Kyle Defoor Talks Mindset

Kyle Defoor Talks Mindset

When we think about concealed carry and our everyday carry we tend to levitate towards all the cool gear, weapons, and clothing available. Not to take away from those, they play an important role in your loadouts. One of the more overlooked subjects when building your loadout is Mindset. We’ve all heard the term mindset and situational awareness before. […]

“Partial EDC, and an answer to the question of what item do I use the most….either Swiss Army knife or flashlight, tough to say. Used the Swiss to cut gum out of a dogs hair yesterday but flashlight gets used daily too.” – Kyle Defoor Products seen in the photo: Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA flashlight Victorinox […]

Loadout Room photo of the day: What carrier do I wear nowadays?

I had the privilege of training with Kyle Defoor in the past and can confidently say that he is one of the top instructors out there. You can take any one of his courses, no matter your skill level, and learn something new. The small break out sessions that Kyle conducts throughout his courses are just as […]

Loadout Room photo of the day: PDW Raider pants

Picked up two pairs of Prometheus Design Werx Raider pants. Can’t say enough about them- super comfy, double knees, doesn’t scream tactical, wide enough cuff for boots and multiple pockets. Inevitably when I post about the gear I use or recommend someone will comment on price in a negative way. These are $130 per pair. […]

“Questions as to what I wear in the winter months training our MIL and LE…..this Crye Precision chest rig fits great over my down jacket and/or shell. If you truly train year around one of these is necessary when temps drop to the low 20s and teens and you’re in it for 12 hours. I […]

Loadout Room photo of the day | Winter riding gear – boots

I use the Sidi All Roads boots. Full Goretex liner, good protection throughout, resole-able and they’ll go over or under any pants. I’ve personally used them at 25 degrees for two-plus hours at 80+ MPH with only a normal Darn Tough Vermont wool sock and had no issues. Buy once. Courtesy of Defoor Proformance

Smith Drop Elite Sunglasses: Unmatched clarity and MilSpec protection

Smith Drop Elite I’m a sucker for a good quality pair of sunglasses that double as eye protection for shooting and other adventure related activities. We have previously reviewed the Smith Frontman Elite sunglasses. The Smith Frontman Elite are a do-it-all shield for your eyes. They provide ballistic protection whether you’re on the range, the battlefield, ripping down your […]

Why a Navy SEAL Trains Shooters with Glock Pistols

Why a Navy SEAL Trains Shooters with Glock Pistols

Courtesy of Tactical Life Ease of use and a consistent trigger pull are just two of the reasons given by trainer Kyle Defoor for recommending Glock pistols to both beginners and advanced students. “In my humble opinion, these reasons make Glocks the best pistols for new shooters,” said Defoor. Defoor is the owner of Defoor […]

Watch: Kyle Defoor Pistol Skills Test

If any of you have taken a pistol course from Kyle Defoor of Defoor Proformance Shooting, then you’ve been through these tests.
