Magpul Dynamics Announces Partnership with Magtech Ammunition

Saturday, February 23rd, 2013

We are very pleased to learn that Magpul Dynamics is partnering with Magtech Ammunition to supply ammo for their students. This is fantastic news! Here is their release:

At Magpul Dynamics, we understand the importance of quality firearms and tactical training, and it is our mission to provide that to the military, law enforcement community, and responsible, law-abiding Citizens. It is no secret to gun owners that the price of ammunition has skyrocketed recently, in addition to a steady increase over the past few years. Also, due to the high demand for ammunition currently, the available supply to an individual wishing to purchase training ammunition at a reasonable price is nonexistent.

Magpul Dynamics is pleased to announce a partnership with Magtech Ammunition to provide students with accurate, reliable, and consistent factory ammunition. This program will allow students to purchase ammunition to meet the course requirements for our program directly from Magpul Dynamics, and ensure fair pricing and availability for our customers. We are extremely appreciative of Magtech for providing us this opportunity to serve our students better, and helping us to meet their training needs.

Pricing and purchasing details for registered students will be released shortly, with initial availability of 7.62×51, 5.56×45, .45ACP, .40 SW, and 9×19 ammunition to meet the needs of the individual shooter. At this time, ammunition will only be made available to registered Magpul Dynamics students, up to the quantity needed to attend class. There are no current plans to sell ammunition outside of the training needs of our students, and students who pay for ammunition and subsequently cancel class attendance will receive a refund, and will not have the option of taking delivery of the ammunition.

Gunfighter Moment – Pat McNamara

Saturday, February 16th, 2013

Perform the appropriate amount of correct repetitions on the range. The best performers on the globe, regardless of the skill, practice perfectly and if necessary, in slow motion to perfect their craft. There are certain aspects of gun handling and gun fighting that have to be performed at a subconscious level. We human beings are not multi-taskers. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we cannot perform two tasks at the same time at a conscious level. We can however, task switch, task stack or perform tasks subconsciously. We should be accessing the subconscious’ data bank during weapon’s manipulation, to include safety manipulation, magazine changes, and the fundamentals. We can therefore, at a conscious level, maintain situational awareness, forecast, predict, and plan

Patrick McNamara
SGM, US Army (Ret)


Patrick McNamara spent twenty-two years in the United States Army in a myriad of special operations units. When he worked in the premier special missions unit, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results and tactical effectiveness. McNamara has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship, from varsity level soldiers, and police officers who work the streets to civilians with little to no time behind the trigger.

His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. Utilizing his years of experience, McNamara developed a training methodology that is safe, effective and combat relevant and encourages a continuous thought process. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times and choose targets that force accountability, as well as provides courses covering several categories, including individual, collective, on line and standards.

While serving as his Unit’s Marksmanship NCO, he developed his own marksmanship club with NRA, CMP, and USPSA affiliations. Mac ran monthly IPSC matches and ran semi annual military marksmanship championships to encourage marksmanship fundamentals and competitiveness throughout the Army.

He retired from the Army’s premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major and is the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting).
