@charles hodgdon Thank you sir, that's my entire mission. I'm not always 100% correct on everything, but I strive to be, which is why I continue to research and learn.
Just found your channel. Sometimes YT gets it right with suggested videos. Subscribed (and I subscribe to less than 10 channels, total. Not that that means anything 😂)
Wondering what your thoughts are on placement of firearms in the vehicle? It seems on the hip in holster would be hard to get at with a seat belt on in an emergency situation. I heard Active Self Protection knock the gun magnet set up, but they didn't say the reason why. Glove box seems problematic for traffic stops when you have to get out your vehicle registration. The between the seat console doesn't seem practical either. Also, I'm guessing it's not good practice to leave it unattended in vehicle due to "smash and grabs" vehicle break-ins?
@henryfclarkakahankmcnamee7249 Personally, I believe the best place for a gun in a car is in the holster on your hip. I'm sure it can present a challenge for some, but I spent 25.5 years driving that way. That's not saying it's right for everyone, tho. Guns in the glove box, console, or magnet commonly becomes dislodged during an intense car accident and can wind up who knows where. After seeing this personally, I just keep mine in my hip holster. Thanks for watching, sir 👍
Any opinion on the copper flutted Lehigh "Xtreme Defense" rounds? Alot of people think they're gimmicks. From a simple physics standpoint, though, if you are getting less penetration then standard FMJ's then that energy has to be going somewhere and doing something. I'm also not sure I like the idea of being "barrier blind." Being unaffected by clothing is good but drywall and car doors isn't really something I want from a self defense perspective.
@Syrin123 I haven't looked at the Lehigh rounds close enough to make a fair assessment, but I will say that bullet penetration is key in defensive shooting. Most people focus only on expansion, which is only a bonus, not a requirement. Much of that kinetic energy is absorbed and transferred throughout the body if the bullet remains in the target. "Barrier blind" bullets are designed and intended for LEO, not necessarily for private civilians, but they are not limited to LEO. I use bonded bullet ammo only because I don't want core/jacket separation, which can limit penetration.
You should check them out. They're promoted by Wilson Combat now since they bought them out. These rounds don't rely on expansion, just the way the solid copper bullets are cut. The flutes in them create drag in fluid that has been shown to make a larger wound channel in gel. Not as large has fully expanded JHP but I think the consistency from front to back make up for it. The claim is it works better in living tissue but I'm skeptical of that. They retain their shape even in hard barriers so they aren't much effected by thin barriers and you don't have to worry about clothing clogging them up, or expanding too quickly and losing penetration. If I was a LEO I think these would be ideal.
Hey I love your videos you speak the truth and inspire me. you should crear a defensive class I will totally attend your class I will fly across the country just to attend your class if you started one theirs not many people who speak the truth and have your knowledge (I’m from california)
@Evodio Valdovinos Thank you so much for the kind remarks, my friend. I trained police officers for many years before I retired in 2012, and I loved doing it. Unfortunately, I am now physically disabled and unable to train or even demonstrate many techniques. My tabletop videos are just about all I am able to do now, and I do them for fellow enthusiasts such as yourself. Thanks for watching, brother 👌
@ralphgastelumiv874 From a residential standpoint, I don't really recommend the homeowner to do this. If I thot a burglar was on my property or in my residence, I personally would stay in my room, gun in hand, and call 911. Let the COPS clear your house. There are many reasons for this tactic. Of course, alot depends on the circumstances.
Very informative. I’ve learned a lot from your channel.

Good points all round. I don't think I've ever noticed firing pin drag on fired primers. Light primer strikes are the primary bane of my shooting.

I have a question. How do you clear a room? Can you do a video on this?
