Great thread. Enjoyed seeing the thoughtful choices others have made.

My summer setup is below. The medical, large gas, a light go in a light jacket or small pack. Everything else on my person.

Thank you for these pictures. I'm struggling with looking at candela and lumen numbers of different light options then predicting how they will perform in my three areas. 5 acre rural property, 2500...

I have a Surefire Stiletto clipped to raven pocket shield. I also have a Surefire titan on my keychain.

Thank you for posting. Pity that cut that. It's legendary.

Multiple classes and instructors plus years of competition shooting same as what overs have said

Stock Glocks rarely break
Customized Glocks break and when the original parts are put back in...

This. I went from running IDPA matchers to IDPA outlaw. The only rule we relaxed was appendix carry and bang, back to full sign ups. We let our IDPA club membership drop.

Oh, Bill Wilson's wife...

Irony that such a specific corner of the industry has that much influance on IDPA. I would like to see Phil Strader have an equal industry voice in IDPA. Maybe I'm crossing the beams there...

The stippling on replacable parts. That favors the SIG FCU as the entire lower is replaceable.



That is intersting. I would assume the indsutry would be pushing to CO as it sells new guns and...

My MPS arrived backed today. Brand new unit. Kudos to Stiener. No I have a model without the auto shutoff.

I'm still looking for the Glock Carbine that takes Glock mags.

Same here. A lot less recoil but close enough.

+1. Personal experience aligns with this. The problem is "the system" looks only at hard evidence and a weak / desperate / insecure person can kick the ball off making you look like the problem. Get...

A lot of good advice. I'd suggest you do the kid hand over in the parking lot of the local police station rather than at your house.

What others have said. Get video or at least document...

Trained with Bill Rapier from AMTAC shooting two weekends back.

His teaching a shot cycle with the AR of Safety, touchpoint, slack, and shot. Where touchpoint is the stock on your cheek. This is...

Interesting thoughts on the shield. I've staged a Vertx backpack with a soft armor panel and drill using the back panel pass through to "captain America" it. It's a lot of coverage.

I have the...

No end of podcasts out there with the JSOC alumni praising black hills and Barnes. The was Mike Ritland on Clint Emerson's podcast. He described shooting people in Iraq with green tip that ran half a...

Craig explained it was the guy who runs Viking Tactics for Kyle Lamb in Germany. His not responded. I think this could be a great product, but I'm running the AMTAC which fills the gap.

That is not it. It’s a copy of the spyderco folder but a fixed blade with pocket clip. I’ve handled it a EWO. Craig pointed me to the maker as Kyle Lambs rep in Germany. No response. You can see it...

There is some luxury branding and pride of ownership going on. Tracker Dan blades are expensive because they are hard to get. You see the same with Half Face Blades.

I used to have a Trace Rinaldi...

Every breakthrough idea and paradigm shift by definition breaks the established thinking and will be ridiculed. How do we distinguish the McDojo bull shit from legit innovation? I remember first time...

Does a 1911 get your more of these than a plastic fantastic?

I don't see any discussion on capacity or operating the safeties when in an entangled gunfight.

The Police Chief magazine experiment took non sworn and timed how long it took them to figure the...

Go Ruck is releasing it's velcro backed "tactical" version again. So you get a factory velcro back panel. I wish they would do the waxed canvas heritage in this version. Would be amazing.

Great thread and just read my way through. I separate quality training into two parts: the content and delivery.

Content: is the fundamental content of the class relevant to my context and it...

I've experienced all of this. I'd add the famous industry instructor who spent much of the class on his phone and lunch away from the students with a film crew. My other peeve is cutting the finial...
