    Does anyone carry a G43?

    The threat has changed a lot in the past decade. Prior, we were worried about the mugger. Now, we're adding the active shooter to the mix. This adds body armor, which greatly narrows the target area. Smaller target means several things: 1. You're gonna need a more accurate pistol. I...

    5 tips to make you a better shooter

    I cut and pasted this brief article from The Firearm Blog. "According to Tim Herron of Team Sig Sauer there is a lot of misinformation from Armchair Experts. He breaks down five things he advises to be a better shooter. Dryfire. It’s real. And it works. It also costs NOTHING but an...

    Reliability of the G43 is excellent. The trigger is easily improved upon.

    Got offered a contractor gig about 8-9 years ago, they needed Snipers. $700/day. I was seriously tempted.

    Best Plate Carrier?

    Gun up first, then gear up. If you function as a team, everyone guns up, then one covers while the other gears up. Once that person is gunned AND geared up, he covers while the other gears up. We do that as part of the Reaction to Vehicle Ambush drill in my Combat Carbine Tramwork class...

    FN to release Civilian M249 SAW

    I usually humped mine like most of the '60gunners humped theirs; padded strap over the shoulder and across the body, gun tucked under the armpit. Cleaning was a lot more involved than the M16A2, but the whole fireteam chipped in and helped clean the SAW. Make it quick n' easy. First...

    FN to release Civilian M249 SAW

    No one should put the word "Sniper" in the same sentence as "Barrett". None are accurate enough to be a Sniper rifle. We were issued the M82A1 when I was a Scout/Sniper in the Corps.....it was an anti-material rifle, as in LARGE material. The Brit SAS used them during Desert Storm to take...

    Guerrilla Sniper, Nov 5-6, Pelham TN

    This is quickly becoming my favorite class to teach. Small class size, outside-the-box thinking and operating, great facility, "non-standard" drills and techniques. If it's stupid, and it works, it ain't stupid. Very.......flexible....... You can run virtually any rifle/carbine and it will...

    GSP issued LWRC rifles?

    God's Special Po-lice! Good time for LE to be well-armed and armored, with your head on a swivel. Of course, that should be all the time. Miss my old street cop days.......times like these I wish I were back there.

    The rig I run

    Well, if you're ever on Carnival Cruiselines, don't pay for the wifi. I go to Africa regularly, so I know crappy wifi, and this is by far the worst I've ever seen.

    The rig I run

    I recently switched from a Beretta 92G to a Wilson Combat Beretta 92G Brigadier with a TLR-1H. Safariland does not make a holster for that setup, so I'm going to take the pistol and one of the adapter plates to Blackpoint Tactical and have them make a holster for it that will work with my rig...

    The rig I run

    Headed out of town for a week-and-a-half family vacation. I'll do a similar thread for my BDS Tactical plate carrier, but it's pretty simple. Nothing on it but 2 plates, 4 mag pouches, and patches.
