Combat Pistol Training!

Many times we find ourselves “training” on the range or at home. I ask my students often to describe or show me their combat training regimen. More often than not, I have to break them some bad news….It’s not “combat” training. When training for combat, self-defense, or home defense, you need to practice realistically. 9 […]

Training with the SIRT!

There is a great product that can still give you the pleasure of a good day on the range and further sharpen your skills. The SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger […]

Dry Fire and Snap Caps!

I recently held a class for a group of a LE SWAT team this past week and the question about snap caps came up. “Do you really need them, will dry fire hurt my weapon, etc.? The answer to the question is YES and NO. The reasoning for using snap caps is to not damage […]

When One 1911 Isn’t Enough!

I hear a lot from 1911 fans that it is the best pistol to own, it’s a one shot caliber for a pistol, etc., but I’ve never heard any pistol shooter/owner wishing they could get their hands on a double-barrelled pistol. Well now you will have that opportunity. I first came across this pistol at […]

Automatic Magazine Loader!

As many of us know, loading magazines by hand can be quit boring, especially when you’re loading them one round at a time. I recently came across this product and thought I’d share it. The AML5.56 (Automatic Magazine Loader 5.56). The patent is currently pending and I haven’t seen any price range on it, though […]

Improving your Pistol Skills!

After a three-day combat pistol course, a few of the students had questions regarding the exact “grip pressure” needed when griping their pistol. In the military, we were taught the 60/40% rule of thumb. 60% of applied to the pistol with the main/strong hand, and 40% with the support hand. I wanted to pass on […]
