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.

Someone coughed up this old advertisement for a Colt Sporter but I’m not sure how old it actually is. Anyone else remember the offset pivot pins?

There’s Still Time to Pre-Register for GLOCK ID

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013

Just as SHOT Show opened, GLOCK launched pre-registration for their Online Community, GLOCK ID. Their initial goal was 10,000 members and having already exceeded that number, they’ve extended this pre-registration offer to 20,000.

“GLOCK ID pre-registration popularity has shown our fans are eager for more dialogue with each other and with GLOCK,” explained Josh Dorsey, GLOCK Vice President. “Expanding the pool of pre-registrants to 20,000 is an exciting step in the path to the launch date in just a few short weeks. Those who have pre-registered will have exclusive early access to the community, before it’s opened to the general public at a later date.”

GLOCK ID offers members several key components:

a virtual gun safe to keep track of range time, cleaning dates and more;
training lessons;
a community Q&A for peer discussion;
an engaging process for earning points and ‘patches’ to rank up and earn GLOCK rewards.

GLOCK ID members have the opportunity to contribute and participate with other GLOCK enthusiasts while earning points, which ultimately lead to GLOCK rewards that can only be earned by interacting with GLOCK ID and its members.

The ranks and rewards structure encourages competition and engagement. By participating in various activities (watching a training video, answering fellow members’ questions, logging time at the range, etc.), members of GLOCK ID can earn patches. Those patches translate into points, which then designate a member’s rank within the community. Finally, those rank levels determine tangible rewards from GLOCK.
