    Here is the thing with the red dot. The red dot penalizes you for a poor presentation. If you can’t find the dot on presentation, it’s very likely that the dot is high outside the window. If you tighten your wrist downwards, the dot will reappear. Your presentation has to be consistent each time and if not, you have to “fish” for the dot. The penalty is you can’t shoot right away, if you have to fish for it. Even before the range, you can practice presenting at a target at your house. If upon presentation, it’s not there right on target, you can’t press the trigger. This should be done before you hit the range. Instead of swapping a slide, you can always remove the battery and practice the iron sights. Of course, they have to be suppressor height. If you pay $400 for a slide, that money could have been spent attending a red dot course to get you to proficiency.

At the same time I am OVERLY paranoid with safety to the point to where I sometimes do “sketchy things” (IE looking down the barrel to make ABSOLUTELY sure we’re clear before we pull the trigger since I had to reset the weapon) Thanks for watching

    I’ve got to be honest with you. I have the safe life basket, weave duty belt. It’s honestly the most durable and comfortable belts I have ever bought Don’t give me wrong when you first get it it is completely stiff and almost impossible to bend correctly What I love about the belt is it actually comes with a pretty nice Velcro belt and when you put the belts together it’s so comfortable on your hip while at the same time not squeezing you to death As somebody who has a slimmer build, I have to loosen my belt up a little bit otherwise it rubs my hips raw. Because of this, it allows me to be more comfortable and more secure with safe life. If you haven’t checked their belts out, I definitely recommend it

SLD belts are “ok” - they’re not bad, but not “OMG great” either. They’re a middle ground. It’s not an uncle Mike’s wholesale Walmart/Amazon crap belt, but you won’t see heavy hitters using it either. I use an AWS INC SMU Belt that I belt-keeper’d one of their belt pads to, essentially making a one piece duty belt system. You can find that in my shorts.

    Mike, I always appreciate your honest approach to these debriefs. There are so many EPs coming out of the forest now. As for the female agent, I didn’t know that there was a lot of people criticizing that she could not put her gun in the holster. Most of these people criticizing have never had their client shot. That obviously induces a significant stress factor. Also, the instructors at Gunsite will tell you to look at your holster. When I took a class with Mike Glover, he also told us to look at your holster. But you are right…. when I started off, looking at your holster was taboo, and the instructors expected you to look for more threats with your gun out. Obviously there’s a point of time when there is no more threats and that is when the instructors still encourage you to look for more threats that are not there. I actually USED to teach that!

    Upon doing some research (that I should have down prior to this) I have found that Safariland calls their hood the *SLS*. I always get their two safeties confused. The SLS is the hood The ALS is the “ejection safety” as I personally call it. The ALS is the retention feature that hooks off a weapon’s ejection port Moving forward I will try to keep these two in mind - I nowadays holster in an Alien Gear and have moved on from Safari.

I just got Point Blank armor, custom made, measurements and all - to the nines with PB armor. It’s still being manufactured and I have yet to actually get it in hand, but yes, stick with proven LE brands. Anything under Safariland’s umbrella, or hell, even Randy, Tac11 kit. Randy is at least on the NIJ list - I’ve looked up Tac11 on NIJ in the past, and Tac does indeed show up, unlike MOST of SLD, only ONE *ONE* armor panel, model shows up on NIJ for Crap Life.

    In California, county sheriff departments, usually issue the CCW, but you can CCW in any county in California. Some counties like Riverside, have a written exclusion for private security work! We might have two different ideas on the black wolf app. I may have not researched this enough, but if black wolf is the solo provider in their app, and not necessarily takes the Uber model of business, then they would have a greater chance of operating legitimately. It’s kind of like a patrol unit. You verify the private security company but you do not verify the patrol driver driving through the parking lot.
