Nice! Why don't you have a sling for the AR though?

Check your six...

Ok, I'll play  :evilgrin:

Here's my critic.. not to inflame you, but to give you something to think about to improve what you are doing.

Are you using a target? Flinging rounds down range with no target is bad practice, reinforces just pulling the trigger and not seeing what you are shooting at.

Why do you keep looking at the gun when it stops... wasted time looking at gun and evaluating what's going on...

Why the gun wiggle before the reload on the pistol... you wiggle the gun, drop the mag then pull it into your chest reload and go back to shooting... different schools will train you differently, but I prefer to [try to] reload with the gun up in front of you, so you can keep eyes on target, glance at magwell as you seat the mag and get back to shooting.

And again, use a target if your not... flinging rounds without knowing where they are going... bad form.

Last thing, get a timer!!!! You will kick yourself for not having bought one years ago when you finally get one. They are invaluable when doing drills to set your baseline, and know when you are improving, and what works and what doesn't.

Ok, one more last thing... you need to get to a 3 gun... drills are fun, but shooting under presuer... priceless!!!!

Luvmy45, he's looking into the chamber to see if he malfed or ran dry before reloading. Although I agree to a point, if you're going to your secondary don't check the the chamber, just dump it.

I believe that is a Magpul Dynamics thing. Not sure though.

I do, I also have a timer. I'm more operating "in the field" now so to speak, so I left a lot of things behind in Boise.

I check the chamber before switching to see if it's actually empty or a malfunction I need to clear later on. And then verify it again later. There were a few targets downrange.
