      which cleaning kit doesn't suck?

      What on earth are you doing to break your cleaning rods? I really like the Otis kits. The only problem is if you ever get a squib, you're going to need an actual rod to push it out.

      Girlfriend wants to carry...?

      I don’t agree with this advice. Semi autos tend to have less recoil, and are “softer” to shoot because the reciprocating mass of the slide used up some energy from the recoil. .38 revolvers tend to have a very sharp recoil impulse. Stick with your original plan, or consider a .22 conversion kit...

      Magnetic Gun Mount

      Nope. It's a space behind a built-in bookcase that is on one side of an opening into our kitchen. We hide a vacuum cleaner, broom, mop, and other things back there. The space is accessed by opening a panel in the wall which is latched with a spring loaded magnet. The panel is actually the box...

      First Aid / GSW Kits

      If you really want minimalist, you can do a lot with a bandanna and a pen.

      Hard to tell from the photo, but this is taken shooting almost straight up in a crawl space/air duct chase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Magnetic Gun Mount

      I have a few similar mounts around the house. You can find similar magnets on Amazon. They work great, and I haven't noticed any problems with magnetization of my G19 or G17s. My kids are not an issue as they are all shooters who've had safety drilled into them since age 4. Sent from my...

      I have $400

      If you're still looking to learn how to use your BOK, I can take you through most of the Suarez Trauma Medicine for Concealed Carry class in an afternoon. If you need a certificate, take Blaster's advice and take the Dark Angel medical course.

      Larry Vickers bans appendix carry

      Sounds like Vickers is dumbing down his training to teach to the lowest common denominator instead of raising the level of skill of his students. I guess we at Suarez International don't know anything about appendix carry, or how it works when training under pressure in FoF. Col Cooper must not...

      suarez training AAR - 5/13-14

      I got the RM06 (adjustable brightness, 3.25 MOA dot). Yes, I would get it again, but an argument can be made for the RM04 (fiber optic 7 MOA) and the RM01 (3.25 MOA, no adjustments). I personally like the smaller dots. I find them just as easy to pick up quickly, and the smaller dot does not...

      Ooops, sorry. Didn't even bother to look to see where you were before offering. The offer still stands, though.

      suarez training AAR - 5/13-14

      As an old fart who has started to need readers in order to focus on anything with small print, or anything closer to my face than a certain distance, I can say that a red dot sight on your slide helps immensely! ETA: If you guys would like to decide for your selves whether it is useful or...

      suarez training AAR - 5/13-14

      It's very humbling to hear someone speak well of you. Thanks for the kind words, guys. I really try to stress to people that training with what you have is so much more important than getting the next greatest gun you just have to have. I know training classes are expensive in terms of money...

      Has the spike in crime in Baltimore convinced you to train more?

      Makes ya think, don't it? Make that 32.
