In the Alpha Koncepts Concealed Carry training classes, we teach students the basics of drawing a pistol from concealment. Students then practice hands on with state of the art SIRT laser training pistols with the goal of being able to place two defensively accurate shots on target in 1.5 seconds of less. In our Defensive Pistol training classes, we build upon these basics and teach students to shoot from retention, move while drawing the pistol from the holster and more advanced handgun shooting techniques.

I've often said that a video camera is your best dry-fire tool. As I work with my regular gear, the camera records all that I am doing right, as well as all that I am doing wrong. I can then watch myself and critique myself. And although I often do record myself doing my dry-fire practice, I don't think I've ever shared a video. I'm not perfect, but I also have nothing to hide. I readily admit that I have room for improvement, but I also steadily work to improve. Yeah, I bobbled a few reloads. Yeah, a couple of my presentations weren't as "on point" as I'd have liked them to be. But, that's why we dry-fire! In this session, I was specifically working on a few things. First, I was working on my reloads, and second I was working on my presentation. More specifically working on acquiring the red dot upon my extension and presentation of the firearm towards the target. I recently mounted a red dot sight to my carry pistol and the red dot is a slightly different animal to iron sights. So we dry fire. We dry fire to build that good muscle memory, to build those bonds within our neural pathways, to make our actions seem completely reflexive and unconscious. I'm not there yet, not with my new rig. While I have thousands upon thousands of repetitions with my old carry setup, my new carry setup is still slightly foreign. The magazine release is not quite as proud and therefore the reloads need to be a little more deliberate, for now. The presentation has changed with the red dot so I am working to acquire that dot each and every time I go to extension. I'm getting better at finding the dot, but I need to get faster. Speed will come with practice. If I force the speed, I'll flub up the presentation. As I said, I have thousands of repetitions with my old carry pistol. I'll be right back where I was with my new carry setup soon enough. Only a few thousand repetitions to go. Sign up for a class today! https://www.alphakoncepts.com #dryfire #asmr #guns

An improper grip is by far the number one error we see in our classes. This is true from our beginner classes and up to the advanced level classes too. In this video I talk about the perfect pistol grip. I'll discuss how to hold the modern semi automatic pistol and why. I will explain some common pistol grip errors and how to correct those errors to become a better shooter. I apologize in advance for the poor camera quality. My old camera has been faithful for so many years but is finally starting to fail. If you have any recommendations on a new quality camera, leave a comment! Are you ready to become a better shooter?

The gray man theory is a mindset. Embracing this mindset offers practical strategies for blending in and minimizing risks in various day-to-day situations. This approach, rooted in the principle of inconspicuousness, can empower us to navigate our surroundings with vigilance and caution. This presentation was recorded at a monthly Guns Save Life meeting on June 14th, 2023. If you would like to invite our Chief Instructor, Thomas Kral, to speak at one of your events, visit https://www.alphakoncepts.com/ #selfdefense #gunsavelife #grayman

This short video is packed full of tremendous learning potential. We must study real-life defensive gun use to ensure that our firearm training mimics real-life situations. This clip was sent in by a viewer, I think it may have occurred in Ontario. We see the officer keeping a safety gap between himself and the knife-wielding attacker. We see the officer shooting on the move. The officer ends up going hand to hand after falling and dropping his firearm. Learning to shoot on the move could be a life-saving skill, so too could learning to shoot from the ground.

Illinois has gun-free zones, and yes they do carry the force of law in Illinois. In this video, we will discuss the gun-free zones as well as the penalties for violating the gun-free zones. Even if the signs don't meet the Illinois uniform design, honor the intent of the sign and spend your money elsewhere. You may be arrested and will have to prove your innocence, and it is not worth it to risk thousands of dollars just to give your money to someone who hates you. Also, do not disarm because gun-free zones are criminal protection zones. Most rampage killings occur in gun-free zones where the attackers know they're shooting unarmed fish in a barrel.
