    New Data Book pages from Impact Data Books

    Tony, I love it. I would draw very similar sketches for my personal data books. Your pages look a hell of a lot neater than my chicken scratches.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why open carry?

    Longshot, I don't even know where to begin. Your statements are contradicting. One minute you are saying it is up to the person and the situation... Exactly what I am saying. Then you start building a case for OC no matter what. The part that discredits your argument is the Bill of Rights...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why open carry?

    Longshot, You haven't a clue of tactics do you? I said nothing of painting one self in a corner. General AM Gray said, "In tactics, the most important thing is not whether you go left or right, but why you go left or right.” In a nut shell that is my point. Know WHY you are doing something...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why open carry?

    Carry method is a tactic. The choice of how (open vs concealed) and where (on your body) you carry should be made from the tactical standpoint. Most of us in our everyday lives should be concealed. Being concealed offers us the most and best tactical advantages. So what advantage does open...

    Kestrel 4000 problem

    I have a Kestrel 4000 that only stays on for about 40 seconds. Even with brand new batteries it will power up to the time set screen then slowly fade out. Pull the batteries out and put them back in and the whole process repeats. I emailed NK's repair email address a week ago and have not...

    Three major failures in one day.

    Yesterday I had three different training sessions with three different clients. Each client experienced a different failure during training and I wanted to share the experience. Experiencing failures is nothing new. Though these were all a bit odd and rather unexpected. Client “A”...

    New product from TAB GEAR

    The SAC is a great piece of kit. It is bomb proof. I played with a few of the prototypes this year and they are awesome. $50 sounds like a lot but when you look at the amount of construction in this product you will understand that $50 is a fair price. Hell, a Tactical Tailor 30rd M4 mag...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best 9mm sub compact carry pistol

    I have been carrying the Kahr CW9 for about 2 years and absolutely love it. Several guys at work carry the CM9 or CW9. The CM9 is a bit too small for me but the CW is perfect. I have over 3000 rounds through it and the only thing I have done was clean it and replace 2 magazines. In the past...

    Calling the shot/Recoil?

    Chris, Recoil will move the weapon but if you are straight behind the rifle with proper natural point of aim you will return to the target. I am not sure about shooting from the bench and receiving the same results. I just don't shoot off of a bench.

    Murphy's law and the safety

    The other day while doing some range work with a new law enforcement officer on the AR15 I observed this between drills.... The weapon was empty and slung. We were discussing the next drill when I observed the officer's car keys inside the trigger guard. We double checked the chamber to...

    Accident vs Negligence

    Graham, I said it earlier. The point of the original post was my opinion that society needs to stop calling these incidents, "accidents". I said it earlier that you need to stop looking at this from an investigative point of view. I am not making an attempt to charge or convict the...

    Accident vs Negligence

    Graham, I can't believe you are incapable of understanding what so many of us do understand. In this specific case, not securing a loaded firearm is the problem. If that handgun was dedicated to home defense and needed to be loaded than it should have been brought out. If the officer was going...

    Accident vs Negligence

    I failed to explain myself clearly. My point about labeling was concerning ALL incidents. I scan the news daily and pay attention to incidents like this one. This specific incident pushed me over the edge because it was absolutely avoidable. When someone shoots themselves or someone else gets...

    Accident vs Negligence

    M40A1, The sub title for this forum says, "Discussion of Firearms Training to include Handgun & Carbine". I think safe and proficient weapons handling falls in that category.

    Accident vs Negligence

    M40A1, Any firearms or tactical training starts with safe and proficient weapons handling skills. That should be a focus of any firearms/tactical training program. Without that foundation everything else will fall apart. Read my original post. I specifically talk about the lack of safe...
