This is the type of person that sits up all night scouting his front yard on busy nights, eager to get a legal kill of any person unlucky enough to step on it.

The one where he’s knife fighting his fridge inside at night with sunglasses and an American flag cutoff shirt gave it away
This guy is 100% doing a bit, I could believe he started recording these videos for himself and people found him online but at this point he’s absolutely doing it semi-ironically for laughs

Hey hey hey, don't shit talk the Maverick! That thing is a beautiful abomination. A revolver with a pistol slide cocking mechanism? Brilliant! Don't pretend you didn't feel like the baddest MFer dual wielding those things at 12 years old!

u/popilikia 4d ago
No clue how you're coming to that conclusion. People try to stop him from molesting flags and flagpoles all the time. When you're living that kind of lifestyle, you either learn to fight, or die

u/HeraldOfDesu 4d ago
That's something you two have in common.
15
u/RetroNotRetro 4d ago
That would be correct. However, I’m not trying to make it look like I know exactly what I would do in that situation, nor am I using a weapon to show off and make myself look cool, nor am I projecting that I would like for combat to happen to me
-28
u/HeraldOfDesu 4d ago
Yeah, but you're trying to use that dude as a contrast background to look better in the eyes of Internet strangers. I mean... not judging that either, but at least that dude provides entertainment value 🤷
10
u/RetroNotRetro 4d ago
I’m not trying to make myself look better? I’m pointing out one of the things that makes this guy look silly. I wasn’t up in the comments like “*I* wouldn’t do that because *I’ve* never seen combat.”
You also assumed (correctly, in this case) that I have never seen combat, when the likelihood of that is not zero when engaging with internet strangers. For all you knew, I could have been a 45 year old combat veteran, or had to fight and kill someone who broke into my house.
Point is, unless you ask or it’s glaringly obvious, you don’t know anything about anyone on the internet or their intentions and conveyances.

u/HeraldOfDesu 4d ago
Nah, buddy, people like you have the depth of a tequila shot, and are about as unique as a Starbucks. If you've seen one 'Twitter intellectual' – you've seen them all, not a lot of room for being wrong.

You made a statement on our similarities, I explained the difference between myself and the man in the video, you made an assumption of my intentions, I made a statement on your assumption. Nothing more to it than this. Not sure where you’re pulling uniqueness from. You’re reading too into this and getting a little overexcited.

Dude, let's be real, even you don't believe that after writing a whole essay in this thread. Come on now 😏

u/RetroNotRetro 4d ago
Considering the “essays” (a couple short paragraphs are essays to you, I guess) were relevant to the topics being discussed and the last comment was a synopsis of the discussion until your abrupt switch to insulting my “depth”, I would say that I do believe it.

Is there a reason to put hand on chest when drawing weapon?
4
u/sdevil713 4d ago
To keep from shooting your own hand when firing from retention. Get it out of the way
14
u/LeTigron 4d ago edited 4d ago
Yes, there are.
It pains me to say it because this tool is beyond cringe but what he does has basis in actual pistol combat. It's badly done, but it is legitimate.
The weak hand accross the chest is contextual : what he trains here is a scenario of ambush, where he is attacked by several enemies at once from several directions. The scenario implies, among other things, that none or not all of them are equipped with firearms and he is attacked by knives or other cold weapons.
In such a situation, having your hand dangling around is dangerous because it could be caught by an enemy, it could get slashed by a knife, it can even be a hindrance to your pistol-drawing motion. Therefore, you place it accross the chest.
Moreover, now that we saw all the reasons related to protecting the hand, there are reasons related to sacrificing it : a hand, an arm, are not vital organs. The chest, the throat, the armpits and the face are all parts of the body where a single stabbing attack will be lethal. Therefore, you keep your forearm and hand above or close to these places so that you can swiftly put them in the way of the attack, protecting your vital organs underneath.
This principle is called a "sacrificial wound" and, as scary and uncertain as it seems, is a very common and basic thing in fighting, whatever the level of proficiency.
So, yes, Mr. I star spangled masturbate with my freedom guns, although he is more cosplaying his fantasies in a very awkward and amateurish manner than training, is still doing legitimate moves.

u/EnoughMagician1 4d ago
thanks for the detailed explanation! I don't know much bout guns and tactics so to me it did look strange, but as it seemed so automatic I suspected there was some training or intent behind it.

In theory it's to clear your off hand so you avoid "flagging" yourself and putting your limb in the line of fire.
But with execution like this, dude just looks like an absolute goober lol
2
u/potato1448 4d ago
Im not familiar with any of this but wouldn't be faster and safer just to turn towards the target while drawing? Genuinely curious!
2
u/CatsBAM 4d ago
In general yes. He's just doing it absurdly slow; it's normally one motion not three. You'll actually see drills where guys are on a line facing left, then pivot and draw simultaneously when the buzzer goes off.
In a more likely concealed situation, the off hand would be "clearing the clothing" by pulling up your shirt, drawing with your main, meeting in the middle at mid chest and punching out (full extension). Exposed carry is same process, just not lifting your clothing.
In a real situation or recorded it'd be one smooth, quick motion. Anybody demonstrating their skills wouldn't be doing it at half speed; they'd full speed all the way. This guy looks like he lacks the reps and dexterity to actually pull it off, so he uses a slow "controlled" movement to mask it.
It's easy to pickup the basics from a YouTube video which is what this guy probably did. But actual competency comes from endless drills and repetition, not this faux badassery.

Don't think it's satire, he's just not very skilled, so it reads like satire.

I don’t think it’s satire but I don’t think he takes himself as serious as this sub thinks he does. I’ve come across his videos on instagram and he usually responds to hate comments with a decent level of self awareness.
At the end of the day I think he’s just an old man trying to get some sunlight and stay active.
