New Policy – Posts on Firearms Training Professionals

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

I’ve decided to make a change on what is acceptable when posting comments regarding those in the firearms training business. I’ve let things slide for too long.

Character assassination is unacceptable behavior. If this is your MO, your post will be deleted. I don’t care who you are or, who you are talking about. Not everyone gets along. That’s life. If you don’t get along with somebody, do it somewhere else. There’s no quibbling about this either.

However, you may discuss the merits of the content as well as the quality of instruction if you have first hand knowledge. For example, you took and class from a trainer and it was great, feel free to share your experience, as well as why. Likewise, if you felt like you didn’t receive your money’s worth, or you see a technique or advice that you don’t agree with, please share and once again, put it in perspective. A simple, “I hate him” or “He sucks” will get your post deleted.

You can thank a few who checked professionalism at the door while visiting SSD for this policy clarification.

Any questions?

Commenting

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

I am starting to wonder whether some of the commenters actually think about what they are posting or if the is some sort of compulsion at work. There have been some real humdingers lately. I’m not just talking about trashing a competing brand, I’m talking flat out dumb statements. Pig looking at a wristwatch stuff.

I have a feeling that there are norms at work here. What I might find appallingly stupid, another might consider ok to ‘say aloud.’ With the age of Twitter and Facebook, many feel that they can just post whatever silly thought crosses their mind, combine that with the relative anonymity that SSD offers and voila; recipe for stupidity.

What do you guys think?

See, the Tactical Tailor SBR Bag Really Isn’t That Big

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

When I first wrote about the Tactcal Tailor SBR Bag, readers commented that it looked HUGE, so I asked KitUp!’s Dave Reeder to model it.

See, it’s not so big after all.

KAC – URX 4 Installation & History of the Modular Rail

Friday, May 17th, 2013

The URX 4 offers a full length continuous top rail and is a one-piece free float design, incorporating the open source Keymod attachment system as well as an integrated barrel nut.

The section of the original rail is also very cool for folks who’ve never seen it.

SOFIC – Tactical Tailor Low Profile Kit

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

This yet unnamed low profile armor carrier system from Tactical Tailor was designed to accommodate the Velocity Systems steel plates.

A customer driven design, it will accept the Mayflower chest rig and comes with these new style ammunition pouches. The styling is completely new for TT and I like it. These Velcro backed pouches are also compatible with the Short Barreled Rifle Bag.

The carrier is available now and the pouches will be available in about 4-6 weeks.
