Magpul The Art of the tactical carbine

Magpul the art of the tactical carbineI  have a few novice Carbine gun owners that have recently been thinking about taking training courses, but really didn’t have the ability to go away for 2-3 days straight.   For many in the shooting community, we have wives or job commitments that make it difficult to get 18-30hrs away.   Even though I consider myself to be an above average operator,  with a few decades of experience under my belt, I have a fairly large collection of firearm instruction DVDs.   I keep the bad instructional DVDs as references, but I only show certain ones to friends and family.   Now that instructors can put out video at cheaper costs due to advances in video production technology, there are more and more videos coming out.   I have some of Gabe Suarez’s videos, Clint Smith, Rob Pincus ect. and they all have their good points.    Some are very basic, while others have good advanced lessons.

A few years ago I went through my entire DVD collection to look for the ones to lend to a friend that was buying  his first AR15.   I realized that Carbine training was a weak point in my collection and I looked around the internet for other options.   Magpul Dynamics Art of the tactical carbine is issued in Volume 1-3DVD and Volume II-4 DVD.   There are some basic lessons being taught in each DVD, and I have to admit that I take issue with the way some of the tactics are taught, but not for any safety reasons.   This is a much faster paced video instruction, but it is well worth the money.   I recommend watching Volume I atleast 2xs and making sure you absorb all of the info before moving on to Volume II.   There are always things that you don’t pick up the first time, and from my experience, I still notice things here and there every time I watch one of these.
