Training
Mastering Iron Sights
At a recent class I ran my truck gun which is set up with only Troy Micro Battle Sights. It makes for a true truck gun that doesn't need any optics battery maintenance.
Being Consistent
After making a major change to AIWB carry I have realized that this is not only a lifestyle change but also a total dedication to retraining my hands. I noticed some things at my most recent pistol class that are worth sharing here.

Abner Miranda: Bravo Concealment DOS
An emerging carry style known as appendix carry inside the waistband (AIWB). Bravo Concealment makes a great AIWB holster, the Drop Out of Sight (DOS). Here is why I like it so much.
The Why Behind the SNS-UCR
Carrying a weapon is like anything else that you put your mind to. I chose a modicum of discomfort so that I’m prepared should trouble come looking for me. I hope you’ll consider the SNS-UCR for your dedicated pistol mag concealment needs.

Last Man Standing
As difficult as it is to say, there may come a time when you may have to get on the gas and leave an area when you see trouble coming. I decided a long time ago that if I was already in a venue and something got started I would do something about it, if possible. My training has opened my eyes and helped me temper my planned response to an attack.

Instructor Zero explains and demonstrates how important it is to train your support/guard hand.
The “Why” Behind the SNS-R
Most think that SNS-R stands for Shoot-N-Scoot Rig. Nope, that’s just the catchy name I gave it. What those letters really stand for are Sympathetic Nervous System Rig.
Why I Train With Steel
The other way in which I use steel is with the aforementioned Challenge Targets 6” Pistol Plates. These are 1/4” AR500 steel and are rated for pistol use only. While this limits their use they’re actually a lot more useful, to me, than heavy static target systems.
Transition!
This is how it normally goes in training. The instructor would create a malfunction and the shooter would fail to release the rifle and transition to their pistol. Why? Because they were caught in what I refer to as vapor lock. It’s an automotive term look it up.
