    Hearing protection

    Re: Hearing protection Have to be muffs. I offer soft plugs and muffs on the range. I wish we could just issue everyone a set of Surefires but people are lazy and irresponsible and won't bring them to range.

    Re: Best non 1911 .45 for duty/carry? Glock, Sig or M&P... you will be fine with any of them as long as you like the way they fit your hand. The Glock and M&P both have a little bigger grips but they also have more capacity and less of a price tag. Sig is a closer, "One size fits all" but...

    Re: New Ruger MKII holster I picked one up at Shot Show in 2009 from Tactical Solutions. Great product but I wish I had a paddle for mine. It only came with the belt loop.

    SPR Course

    Re: SPR Course I would be leery of anyone offering an "open enrollment" SPR class. When I hear someone say, "SPR", I assume they are talking about a Mk12 Mod1. Though bring together a group of people from various agencies and/or civilians the "SPR" turns into a variety of weapon systems...

    Movie Theater Battle: Los Angeles

    Re: Battle: Los Angeles Sounds like a bunch of you are Marine haters... Who wants to watch a movie where the Army saves the world? Heck, talk about science fiction... Trust me, when the world ends the only things to survive are cockroaches and Marines.

    Mental Training

    Re: Mental Training A great book to read is <span style="text-decoration: underline">The Unthinkable</span> by Amanda Ripley. It is a study of disasters and how people react to them. Really interesting stuff, it gave me more insight on how training and mental preparedness need to overlap.
