    I do know that picture on the Groupon ad with the guy sporting the half assed IWB in his pants with no belt and too high up is pretty hurt-ing.

    I didn't look twice at the photo, I'm guessing it's stock because of how amateurish it is.

    Here's a pic from their actual website; I don't know these guys, but this image tells a much better story:

    Yes, I see he's not wearing his hearing protection, but he's indexing the mag properly and the grip looks good on the gun.

    I now Matt personally (the instructor in the pic) and this was an indoor demonstration of mag swap, so no hearing protection needed.

    Matt is one of my Krav instructors as well as a very good firearms instructor.

    Mention my name and they will be happy to charge you double. <grin>

    The last requirement on the gear list is a protective cup? I'm out. lol

    Only reason you'd need a cup would be if you were taking the self defense training (Krav Maga). 'Cause you know, anytime you can kick someone in the nutsack, you should! "No groin, no Krav Maga"... :D

    And unfortunately that influences people's decisions.

    Unfortunate indeed. I'll tell you what, it's hard to market to the gen pop in this industry. Groupon ad builders have no idea what they are looking at and they spend about 3mins constructing your ad especially if you are a small time client. They won't take the time to sift through merchant's submitted photos so they just toss in a stock image. :mad54:

    We do Groupon deals and I can choose any photo that I want.

    Must be nice.
    In our deal there was express language that we would not be able to choose the photo.
    I see that you are in VA. It may be that Groupon wanted to make sure the photo is as "neutral" as possible the market being in MD...?
