    2) He started out teaching at Front Sight and has continued a number of their shady practices

    3) For a while he had his "Prison Knife Fighting" system training and associates knives and weapons.

    4) He presented the pistol mounted optic on a Glock as though it was his idea.

    5) He has espoused the "warrior mindset" "sheepdog mentality" and gone on a number of non-sensical rants on the internet.

    I'm sure there is more I can't remember now - I think I recall something more recent about fraud/stolen goods.

    Basically, Suarez has had controversy surrounding him his whole time as a trainer. When you compare him to someone like Clint Smith, Mas Ayoob, Craig Douglas - he would be a nightmare to have in court on your side.

    Deleted because it was definitely thread drift on my part.

    Silly me, I though this thread was about a 92.

    I am not for the guy at all but to be fair he only mentioned his name concerning the 9mm vs 45 switch.

    Still the damage was done. Haha



    To the topic on hand, the 92 is a great pistol, I don’t think the article did it any justice.

    I thought so too, but it veered into the weeds the instant the light went green.

    Sometimes I think that maybe I don't need to read anything about guns that Tam didn't write or link to.

    The article linked is the type of writing about guns that gives writing about guns a bad name. It is superficial, virtue signaling, and has a reference to a dubious authority. But writing about guns has never been a literary ambition. Instead it falls into cliches and bubble-headed ideas. I am sure you can provide the examples. Expectations concerning writing about guns shall be lowered accordingly.
