Make Ready with Matt Jacques

Panteao Productions introduces the first in a series of Make Ready videos from Matt Jacques.

When you make the decision to carry a firearm for self-defense it’s a good idea to have a solid foundation in the fundamentals. In this video Matt Jacques walks you through all the fundamentals of everyday carry in a step by step approach. Matt is a retired police officer and a Marine Corps veteran. He served with two Virginia law enforcement agencies as well as a Special Deputy of the US Marshal Capital Area Fugitive Task Force for the Washington DC area. Today Matt trains both law enforcement personnel and civilians under his company, Victory First.

In this video, Matt reviews the different handgun options and ancillary equipment, holsters and belts, carry positions, clearing a cover garment, cover garment modifications, the grip, draw, and presentation, loads and reloads, dealing with multiple targets, drills you should practice, and more.

The video will be available on DVD and online streaming by March 1st.

Private Bloggins Asks, “What Color is Your Rack?”

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013

A couple of weeks ago we wrote about the TRACE Systems Green Kit from Canada’s CTOMS. We were impressed that someone had produced a great rack setup for military mountaineers but some readers complained about the tactical color of the gear.

On CTOMS’ Private Bloggins site, they addressed some of the issues raised on SSD in a post entitled, “What Color is Your Rack?” What we love about their piece is that they went out and demonstrated the reason they developed the green kit in the first place by sharing photos of climbers with commercial climbing gear. It’s definitely worth a read whether you are a military mountaineer or just interested in camouflage.
