“The Journey” Ep 5: Carbine Rifle Malfunctions with Former SWAT Team & Marine Sergeant Jason Redding

10:43 am by Myles 5 Comments

Former SWAT Team and Marine Sergeant Jason Redding

In Episode #5 of “The Journey,” I train with Subject Matter Expert, Jason Redding. Jason is the Owner & Director of Training for Stealth Shooting.

Jason is a former Team Sergeant for a full-time SWAT Team with a large municipal police department and a veteran U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant who served as a Team Leader with the Military Police Special Reaction Teams.

He has over 25 years of honorable service with both the law enforcement and military communities.

Watch Episode #5

In Episode #5 of “The Journey”, I train with Jason for the first time.

We started out with Jason running me through pistol and carbine rifle drills to assess my skills and determine what areas we could work on during our session.

I hardly practice clearing rifle and carbine malfunctions, so we decided to focus our session on dealing with the various malfunctions one might encounter.

Common Carbine AR-15 Malfunctions

In Episode #5, we focus on the following common malfunctions:

  • Immediate Action a.k.a. Tap, Rack, Bang
  • Double Feed
  • Bolt Override

Episode #5 is perfect for anyone who doesn't know how to deal with carbine rifle malfunctions or anyone who doesn't practice them much.

    Malfunctions occur in error of three classes.
    Class One: Failure to Feed
    Class Two: Failure to Extract
    Class Three: Failure to Eject
    The remedy is usually the same.
    Drop the mag. Briskly cycle the action at least three times. Engage a fresh mag and get back in the fight.

    You’re carrying a pistol. Why not transition to what is working, end threat or suppress threat to buy your way to cover, them out rack/in rack to get rifle back in play?

      The focus of the episode is dealing with malfunctions versus transitions.

    Myles, excellent episode covering m-4 carbine malfunctions. In my opinion Jason explained and demonstrated how to recover from the different types of malfunctions and how to get the gun back fight couldn’t of been scripted any better. Great video!

      Glad you liked the episode! Jason definitely knows his stuff and is a great guy. Nothing was scripted–all first takes!

First time shooting a plate rack with a rifle.

Being able to correctly adjust your point of aim is important to know to properly raise your point of impact.

At close distances, it's important to note that you will need to place your red dot above your intended point of impact to nail your target. 
How high you place your red dot above your intended target will depend on your distance to the target.

Instagram post 2194022638419342768_8447710252 Here’s a little clip from Combat Pistol 1, with retired Navy SEALs “Coch” and “Gordo.” There are many opinions about scanning and assessing and how to do so.

Regardless of the actual technique(s) you use, we feel it’s vital to train yourself to break your tunnel vision after shooting to gain situational awareness.

In this short video, Coch demonstrates his preferred method of programming one to scan and assess.

Instagram post 2192515953473266468_8447710252 Dropped by the CATO conference and learned all about it from President, Brent Stratton.
.
The conference is awesome! They feature educational seminars and presentations on emerging trends, tactics, legal issues, leadership and valuable ‘lessons learned’ from after action incident reviews.
.
They also had a vendor trade show highlighting the latest and greatest in gear, weapons, technology, emergency vehicles and more.
.
We love their mission and will definitely be there next year to support them and to conduct a full review!
.
If you’re in law enforcement or the military, you really ought to attend!

Thanks @cato.news for having us!
