FUNDAMENTALS OF ADAPTIVE COMBATIVES & TACTICS
MOTOR OIL IN FIREARMS
Motor oil is not suitable for use in firearms because it lacks the appropriate viscosity, cleaning properties, and protective qualities needed to ensure reliable operation and prevent corrosion within a firearm’s barrel and moving parts, making it essential to use oils and lubricants designed explicitly for firearms maintenance.
MODULAR HANDGUNS: A FALSE PROMISE
Modular pistols are often marketed as highly customizable, but in reality, their design prioritizes cost-effective manufacturing and ease of maintenance over true modularity. The interchangeable components are typically standardized parts that allow manufacturers to streamline production and reduce expenses rather than offering users significant flexibility in configuration. As a result, while some changeability exists, the core platforms remain largely fixed, with modular claims serving more as a marketing angle than reflecting meaningful adaptability in function or form.
TOP 5 PISTOLS OF 2025
The top 5 pistols of 2025 use new materials, better comfort, and smart technology to improve reliability and ease of use. The Glock 19 Gen 5 leads with ambidextrous features and better internal parts. The SIG Sauer P365 sells well thanks to its unique trigger, despite some safety concerns. The M&P Shield Plus is durable and reliable in a small carry size. The FN 509MRD is built for easy use with optics and was recently adopted by the LAPD. The Walther PDP Compact offers customizable optics, quick aiming, and great comfort, making it a top pick for personal and tactical use.
SIG P320: A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Everyone seems to be criticizing the Sig P320 more and more these days. Many people have stopped placing blind trust in Sig Sauer and are openly acknowledging some serious and well-documented problems with the firearm. However, I want to take a moment to consider this issue from a different angle and explore aspects that might not be receiving as much attention.
THE P320 FIRES UN-COMMANDED
The Air Force had a recent fatal accident due to uncommanded discharges of the P320 and M17/M18 pistols. The FBI investigated the Sig 320 and M18 after 80+ accidental firing reports in civilian, police, and military use, declaring them unsafe for duty.
