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!

Although there is no substitute for live fire training, the cost of ammo, range time, weapons maintenance, etc., may not always fit our situation . 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 […]

Training for Muscle Memory at its Finest!

This has to be one of the best examples of muscle memory that I have ever seen and plan to post a video of myself doing the drill in the featured video as well. I’m sure we’ve all seen the videos of instructors shooting an AR-15 extremely fast at three stationary targets in the 1,2,3,4,5 […]

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 […]

The REAPER 33 AR-15….Finally Here!

After a short wait, the Reaper 33 AR-15 is finally on the market. With all of the testing that has been put into the rifle from SEAL’s, 1st SFOD, Rangers, Green Berets, JTAC’s, etc., I can honestly say that the AR holds up to its name. Stay tuned for the Reaper 33’s first HALO jump […]

I’ve seen it happen more often that not on the range when individuals start to get a little too comfortable and make minor stupid mistakes, like finger on […]
