409 - Defensive Handgun Fit

The Safety Solutions Academy » Podcast Feed ·

2016/10/26

Although proper defensive handgun fit is often ignored for various reasons it would be silly for you to not take fit into consideration when you shop for a new defensive handgun or evaluate your current handguns viability. A properly fit handgun can help to make sure your first round is placed where it needs to be, follow-up shots are on the threat as quickly as possible, and that you are able to keep your handgun running when it is empty or malfunctioning. All of these tasks may be important for

2016/10/21

When it comes to defensive shooting one thing is relatively certain, if you need to use your concealed carry or home defense handgun to protect yourself or those that you love, you are going to have to hold onto it. You are going to need to grip your handgun. Although we can certainly perform and prevail with a substandard grip, establishing the best grip possible is in our best interest for a number of reasons: The more consistent your grip is, the easier it will be to fire the gun with speed

2016/10/19

Pocket carry, just like all concealed carry methods, is a compromise. You always need to be looking at where you need to value conceal-ability, comfort, security, and access. Typically the more concealed and more comfortable the gun is, the less access you have to that gun. It can be taken so far toward comfort or concealment that it is almost as if you don't have a gun. However, when concealed carry is executed correctly in pants pocket it can be an outstanding way to stage a gun to deal with a

Episode 405 On Selecting a Quality Concealed Carry Belt When it comes to carrying a concealed handgun it pays to understand that your belt is the foundation for successful concealed carry. Instead of acknowledging this simple idea, many people focus on the gun. We all understand why this happens, because guns are sexy and mysterious. The fact remains that without a good belt, you aren’t likely to carry your gun. Why? If

This past year at the SSA MAG 40 with Massad Ayoob one of the students that attended class was Steve Kent. I have had the pleasure of training with Steve in the past at Paul-E-Palooza events and was glad to have Steve back. Steve is a corrections officer in the State of New York and is an avid trainer. He spends time as both an instructor and a student. Being that Steve works in the New York state prison system it makes sense that Steve has some experience with violent criminals and their

403 - Prioritize and Execute from Extreme Ownership

2016/09/01

It is my humble opinion that we must take responsibility for ourselves and our actions. There are times in everyones lives where things seem beyond our control. At the same time REGARDLESS of the circumstances we bear responsibility in the situations that we find ourselves in. I believe this to be true in our personal lives, in our relationships with others, our business environment and even in our own personal protection. Recently I discussed the book Extreme Ownership on the Industrialist

We learn best by doing. The problem with learning by doing however, is the fact that you actually have to surmount the difficulties you face to learn the lessons. It seems, the more important the lessons, the more difficult the learning. There is an alternative. We can learn from the experiences of others if we are really committed to studying their experiences and if they are willing to share.

The sound quality suffered a bit as you can hear a bit of engine and AC noise in the background of my audio, but no excuses! Time to get some episodes up!

After the second day of range at the most recent MAG 40 course hosted by Safety Solutions Academy I sat down and spoke with a gaggle of students that participated in class. The students were from a wide variety of backgrounds and from geographical locations from around the US. I like to get to know the students that I am working with, especially the students that face challenges. Richard faces the challenge of living and working in a State that has little respect for his God given rights. NJ.

It is vital that we are constantly challenging our beliefs. When it comes to the more critical aspects of our lives, we owe it to ourselves to make certain that we are evaluating on truth rather than on what we believe to be the truth. Of course that is an endless quest, however, it is an important one. Today I share with you a conversation designed to help me in that pursuit of knowledge.

When you find yourself in a situation where you are discussing your rights to keep and bear arms or your right to self-defense, I think it is pretty important to make sure that you are discussing with logic on your side. Logic is an important tool and often the gun culture rails on the other side for not using it. Well, pot, kettle, black. Wake up people. Gun owners don't do much better when it comes to logic.
