Rifle Carry Modes
Image
First I want to define the difference between a Carry method from a Ready method. A Ready can be expanded to a Ready To Shoot Position. These are used immediately before and during the fight and share one common attribute - that they either already have the muzzle on target,... Continue reading

The M4 "Pistol"
Image
We have been working with this weapon some time now and I think it is a vastly under-rated system. To recap. I bought a 10.5" LMT Upper unit from one of our staff instructors. It came as pictured less the Micro Aimpoint. I had a number of M4 lowers in... Continue reading

Regarding the dealing with those who kidnap children...such as the Ohio group currently in the news. I have looked directly into the face of evil...several times. I know it when I see it. It is not a good feeling to know that, but I would not trade that perspective for... Continue reading

Owning The Night - Which Path?
Gunfighting has always been an ongoing study. There are innovations being made constantly, both in the tactical (aka skills) and technical (aka gear) areas. It is a mistake to focus exclusively on one, and ignore the other. For example, one may have very good night combat skills, but his ability... Continue reading

Operation "Colorado Freedom"
We will show the socialists in Colorado that their oppressive laws on the people of Colorado are totally irrelevant by flooding the state with High Capacity Magazines right under coming the New Iron Curtain in July. We have sets of Magazines available to Colorado residents. These will ONLY be sold... Continue reading

Behind The Lines In Colorado

We received the tragic news that the state of Colorado had gone over to the dark side and embraced the ways of Mordor. For an entire day we have been reading debates and rhetoric. Our good friends at MagPul are fighting and will leave the state if they need to.... Continue reading

Technology And Owning The Dark - 2

The method most basic, for using a Night Vision Monocular in conjunction with a handgun goes like this. Hold the monocular in your support side hand and bring it up to your non-dominant eye. How close will be up to you, but understand that there is a glow given off... Continue reading

Technology and Owning The Darkness

The city had been stalked by a rapist. This guy was good. We thought he was an ex-military guy or an ex-cop. He left no physical evidence, and managed to hit every night for the last ten days regardless of how many units had been deployed to the area and... Continue reading

The Greatest Danger to the American Way of Life?
So lets think of this for a moment. Just for fun now... Who or what is the greatest actual threat to the American Way of Life? First lets consider communism. Communism was considered dangerous enough a generation ago (as dangerous as the Nazis) that the west conducted a decades long... Continue reading

Zeroing The M4
Image
A discussion about zeroing the M4 will get as heated as which type of motorcycle is best...or what religion will get you saved soonest. Nonetheless, here we go. The first thing to consider is what are you trying to hit? A zero suitable for hitting clay birds on a hillside... Continue reading

THE SIG 556 ZURICH WEDGE (Patent Pending) The SIG 550 Series of rifles is a blending of modern western manufacturing and engineering with the old world simplicity of Kalashnikov's design. The SIG retains the reliability that the AK-47 is famous for, but offers refinement and accuracy standards only seen in... Continue reading

Active Shooters - Final Solution
Since the killings in Connecticut, we have heard all manner of proposed solutions to these problems. Most of the solutions proposed smack of stupidity and cowardice…and a few other things. In this article I will state why I think these events occur, and how to best stop them. I begin... Continue reading

An Open Reply To Jeanne Assam
Ms. Assam, First off I want to point out to you that you would get a stronger following, and maybe even customers, from the Armed Citizen Community, whereas I suspect the Police Community would not likely give you the time of day, much less any business. I too have a... Continue reading

On The CT Killings
I was in Scottsdale the morning when I heard the news from CT. I was at a business meeting and had to place that item off until later. But as I began the long drive home on I-17, I listened to Fox and CNN and various other sources. I cried... Continue reading

My Impressions of The FS-2000

We have been talking about this rifle for a while and now I want to do a proper article on it in the same form as I did the 556R. We ordered one of these rifles for a student and got a second one for T&E. I know when I... Continue reading

Keep the context - Close range (inside 5 yards), Bad guy has the initiative (he starts the fight and not you), and you must react. Same context as what we see done with the pistol. Thus...no standing in a picture perfect Magpul-esque shooting position unless you wish to make it... Continue reading

Weapon Concept - The Personal Defense Weapon

After some of the work we did at the Submachinegun Gunfighting Class I wanted to revisit the discussion of the PDW. Sometimes things get confused due to the meaning of words being different for one man than for another. It is easy for a modern day Jeremiah Johnson living in... Continue reading

This last weekend we conducted the SMG Gunfighting Class at the tail end of our yearly corporate staff meeting and in-service training. We had 20 Suarez Staff Instructors involved in teaching the class. When you get a group of minds like this together, all looking at the same concept, amazing... Continue reading

Hippy Earth Tones Camouflage (H.E.A.T. Camo)

Catchy name don't you think? No, TSD is not going to make or sell clothing. Tried that when we sold Woolrich and 5.11 and it is too much drama for what it is worth. The matter at hand arose this last weekend when we held the Small Unit Tactics class... Continue reading

FIELD RIFLE POSITIONS - STANDING
Image
If you can avoid taking a crucial shot from standing, do so. It is the least accurate position. Nonetheless, it should be the most trained for that very reason, and because when the shot must be taken right now, as in the snap shot, the standing will be the only... Continue reading

TRIJICON SRS RED DOT

We received our first shipment of the Trijicon SRS sights. We got the model with the integral Bobro mount. There is another unit that comes with the "Colt Style" double screw Quick Detach, but if it is mounted correctly, will neither detach, nor will it do so quickly. We opted... Continue reading

The "Mercedes Benz" Non-Permissive Environment Pistol
Image
There is a time when one cannot carry a properly sized pistol. This could be due to social or operational restrictions, but the need of being able to take a defensive position instantly remains. Often what the pistolero has done is downsize to a micro caliber such as 25 ACP,... Continue reading

FIELD RIFLE SHOOTING - KNEELING

Kneeling position is the next in our series. It is about as accurate, all things being equal, as squatting. Classic Kneeling is assumed as follows. You drop into a kneeling position with the leg approximately 90 degrees apart forming a right angle. Your butt rests on the heel of your... Continue reading

FIELD RIFLE SHOOTING - SQUATTING

It was during the era of the LA Riots. My partner and I were moving down an alley in Los Angeles, moving to a position to intercept some bank robbers. It was dark, about 2200 HRS, and our investigation had tracked them down to a house our team was setting... Continue reading
