Factory-made with a 400 series stainless steel heat-treated bolt, slide, frame and barrel, the SW22 Victory is as durable as it is accurate. The standard model is fitted with a 5.5-inch match-grade barrel with a 1 in 15-inch, six groove, right hand twist. The SW22 Victory comes standard with a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable green fiber optic rear sight. The pistol is also standard with an alloy trigger with adjustable trigger stop. Fire controls on the pistol include a single-sided thumb safety, slide stop and magazine release.

ANTICIPATING RECOIL

1
00:00:00,458 --> 00:00:00,792
Hey, guys.

2
00:00:00,792 --> 00:00:01,668
Ken, from Provectus Group.

3
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:04,254
Want to come and talk to you
about something that we see

4
00:00:04,254 --> 00:00:09,300
that's extremely common with new shooters
and that's called anticipation

5
00:00:09,592 --> 00:00:12,220
or you might have also heard
it called flinching.

6
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:16,891
What's happening is and we're dealing
with an unloaded gun here.

7
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:18,351
What's happening

8
00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:22,564
is, is when we bring the gun up
and we're aligning the gun on target at

9
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:26,985
right before we press the trigger,
the muzzle will dip down slightly.

10
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:31,990
Now, this is how your target will look
when you are anticipating.

11
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:34,325
You notice this is where we were aiming
the bull's eye,

12
00:00:34,659 --> 00:00:36,911
but the shots are consistently low.

13
00:00:36,911 --> 00:00:38,663
Now, this is still a great group.

14
00:00:38,663 --> 00:00:40,123
They're just shifted down.

15
00:00:40,123 --> 00:00:41,958
This is anticipation.

16
00:00:41,958 --> 00:00:44,753
Now, to be very quick about it,

17
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,006
anticipation is basically
the brain is understanding

18
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,800
that there's a controlled explosion
happening inside of this gun.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,344
And that is foreign to most of us.

20
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:56,056
Most of us aren't born with explosives
happening in our hands.

21
00:00:56,056 --> 00:01:01,895
So what's happening is, is that we're
lined up on target and we're pressed out.

22
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:04,064
Okay, We presented the firearm.

23
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:07,150
The brain is trying to get
that controlled explosion

24
00:01:07,484 --> 00:01:10,111
as far away from the body as possible.

25
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:14,949
But because the gun is presented out here,
we can't really go out any further.

26
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:16,785
So we go down.

27
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:20,205
So hopefully this helps you understand.

28
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,291
Number one, this is going to be
very common as a new shooter.

29
00:01:23,291 --> 00:01:24,959
This is what you're going to see.

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,296
Number two, hopefully you understand
what's actually happening.

31
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:31,049
And number three,
how do you get rid of it?

32
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:35,261
Now, a lot of this will start to go away
on its own as you shoot

33
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:38,348
more and more and more
and become more comfortable

34
00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:40,850
with which shooting
and your particular gun.

35
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:44,020
Now, once you get to like an intermediate
level, you're very,

36
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,396
very good with your fundamentals.

37
00:01:45,396 --> 00:01:48,066
The bullets
go exactly where you want them to go.

38
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:52,403
When you see anticipation creep in there,
every so often there are specific drills

39
00:01:52,403 --> 00:01:56,324
that you can do to work on anticipation
specifically.

40
00:01:56,741 --> 00:02:00,120
But if you're a new shooter,
I would rather you just focus

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,499
on the fundamentals themselves,
get more acclimated to shooting,

42
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:07,961
and you'll start to see a shift
in your group starting to come

43
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:09,796
more towards the bullseye.

44
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:12,006
All right.
So hopefully this video helps you.

LOADING A PISTOL MAGAZINE

1
00:00:00,583 --> 00:00:02,377
Hey guys. Ken with Provectus Group.

2
00:00:02,377 --> 00:00:07,298
Today we're going to talk about the basics
of loading a pistol magazine

3
00:00:07,298 --> 00:00:08,341
and a pistol.

4
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:12,303
Always remember, keep your trigger
finger on the side of the pistol

5
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:15,640
until the sights are on target
and you're ready to fire.

6
00:00:15,765 --> 00:00:20,061
At all times ensure that the gun is always
pointed in a safe direction.

7
00:00:20,061 --> 00:00:22,147
We have to be safe.

8
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:25,275
So in my hand, I have a pistol magazine.

9
00:00:25,442 --> 00:00:28,486
Before we get started, it's important
to understand the orientation

10
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:33,324
of the magazine so as we rotate it around
this way, you notice this flat here

11
00:00:34,075 --> 00:00:37,120
and you notice
I have a round in there already.

12
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:39,748
The back of the round is flat.

13
00:00:39,748 --> 00:00:42,667
The front of the round is a little bit
more tapered.

14
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:47,714
The next thing we need to look at
is the actual top of the magazine.

15
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:50,842
If you notice
the top of this magazine is tapered

16
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:55,096
and it's tapered
a little bit more here than it is here.

17
00:00:55,597 --> 00:00:58,641
So in order to get rounds
inside of this magazine, I'm

18
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:01,811
try to turn it this way
to make it a little easier for you to see.

19
00:01:02,687 --> 00:01:05,940
It's important that right here
we press down

20
00:01:06,608 --> 00:01:08,985
and press down enough to where we can go

21
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,072
under these two lips to retain the rounds.

22
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,407
So let me try to do this again.

23
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:16,367
We're going to press this down.

24
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:19,245
And if you've noticed now,
I've pressed down enough

25
00:01:19,579 --> 00:01:22,373
to actually go under those two lips
I was talking about.

26
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:24,959
We're now going to slide it underneath.

27
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:26,961
Let me do that one more time.

28
00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:28,588
We're going to press down,

29
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:33,009
press down
just enough to get under those two lips

30
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:36,888
and we're going to slide the round
underneath just like that.

31
00:01:37,263 --> 00:01:38,473
Let me do this two more times.

32
00:01:38,473 --> 00:01:43,728
I've got two rounds or two rounds left
and now we're going to load the gun.

33
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:47,899
So now we've got the rounds in
the magazine and the proper orientation.

34
00:01:47,899 --> 00:01:50,068
Now I'm going to take out my firearm.

35
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:55,240
I'm going to insert this magazine
inside of the magazine well, here.

36
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:58,952
So it's going to look just like this.

37
00:01:58,952 --> 00:01:59,911
You heard that click.

38
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:04,499
But I also like to push down on the
magazine to ensure that it is seated

39
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:05,500
properly.

40
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,129
Next thing I'm going to do
is I'm going to take my support hand.

41
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:12,507
I'm going to put it up here
on the slide, on the serrations.

42
00:02:12,882 --> 00:02:16,094
I'm going to pull back on the slide
until it stops.

43
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:19,889
And it's extremely important
that I just let go of the slide.

44
00:02:20,682 --> 00:02:26,396
What I don't want to do is allow my hand
to stay on the slide as it goes forward.

45
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:30,191
Sometimes that can cause the slide
to not go all the way forward,

46
00:02:30,441 --> 00:02:33,319
and it will not allow the gun to fire.

47
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:37,407
So after I've put after
I've let go of the slide,

48
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:41,244
now there is a round in the chamber
and the gun is loaded.

49
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:45,540
Always remember keep your trigger
finger on the side of the pistol

50
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:48,877
until the sights are on target
and you're ready to fire.

51
00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:55,425
So that's the basics of how to load
a pistol and how to load the magazine.

52
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:57,510
I really hope that that helped you.

53
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:01,764
Remember, when you're doing this, it's
important, especially for the first time.

54
00:03:02,056 --> 00:03:03,850
It's important that you go slow.

55
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:07,645
The slower you go, the faster
you'll learn it at all times.

56
00:03:07,645 --> 00:03:10,815
Ensure that the gun is always pointed
in a safe direction.

57
00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:12,775
We have to be safe.

58
00:03:12,775 --> 00:03:14,235

DRAWING FROM A HOLSTER

1
00:00:00,041 --> 00:00:02,335
Hey, guys, Ken with Provectus Group today?

2
00:00:02,377 --> 00:00:06,339
We're going to talk to you
about the basics of a draw stroke

3
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,174
and how it should look.

4
00:00:08,174 --> 00:00:10,969
We try to keep everything that we do
very, very simple.

5
00:00:11,052 --> 00:00:13,513
All right. We have to start out
with a really good stance.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,391
The stance is the foundation
of everything that we do.

7
00:00:16,891 --> 00:00:19,602
I like to have my feet a little bit wider
than shoulder width apart.

8
00:00:19,602 --> 00:00:20,478
I'm right handed.

9
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:25,025
So you see, I've dropped my right foot
back about six inches or so.

10
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:28,570
Now, this could be different
because we're all different.

11
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:28,820
All right.

12
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:31,489
But this is a great starting point.

13
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:35,076
Now, if you're left handed,
you would drop that left foot back

14
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:39,456
just a little bit, but I'm right handed,
so I'm going to bring it back here again.

15
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,207
This is just where we start.

16
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:44,210
You might have to adjust this once
we start shooting.

17
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:50,383
The second thing is I'm wanting
to establish a really nice,

18
00:00:50,675 --> 00:00:54,262
good firm grip,
even while the pistol is in the holster.

19
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:58,016
From there, I'm going to extract
the pistol from the holster

20
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:02,437
and from here
the priority is getting the sights

21
00:01:02,437 --> 00:01:05,899
on this pistol
to intersect with my line of sight.

22
00:01:06,232 --> 00:01:10,570
Now, commonly was taught is that,
of course, the fastest way from point

23
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:12,030
A to point B is a straight line.

24
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:17,202
So if my holsters here and I'm trying
to get here, most people would think

25
00:01:17,494 --> 00:01:21,122
that I would need to take a line
that would go from here to here.

26
00:01:21,122 --> 00:01:23,124
And I get that completely.

27
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:24,751
But when we're talking about

28
00:01:26,419 --> 00:01:28,421
what is the soonest way

29
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:32,467
that I can shoot an accurate shot,
the priority is to come from here.

30
00:01:32,842 --> 00:01:35,470
And I want to get those sights on this gun

31
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:39,933
to intersect with my line of sight
as quickly as I possibly can.

32
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:44,479
From right here,
I can press an accurate shot.

33
00:01:45,021 --> 00:01:48,858
So I like to come
and take a more dressed angle

34
00:01:49,692 --> 00:01:52,153
so I can get the sights to my line
of sight.

35
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:55,573
Basically, from here
I can press an accurate shot,

36
00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:59,911
but it's also giving me more time
on my sights as a human being.

37
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:02,205
We love to confirm that it's perfect.

38
00:02:02,622 --> 00:02:05,708
So this gives me a little bit more time
on my sights.

39
00:02:05,708 --> 00:02:10,213
And by the time I'm fully pressed out,
I have an accurate shot.

40
00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:11,506
My sights are aligned.

41
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:15,093
If I'm using iron sights
or my red dot is over the target.

42
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,178
So let me break that down one more time.

43
00:02:17,178 --> 00:02:19,973
Good stance. I want a nice solid grip.

44
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:23,726
Even while the pistols in the holster
you notice my support hand is under my

45
00:02:23,726 --> 00:02:27,730
dominant eye because the gun
is going to come to my support hand.

46
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:29,566
I'm going to extract the pistol.

47
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:32,569
The priority is getting the sights
to my line of sight.

48
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:34,863
From here I can press an accurate shot

49
00:02:36,281 --> 00:02:40,076
and press so now we're going to do it
live.

50
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:44,622
We're going to load and make ready
and sort of mag, I'm going to press check.

51
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:48,877
I like to bump the back of the slide
to ensure the slide is in battery.

52
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:50,795
Let's go ahead and holster up.

53
00:02:50,795 --> 00:02:52,505
If you notice, when I holster up a holster

54
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:55,508
up nice and soft,
there's no bad guys in our holsters.

55
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:56,593
All right.

56
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:58,553
Again, this is how it's going to look.

57
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:01,598
Establish a really nice, solid grip
while it's in the holster.

58
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:03,308
I extract the pistol for.

59
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:04,976
The pistol is now in my support hand.

60
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:08,188
Remember,
the priority is to get the sights on

61
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,232
the gun
to intersect with my line of sight sooner.

62
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:13,484
So I'm bringing the pistol up.

63
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:16,029
The sights are now aligned.

64
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:20,742
Press a nice shot, come back and holster.

65
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:23,286
Let's do it again.

66
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:26,414
Come up establish a nice firm grip.

67
00:03:26,414 --> 00:03:28,208
I extract the pistol.

68
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:31,920
I'm bringing the sights up on the gun
to intersect with my line of sight.

69
00:03:32,503 --> 00:03:36,257
Everything's good, press the shot.

70
00:03:36,257 --> 00:03:37,884
Come back. Do it again.

71
00:03:39,135 --> 00:03:40,345
Again.

72
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:43,723
Extract the pistol from the holster,

73
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:47,393
align both sides and press

74
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:48,436
and holster.

75
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:51,522
All right,
so that's the basics of a draw stroke.

76
00:03:51,522 --> 00:03:53,107
I hope you enjoyed it.

77
00:03:53,107 --> 00:03:58,363
If that is something that's new to you,
remember, it's important to go slow.

78
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:01,449
The slower you go, the faster
you're going to learn it.

SHOOTING GRIP & STANCE

1
00:00:00,375 --> 00:00:01,876
How you stand and grip your

2
00:00:01,876 --> 00:00:05,463
pistol is one of the first things
you should work on as a new gun owner,

3
00:00:05,714 --> 00:00:10,218
and it provides a foundation for being
able to control how much a handgun kicks.

4
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:12,762
We call this recoil control.

5
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:17,392
I'm Julie Golob of Team Smith Wesson here
with my advice to help you with your grip

6
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:20,020
and your stance. Let's start with stance.

7
00:00:20,562 --> 00:00:23,023
I begin with my feet
at least shoulder width apart

8
00:00:23,273 --> 00:00:27,068
with my strong side foot in my case,
my right foot, a step back.

9
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:30,113
This provides
a solid base for me to build on.

10
00:00:30,488 --> 00:00:34,868
Next, I start adding little bends
to my body, starting at the ankles,

11
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:38,830
moving up to my knees,
and then bending forward at the hips.

12
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:42,876
When I extend my arms,
I activate the muscles in my back

13
00:00:42,876 --> 00:00:46,546
and shoulders,
making sure I don't lock my elbows.

14
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:51,468
All of these little bends in my body
end up serving as little shock absorbers

15
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:57,432
and combined to help me keep my weight
forward on the balls of my feet.

16
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:04,898
If there's one
thing you take away from this video, it's

17
00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:09,277
to make sure you don't straighten
and lock your joints.

18
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:12,489
It's very common with new shooters,
especially women,

19
00:01:12,739 --> 00:01:14,657
to lock their elbows and knees.

20
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:18,745
And when you do this, you end up
leaning backward and the recoil controls

21
00:01:18,745 --> 00:01:21,164
you, not the other way around.

22
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:23,541
Now, let's talk about grip.

23
00:01:23,541 --> 00:01:26,711
I use a high thumb's forward grip
when I shoot.

24
00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:30,965
It starts by getting a good grip
with my strong hand high along

25
00:01:30,965 --> 00:01:34,344
the upper portion of the grip
where the back strap of the pistol

26
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:37,388
making a V with my strong hand.

27
00:01:37,806 --> 00:01:41,226
This v is where I'll make contact
with the pistols backstrap.

28
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:45,563
Again, my grip is nice and high
because the lower

29
00:01:45,563 --> 00:01:49,567
I grab onto the pistol,
the more this handgun is going to kick.

30
00:01:49,692 --> 00:01:51,111
We don't want that.

31
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:54,906
This pistol also has manual thumb safeties
and I like to ride them

32
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:57,784
by keeping my strong hand thumb
right along the top.

33
00:01:58,284 --> 00:02:01,663
This keeps me from bumping them
on accidentally and also helps me

34
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:03,331
keep my high grip, too. Win, win. When

35
00:02:04,332 --> 00:02:07,544
I grasp the firearm,
I make it a point to keep my trigger

36
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:10,672
finger straight
and outside the trigger guard.

37
00:02:11,256 --> 00:02:13,967
I wrap the rest of my fingers
around the front of the grip

38
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:18,096
and I use them to pull the grip
into the palm of my strong hand.

39
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,349
Now it's time to bring that support
hand into play,

40
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:24,936
and this is sometimes the hardest thing
to get used to for new shooters.

41
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:28,148
I start with extending my support hand
in front of me

42
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:30,900
and add another shock
absorber. Bend at the wrist.

43
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:32,277
Keeping your arms straight

44
00:02:32,277 --> 00:02:36,281
with your hands so that your fingers
point downward at a 45 degree angle.

45
00:02:36,364 --> 00:02:37,991
Now it's time to meet up my hands.

46
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:41,035
And when I place my support
hand on the grip, I do so

47
00:02:41,035 --> 00:02:44,122
in a way to eliminate any space
between my hands.

48
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:48,418
The base of my left hand thumb
where it meets up with my wrist is going

49
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:53,464
to fit right into the space underneath
where my right thumb meets my right hand.

50
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,801
My left hand's index
finger makes contact on the pistol’s

51
00:02:56,801 --> 00:02:58,595
frame right underneath the trigger guard.

52
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:01,431
As I wrap
those fingers around my strong hand grip,

53
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:05,476
where I pull the grip into my palm
with my strong hand.

54
00:03:05,476 --> 00:03:07,604
I grip differently with my support hand.

55
00:03:07,604 --> 00:03:11,691
I think of my left hand as a vise,
and I use it to clamp my support,

56
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:14,152
hand fingers together and onto the grip.

57
00:03:14,736 --> 00:03:18,239
This grip, combined with my stance,
allows me to shoot everything from

58
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:22,493
soft shooting
22 rim fire up to large caliber revolvers

59
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:26,956
and the more powerful the firearm,
the more aggressive I stand and the harder

60
00:03:26,956 --> 00:03:30,460
I grip in order to manage the recoil
as best as I can.

61
00:03:31,419 --> 00:03:33,463
Try it out and see if it works for you.
