    Why are the employees at the LGS/Range armed?

    From any owners or employees who have worked in this sort of job and OC'd, I am interested in what level of training was required/recommended and whether issues like liability and decision making were covered in talks with mgmt. While arming bank guards and armored cars may have a similar...

    What is the best sharpener for knives and scissors

    And comes with a dvd illustrating how to sharpen everything from scissors to veggie peelers, etc. Not all of which is intuitive. I would highly recommend it as well. Even if the guy gets into freehand (which it can also do) or a Worksharp (next step up imo) it's invaluable for quick touchups...

    Good .22 pistol?

    I'd go with the lcr if the trigger pull isn't an issue. I wish I'd gotten in quality reps as a young kid with a nice DAO revolver.

    SP101 - front sight recommendations

    Disliked the standard dot and the hi viz fiber optic. Both sacrificed precision (and not for speed) across the board and also skewed ranged fire. Not acceptable. My LCRs both sport a factory site painted orange over a white basecoat. One has CT laser grips which I do recommend. Both are among...

    Kind of dull

    As cliff pointed out somewhere once, the factory edge may also involve an excessive amount of fatigued metal due to being ground out quickly on a belt sander or wheel. Even if it is the perfect angle/symmetrical, until the fatigued metal is removed the steel may not perform (in terms of edge...

    Kind of dull

    That's a good start. He has also written about it on his forum if you need more.

    Claude Werner has a new blog

    I should add that his private full and half day lessons are very reasonably priced.

    Cleaning a Whetstone

    Great post Large rubber pencil erasers are a good "in the field" option that can work for ceramics in a pinch. Simply rub vigorously until it starts cutting metal again.

    Claude Werner has a new blog

    Glad to see his stuff discussed and complimented here, he's one of my go-to recommendations for training when people ask.

    Kind of dull

    Google cliff stamp's method of rough shaping before finishing the edge. Great way to save a lot of time.

    SD knives

    I really like that swick. Looks like a more versatile knife than the tdk (which is pretty great for the intended purpose, i believe). I keep a shivworks clinch pick and/or spyderco p'kal, one or usually both, all the time.

    What am I missing in this 'training'? 'drills'?

    I might give them a taste of longer ranges at the end and less focus on reloads. Statistically per a convo I had yesterday with Claude Werner there is slim chance of reloading for most civilian defensive shootings. Sorry if I missed any dry fire but if you don't have any it might be a good...

    Dot Torture Drill

    Fair enough and you can definitely do it if it suits you - from my reading (p-f) and experience though the best progression is just increasing distance. I wouldn't say someone doing a time element was wrong but I do not really see the point when there are available drills that are so much more...

    Handgun tactics. Why I am intentionally passive in classes.

    These terms you use like innocent, and so on, don't really carry legal weight to my knowledge. That is not for you to decide. Someone can hinder your defense by clutching your weapon bearing hand, or standing between you and your target screaming... This does not, according to my thinking or...

    Handgun tactics. Why I am intentionally passive in classes.

    I'm glad you spoke up here because I was about to bring up the reasonable person standard, but you definitely have more gravitas in this area. In short I think this thread may be good grounds for the OP to consider whether his rationale is likely to be found reasonable, because if anything we...

    Dot Torture Drill

    Comstock mode or similar (even just a stopwatch) is a good choice for this drill if you want a time element. You can preload a bunch of mags and just record your overall time, then try to beat it or improve your score within the same amount of time. I haven't heard of the creators of the dot...

    Handgun tactics. Why I am intentionally passive in classes.

    That may be your perspective but I would advise you consider not posting it on an open forum that's indexed by Google, edit that for posterity, and further perhaps get some training that poses alternative options, because the scenarios you described do not sound like good shoots to me. You are...

    Pepper Spray--The Truth

    Oct, thanks for all your work here. Great stuff. Do you have any experience, and opinions, regarding the spitfire key chain oc unit? They were bought out by sabre red a couple years ago but i believe they used to be their own outfit. I will go ahead and say, i like them and I give them as...

    LED Flashlight suggestion sought

    I guess that's one way to look at it, but do you carry a gun for personal protection? (rhetorical question) If so, it seems that the same reasoning you use for that could be applied to other things - nonlethal options, field self trauma care, hand to hand skills, movement and positional skills...
