Good for you PAgunGuy, Being an Instructor can be very rewarding. I greatly enjoyed my time doing so. I wish you the best as you move forward.

You're right papa, it is the skill set of the shooter. However, weapon selection can greatly enhance those skills and provide an advantage. Good to see you out there taking shots at the gong it's great practice and is definitely relevant training for todays environment.

Yes that was outstanding and I'll bet he logged many training hours good for him but that is not the norm by any stretch I can tell you that.

This is just another form of making concessions to attract a certain buyer for calibers that are far more superior and have proven track records. Why would you want to make concessions with your life? I'll tell you what. The first time someone tries to take your life and you break out your micro...

Another sad situation, I simply cannot understand why Officers continue to disregard basic safety procedures during training. I consider myself really fortunate that in the 24 years I served as a range master I never had to experience this. All the years in Special Operations and never had an...

Wishing your wife the best and I pray for positive outcomes

You can do better my friend do your research really examine what will provide the greatest margin of safety and performance for you in a possible lethal encounter. You need to stack the deck in your favor as much as possible. There is only sadness and despair in losing a deadly encounter.

Pitdogg2, Be careful my friend with regard to the 10MM. This is a very popular round and I’ll bet if you ever go to Alaska you would find almost every guide carrying a Glock 20. I currently carry the Sig P320 X10 for EDC for specific reasons. The 10MM round checks lots of boxes for defense and...

Propper, 5.11, Tru-Spec and in cases where explosives were going to be used( flash bangs-explosive entry) Nomex flight suits.

Nightrider and Superzuki, you guys are on the right track. During my Special Operations career we used a tactic known as "CONDITIONING". This is when you create a situation which causes your opponent to concentrate and often times direct resources to what is going on in one spot that we are...

I say fantastic. The 1911 is a great platform and there are good offerings out there as the 10MM has made a huge come back. I don’t have a 1911 in 10MM ,but I did purchase one recently. The Sig P320 X10 was what I have and is my EDC for a number of reasons. Very good shooter and provides...

Very sorry to hear about this nmedge. My thoughts are with you and your family. She is in good hands now. God bless.

Wannabewoodsman, Motorcycles are great fun and I’m glad to see you are going to take a class that is very wise because you need to know how to control the bike. I have been riding since 17 years old and was also a Police motor in Southern California for 8 years. Good training will make your...

YATTWOOD, good for you ,keep training and learning find what works for you and if the 1911 fills the void train hard have fun and become harmonious with your weapon

Yes Sir, the browning is an awesome handgun. I first learned about this weapon when training with Phil Singleton of the British SAS which was there go to sidearm at that time. Phenomenal grip and balance and what a shooter. I believe the SAS now uses the Sig 226. Unfortunately I was not able to...

Th@tGuy, Check out my remarks on the post “is the 1911 still popular” and read the comments and see what you think. I think it’s awesome that the 1911 is working well for you. Don’t let anyone tell you that the 1911 is not a viable option anymore. My remarks will provide you with more...

During my 42 year combined career Military/LEO I could never understand how this could happen when it is engrained in the mind to clear the weapon and remove all ammo from the work station. Why he choose to see if the weapon was clear by pulling the trigger is unknown. I found in my LEO time...

HayesGreener, I can’t agree more with your comments. I have the deepest respect for all you Viet Nam veterans who returned home to an ungrateful country and were treated poorly. Mikes contributions are amazing and definitely puts a human element to the story. I joined the Marines after the...

Praise for the 1911, I used this weapon during my entire special operations career(22 years) and I can tell you it was an exceptional handgun. Many folks now disregard this gun for more high capacity type weapons which resulted in gun manufacturers making this platform in 9MM and now the 30...
