High Exposure

No live weapons should have been allowed anywhere near the training area. I wasn’t there, so I won’t speculate on what happened but someone dropped the ball on the safety check list somewhere big time. If this was one of the classes I was running, this guy would have had to have gotten past multiple checkpoints in multiple layers of safety areas that were each staffed with safety personnel whose sole job is to treat you like there was a million dollar bounty for every gun and bullet they find.

Looks like they pulled their social media accounts down as well - at least IG.

This is not good. Trainee was shot in the neck during shoothouse force-on-force exercise. Having trained pretty extensively in force on force and having instructed others in force on force, I can’t imagine this happening. There should be so many checks and re-checks prior to going “live”. Someone really dropped the ball here.

Stroud Area Regional officers were called at 1:58 p.m. for the report of a wounded man at Threat Assessment & Tactical Solutions Group, 103 Kraemer Ave. in Stroudsburg, police Chef Jennifer Lyon said in a news release. Rockwell Tactical Group LLC, out of Gettysburg, was running the training drill there, police said. Rockwell offers a variety of training to teach people to protect themselves and their families, according to its website. Threat Assessment Tactical Solutions features a 3,500-square foot “shoothouse,”which is available to be rented, according to its website, for parties and more serious endeavors. The complex features nearly 20 rooms, including residential and office spaces as well as a simulated garage for training. Rockwell does live-fire training but does not provide weapons or ammunition, according to its website. The guns at the Stroudsburg training facility are converted to fire paint-marking rounds, its website says. The victim was shot by a live round, Lyon said. The victim was taken by ambulance to Stroudsburg Area High School and flown out, Lyon said. No one else was hurt, she said. The chief said she couldn’t provide a medical condition for the wounded man. Police on Monday were not immediately releasing the victim’s name or that of anyone else involved, Lyon said. It is an isolated incident that appears to be an accident, but the investigation was continuing, Lyon said. The community is not at risk, she added. Borough police were assisted by the Pennsylvania State Police Forensic Services Unit, Suburban EMS, St. Luke’s EMS and the borough fire department, Lyon said.

What the fuck is Taylor Ham?

That’s similar to what Lara Croft has on her USPs in Tomb Raider from 2001.

Point of order: There is no “Taylor Ham Pork Roll”. The brand is just “Taylor”. That’s it.

I can’t wait to get mine back!!!!!

Where are the pics man?!?!

This is the first year since 9/11/01 that no student in our public school is old enough to have been alive on the day. Never forget.

So looks like they changed it to 30% off now. The 40% code no longer works. New code is SAFSALE30.

That photo is a fake. That package never existed. It is poorly photoshopped balderdash.

This. This is what it comes down to. Ham is already a thing. It exists. Everyone knows what it is. It is codified and defined and had been for years prior to John Taylor’s invention. It is a particular cut of meat from a specific portion of a pig - and if you are gullible enough to believe that all the meat in Pork Roll comes from the upper portion of a pigs rear legs I can guarantee that you are sorely mistaken. Think about this: If you walked into a Deli and ordered a ham sandwich and received Pork Roll you’d probably not be happy, right? Why? Because Pork Roll is no kind of Ham. If I called a roasted carrot a T-bone steak and sold it as such, I would rightly be told I can’t call it that and would have to change the name. Additionally, it was never Taylor Ham, it was Taylor’s PREPARED Ham, so if you “original name” folks want to stand by that shaky argument, at least get it right. I will concede Taylor Pork Roll as an acceptable name if that’s your preferred brand.

Try a new BCG from a rifle you know works and put the new BCG in a rifle that you know works.

Yeah man. I got to mess with the mock up yesterday. It’s pretty freaking cool! I’m very excited for this.

I’ll second Mark and L&M. Great work.

Can’t go wrong!

Lol! I’m a helper! If it’s any consolation, that coupon code just cost me ~ $160 in holsters as well. If I can interject, I recommend the following for your belt set up: • ALS holster for your specific pistol in a mid or low ride. If going with a low ride - pick up a leg strap: part # 3004-1. Attach it between the QLS plate and the UBL. It helps reduce “flop” in the system during the drawstroke that can be created due to the extra leverage of having the holster at the bottom of a longer UBL. • QLS mounting system The QLS is clutch for these setups. If in the future you want to carry a different pistol, you can get the holster and a QLS fork and swap holster bodies without re-threading your belt through the house setup. It also adds just the right amount of standoff from the belt to smooth out your draw. The low ride with mag strap and QLS system is my go-to favorite if I don’t have to drive anywhere. I wear that setup for competitions and when I was assigned to a Tac-team. My daily duty carry is the mid-ride with QLS. The low ride is not conducive to driving comfortably, so I prefer the mid-ride for normal duties.

I took advantage of that sale as well - got in on Monday. I ordered the EDC package, nitride, and RMR cut. Cost waaaaay less than it should have. Mailing my slide out tomorrow morning. Can’t wait to get it back. Snagged a Holosun 407C for $189 from Brownells to go on it. Life is good.

Big sale at Safariland for the month of September if you are thinking new holster:

Damn straight!

Sweet. Just bought a RMR cut and EDC package for a G19 I had in the safe. Thanks for the heads up David, and for the endorsement Blksheep.

To be fair, my 20” has the original Colt pencil barrel bs the Govt profile barrel, or even heavy barrel, on some of my carbines.

That’s too funny. I learned the AR pattern rifle on M4 (14.5”) and shorter (R0933 Commando 11.5”) variants. I built an M16A1 clone a couple of years ago and can’t get over how light it is compared to my work guns.

Thanks bro! I figured with all of the money and time it cost me to figure this out, I may as well share it and maybe save someone else the same aggravation...

Photos regarding a Paddle holster on a UBL: Both holsters are for a Glock 34 with a light and the holster bodies themselves are the same length. Here you can see how much lower The attachment points on a UBL holster (on the left) is when compared to a holster for a paddle or belt slide attachment (on the right). Here is a mid ride UBL next to a paddle attached to a belt. When you add the holsters to the attachment point they were designed to go with: You can see how the holsters sit pretty close to the same ride height. If you switch it up and put the holsters on the belt attachment points they were not meant for: You can see you run into some placement issues - • A UBL holster in a paddle sits way too high to be usable or comfortable. • A paddle holster in a UBL sits way too low to be usable or comfortable. It also adds a lot of torque to the system during the draw stroke causing binding and dragging issues. Hope this helps.
