was there every time. The only thing I had to make a conscious effort to change was focusing on the target instead of the sight, but that's already what I've been doing with optics on rifles for years. Literally little to no effort for an instant cheat code level upgrade.

@oklahomahank2378 Год назад

Apparently you were already making a good draw. I was taught (many years ago) to draw the way he described Terrell drawing, which is an old revolver technique. Breaking myself of that will take time.

@TheBrigandBob Год назад

@@oklahomahank2378 Yeah, I've only been really serious about training and shooting for about five years, started following John about six years ago, and picked up almost all of my stuff from him the first handful of years before adding others to the mix, so I think that's likely it. I just got lucky coming across good info and trained good habits and HOPEFULLY minimized the bad habits, though I'm sure I have plenty of them. I think I just got lucky on the red dot situation.

@oklahomahank2378 Год назад

@@TheBrigandBob That’s great. I was trained in revolvers as a young man, 1960s, and we were taught that “muzzle up quick” draw, which was an old police technique. My first semi training was the old Chapman Academy about 1998 or so? They had their hands full correcting my grip and stance, which were terrible. In the several classes since then I don’t think anyone has ever really discussed the second position. Maybe I should take a class from Warrior Poet. The way he describes that makes sense. I bought a red dot and am trying it.

@danclas5983 Год назад

I never was interested in RDS because everyone said what a learning curve there was to them. Then about 2 years ago I had the chance to try one and from the first draw the dot was there for me and I've never had a problem with them. I think the key to picking up on the dot is focusing on the target and not the sight.

@MegadethTillDeth Год назад

Good stuff John. This made me reevaluate my draw that I learned from you years ago, to make sure I wasn't getting too sloppy. I kinda was.

@JustWhyFFS Год назад

What helped me the most was a revelation I had during dry-fire training. Don't look for the sight. Rather, know the sight will be there when you pull the gun up properly with both eyes open. Sounds simple but trust me, it can take a minute to break your mind from "seeking the sight," if that's what it wants to do naturally. So again, with good technique, it's easy to overcome.

@papimaximus95 Год назад

Good observation. We normally say bring the sights up to the eyes. So find your target with your eyes and then bring the gun/sights to your eyes.

@barkermjb Год назад

Good points John! I’m two years into transitioning my duty pistol over to RDS. Been a blast as I’ve learned. Practice practice practice is key, using timers and other methods to induce a level of stress so you can perform under fire. Too many officers have used poor transition training and they’ve found out that under stress they were unable to reach a level of needed combat proficiency. So don’t shortcut your transition and DO NOT call your transition “good” after a minimal one day transition course. You better get you, your RDS equipped pistol, and your kit out to the range in daylight and lowlight conditions and you better use stress-inducing techniques so you reach absolute combat proficiency. Smooth IS Fast…. Earn your speed… 💯

@MichaelWhite76 Год назад

Good stuff John. I teach MRDS transition classes for my agency. I’d add one for the “fisherman” shooters is to engage the pinkies. Most of them have the opposite issue of the bowlers and their front sight is too high; squeeze the pinkies and it will come right back. Well said about not short cutting the learning process; it becomes a slightly different body position for those that have been shooting for a long time. 👍

@crackshot-tv Год назад

As always great content. Something else that helped me was USPSA shooter Scott Jedlinski's modern samurai project. It's a very similar technique to what John is suggesting here but perhaps a little more accentuated in the initial pointing up with the pistol to find the dot (the dot always naturally falls down from 12 o'clock to the center as you draw). John's way is essentially identical with a little bit of nuanced difference, find what works for you!

@crackshot-tv Год назад

Also loving the agency arms 417 comp. I just bought one and am super excited to play around with it.

@EriktheDev Год назад

Scott may be changing his methodology soon, a video of him with Point 1 Tactics and some other skilled pistol shooters came out where he was finally sold on the idea of a more efficient draw that looks more like a straight line rather than the arcing motion that he's been teaching. Everybody is working to improve, even at the highest levels!

I have made two good faith efforts with red dots and abandoned them both times. Your first scenario of where the number two position is slightly canted and offset to the right is me. That was the number two position when I learned it 25 years ago. That was what we were taught. I don't know how many repetitions it would take to fix that now but at least it's something I can try.

I’m old school, I’m absolutely against red dots on a defensive pistol, give me steel every time. Steel sights pretty much stay in place, I know where they are at, don’t need to plug steel in, turn it on nor warm it up. It never runs out of power. Disclaimer: I tried red dots for three years, no go for me. Save them for pop cans.

@dknollRX7 Год назад

Great video, as always. Another option that has worked very well for me is the colab between Holosun and Primary Arms…the ACSS reticle version of their 507c. It has a chevron reticle with a 1 MOA tip of the chevron and a large outer ring that you won’t see if the pistol is presented properly, but if you’re off, that outer ring will quickly let you know you’re off and will guide you to your chevron reticle.

I Want One Of Those! Is It Super Cool?

@dknollRX7 Год назад

@@Dunecoone I have two of them. I’d suggest trying to look at a Holosun optic in person and see which color works better for your eyes, green or red. I ordered the green before seeing it, as so many people said it worked better for them, but for my eyes, the red works much better and is clearer. I’ve had LASIK and I’ve heard that may cause some slight astigmatism, but for me the red was better. So that’s my only warning. They’re great optics and very intuitive. You don’t have to think about it at all…it’s very natural.

Holosun 509c vulcan acss for larger pistols, and 507k vulcan acss for smaller pistols. They come in either green or red. They also have a side loading battery, so no need to remove the site to change batteries. And, no rezeroing after battery change. I would argue the best dots for shooters new to dots.

One thing I'd add that you're doing but didn't touch on; during deliberate practice make sure you're only moving the Arms and the gun to your eyeline. Instead of moving your head and eyes to the gun. Once I started focusing on keeping my head as still as possible I found that I wasn't chasing the dot, and my times went down by .1 or .2 on the timer. I was unaware until my guru started filming my head dropping ever so slightly at the end of my draw stroke. Having a buddy film you is a good way to identify the small nuances that push you past a performance cap. Thanks for being a positive voice in the community sir.
