Recently, while practicing speed shooting at the range and filming videos, I used my M&P 2.0 compact 9mm. So I decided to discuss that experience and all about this fine pistol.

It took me one year, but I finally made a determination on my position on handgun modifications for concealed carry. Inspired in part by an excellent blog post and analysis by Karl Rehn of KR Training. See show notes below.

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.

A little over a week ago I took Suarez International’s Close Range Gunfighting course in Dallas. Many listeners were there to train with me. It was intense and taught us about the defensive mindset and how to safely and efficiently use our gun to stop the situation if it ever got to that point. So I decided to record a little bit of what happened at the course. I interviewed other students and also had a chance to record our instructor discuss the significant points of the class. Short of actually being there, this recording should help you share the experience. Please try to get to one of these classes. I think it’s a wise investment if you carry a gun and plan to use it as a defensive tool. We cover after action assessments, SUL, shooting with both hands and a lot more. Thanks for listening. I will post links related to this show on the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. Thanks for listening. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show.
