FIREARM STOPPAGE TTP: THE FOOLPROOF WAY TO KEEP YOUR WEAPONS RUNNING
Stoppages can occur anytime. They’re rare with quality ammo and experienced users but not impossible. I’ve had stoppages in combat, competition, and training. They’re not gremlins but may signal real issues. Know more, do more. Practice often, learn daily, and embrace stress.
GAS MASK TTP
Gas masks can either be a curse or a vital tool of the trade for you. The key difference lies in how you train with them and put them to use in real-world scenarios. Over the years, I’ve learned several important lessons through training to fight and live while wearing a gas mask, and these insights have shaped my approach to readiness and self-defense.
PISTOL CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean and maintain your pistol to keep it working well and last longer. Check for worn or broken parts during cleaning, so you can replace them in time and avoid problems. Regular care keeps your pistol safe and reliable.
PRACTICAL PISTOL LUBRICATION
Proper pistol lubrication is essential for reliable performance and longevity. Applying the right amount of lubricant to key areas—such as the slide rails, barrel, and moving parts—reduces friction, prevents wear, and helps repel dirt and debris.
NEW CCW DISCERNMENT PROCESS
When determining if a new pistol is worth the investment, consider factors such as reliability, ergonomics, and intended use. Evaluate its performance through hands-on testing or reputable reviews, focusing on accuracy, recoil management, and ease of maintenance. Compare the pistol’s features—capacity, weight, size, and safety mechanisms—to your current firearm and specific needs, whether for self-defense, competition, or duty. Also, factor in the availability and cost of ammunition and accessories. Ultimately, a pistol is worth purchasing if it offers a tangible improvement in function, comfort, or reliability that justifies the expense.
