Last weekend I hosted Roger Phillips’ class “Point Shooting Progressions.” Wow! What a huge game changer! Never again will I put such an importance on sights on a handgun. I’m not saying they aren’t necessary, but they are far less important now. We were literally making quality hits out to 11 yards without using sights. One student lost his front sight on the 2nd day and finished the class with no front sight! He still made very good hits and was quite accurate without his front sight. Some trainers dismiss the validity of point shooting and go so far as to call it a fraud. I say, “Those who say it can’t be done, should quit bothering those of us who are doing it.” This is a review of the course.

Since ammunition is so hard to find and so expensive, I decided to record some thoughts about ammo buying. Did you know about the proposed “ammunition background check Act of 2013?” I also include some information about what handguns to consider purchasing. Other topics include why we probably have the ammo crisis and how anti gun politicians are going after ammo too. I also cover some listener voice mails including a Glock 27 review.

For my 223rd episode I decided to dedicate it to the .223/5.56 cartridge and the AR-15 rifle. Jon Hodoway of Nighthawk Custom Training joins me to discuss the history of the .223 and the use of it as a home defense weapon, hunting and it’s ballistics.

This week I discussed what’s changed in America with respect to the subject of guns and violence in America. Why are we seeing more gun violence and mass shootings? How does the power of denial figure into it? Who killed common sense? What’s influencing people to commit these heinous acts? What’s the answer to preventing them? I also answer quite a few listener voice mails.

This is a testimonial from a student at Close Range Gunfighting last summer. It’s sometimes good to hear other people’s experiences rather than listening to me talk about it. Many thanks to Damian for sharing his experience.

The ammo crisis is a real one. There’s no telling when ammo prices and supplies will get back to normal, if ever. I think it’s safe to say the firearms climate has changed. Even if sweeping gun control does not pass, the simple threat of it seems to send the markets into frenzy. This week, Jon Hodoway joins me to discuss unique ways to get ammo and whether it makes sense to standardize your calibers or not. He also has some advice for new gun purchasers.

Should you use a compensated or ported gun for concealed carry? I received an email from a listener about this subject, so Ben and I got together to answer that question. This is a subject I’ve never talked about on this podcast, so I was thankful for the emailed question. We also did a short review on Springfield XD and XDS pistols.

I’ve received a lot of emails and other messages regarding questions from people who want to get into firearms instruction. So I decided to record a podcast about my journey and how it came about and what is required, in my opinion. A lot of people can call themselves an instructor, but it’s my view that you need to have a certain skill set or at least a decent amount of training before teaching others. One cannot teach, that which they do not know.

Those of us who are freedom loving people, who understand the protection of our rights under the 2nd Amendment are probably very frustrated by the nonsense being proposed today. So in consideration of that, I asked Glen Tate to interview with me again to discuss how he thinks all of this gun control will affect us. We discuss gun registration, databases, universal background checks and other topics and why it’s about CONTROL, not guns. The government wants to control us, plain and simple. It’s not really the guns they care about controlling. Glen also talks about a personal story regarding a friend of his, who has made in interesting transformation!
