    Posted some new shooting videos of transitions and such to YouTube. I'd appreciate any comments or critiques you have. If you're bored, hopefully they're entertaining.

    1) Why do you look at the rifle before transitioning to pistol, other than Costa does it? If the gun doesn't work and bullets are flying back, don't waste time looking. If the target is within handgun range, IMMEDIATELY transition. If the target is outside handgun range your options are: reload immediately, immediate action, remedial action, movement (to cover), or a combination of those. Remedial action is the only one that involves looking at the chamber.
    If the rifle doesn't work, for whatever reason and you need to transition....quit wasting time looking and get back into the fight. Are you really going to stop and fix a problem if you see one when your secondary firearm is there & ready?

    2) drive the rifle on transitions to multiple targets. You can use your hips a bit as long as you don't end up dancing. You split times between targets should match your controlled pair splits. Use Kyle Lamb's 2x2x2 drill to work on evening out your cadence.

    3) you can pick up a bit more time by repositioning your holster a bit up and towards the front of your leg. Drop holsters are designed to get the gun out of the way of armor....your armor panels are up high. Also, the further back you have to reach for you pistol, the longer it takes. Try running with it directly on your side...if flops back and forth and throws off you pace. The further down it is, the more it flops. Get it up and more foward. We usually end up removing the upper strap on the Safariland 6004's to get it up where it needs to be. It's also a pain in the butt to get in/out of a vehicle with the holster lower.

    4) know where your mags are. Every time you reload your pistol, you look down. When you take your eyes off the target...it moves somewhere else! Reload in your workspace, looking over the top of the pistol in front of your face, not your waist.


    Other than that, nice work. Be cautious of doing movements "just to practice" and inadvertantly building them into your routine subconsciously (ie, look 360 deg). Practice does not make perfect....Perfect practice makes perfect.
