High Exposure

I'll get you squared away kid. Call you tomorrow.

I'm only 5'6" ~180 I carry a G27 on my ankle at work daily in a Bootlock holster with no issues. The PM9 rides there in an Alessi holster in off-duty clothes.

^ This is the "A" answer, along with my caveat of "Make every effort to carry the gun you shoot the best, your life may just depend on it" This is also an option of you can't conceal a Glock adequately. I have one that is mostly carried as a BUG but is occasionally pressed into primary carry duty. The capacity is significantly reduced from a G19, but it is a nice little price that does what I need when I can't carry my G23 or G35. Remember, CCW is more than slapping a gun on your hip and walking out the door. It is a system. It requires lifestyle adjustment and often times a wardrobe/style change. It requires attention to detail and an upgrade in situational awareness. It is a commitment that should not be taken lightly or attempted half-heartedly. *Note: this is not directed at anyone, just a point to consider. Especially in this state where CCW is not practiced often or consistently due to prohibitive NJ gun laws.

Admittedly, I am no fan of Sig as a company, (their firearms never really did it for me either) especially since Ron Cohen took the helm - I still can't understand why Sig hired him after he ruined Kimber - but their CS has always been pretty good, even when they have reason not to be. This is why you don't practice WECSOG on firearms that are problematic out of the gate. Request an RA, send it back, and avoid the blame game. If you sold a product, and someone swapped parts then complained to you that it didn't work and sent it back demanding you fix it would you consider the warrantee still in place? How do you troubleshoot a factory gun with non-factory parts? If you send a gun back with non-OEM parts installed whose fault is it really if they charge for repairs or "repair" for free but in actuality do nothing more than return it to factory spec? Oh, and ARs shouldn't require break in periods.

Wait wait wait.... Lemme get this straight.... A piston AR had repeated malfunctions? And you needed an obsolete DI AR to finish your 1 day carbine course? Impossible! Lies and balderdash! I just don't believe it.

That's easy math: Freedom > Money Contact the person that handles the FID stuff first. Don't like what they say then take it to the Chief. If you get no traction there, go to the mayor. Each of these routes cost nothing more than a stamp, phone call, email, or a drive to HQ. Verify they actually called, then ask for their reason and justification. If the answers don't satisfy you, take the next step. There's time for a lawyer after the free ways don't work.

I have no experience with this optic. In fact, I have never ever seen one in the real-world. In my line of work, that's called a clue. With a little searching you can find an Aimpoint PRO for between $300-$350 that is better than this in every way. Why go with an unknown when you can get the top of the line optic for less coin?

Nice! I found these a while ago: Slightly different take in the same idea.

Absolutely. Do you think this guy is as qualified to teach "Gunfighting" as someone like Paul Howe, Pat Rogers, Kyle Lamb, Jeff Gonzales, Dave Harrington, Tom Spooner, Pat MacNamara, or Kyle DeFoor? Someone who was never trained to be a "professional gunfighter" teaching classes on how to be one = Clownshoes.

Fair enough. I'm just very picky about who gets my money. I research my instructors, and their curriculum, and I make sure it fits my specific needs. I also get a little cranky when an instructor steps outside their frame of reference. Not everyone is a gunfighter, not everyone needs to learn from a gunfighter. If you have the time and the money to not be so choosy, good for you. It's never a bad thing to have another good instructor nearby. I'm just skeptical after looking at his website and bio. I've been wrong before, and I know I'll be wrong again. Have fun, and I am eagerly awaiting your AAR.

Got it. Head down, gaze averted and moving on. That's all I found as well.... I figured with all the SF imagery he would have has at least a little operational background. Looks like he is a certificate collector. Looks like he has a bunch of NRA certs, which in my experience don't mean much on its face - That doesn't make anyone with an NRA cert a bad teacher. There are some excellent instructors out there with NRA certs, so please don't take that the wrong way. I'm just stating that a cert (any cert) doesn't legitimize you as in instructor in and of itself. Who/what is SMTC? What is special about their certs? Nothing in that bio makes me want to take a course with them. What makes him worthy of my money to teach gunfighting? Other than the BJJ stuff, I have similar certs. I don't feel qualified to teach professionally and I carry a gun for a living and am the head trainer for a local PD and a county SWAT team in TTPs and gunfighting. Seriously, if this is all it takes, I am getting insurance and hanging my shingle out there.

I have never heard of these guys and I can't find anything on this company. What are the instructors backgrounds? It looks like the owners pedigree is just collecting certs but I admittedly can't find much. Their website is bizzare:

Well done Andy. Congratulations to you and your kids.

I am in no way shape or form happy that this guy was robbed at gunpoint, but.... how do you not see this outcome as a possibility if you adhere to Open Carry as the way to go? How do you carry a gun in the open and stay so obliviously in condition white? A stranger approaches you at 0200 and your Spidey senses don't get all tingly? Also, who OCs a Walther P22? http://www.oregonlive.com/gresham/index.ssf/2014/10/gresham_man_robbed_of_pistol_a.html

^^ this. Or the last. Moving through forest and uneven terrain over long distances, you want as much weight as possible off of your legs - especially thigh holsters. Dude probably just ditched the gun belt and used the double M4 pouch as a field expedient alternative.

Avoid. Bushmaster. BCGs. Buy a Mil-spec bolt. It will cost a bit more but is a better value - once you factor in replacement costs when the BM bolt fails - and will be more reliable.
