Eric Shelton, former host of the Handgun Podcast is my guest host for this episode. I decided to take a little time off and asked Eric to jump in and fill in for me and he did a terrific job, as I knew he would. He discusses topics such as the NRA and other gun rights organizations, an update on his status and what’s in the future for him, and also concealed carry handguns. As always, Eric provides thought provoking and useful information for all firearms enthusiasts and concealed carry advocates. I miss his podcast, but also understand how life takes twists and turns. So I think you’ll enjoy this treat as much as I have. Thank you Eric for helping me out and best of luck in all that you do. Don’t miss this episode. I’m taking 2 weeks off right now to get a few things done at work. Next week, you will hear a cool interview that’s already recorded and I will be back on November 14, 2011 with coverage of Suarez International’s, Advanced Close Range Gunfighting course. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show.

I shot the Texas Tactical IDPA match on October 15, 2011 at the Cedar Ridge Range in San Antonio. You’ll hear coverage of the match from the range and an interview with a shooter on my squad who shot his XD9 for the first time. You’ll also hear stage descriptions and the results of a few stages. I finished 8th out of 27 shooters in the SSP division. I’ll take that, since I didn’t shoot a match in almost 6 weeks previous to this match. I was in “gamer” mode and shot my Glock 34, Comp-Tac OWB. belt holster and concealed with an IDPA vest. You’ll experience the match in audio format from the range. Links and discussion can be found on the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. Thanks for downloading and listening and don’t forget, this will be your last chance to get version 3 of my Shooter’s Club Podcast. Click the buy now button, to help out my show, if you wish.

I’ve received quite a few emails asking me, “what is a 1,000 round trigger job?” First, let me say, I didn’t make that up. I read it somewhere on a forum and can’t remember where, but I’m sure that expression has been used before. So during the first segment, I’ll answer in detail what I mean by that. Trigger jobs are one of the most talked about modifications on a handgun, yet it seems like some people spend too much money on them and don’t get a good enough benefit. Most decent quality guns have triggers that can be mastered with enough practice. That’s my main point, but listen for more details. During segment 2, I respond to my backlog of listener emails. Please keep them coming, I will get to most of them. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show
