yea i usually do the slingshot technique just to see the round go into the chamber…but thats when im out in an open field hunting….but at the range and in some other cases your “cupping” technique is very nice….great video!!

Enjoyed the whole series. That’s something I have to work on, as on my Glocks I have extended slide catches/releases and love to use them. But if shooting weak-hand, etc., I would be screwed. Thanks for bringing this point up. Train as you fight, and in this case I need to modify my training. Thanks again, keep up the good work. Glad I found your channel!

Awesome video man! I’d done own a hand gun, but I’m still going to subscribe none the less!

Great video, very informative. The reason people slingshot their slide is because it allows the operator to visually see the round enter the chamber. I was taught to do it that way in the Marines. After I learned the cupping technique I have never gone back. Keep up the good work.

Hah, you know what? As a new guy with handguns(in the process of buying my first), I thought the sling-shot method was THE normal method haha. I couldn’t do that with my cousin’s empty Glock 23 but the day before when I went to check in on the handgun I was going to purchased, I played it safe with the way you demonstrated there as it’s MUCH more easier to me that way. Plus there was no fidgeting, not a lot of movement, it was just easy to rack and boom, that’s it. Thanks for the vid

@rollwave7587 There was no “cameraman” used for this video. Scrupulous attention was paid to safety throughout production. It’s noted beginning at about 10:55 that both “the mouse” and I chamber checked personally – several times – immediately prior to? taping. It’s best not to make assumptions about such things.

An entire 11 min video on how to rack a slide? Really? If you cannot rack a slide because it is too “tough” then you are either a female or a feminine male.
Ps- For someone concerned with safety so much you flagged the camera man at least twice, and your daughter did not personally check those guns before handling them. But good job anyway?

This is so true! it works fr almost every single gun as technique! i just realized i have been using this technique with my airsoft guns since i was small! Great video, man! Since im gonna go gun collector or like owner, it was very informative on how to shoot it and reload it! I’m almost ready for the zombie apocalypse that is possible to happen soon! (viewers, don’t comment bad saying it’s wrong, look up info in how the zombie apocalypse can actually happen)

i was trained like this (i was trained with a 1911) : 1 load a magazine in mag well 2 rack slide 3 acquire target 4 fire until either all your rounds are fired or target is eliminated 4 if target not eliminated hit mag release load another magazine and use slide release. repeat steps 3 and 4 until target eliminated

@JoeyB600rr Thanks for the kind words. I do what I can.

Great video man, very informative, i always questioned why i saw ppl tryin to rack the slide in the “slingshot” style when i try to do that i find it is much more difficult, and awkward. Thus me going with the more “tactical” style which i agree is more efficient and safe. First video i cam across of yours, and i will definitely keep an eye out for others. thanks for taking the time to put this up. Great for people not as experienced.

It was a good video. I personally have used the slingshot method for many years but occasionally I use the overhand method as well. I loved your video and your daughter is evidently very well trained. I am sure she will give any criminal all the hardship he could possibly want.
Great work.

Solid advice, high stress = little if any fine motor skills, forget that slide release. It bugs me when my Glock loads a round on its own after a reload because I know under stress I will rack that slide and put a perfectly good round on the deck. I love to watch guys at the range start out shooting very slow until they have 30 or so holes covering a target, cannot tell where they are hitting anymore, then its one handed mag dump time. Dirt shooters………. gotta love ‘em.

@Northemt88 Thanks. I am trying very hard to NOT do the ‘same old thing’ that you see on every other channel. Some of those are excellent, but I am just trying to be unique.

This kind of video is why i get excited when you post something. Its something of quality and substance. I have grown very frustrated with some of the fancy and overpriced nonsense videos on youtube. I love all of your videos man, thank you for taking the time out to try and teach us something or give us things to think out.
God Bless

I actualy have trouble with my Kel-tec (same as the Ruger LCP). I think my hands are just to large with that little bitty slide, lol. Well I will get it some day.

@BenevolentZombyJesus You should check out the younger on “The Armadillo” shooting bulls-eyes with her 22 cal Cricket rifle in my “Family Shooting” video. My oldest daughter is also scary proficient with a number of handguns, rifles and shotguns. I am actually forming my own “Deadly Viper Assassination Squad” of sorts, lol.
