I received this email yesterday afternoon from Cory (boyfriend of glock as a club to deliver a beating girl):
I want my video taken off of here. Implying that Erika was being unsafe and more over just the guys that comment and the type of guys it brings to my channel i don’t want. There is giving a review of something and there is just being disrespectful to the ppl that teach. We are doing our best to get ppl to get out and train and become interested in firearms. The gun had a light primer and had a spent casing in the gun, she was as safe as you can be with her finger clearly off the trigger. She was doing as she was told. Really it just makes her look bad, when she is doing her best.
My public response to Cory:
Who says I do reviews? I make fun of stuff that deserves to be made fun of and shown to everyone. You can tell he was getting progressively angry on the post in question, his alias is the comments is “cory”.
Just because people (Buck Yeager in this case) “teaches” something, you automatically think it’s a good idea? You can’t think independently? You guys do a fair amount of drills that make sense to me, but you also do a bit of stupid shit like this, which I will continue to call out.
Cory, it’s called the internet. What you choose to make public IS public. Man up and either delete the video or quit your bitching. I’m sure people already saved it and will re-post it just in case though so that’s your mess to clean up. UPDATE: He removed the video LOL
Oh and don’t act all surprised that guys are commenting on the fact your girlfriend wears daisy dukes in every video. Your predictable response: “But that’s what she always wears because they are what she finds comfortable”. Fair enough, but again this is the internet. Your girlfriend could have a burka on and people would still troll you if this is the type of response it gets.
Buck Yeager is waiting for you in the Team Room to play some more “spin the bottle”. If you ask nicely he will probably teach you a thing or two about embracing the trolls.
Gentlemen, start your troll-engines. –> http://www.youtube.com/user/cory07ink

Oh I was so in the mood for something good tonight! Thank You!
Oh, and Corey or whatever why didn’t you just tell me you were there and knew it was an empty case yesterday? I would of at least thought it was safer, if not something I really want people off the street in some hillbilly class doing next to me at the range, and I would have had a little respect for you standing up for your video.

You know, I had respect for the guy, good decent vids, nice drills, kinda knowledgeable, but after this little butt hurt epoisde… Not so much, it’s the Internetz man, tighten up.
Also Mike, just making sure, but wasn’t he cool with you before, or not so much? If he was cool, then yeah he needs to get the vacuum ready, lot of sand in that vag :p
No idea Aaron if they were cool with me before. I said some nice things about them but I also made fun of the fact they were shooting when the photographer was down range. https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2012/03/08/tactical-response-still-puts-photographers-down-range/
Either way, I won’t be loosing any sleep.
Step one: Don’t read youtube comments, ever.
Step two: Do not disobey step one.
Simple.
I wasn’t butt hurt. Erika was upset and in tears from some of the comments. Out of respect for her i emailed him. I like his stuff and we always read and watch. I just didn’t want her to get discouraged and not want to work anymore. What kind of man would i be if i didn’t help out my lady?
Out of curiosity which comments made her cry? I didn’t see anything particularly crude or over the top but maybe I missed something.
Im not sure what set her off. I came home and she was all upset. I think she just felt like she was being attacked for doing what she was told. And the fact that she was so proud of how she did down there.
She shouldn’t have been proud. She could have gotten somebody for-real killed in that pretend drill.
Still best wishes in getting better training, and hopefully breaking those bad habits.

@Cory, she’s told to dress like a whore?
Because a girl is sexy and wears daisy dukes does not mean she dresses like a whore. It’s the girl behind the attire and how she acts, not the attire, that makes a girl look like a whore.
Bottom line…she’s sexy as hell and you’re just jealous that you don’t have a hot girlfriend like her that is into shooting. Or maybe you’re a cock smoker, Frank. Yeah, I’m betting on the latter.
Then stop posting videos of your “just average” chick doing unsafe and clown like moves. You wanted attention, now you’re getting it. It’s pretty clear that you cater to a subset of gun owners who dream about fighting the invading zombies in the mall food court.
Well, I’ll admit then. I more or less apologize then if my comment didn’t help any lol.
But I do have to ask, in all honesty when taking the classes with Yeager did at any point you or Erika thought, you know this doesn’t look too cool…
Other then that keep doing what your doing, haters gonna hate lawl.
What kind of Lady dates a Looser that got kicked out of the Army Guard on a Fraudulent Enlistment? Where’s the Honor in that? What kind of Lady dates a guy who Lies about being prior military but Never Completed his training? Yeah that’s a couple I’d want training a bunch of monkeys with a Potatoe gun
Gotta love a guy that uses his girlfriend to get attention to a youtube channel then complains when he doesn’t like the kind of attention he gets.
Like i said, she was doing a drill that she was told to do. In no way did i think by posting a video of her experience at this class would have guys saying things that would bring her to tears. Also we need young female shooters in this sport. And to discourage her or any young shooter is a bad thing. I respect the fact that you disagree with James. We Erika and I are just trying to have fun shooting. We love the sport and most of the time ppl are really great about our training. Its a class, as with any class we take what is useful and what we think is dumb we don’t train with. Me asking you to take it down is out of respect for her and her feelings. Its not a big deal, i watch your stuff all the time. I emailed you out of respect for Erika.
It must be exhausting and frustrating having guys tell you that your girlfriend is good looking, all day on youtube. If you can’t take the odd “she’s range hot” comment and laugh at it, then I really would either quit making videos if I were you, or grow thicker skin. I never once made fun of her, I made fun of Yeager’s school, and the drill she was doing… big difference. I think she’s beautiful and like I said the first time I posted one of your videos, you seem like a good guy and you treat her well too.
Thank you, and i realize that. My worst fear is that she will take some of the things ppl say to heart and not want to keep working hard on getting better. But bro i do respect that you don’t like the way James does things. Its just another class for us and we love showing ppl her improvement. Our improvement i should say
Hey man…just don’t go to Buck Yeager’s mall ninja academy and you probably won’t have the same problems.
Gotta be some more upstanding training centers near you, right ? :P
Cory, Just man-up!!!!!
You put a lame vid of your hot girl on the interweb. It just looks like bad training (unless your fighting zombies in downtown Baghdad). You made the mistake, own it. Real operators don’t blame others when the shit hits the fan. When you do dumb things, expect the fallout.
I liked it. She beat the piss out of that bag.
Then you two should leave the video up. Fuck the haters (me included) and ignore the bad comments .
One of the things I like about Mike’s blog, even if someone bags on him he leaves the comment up.
Yeah man i hear you. But what it comes down to i gotta come home to her lol i gotta make her happy. Shes my training partner, We have our summer lined up with classes everywhere Haley, Vickers, Gomez, and yes oh yes Mike another James class. Fighting Rifle and advanced Fighting rifle in a few weeks. We really do try our best to put out great stuff for everyone. Even tho my channel is big now we are still very new to haters. So it can effect her, and if it effects her well im sure you know the rest.
You seem like a nice sensible guy. Have fun doing the training but take care of your girl by keeping her safe from potentially deadly “training”.
Her beating the shit out of that bag was bad ass but with the gun in her hand
just seems deadly and stupid. If you take a step back and really look at it I think you might agree.
Also im not blaming anyone. We took the class did the drill. Took away what we think is useful and not with the things we didn’t agree with. No fallout here brother, i will continue going to classes and training and enjoying shooting with Erika.
ya’ll should get superbutthurt and the run a drill.
Oh cory….seriously? You want to act like you’re some knight in shining armor yet you USE your girl’s ass to get views. No way you can deny it. You’re titles and tags include “sexy” “hot chick” “cute girl”, etc. I’ve seen you take a camera angle straight down her shirt (not while she’s shooting..this was a straight, shameless boob shot), you film her swatting at bugs and squealing, laying on the ground giggling like an idiot, running around flipping her hair everywhere, etc. etc….what does ANY of that have to do with shooting? It’s not about having fun so don’t even try that excuse. I have fun shooting and it doesn’t involve looking like a skank and acting like a sorority girl. On the .50 cal, during your makeout session with FPS, you literally filmed straight up her shorts dude. My boyfriend would NEVER take a video exposing me like that and post it on the internet and make some half assed (pun intended) excuse about the muzzle blast, so you “had” to film from the confines of her crotch. If you were really chivalrous, you’d bask in the glory of the flash suppressor to keep from exposing her ass ‘n such to everyone. If I were Erika, I’d be in tears over the nasty comments that hundreds of dudes were making over my body instead of a training mistake. But I guess she just expects that when she flounces around half naked on camera.
Here you go, if anyone wants to see Erika spinning around on a merry go round, flipping her hair (can’t wait for it to go in a freakin ejection port), and cory’s fantastic job of filming her boobs.

thanks cory
Hey don’t say anything about her ass hanging out in that video he might get mad.
Just because she is told to do a stupid drill by bad instructors who break all firearms safety rules and have questionable experience at best doesn’t mean she has to do them does it?
I mean if he told you to clear a jam with by holding the gun in your mouth, using the head of your dick to push the mag release while you ride a tricycle would you?
Its a class, we take what is useful from the class. If its something that we don’t agree with we will sit the drill out as we did in one or two drills. This drill was one that didn’t seem unsafe in our eyes. I respect the fact that you dont think it is and that you dont like James as an instructor. Erika and i do our best to make it to good classes. this summer we will be at Vickers carbine Paul Gomaz handgun and two Travis Haley classes. We will post all the stuff from those classes also. We try our best to show everyone what we learn and what the classes are about. As for what she wears thats just how the girl dresses so she trains that way. I like the shorts!
dont listen to the haters most of us arent watching her mistakes
LMAO +1
James as an instructor could be and prob is a very fine instructor. Ive seen the author of this blog compliment him several times, and many times the other way(a crap ton the other way..lol). Maybe from a business prospective, a little bit of vetting before releasing these things could help to establish allot of credibility for your organization. Im sure vetting happens. I just think from a constructive feedback standpoint maybe a bit more internal/external review and vetting would go along way.

Enjoy!
This blog delivers.
Fun fact about the comment about a spent casing in the gun..
Hey, it’s a Glock. Aren’t spent casings supposed to be ejected automatically? If it’s still in the gun, then the gun had a malfunction.
Yes, and if the gun had a malfunction she should be taught how to clear it and not turn the firearm into a blunt object.
This thing, it is the way things should be…
Getting training vetted, even in the troll infested internet, is always (in the end) a great way to go. Sooner or later the truth will come out and we, the blog readers and students of the gun will be better for it.
My take on things:
1.) Very pretty woman training for a lethal encounter and by all accounts, following her instructor’s direction. She did well.
2.) Jabs at the instructor’s reasoning for such moves appears to be legitimate. Straddling a lethal attacker is one thing, staying there for so long with an unloaded weapon and beating them, while still straddled, just reals of trouble. The student should have been moving away as soon as the shots went off, got the weapon back into service and checked her surroundings without turning around 360 style. Still don’t understand the straddle thing. But hey, thats just one guys opinion.
And I would have to agree with Cory in the regards to the mindset of ‘hey, aleast she is out there getting it done’ and no encounter goes exactly like a rigid formal training session…so maybe the move wasn’t that bad after all. I may but that, but that move would not be a good thing for standardization in any schools training regiment.
Agreed: If this where a real encounter this girl would go straight to Jail for life If she used this “defensive” technique. If your going to train, train for what you would do in real life
I just paused “Human Centipede II” to reply to this thread. That’s how important this is.
Good shit, Mike from ENDO.
Cory, the reason people are being so hard on you guys is because you guys made a poor judgement call. I don’t care if there is a spent casing or whatever you claim there is in the gun, this is a foolish and dangerous drill. While I can appreciate the need to train in “dynamic” settings and prepare for even the most outrageous of scenarios, you guys seem to be pretty reasonable people. I believe this because you claim you sat out drills which you felt offered you nothing. What does this offer you in a real life scenario? Why didn’t you (or her, perhaps, if you sat it out yourself) sit THIS drill out? When would this EVER come into play in a legitimate self-defense encounter?
As has been stated before, this is bad publicity for yourself if you ever need to defend yourself in a court of law for using deadly force. Or in any “court.” I am implying the court of public opinion. How can you ever justify this and still have any credibility? While I respect you for replying to your critics, and I can sympathize with your (lack of) restraint, look dude, you posted this on the internet. A lot of people who actually feel this is unsafe called you out on it, and you can’t handle it. That’s cool, bro. You made a mistake by participating in this drill, and now that you realize it, rather than manning up, you want to blame us for your lapse in judgement. We’re just stating our opinion (well, very arguable that this is a fact)
While personal comments about your girlfriend are admittedly…low blows, you should have expected this. In fact, I am certain you knew they were coming as your other videos have likely generated a “boner” response from some people on the internet. Name calling and other shit online is not going to help your case.
And if you want to call me a keyboard jockey, I would kindly tell you the same thing I just said here, to your face. I’m not trying to troll you or anything, just trying to appeal to your sensibilities. I am far from a firearms expert, and I have nowhere near the training that I am sure you and Erica do, but I do have some common sense. I see that you do, as well. Perhaps not as much as I first believed…but that’s not relevant. My common sense tells me that this is just dangerous, period. You fucked up; you should have thought this through. And dude, do you really thing that posting this wasn’t going to generate a decent bit of buzz? I am sure you knew it, which is probably partially the reason you did it – I guess it’s just unfortunate that it didn’t create the buzz you had hoped for.
Or……..maybe we’re the ones getting trolled. *shrug*
perfectly said
Ok, ok. Last padding of my post count here. Aren’t you a member of INGO, Cory? I think I saw a link to your channel or vids on there at one point. It’s a great site and while I haven’t really been on there as much as I once was (I moved from IN to CO) – assuming you are on INGO -what kind of reply have you received there?
INGO is a great site. We didnt post it on there. I posted a pic of her beating the bag on our Facebook fan page and ppl freaked out wanted to see the video. One reason why we put it up.
Great comment man. To tell you the truth we were looking forward to hitting the bag. The drill went as such run the gun dry and then hit the bag. Fun right? Well we thought it might be. Anyway she had two malfunctions on her Glock the second one they said “fight” being the good student she is she beat the piss out of that bag. Looked amazing, well also looked a bit unsafe also. (the gun had an empty casing in it)
Shes been trained well and she knows to create distance. Like i said its a class, we did the drill and didnt others.
hey cory forget about all the dipshit scum that all they want to do is talk about erika. when you have a woman like that and have videos of her up people that you may not want to be watching are going to click the link specifically because of that. i hate that shit too. i have to deal with people every time i go out with my fiance and i just want to throat check em. it is one thing to acknowledge politely about the girl being very pretty but it is another to say the rude and crude type shit some of these scumbags say. keep up the great videos and know at least some of us watch them for the shooting and watching both you and her progression.
Human Centipede II sucked. Human Centipede I for the win.
I just needed to correct you on that one.
I’ll upload it again if you guys want to see what its all about.. Well i have to convince Erika first. Im not a big fan of the sleeping in the living room.
Dude, do as you wish, but why should what WE want have any impact on what YOU choose to do?
I would take it as him being responsive and looking for feedback. Thats a good thing yea?
Sure, I can see what you’re saying, Rydak. But if why would you contine to put your hand on a stove burner that you know is still hot?
Well, I was hoping, that he and his business could, like us, learn something from this and improve and not burn the hand anymore. God knows Id hate to have some of my moves on video for review. But if they were, I would not go away and die somewhere, I would learn what I could from my critics. Improve, progress and move on.
I definitely agree. However, one must first admit they made a booboo. Cory owes us nothing, so I appreciate him having a discussion with us. I don’t ever wish to impose my thoughts upon anyone, but unless responsibility is taken, learning will be impaired, if it even happens.
Sounds like you’re imposing your thoughts. Don’t try and be all relativist, and just say it how it is. It’s stupid for Cory to hide behind the “she was just doing what she was told” bullshit. They should think for themselves and own up when they do something stupid. And this drill is clearly stupid. There is no way any criminal defense attorney can justify this stupid shit. The prosecution would smash this case. Verdict: Erika is guilty – 25 years.
she would do 2yrs max, after time served and with probation. If you don’t believe me chasthuglife post from a few weeks back proves it.
Haha, I hear ya on that one man. Me and my couch have become well acquainted after 17 years of marriage. Maybe an explanation of whats going on during the event would help most folks. Everything is a lesson in the world of teaching, she did well. And hey, she looks hot doing it, always good to see in the shooting world, vrs some fat dude going through a well versed drill. The constructive feedback, and yes even the trolls, is all good. When taken into account for the totality of things, it can go along way to helping all gain something from this video. How many old time police and military videos are there that show things which would boggle a modern shooters mind? Many, and they stayed that way as an institution for decades because few had the balls to challenge them. Now we know different. As long as we can have a constructive discussion about a technique…count me in. Oh and BTW, keep her as the focus student of the vids. She presents herself well in her movements, and no, I dont say that just because she is pretty and wearing daisy dukes, (although that helps!) but because she does animate her movements in a way that can make a video depiction allot easier to understand.
Cory, you are such a toolbag, kill yourself now!
Fist bump to anon for the video. Corey, man up and stop letting Erika give you shit.
+1
Shit!!!!!I cannot stay away from this thread.
Cory, I don’t mean to direct all my incredulousness towards you, as most of it should be directed towards instructors who claim “safe classes” yet seem to have a desire to one-up themselves every chance they get by running progressively more dangerous drills. But, that leads me back to what I was saying previously – you are obviously capable of independent thought – why is it so absent here?
Cory, my friend, you’re spending too much time on the internet and too little at the range (or down the range, if you’re a photographer for Chuck’s classes…) :-)
I thought this was a gun blog not a soap opera. WTF?!? I feel like my grandma; “I gotta go watch my stories”
Apparently Cory’s grasp on the English language is about as tenuous as his grasp on firearm safety… Gotta love how he pussed out and yanked the video, though!
This is the best gun blog on the internet.
You really learn more than you want to know about guns and the people who use them.
Just to clarify…My name is also Cory and I also post on this blog. Hope this doesnt hurt my chances to win cool schitt. Now I gotta find a witty screenname. :(
ROFL
This drill in general is dumb, and I don’t fault the student for doing it. Going hands on with a pistol, hot or not, will result in you fighting over the pistol. That’s why police use retention holsters. It’s either time for a pistol, or time for punches. It’s never time for punches with a pistol. Or punches and dancing with knives. It REALLY irks me when people train to be ninjas rather than train for real life.
Real training, good training, should be basic things that become muscle-memory so that under stress, there is no confusion or thought process. Good training will become your reflexive action, such as feeding an M4 when you feel the “bump” on the last round, or getting down when things start exploding. I’m not sure going to a number of different schools is really that helpful. On my first deployment, one of our designated marksman instructors said something incredibly profound: “There are no advanced techniques, only advanced applications of the basics.” I can see nothing but trouble when you know six different ways to reload, or clear a malfunction, or do something as worthless as tackling the guy you just triple-tapped and beating him with a lightweight plastic pistol.
When you train wrong, you’ll perform wrong under stress.
DING DING DING, We have a winner.
“It’s either time for a pistol, or time for punches. It’s never time for punches with a pistol. Or punches and dancing with knives.”
Sh*t. There goes my plans to get the ‘Apache’ for my EDC. :-)
Basics for the win!
As i said in the other thread, an explanation of what was going on will always help give context to the circling hordes of wtf trolls, myself included. I dont get most of the tactifool response clips i see, and context would fix a lot of that.
But either way youre getting clicks and making ammo money, just when the next adsense check comes in give it to her to spend on shoes. That should fix everything.
First let me say, I love this damn site for this very reason. My GF reads a lot of trashy Gossip blog sites and they are ruthless, so I know the perils of being posted on a blog. Honestly, this site is very balanced in it’s attack and praise of videos, and when Mike goes in on a video it is pure comedy.
I’ve thought about posting videos with my GF on my channel, but I know for certain she would not be able to handle the criticism & trolls that I know come with posting on the internet. She reads some comments on my channel and goes nuts, while I laugh at how funny I think the comments were.
With that being said, I think Cory can take the abuse and dish it out much like Mike can. But a man instinctively wants to protect his lady. I would have probably reacted in the same way, but I honestly would not expect Mike to take the video down.
I hate that it bothered Erika to the point of tears because she seems like a really sweet girl. I thought the drill was unsafe until I watched it again and realized it was a spent casing. After that I had no problem with it. At the end of the day the video is edu-tainment and though the drill was not a probable situation it is a possible situation.
Erika is a beautiful girl and her shorts pale in comparison to the shit the girls here in Texas wear. Either way, the fact that she is a girly girl is the reason my GF likes her among other girls around the world who view their videos. She makes shooting look less butch to other women and thus they get involved. Of course, Cory knows Erika is attractive Ide rip on him to no end if she wasn’t and he kept putting her on videos. lol. Don’t blame the man for having taste.
At the end of the Day, Cory and Erika make great videos, but if my girl reacted the same way I would have taken it down also. In the alternative, Mike has every right to keep the video up on his site as all is fair in blogging and you-tubing. Consequently, I think both parties handled the situation reasonably and hope they both continue to do what they do best.
I think the Yeager posts on this site are by far the funniest. I like Yeager in the likable asshole kind of way (Read: Ari Gold). Having cameramen down range while someone is shooting is fucking insane, otherwise he gives great info and I do plan on taking the course among many others.
I dread the day I post a video and Mike trashes it, but it comes with the territory and I know it will come, just part of the online community.
Damn this was long.
Thanks buddy! Keep up the great work with your vids.
IM HAVING A CLASS, IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS IN TO DOING WHATS SHES TOLD. hahaha
Classy.
Hey remember that time a certain Mrayvon Tartin was killed because he was on top of a person beating their head into the ground and all evidence points to the fact that his killing is was justifiable use of lethal force in self-defense when he was completely unarmed, until he went for his victims gun but wasn’t able to get control of it?
…
…
…
So why would you train like that?
HAHA just saw the video from the .flv someone uploaded…that was retarded.
I love the fact that he mentions that she was being as safe as possible and just doing what she was told.
Yea …..Travis Haley, Chris Costa, Yeager, and Obama can all simultaneously tell me to shoot downrange with a photographer next to my target and I think I’ll take the common sense approach by objecting.
If he doesn’t want attention, he shouldn’t whore his girlfriend out.
True, to be fair part of his channels success is in part that he puts his GF front and center. He knows the attention it is going to attract…he needs to man up.
Anon, you’re right. His GF isn’t some kind of “fun”-bag to show-case on the internet with impunity. As ENDO-Mike said, it’s the internet and most of us as Americans will exercise our 1st amendment rights. :)
On a side note, I always think it’s funny when people like Cory get irritated just because someone says, “I (think) you’re doing it wrong.” People like Cory end up like Drew Peterson without anger management.
LMFAO, this blog never gets old… well played mike!
The INTERWEBZ are free reign, bitchezzzzz! Tic tac patty wack!
Wow, I didn’t expect something like that from those guys. I respect the hell out of what they do. Also, after reading cory’s comments on here… the respect level got restored. Being a spectacle on youtube can be a challenge, its best to roll with the punches.
Wow, I take a couple double shift days at work and this is what I miss??? Man, Mike you shoulda notified me man. This is pure internet gold. My take? I like watching Cory’s wife do stuff to things.
It’s the majority of comments like these that make me lose my faith in humanity.
I honestly think that she would have been fine in that drill. There’s enough hard data out there on Glocks and their torture tests to know that the three internal safeties would have kept that firing pin in check. I’ve carried Glocks my entire adult life and have dropped my G19 more than I’d like to admit and it has never AD’d. Ever. Smacking the butt of any weapon with your finger on the trigger will NOT actuate the firing mechanism. Any of you Chairborne Rangers who have done your homework would know that.
It also saddens me that the lot of you are negating the fact that she is actually out there, putting forth an effort to train. On top of that, the unwelcome comments about her appearance. I’ll concede (respectfully) that Erika is an attractive woman, however the unnecessary comments of how “range hot” she is, and objectifying her is, an outward display of your insecurity. It just makes you look like a tool.
Anyone who takes these classes knows they’re expensive. Scheduling, ammo, travel, food, lodging, and miscellaneous costs all add up. You don’t go to NOT TRAIN. You can do that at home for free. You go an DO the training, as it’s presented, and you can either take away from the training or leave it and never use it again. That’s your choice, but you don’t make an 8-hour drive, spend all that money, and look at your instructor that YOU’RE paying and say, “I’m not doing that” barring unless it’s completely unsafe to you. She made that judgment call. Y’all didn’t. You didn’t even show up to train. She’s one up on you for making that effort. For that, good on you Erika.
In closing, I’d like to point out that I don’t know Cory and Erika, outside of YouTube and Facebook. However, Cory came home to his woman who was in tears, and did what he was supposed to do, and did it with a lot more composure than I probably would have.
Cory and Erika, keep doing what you do. The rest of you, step up or shut up.
I think the issue is with the exercise, not the hardware. Training to jump on the guy you just shot instead of making space and reloading/fixing the malfunction is dumb. Making the effort to do dumb training is not commendable, and I’ve done my share of dumb training at the hands of the chairborne rangers of the 1st Army (the guys in charge of deployment train-ups). I only ran my squad down those dumb lanes because we were required to do so. And I told them to just play the game and when we went back to our barracks we would practice it the right way. I can’t imagine paying for this kind of thing.
Again, I don’t fault the young lady. The “trainers” should have their birthdays taken away for pushing this crap on people who honestly just want to get better at shooting. Bullshit training like this makes you a liability. There is nothing awesome about bad training.
And there’s nothing wrong with doing hand-to-hand training, as long as you make it perfectly clear that one day of training does not make you Jet Li, and if you try to take a gun away from a robber, you’ll be shot. And if you try to dance around with a pretty knife, you’ll be stabbed. And if you dive on the guy you just shot in the head three times, you’re wasting your time.
I see this thing as more of a condemnation of Tacticool Response than of Cory and Erika. If anything, it’s a good “buyer beware” video.
What if the gun flies out of her hands and finds its way to Mr. Yeager’s erect fornication rod in the background – trigger first?
You know Buck (Angel) Yeager has a vagina right?
Get a life, dude. She can start eating ice-cream every day to gain 50 lbs and I’ll quit finding her attractive. Or she can quit starring in youtube videos. Or she can be like any other sane person on the fucking planet and see a passing compliment within an obvious joke. Guess your mommy never let you play with friends that used sarcasm or anything like that.
And I hope you’re not saying I “didn’t show up to train.” I go to most all three gun matches I have time for that are close by and for being 24 years old I get to the range(s) quite a bit. Am I an operator? No. Are you? Probably not. Are we all here preparing for the next American Revolution? Maybe. And no, I don’t whack things with any of my firearms.
It seams odd that 2 people who we’ve never heard of would use a controversial Youtube video to stir up a frenzy on the gun blogs. Oh…wait.
Why are you so up in these guys sh*t? Yeah, theyre screwing up once in a while but theyre out training and havin fun. I think ur protesting too much, Mike. What class have u been to? Can u post a video of u shooting so u can criticize coming from a place of authority?
I can already tell you that Erika could out shoot me with her eyes closed. I don’t need operator authority from having taken ___ classes in order to criticize something I feel doesn’t make sense. You may disagree with my assessment of the drill in question, and that’s alright, but I see a lot of others also agree with me.
I like constructive criticism that comes from a place of wisdom and experience. If you don’t have either, I think u risk straying into the internet commando arena. All bluster, no action to back it up. Im not saying this is you but caution against the tone I’ve seen lately. I like this blog so just asking u to tone it down some.
How ridiculous. He is straying into “commando” area because he states that a drill is unsafe? You have got to be kidding me. That is just someone using their noggin.
You don’t need Buck Yeager experience to know whether something is safe or not. You need gray matter between your ears.
You’re asking me to tone it down? LOL i’ll tell you the same thing I’ve told the other people that have told me that over the years.. “get over yourself”. If you’re coming here to see funny gun related videos analyzed by a tier1 operator ENDO isn’t the place for you. If you want humor and my opinion then I really hope you stick around and just take it for what it’s worth… free entertainment.
Honestly, ur response sounds very immature and makes me think that u cant take even slight criticism yourself. Oh well, it’s ur site man.
wait a sec. You really expect someone to take irrational criticism on their own personal website, where they should (and do) have complete freedom to post whatever they want? His response is – “If you can’t stand the heat, GTFO back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich, with bacon, and tactical Buck Yeager manjam on it…” oh, wait…I don’t think that’s what he is really saying, but you get my point.
If you actually had a valid argument, aside from Mike’s admitted inability to shoot as well as some of the people he pokes fun at, then I could dig what you are saying. You don’t need to be a Navy SEAL to see that this drill in question is dangerous. There is ZERO practical application to this. None. What. So. Ever.
Shit.
A simple airsoft substitution could have prevented this whole mess.
USMC 2002-2006, MOS 0311/8154, Served with 1st FAST and 2nd MarDiv. 9 deployments. Been to all the sandy places and played with all the cool toys.
The drill was UNSAFE, I don’t want to hear about your super safe glock, empty casing bs. Did she point the firearm in directions that were unsafe? Yes, she flagged everyone in 5 miles including herself.
The drill was also DUMB. There is no reason for you to beat someone you just shot in the face in a CCW situation. In the USMC you might have gotten away with that, on the street you will be all over CNN while they talk about crazed CCW holders and their para-military training at the very least. Aren’t you trying to portray gun owners and shooters in a positive light?
All the other comments you have gotten about the futility of the drill, not making space, why would you turn your back to the threat, why does she need to take a GI joe pose to pick up her magazine, and so on are correct.
At the end of the day you are learning tactics from someone who ran away when his team was in contact. I hope you got you money’s worth. Keep the video up, it shows other people what the classes are like, and it shows you have some integrity in wanting to actually educate the public instead of gain youtube fame from your girlfriends T&A.
Full disclosure I am no longer a tactical ninja operator, I do still shoot about 25k rounds a year in practice and matches. I shoot mostly 3gun, with some IPSC and IDPA thrown in. I am fat, I don’t PT, and I don’t care. The reason this makes me so furious is that the Yeager’s of the world will end up getting someone killed with their training. It has nothing to do with Cory and Erika, keep making the videos, and get to a 3gun match soon, you’ll have a blast.
Nice. Now I have a dude who actually has been there and done that backing me (us?) up.
+1
Except I was a regular Army grunt. Now fat, lazy, and occasionally shoot my M&P.
It’s only a matter of time before a Yeager student pulls this crap and goes to prison. Or they shoot poorly and tackle a meth freak who disarms them and shoots them right back.
+1
Anyone who taught that would be laughed off the range where I work. ( SOCOM ) what a joke.
I agree Cory should man up to the fact he uses Erika to get views. Pretty sad.
I didn’t realize that as a website/company owner I had to be a beacon of maturity and an expert in every field I choose to talk about and every action or item I criticize.
Did you not read the small print when you registered the domain? It also required you to pay royalties to Al Gore on every post.
+1 Thanks for the great site Mike
Let the but hurt commence
89 comments, im gonna have to make some popcorn and come back to this.
In an emergency, I would use my weapon as a club..
That being said, I see no point in practicing it with a real weapon.. or practicing at all for that matter.
I think I know how to aim my bunches.
wow. don’t i feel like a jackass.
i spent last week defending the guy and then he (Yeager) pulls this shit? Fast Co. Grunt is so right. the only weapon you might consider going hands on with is your battle rifle and thats because it becomes the weapon…and you’re trained to use it as such.
pistols? never! as clubs? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF TRAINING IS THAT????
Yeagers got to explain this shit cause his cool meter just went from 100 to zero in one video. so much for me talking about taking one of his classes.
oh and one last thing. i mixed it up with some dude that was calling him nuts. i won’t apologize but i will say ok. i see what you’re talking about. I HOPE HE EXPLAINS THIS TRAINING METHOD (i don’t think it can be explained but I’m interested in seeing his thinking).
ENDO: milking the drama llama…again.
i dont usually drink llama milk but when i do its dos Yeagers.
Stay thirsty my friends
I like how people post shit on youtube/facebook and assume their privacy should be respected. Public IS public as you said.
Regardless of the perceived Safety Issue (If you’re going to get criticized, let it be people looking out for your and Erika’s safety, I can think of about a hundred thousand things that would be much worse to get trolled over, and I am sure that as with my shooting friends if there is a safety violation first thing we are going to do is bring it to your attention, often times in not a nice way and then constantly give you shit about it. If we didn’t care, we would let you shoot yourself and learn a lesson with physical pain.) your videos are informative, well put together and entertaining, most of us that do care about firearms safety, training and tactics do appreciate what you guys do and want you to keep it up. I send your videos to my girl because I want to show her that a beautiful woman can have fun shooting with a serious tone and learn the skills needed to defend herself. I agree with you whole-heartily that it is important to expose young shooters and females to the sport, and your approach can do nothing but aid in that endeavor. I honestly think it is extremely cool to watch Erika develop as a shooter and recognize that it takes courage to put a permanent record of your failures and successes for anybody in the world to view and to either commend or criticize. Channels like yours and mrcolionnoir are needed and appreciated.
Cheers
LOL. I like how people are getting mad at you (Mike) for posting this. I take safety very seriously, but I am by far a “safety sally”. This is a completely ridiculous drill to do when you haven’t cleared your firearm before starting to go to town on that dummy. But then I don’t like a lot of the training methods used by Yeager. Use some common sense and think for yourself for once… ‘is this a smart thing to do?’. Your answer should probably be ‘no’. Realizing that, if you choose to participate in drills like this as well as drills that involve someone down range then you just need to accept you are taking a bigger risk. A risk that could normally turn a mistake into a VERY bad day… and when that happens my response is going to be ‘I told ya so!’.
Cory, here it is… plain and simple, they are hating on you NOT b/c the drill is un-safe but b/c they are jealous. Jealous that you have a hotter girl than they ever will (Erika is stunning). Jealous that you actually get out and train on a regular basis while they sit at a computer trolling. Jealous that you are a better shooter than them. While I do visit EDNO on a daily basis, it really bothers me that the trolling here can be so bad. It’s like every mall ninja that has no life, never been laid, and still lives with mommy and daddy wants to come here and hate.
I understand it getting to you guys (esp her) but learn to brush that shit off. Keep it up, I like using ur vids to help give me ideas for training my lady friends.
FYI- I did think the drill was unsafe, just wanted to point out that it’s not actually why they hate.
crazy thought here.
short shorts are a bad idea in a training environment.
so she’s wearing them for attention.
She should wear something that will prevent scrapes, burns, cuts etc.
and another thing.
You should know “the rules.”
Whipping a gun all over is dumb.
they make “blue guns” that could be used for this exact purpose.
and just cause Yeager told you to do it doesn;t mean you are no longer responsible for gun safety.
If Bucky boy told your lady to go stand down range and take pictures of his tactical dive-and-shoot would you 1) let her do it and 2) condone that action?
If you’re going to beat someone with a gun even Buck Yeager has to agree a 1911 is far superior to a Glock.
this has so much win, Mike, you’re the man.
I don’t understand why people just dont fit a bayonet just for this exact reason, i mean theres that handy little rail under the barrel just waiting to be used.
cory should really consider replacing that guy in his videos with another girl.
Cory doesn’t know what he’s talking about….wow, he’s gone to a lot of classes…whoopee doo.
I just happened across this guy’s stuff on YouTube. I can’t find one God damn thing on YouTube or on his Facebook page that says he’s anything but a wanna-be, metrosexual, tacti-cool douchebag with a hot little 19-year old girlfriend who’s all starry-eyed over him and thinks he’s Captain Badass. He’s obviously got a lot of money, to buy all that Magpul/Kydex/5.11 tacti-cool crap and all those guns, but what’s his training and qualification background? I can’t find any info, and YouTube keeps giving me an “Error! Try Again.” message when I try to comment something to this effect on any of his videos. WTF? I suspect this guy is just a snotty rich kid with a hot girlfriend and a lot of guns, passing himself off as some kind of expert. I’m gonna keep suspecting that until someone gives me some info saying otherwise. It doesn’t surprise me a bit to find out he’s running damage control on his PR. So far, all he looks like to me is a skinny little hair-gelled douchebag with an inferiority complex.
Holy shit …. I’ve just viewed a few more of their videos. I’ve never wanted to punch my laptop screen before but this guy is the most worthless fucking joke I’ve ever seen passing himself off as some kind of operator. IDIOT!!! He has that little 19-yr old girl completely under his control — she probably doesn’t have a thought in her empty little head that he didn’t authorize. And she’s such a fucking MORON!! God, it’s like listening to a high school cheerleader talk about tactics!! And I see I’m not the only one that noticed that Cory the Controller makes her wear daisy dukes in damn near every video ….. Jesus Christ I could go on all day. This snotty little rich fuckwit and his hot but brainless little teenage bimbo just piss me off. I mean, it would be one thing if they were talking about survivalism and prepping and how to do things that really might actually save your life like hunting, foraging, building shelters, building fires, storing food, but they’re not. They’re talking about tactics!! Fucking TACTICS!! WTF!?!? They’re not military, they’re not LE, they’re not anything but a rich shithead with way too goddamn many tattoos and the brain-dead little girl he has duped into thinking he knows jack fucking shit about anything!! What THE FUCK do they need tactical training for?? Holy fucking fuck. What irritates me more than anything is how many complete and utter MORONS are following them, watching their YouTube bullshit, asking them questions, friending them on Fakebook, etc. If and when the shit hits the fan, these two fucktards and all their idiot fans will likely be the first ones to get killed. Then there’s the idea that this fucking waste of life is MAKING MONEY off his tacti-cool bullshit!?!?!?! AAAAARRRGGH!!!! Hey Cory!!! Lots of money, tacti-cool gear, hot little range princesses wearing beaver shorts, these things DO NOT AN OPERATOR MAKE!!! Quit life, you worthless hipster shitrag.
Seriously man, don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel!!
Dude that’s not even the tip of the “how I feel” iceberg. It’s just one of those situations that makes me wanna rip my hair out. I can’t believe that turd has a gaggle of idiots following him on YouTard and Fakebook, sucking up to his bullshit. All he is is a worthless dipshit James “The Teet” Yeager disciple, learning a bunch of garbage from The Teet and turning around and teaching it (!!!!!) and all these sheeple think he’s the bees fuckin’ knees ’cause he can (barely) do basic tac drills on paper targets with the arsenal of weapons his probably-inherited pile of money bought him. I’m not usually easily brought to teeth-grinding pissed-offedness, but this is just such a fucking retarded situation that I wanna push some big red button to flush all of it away. Cocky Corey, his brainless little cheerleader, and that mouthy twat instructor of theirs who belongs in the WWF, not on a shooting range. The whole damn show is just fucking sad. I’m done. I don’t even wanna think about it any more. It’s gonna give me a fucking coronary.
wowser. Just stumbled upon this hate filled diatribe.
If this effects you so much you need to get out and get a little more than your computer trolling life.
I’m not trolling. Trolling is just posting shit for the sole purpose of pissing people off and getting a rise outta them. This is just how I feel about cunty little Corey and his little cheerleader. It’s irritating.
I made the mistake of sarcastically (even apparent in text format) commenting that Erika should do the same video they posted in a bikini and she went off on me like I was sexist and she wasn’t gonna be subjected to that and her boyfriend will kick my ass with a bullet from behind his jeep…then, bam, every video since she dresses all enticing like and even has one shooting a .50 cal with a very VERY non-discreet ASS-SHOT-VIEW!!! I find it hard to take them seriously when they themselves take themselves entirely too seriously… If I want training I will leave it up to Haley, Vickers, or Costa.
HERE YA GO!!!!!
https://rangetimets.com/
Read the Bio. Zero Tac training!!!!
I apologize, zero tac experience.
Whatever. I’m over it. Money can buy you anything, I guess. At least the little girlie is on a mission to get more women into shooting …. that’s a mission I could get behind …. wouldn’t mind getting behind her either …. I’m gonna stop getting the notifications for new posts to this thread ’cause I wanna forget all about this shit eating douchebag fucktwat boy band member and his little honey pot.
Buh-bye.
Sounds like there is a lot of jealousy going around this thread from guys that likely cannot get any so they despise those that can. I’m very pro-gun and usually get along well with like minded ppl but you guys are bunch of jerkoffs. So what if she made a mistake, everybody does, and I’m sure all you commandos here always did it the right way. But how many of you trolls have any military experience? and how many of you have and spec ops experience? Seems to me that most of you are just like that Cory guy but are jealous because you don’t get much attention. The guy has a hobby and is pretty good at it, figured out a way to get people to watch him, and hopefully got more guys and girls into the shooting sport. I don’t know much about him, his girlfriend or their videos but what I know is that I hate internet trolls. Instead of posting dumb ass comments maybe you should go on the range and do your talking there. So what if they are doing it wrong, why is it any of your concern? I’m sure they will fix their mistakes. The who wrote this is a keyboard commando who likely needs some more range time and less blog time. Also maybe your time would be better spent writing to your congressman and doing something to protect our second amendment rights. Instead of drooling over a girl who happens to be good looking and is into firearms. If it bothers you ppl that much maybe have you phat ass women hit the gym.
Cory, You are a huge wanabe, Got kicked out of the Army, You joined Youtube and now you think you can be an instructor get real, and you’re YT videos suck ass anyways. If i was you’re girl i would kick you to the curb, It’s very clear you use you’re chick to gain YT views and pimp her off. You make money off YT because of her and that’s the same as being a pimp!!!!! Just because you have some real deal shooters come and teach at you’re so called range don’t make you a instructor. EVERYONE is this industry knows you’re fake ass. Maybe you shouldn’t have sold you’re YT channel to FPS.
Followed these guys on Facebook. Also followed on You Tube for a couple of years. Videos started off with Cory doing the standard gun videos, but nobody really noticed. Eventually he brings Erika into it and his views go through the roof. Guys make comments about how hot she is, blah, blah, blah they take a few classes put out a few more videos and next thing you know they are opening up a range and bringing in instructors for classes. Now, I have no problem with someone being successful and growing a you Tube channel then starting a business and making money. That’s the American dream and I applaud them for doing so, BUT the problem I have with Cory is this naive attitude of his when it comes to Erika.
As the lady above stated, He knows damn well he is using that girl to sell their page and he knows damn well he wouldn’t have half of what he does if not for selling her for subs. Recently she had a baby (congrats to them) and her first video back was a “Welcome back Erika” video and in the video she is wearing these tight daisy duke style shorts with a t-shirt meant for a 12 year old. I commented in the video comment section on facebook how it was great that she was back, but I did not understand how he could be upset with guys making comments about Erika’s post baby breasts in the video. I used the same word “Naive” to describe Cory while still being polite.
I was banned from commenting on their facebook page. I made no comment that was rude or disrespectful I only called it how I saw it. If you are going to “use” her then do not get pissed when you get the responses you do and act like you are the hero for defending her. We also do not buy this, “Well that’s what she likes to wear” garbage either then make it a priority to focus in on her breasts.
BTW- I’m sure she is a sweet girl, but SWAT? really? who filled her head with that nonsense?
Just want to say, I find the video somewhat entertaining because it is like “yuppie commandos”. He’s trying to be “edgy” to impress her, and she just sucks the shit up like a Cory clone and parrots back pretty much everything he says. There is no practicality to MOST of what they teach… the holster shooting and “sweeping” thing he does is ridiculous. I do say, they are pretty good at handling a firearm safely… but the rest of it just is WAY over the top ridiculous.
I dont really get the big deal of this. She beat the shit out of a bag with a glock while her finger was off the trigger. Has it not been proven time and time again that glocks dont fire unless the trigger is pulled, the thing has 3 freaking safeties. Regardless, if you deem this to “unsafe” to train in a controlled setting, are you not gonna do it when your gun jams and a dudes on top of you or another guy is about to draw on you only a yard away? If you are gonna beat that fucker down, how on earth are you gonna do it when your just processing through your cerebellum!? Its just ridiculous.
It’s funny to watch the Michael Bay productions they put up now and how hard they try to emulate Travis Haley or Costa.
I just don’t like folks who try and sell themselves as “Operators” while having absolutely no military or LE background. I guess at least they have “volunteers” who have real credentials.

Oh, and here is a bonus video that probably won’t be up for very long. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCygO4JQCTg
Cory needs to stop trying to be Costa’s Mini Me. I am surprised he hasn’t used a silver magic marker up front on his colored on beard.
* Check out the Ron Avery video where he is teaching him how to draw. Cory is completely lost whenever Ron asks him a question. You can see the divide between a real instructor like Ron and a complete novice like Cory. I cannot believe people pay him to train them. I think people pay to sniff around Erika.
Until today I didn’t know who Chris was so I took a few minutes to google him. Seems like he’s a supporter of firearms and firearms training, and that’s a good thing to my way of thinking. If all he’s done is post a video of his GF working on a prone punching bag while wearing shorts, I do not think there’s a damned thing wrong. Granted, using the Glock as a hammer is ill-advised in ‘real life’, but as long as the weapon was in a safe condition, there’s no harm as long as this was only a class setting and that using any pistol in such a way isn’t routinely done by others. Like Chris said above- take what’s good and pass on the rest. It’s that way in any class. I suspect there’s a lot of sour grapes involved by many who have taken him to task. Unless there’s something about him I’m unaware of (as in bad character, etc.), the haters need to get a freaking life. Besides, a fit woman wearing shorts is a nice break from the usual pot-bellied, bearded old dudes that are so often shown. Pls. explain to me what I’m missing here…
Cory not Chris. Um you might want to read this – https://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2014/08/16/cory07ink-stolen-valor-drama/
