We got our hands on Holosun’s new 507Competition optic today. Looking forward to getting some time on it and letting you all know about it.

During summer, we are driving, walking or hiking, camping, boating, and hitting the water a lot more — whether at a pool, a river, a lake, or the ocean. Unfortunately, all those can give you plenty of chances to practice your foundational medical skills. More importantly, they give you a reason to keep them updated. Linkin bio to learn more. ⁠

The Q-Collar mitigates what they term “brain slosh” by pre-compressing the jugular veins. That compression appears to mitigate the adverse effects that lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Link in bio to learn more. ⁠

Some pretty good stuff can come out of training without spending a lot of money. There’s one prop Clint Smith has used for nearly 30 years. It’s easily made, inexpensive and yet when used by a thinker can be applied wisely so students get something valuable out of their range time. Link in bio to learn more.⁠

The easy-to-carry and conceal handheld lights that go in our pockets are great. So, why consider a light larger than one you could easily carry in your pocket or on your belt? Link in bio for more.⁠

"The Prodigy is a functional defensive or competitive handgun. Little touches that matter to me, like the profiled ambidextrous thumb safeties, were already done. I bought this pistol after the review, and I am looking forward to doing more with my Prodigy." — Erick Gelhaus⁠

Executing well under pressure is all a matter of conditioning. Use the energy of stress to allow yourself to perform better. You’re programming yourself to focus. This is ultimately the point: train yourself to execute correctly when the heat is on. Link in bio to learn more. ⁠

The unwashed village idiots think cops carry back-up guns only to use them as a throw-down. This myth is easy to dispel by properly documenting your second gun with your department. Cops need to understand a second gun is a tool that can save their life as well as any seat belt, helmet or radio ever made.⁠

It seems many ambushes are situational, while only a few are planned. The problem is many officers only think about and wait for a traditional ambush. Be prepared for any sudden assault from any number of unexpected places. Link in bio for more.⁠
