Hi all. We hope this helps you in learning how to use a pistol safely and effectively. What other types of intro/101-level videos would you like to see?

Great analogy with the gun doesn't make you safe anymore than having a guitar makes you a musician.

This should absolutely be a mandatory video for any first time gun buyer. Being able to buy a gun without basic training (and background check) is like being given a drivers license to someone before passing the driver’s test. Kinda scary, but great video.

I’ve never picked up a gun in my life, but when I do, I’ll know just a little better how to stay safe with it. Thanks

I just bought a 9mm today for home defense. It is my first handgun. I am thankful for your video as it gives me a basic knowledge on how to handle it. Thank you!

Like many others, I'm just entering the world of firearms so I'm trying to educate myself on all the basics. I've watched a bunch of videos but yours might be the best because it's extremely straightforward and you don't make newbies feel stupid about seemingly simple steps like how to press down the rounds into the magazine. Thank you!

As a firearms instructor, charged with training individuals in the safe handling of weapons, thanks for your video. Although basic in nature, the information presented is very important for everyone handling weapons to know. THANKS FOR EDUCATING...
