TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 8 - TAP RACK BANG

About this video

McPhee teaches the tap rack bang malfunction clearance procedure, emphasizing efficient hand movements and weapon familiarity. He argues that shooters should view the firearm as a communication tool rather than an adversary, minimizing unnecessary motions to resolve the malfunction quickly and return focus downrange.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee argues that training quality determines execution: the brain learns habits, whether correct or incorrect, so proper repetition is essential
  • McPhee teaches minimizing non-firing hand movement during tap rack bang to maximize speed—the gun should move around the non-firing hand, not the reverse
  • McPhee contends that shooters should interpret a click as definitive weapon communication indicating a likely empty chamber or unseated magazine, then execute tap (magazine), rack (slide), and bang (fire) without hesitation
