Professional Gear Reviews
In the following video are three different training scenarios that Loadout Room writer, Wes Nanny goes through during his firearms training sessions at the local Law Enforcement agency he works for. 1st Drill Just like running and lifting weights, it’s important to warm up before you shoot too.

Up until the last 4 years of my stint in the Army, every school I attended was either planning oriented or some form of infiltration to the battlefield, which always revolved around some form of student attrition. I constantly found myself in courses where the instructors were particularly prideful in their ability to weed out […]
*Editors note: Photos and article have been shared with the permission of AMTAC Shooting. The more I teach good Americans to protect themselves and their families, the more I am learning that mindset is something that we have to weave into every aspect of our training.

Recently I set out to find where the firearms industry was at regarding training in Virtual Reality (VR). I’m not interested in gun collection games or zombie shoot-em-ups, I’m talking about something that can add to (but not replace) live fire and dry fire reps. The last statement up there is an important one. When […]
The Bill Drill. Originally developed by Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat, it’s my go-to concealed carry drill. It tests almost everything you need to be proficient at for concealed carry.

Most shooters understand sight alignment, breathing, […]
SIRT is an acronym for Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger. As the name suggests, the trigger of the SIRT emulates the trigger pull of the Glock after which it is modeled, but after the the pull has been completed, the trigger “resets” as though a round was cycled. The SIRT Pocket Pistol variant of the SIRT […]
Recently I got into a debate among tactical professionals about training techniques. I was arguing that certain handgun skills needed to be trained at distance(greater than 20 meters). Their argument back was basically “What distance does the average gunfight happen at?” and I have some issues with that line of logic. Allow me to explain […]
Firearm safety is a fundamental thing we should talk about whenever firearms are around. It can get boring if we do this by saying the same words over and over in a mantra of protection.
