The fact that he can respond to trolls or “experts” this well, almost without even trying, is one of the reasons why I put my faith in everything Mike stands for.

The evil side of social media, as a boxing fan who competed at a high level in martial arts when in my later teens early twenties, you wouldn’t believe how many keyboard warriors I have seen telling professional boxers how to fight and criticizing them though 99.9 percent of them have never been involved in fist fight against some even moderately trained. As a Conceal Carry guy, every time a spec ops guy gives his advice on holstering or unholstering techniques or anything related to shooting and survival tactics, I listen, they are the professionals.

I spent 16 years in law enforcement, two SWAT schools, 22 years in the Army with combat tours. Everything Mike is saying about the belt setup, drawing, putting it away, and such is the same thing I was trained to do. I got more training on pistol use with the PD than with the Army, he is on point with this video. Great job explaining everything brother.

The "acquired grip vs just pulling up" was a huge takeaway for me. I typically run a smaller single stack EDC and it's not easy to grip quickly like my full size, and I realize now Ive been approaching my draw practice wrong.

I like my definition of an “expert”... ex is a has been and spert is a drip under pressure. Yeah, I don’t bother with the self proclaimed experts. I think of that guy with the drunken rant against Paul Harrell. That dude fit my description of “expert”.

Thank you sir for such a good content. I was then a police captain in the Philippines and got few gunfight experience too in fighting our criminality problems there to which the international community (particularly US) criticized us for our war campaign against illegal drugs. I'm not an expert in guns but I was only trained in Intelligence clandestine operation especially on how to develop human assets to attain our police mission objectives. In my 12yrs of police career, one thing that I would consider most important in surviving gunfights is to have that element of surprising your enemy. If you are being held at gunpoint, don't act, wait for your turn to make an ambush or in a way that you can surprise your opponent. I agree with all your concepts on how to draw your pistol, that is really helpful and can make a big difference in a life and death situation. Thanks again and I admire your passion to share your knowledge.

This was actually one of the most well thought out and educational response videos I've ever watched on KZread.

I’ve been in a few gunfights myself, and everything he is saying is stuff I do, and teach others. And not looking at your holster is specifically something I mention. When you are just finishing a gunfight and it’s time to retain your weapon, you’re damn right I’ll look at my holster, because I have massive amounts of adrenaline running through my body, and a lot of your fine motor skills dwindle. So I want to minimize the chances of me shooting myself in the leg just because I was not concentrating. Those who have never been on a “two way range” only practice to look cool on Instagram.

Mike's the most detailed instructor per his content I've seen online. Everything's explained in a well versed orchestra of action and intention down to butt cheek positioning. That last part was a joke, cheers Mike..

SGM, this is exactly how you taught us when you were in DFW, TX @ Range 35. Real world scenarios from someone I trust you more than anyone else i have ever trained under. I thought I was better than the average shooter, but the things you taught us (just like when Dave Acosta trained us) is from your "real world experience). I'm so glad I attended "Gunfighter courses" from Fieldcraft Survival b/c every single exercise has made me better at keeping myself and my family safer. Like I told you that day at Range 35, you may never know the vital success your teaching has given one of us. At 60 yrs old and 100% Disabled Veteran with my own career in the Army, I came in with a few bad habits from someone who merely called themselves a SME, but in reality never even fired their weapon in a life or death situation. Our courses with FCS were NOT teaching mere fundamentals. Exercises we did in FCS Gunfighter courses are given to us on more of a real world SHTF scenario. STAY ALERT, STAY ALIVE! Drive on SGM!

Draw looks great. It’s how I was taught. Much respect and glad you made it through those gunfights. You’re the real deal.

Mike, you did an excellent job of delivering a definitive response to the stupid trolls out there! I would trust your training with my life as well as my family’s lives! Thank you for your content and above all thank you for your service Sir!

Love this dude, always has the best content around, and i love your company Mike!!! Keep it up. Your 1 man cqb through a house was awesome and so thorough

As a graduate from FLETC I appreciate all your knowledge and experience your bringing to the range. Thanks and stay safe brother.

Seriously? Mike Glover has forgotten more about handling firearms than these critics will EVER learn. What a bunch of unteachable buffoons. Mike has had a career on the tip of the spear and is alive to talk about it. He must have been doing it right. All the wannabe critics would never have made it to the tip of the spear in the first place, much less lived through it. Thank you, Mike, for your service, for taking the time to teach others, and for your patience. Blessings to you and yours.

Mikes looking thin. I need more Mike in my life.

Pretty amazing that someone of this caliber would take the time to explain all this! Thank you for your service. New subscriber here :)

I appreciate your perspective. Your an expert at what you do and so humble to say to everyone that you continue to learn from others. Intelligence does not stop learning nor does skill stop practicing.

Thank you Mike! Awesome demonstration as always. You are an excellent instructor/teacher of firearms & tactics 👏

I Lose more and more Faith in People each and every day I am so glad that people like Mike and others with Common sense keep me from losing ALL Hope in Humanity.

Awesome and professional response. I have been taught exactly the same techniques by a current SF guy who is in our SO’s reserve deputy program.

Mike, the last statement was the truest I’ve heard, ever. Since I am a welder, I’m not an expert on the subject matter on weapons and I enjoy your videos immensely. I do listen and practice as time allows to better my ability to draw and shoot from a concealed carry quickly and consistently. I have learned over the years, that if one guy says something about a subject matter, it’s just one guy’s “opinion “ but if over the course of time, if a few more guys say basically the same thing, well, then there’s probably some truth to it. I know that different guys from different backgrounds do things differently to a point, but when when it all boils down to it, it’s the same stuff. I like your videos because you break things Down in bite sized pieces that are easily put together to make whatever you are describing much easier for “us common folk” to digest. Very eloquently done rebuttal video man. Much love from right beside Ft Bragg 🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Mike, I love your content! You are always education me! You are the one of the most professional, knowledgable and well spoken guy I have seen. Love you brother

Awsome free training class from Mike! Great info and things to practice from a real pro. I'll be watching this video lots. Thanks Mike

"Be careful and be cautious of the person who in tactics says they're the end all, be all solution." Wise!

Incredibly well said. Thank you for taking the time to educate those of us not on your level. Your knowledge drives the masses. There’s no telling the # of gunfighters who’s lives you’ve saved with your teaching. Be safe in what you do, brother.

I've learned so much from retired operators and trainers on YT, thanks for all you've done and do.

I value your opinion and content, whether I implement that or not is my choice. Thanks for your teachings and wisdom. I listen to you because of your experience and I hope I don’t ever need it.

In addition to all the experience that Mike has, I believe in everything he says for two reasons: he is ALWAYS Honest. He is ALWAYS Humble. You can't go wrong learning from such a person. He is simply a very good person, with values ​​and tons of experience.

Thanks Mike, it's easy to forget the basics and for many of us who have never seen combat or used these skills in real world situations its nice to have your insight. I enjoy learning from you because of this realistic approach.

Everyone thinks they're an "operator" these days. I can't even watch most gun-channels on KZread anymore because I'm sick of everyone with their operator-beards and chest full of tactical gear really just dressed out to be seen at the range. My take is this; when I learn every single piece of data you can teach me, and, -AND-, I exceed your experience and success in the field, maybe then I'll question some of the things you do. (None of which is going to happen because I'm 57, ha). Until then, I'll just watch these vids you give us (for free, even) and learn what you're offering. And I'll be thankful for the coaching!

Watching this again! Watched it on IG as well! This is perfect info before I go for my CCW here! Thanks Mike!

Excellent explanation for things that should be common sense. Sounds like a lot of people rather listen to and watch Trex arms range theatrics then common sense techniques and reasons.

Mike, don’t listen to the “keyboard experts” ( I know you don’t). Everything you said regarding reholstering is spot on, took some classes last year at the Sig Academy and that’s how they teach it as well. There’s no award for the fastest back to the holster. In fact one of the instructors also not only said to look at the holster but look through it to see ground and not your leg as 90% of accidental discharges occur during reholstering like getting a piece of shirt caught in the trigger guard and when you stuff it in the holster BANG! God bless brother!

Mike, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so very much for sharing! It is been said that no one has won a gun fight by how fast they can holster. Let anyone with you credentials stand up and make their case. For me, I’ll follow you.

Me being a rookie, I don't question Mr. Glover. I will never be as good, or know as much as him. Let alone look at his credentials, and not respect him, and his guys.

Drop the "Aw, shucks" humility. Go full on Ron Burgundy. "Name's Vanilla Rice; I'm kind of a big deal." 🤣 Good pointers, teach. 👍🏼

Mike, your doing a great service for so many of us. I recently watched your grip video because I haven't gotten past that yet. I dig your info.. Ronin has good teachings. I want to hear from people who have served and have had to engage something other than paper and steel. Between you and Tu I have started to understand pressure points and control over my weapon. So a big thanks to you and all of the former SF persons giving out valuable teachings to us civilians.

Everything you covered in this video is 100% facts. All the weapons instructors that have been in either combat or police. They keep there support hand on their chest or even grab their shirt because like in a fist fight if you don’t keep your hands up to maintain level and balance you will get knocked out. Drawing from the holster the way you demonstrated is also correct. That’s how seasoned police with or without military experience do it. There are lines that we as civilians can’t see that draw a distinction between people who are employed,trained and practice these techniques on a daily basis.

"Military experience" is also such a subjective term too, someone who says they have 10-15 years of military experience with being deployed 3 times could sound like a lot and sound like an expert, but asking the right questions could mean they like were a non combat MOS and all the times deployed, never left base. Compared to someone who has only been in only 3 years, deployed only once, but were a combat MOS could have experienced combat situations on a almost daily basis, has more experience.

The humble man that is a big deal says he is not a big deal.

The best in the business! Hard for anyone to tell me otherwise… Ton of respect to you Mike. Thanks for taking the time.

I LOVE your tutorial. As a 31-year veteran law enforcement officer and trainer at the state level I would respectfully say one thing about looking at the holster. I may identify a situation that necessitates filling my hand with my firearm but it may change into a situation where I now need my baton, OC, handcuffs or taser and I don’t want to take my eyes off of my adversary while changing out those tools because it may quickly change again forcing me up or down the use of force continuum. I can’t identify the threat level if I cannot see it. Finding cover to make those exchanges (my anticipated response from you) is not always an option in rural environments. I love everything else you said and love the draw stroke. We practice shooting from the mid chest location after the hands marry up on the weapon for close encounters as well as shooting from the hip right out of the holster if you have someone on top of you. I appreciate you and your service. If you read this, thank you for taking the time. Rock on, brother.

Hey dude 95% of commentors on this site are just like couch quarterbacks. Most of them don't even understand what an adrenaline dump is, or how if your not prepared your brain fucks off and you start panicking.
