Article 2 range in Lombard is probably the closest LGS & range. http://article2range.com/

Maxon is a little farther away up in Des Plaines but is a bit newer/nicer. ...

There is definitely a lot of good information in the thread, the only thing I would add from my perspective is to not look at it as either BJJ or Krav. I would strongly suggest to cross train in...

Sorry for your loss Chuck.

RIP Cpl. Harwood

We'll take it from here...

Yeah, I just got sucked into doing an AR pistol build as well. I already bought the upper, a BCM 11.5" w/ 10" KMR, and included BCG. I am still in the process of building the lower but I am going...

Thanks for the drill suggestion John. I also really liked your ideas with the photorealistic targets.

Thanks for the added commentary Nyeti. Great stuff as usual, now I gotta go process it a little and do the work.

Nyeti,

I’ve gained a lot from your contributions in this thread, as well as many others. For the benefit of those of us who can’t make it to one of your courses in the foreseeable future, could...

Bearing Arms did an article on the NBC news report of the police firefights during...

I agree that non-LEO/MIL will operate under different circumstances. Krav Maga Worldwide has a separate division dedicated to training for LEO/MIL, so I'd conclude that lots of time and effort by...

Based on my experience, I would disagree with your characterization of Krav Maga as "very paint by numbers". You seem to be painting with a real broad brush here. Any shortcomings you perceive of...

Ever check out Brownells Training Group? I just checked their schedule and they have several courses scheduled through November. The classes are held at the Big Springs Shooting Complex in...

To the OP, if you are looking for someone to break down your technique and rebuild it, you might want to consider individual/private training. The $ outlay upfront would be much higher than a...

My .02 is that both are important to have and spend time developing. They are not mutually exclusive as earlier posters have noted. I submit however that the relative importance of the two will...

I have no personal contacts at FLETC or in HHS OIG but my take on it is this:

The Special Bulletin in the bottom of the email received by PYRO appears to have been issued by the national office...

Borrowed from one of Todd's posts in the Shooting Goals thread:

Draw from concealment to 8" @ 7yd
Good: <2 sec
Very Good: <1.5 sec
Excellent: <1 sec

Is there a point on this scale where one...

On my Galco holster, there is about a 4.5" space between the two belt loops, which are 1.5" wide. I usually wear a 1.25" wide belt, hook through the rear belt loop of the holster, hook through the...

OP - How much importance do you place on having a fast draw for self defense?
Why?

I’ve been thinking along these same lines after reading all the great information on the “Fighting With a Gun”...

I hear you loud and clear. Believe, I am not proud of the holster, but the job requires that authorized holsters have a retention device. Until recently the only holsters that were issued were the...

Someone from my agency shot himself while reholstering into the old Blackhawk Serpa with the high sidewalls. The holster was canted outward when he wore it due to his "build". During...
