This episode does not have one single topic. A couple of listeners called in some voice mails about 1911’s and a close call with a potential bad guy. Then Ben Branam and I discussed guns we want to purchase, tactical pens, holsters and training. So between my answers to the voice mails and the interview with Ben, it turned into a mixed bag of topics. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Thanks for listening.

It’s often said that most gunfights happen at night or in low light. Yet most people don’t train in low light situations regularly. If all you do is practice in daylight, how will you be confident enough to hit your target if, God forbid, your attacked at night? So, Roger Phillips is my guest on this episode to discuss this subject. He teaches a lot of low light and night fighting courses. This episode will probably make you re-think a few things about how you practice and what gear you choose for your handgun.

A lot of myths about firearms and ammunition are perpetuated on the internet or in gun stores and gun shows. Recently I was at a gun shop and overheard a gun sales clerk give some very bad information to a new gun buyer. So that motivated me to make a list of incorrect firearms information commonly said by internet commandos, gun store clerks or the general public. The problem is that once these myths are told often enough and spread far enough, people start to believe them. So this episode is dedicated to busting those myths. If you know someone new to handguns please ask them to listen to this episode. This episode is released earlier than usual because I’ve got a couple of really good interviews coming up that I want you to hear soon.

What will you do if you have to fight to your handgun? It seems like a lot of people train to fight with their handgun, but what if your attackers are trying to prevent you from accessing your handgun? Do you know how to handle that? In this episode I discuss that subject with a review of some training. Also, Alan from Utah, a listener sent me a pretty good voice mail about 2nd Amendment issues and a Wilderness Tactical SafePacker.

Several listeners called in some excellent voice mails on topics such as point shooting, short triggers, the rules of engagement and training classes. Also, this episode starts with a detailed announcement of my new position with Suarez International. This is a middle of the week podcast, which is not normal for me, but when I get a backlog of voice mails, I think it’s important to get them on the air and addressed.
