Tracking Your Target
Here's a unique look at tracking a moving target. Many thanks to Dawn of Defense for allowing me access to their range for this video.
Trigger Finger High
Recently I was running an impromptu class for a couple of friends and noticed some minor trigger finger placement issues. It was a prime opportunity to show the guys that while they were following the standard safety rules of moving with their trigger finger off the trigger they were actually still placing them in an incorrect position and needed to be higher on the frame. Here's why.

Train Smart: Dress For Success
A good rule of thumb when planning your attire for training classes is: If you wouldn’t wear it out to dinner with your friends and family, you probably shouldn't wear it to class. Wearing things to class that you don't wear on the streets is just waisted training reps. Train smart, plan ahead.
IWB Kydex Holster Challenge by SK Tactical Reviews
What would you consider a tough holster? What kind of test would you do to challenge the durability of your inside the waistband (IWB) holster? Well SK Tactical has done the work. They ran 7 different holsters through the ringer and guess you came out on top.
Printing While Carrying: Fugget About It!
I’ll be blunt and tell you that the best way to carry a pistol is AIWB. Hands down it’s the most effective way to carry, defend it from a gun grab, and the easiest to access while driving. AIWB is the new way to carry and Bravo Concealment has various options to consider in this stye.
Focused Loading Drills
One such pattern that has been proven time and again is that when we spoon feed rounds to ourselves and our students we end up creating training scars that can become a major issue at the most miss-opportune moments. Body cam footage has now shown us that when we down-load our mags during training we create a subconscious "round counting" effect where we fire a prescribed amount of rounds then drop a mag and perform a reload.
Working From Cover
Last year there was an incident in Dallas, TX where a Police Officer had taken cover at a pillar in front of a building and was trading shots with the bad guy. He made the fatal mistake of searching for his threat on the same side of the pillar where he'd seen him last.

We're out here today with a drill for ya this is our Match Performance Series. This is the RockStar Drill, six with the rifle, reload it, six more with the rifle, transition, get the pistol out for the final six rounds, and the par time we're looking for is ten seconds.
A Letter From The Owner
We know you have been waiting patiently for new gun type options. We would like to apologize for the long wait and assure you that we are constantly working around the clock to expand our holster options.
The Loaded Chamber Indicator - Thing
I watch people doing a lot of busy work before they load their handgun. The quick answer to the loading procedure for me is to insert a mag that I have pre verified that has enough ammo to see me through the drills. I put the mag in, rack the weapon so you pass the loaded chamber indicator and holster up that's it.
Considerations On Active Killer
I'll give you a hypothetical; you are pulling into the Wall-Mart parking lot and you see two dudes running into the store dressed like I am. What do you do? Some of you are saying I get out of the vehicle and I give chase and I put them down. Some of you are saying I get on the gas and I leave. Each of us at one point in our lives has said I'm gonna do this and I'm gonna do that.
