This is episode 437 of the Safety Solutions Academy podcast and in today’s episode we will be our  month of content focused on the J-frame revolver. You could think of it as J-frame January if you like.  We have 4 revolver centric podcasts recorded and ready to launch with supporting blog posts and unique video content that is certain to help you learn a thing or two about revolvers.

 

Last week we spoke to Massad Ayoob on revolvers you can listen to that episode by simply heading to safefysolutionsacademy.com/436 and you can stay on top of all the J-frame content by heading to safefysolutionsacademy.com/jframe

 

This week we will take our J-frame content in another direction as we talk with Chuck Haggard of Agile Training and Consulting.

 

Chuck is a career law enforcement officer who retired as a Lt. from the City of Topeka Police Department and resumed his career in LE in a rather unique situation as a LE officer, fire fighter, and air crash rescue at a Kansas airport and it’s surrounding community.

 

I have had the opportunity to train in and observe Chuck as an instructor in multiple courses both at the Rangemaster Tactical Conference and at Paul-e-Palooza. Several of those classes were classes specifically related to effectively shooting small guns.

 

Today we are going to talk about fun, interesting and educational topics such as:

• Sleep deprivation and the problems it can cause in life and in personal safety
• Revolvers and pocket poppers and why they were so popular
• • Back up guns and why the revolver fits so well in that role
  • Colt Cobras and Detective Specials
• Revolvers and their reliability and is it really as good as people think?
• The Advantages of the J-frame when it comes to

• • Concealment
  • Quick draw
• The best defensive ammunition for short barreled revolvers and what parameters you should be looking at when selecting your ammo
• And a ton more.

Welcome to the Safety Solutions Academy podcast! If you are working to sort out the complexities of personal protection, increase the efficiency of your defensive training and demystify the tools you need to keep yourself and those that you love safe then the Safety Solutions Academy podcast is the place of you!

I am your host Paul Carlson and I am so glad have joined me today.  You can contact me by sending comments, questions and topics for future shows to paul@safetysolutionsacademy.com I would love to hear from you!

This is episode 436 of the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast and in today’s episode we will be kicking off an entire month of content that will be focused on the J-Frame revolver. You could think of it as J-Frame January if you like.  We have 4 revolver centric podcasts recorded and ready to launch with supporting blog posts and unique video content that is certain to help you learn a thing or two about revolvers.

As far as I am concerned there is no better way to start off a month on the small wheel guns than by talking to a man that is a legend in the gun industry and is himself an accomplished revolver shooter, Massad Ayoob.

Mas is a frequent guest on the Safety Solutions Academy Podcast and for good reason. He has a very strong background in the legal aspects of self-defense and the use of lethal force as well as in defensive shooting. MAs is the owner of the Massad Ayoob Group and travels the nation teaching defensive shooting, the ins and outs of the legal aspects of the use of lethal force though his flagship course, the MAG-40 which we will be hosting in May of 2018. In addition, Mas is a prolific writer and he has teamed up with Marty Hayes of the firearms Academy of Seattle to offer instructor development courses in the use of deadly force.

Today we are going to talk about fun, interesting and educational topics such as:

• Who should be looking toward the revolver as a self defense tool
• How you can learn to shoot a revolver better through a better grip and trigger press
• How a revolver can help you to learn to get your hits
• Why revolvers are great tool for learning to shoot your Semi-Auto better
• A comparison between the 442 and the 340M&P 
• And a whole lot more.

In episode 432 of the SSA Podcast I talked about Dustin Salomon’s book, Building Shooters with friend and colleague Rob Morse.  Lot’s of folks had a really positive response to the episode, including the author, Dusty.  He reached out and shared some positive thoughts about the episode and was receptive to continuing the conversation and that is exactly what we do in episode 433.

 

Dusty, Rob and I dive into a deep conversation about firearms instruction.  We talk about all kinds of topics including:

• Dustin’s time in the Navy, “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure!”
• What key takeaways instructors should have from this episode
• What key thoughts students should be focused on
• Why is it that Building Shooters has been needed by the firearms training industry?
• A look at the terrain of the commercial side of defensive training.
• A look at the terrain of the human brain and how it guides learning.
• Priming.  What it is and why it is important
• How the brain learns
• Short term memory and how its limits are the limits of learning
• How we can help transfer skills from the short term memory into the long term procedural memory.
• Dustin’s new book, “Mentoring Shooters”
• And a ton more!

432 - The State of Firearms Instruction

In this episode of the SSA Podcast:

I chat with Rob Morse of slowfacts.wordpress.org a collection of blog posts that I would call the opposite of knee-jerk reactions and Self Defense Gun Stories Podcast at selfdefensegunstories.com where you take a look at defensive gun uses and analyze them for lessons that can be learned.  Rob is also a member of the Polite Society Podcast where he and the rest of Paul Lathrup’s crew discuss a wide variety of firearms related topics.

 

On today’s episode we talk about:

• what it is that makes Rob tick
• Rob’s background in defensive gun training and self-defense
• what got Rob started thinking about the effectiveness of defensive firearms training
• the book, Building Shooters.  What it is, why it is interesting and who it might be for
• what Building Shooters made Rob and I start thinking about related to defensive training.
• who is it that tends to benefit most from a two day training course
• what we think that instructors can do to overcome some of the challenges that arise from current training models and from models that we may shift toward
• why taking notes on the range is so important
• much more!

One of the ways that I work to stay sharp as an instructor and as a students of self-defense is to host other instructors.  This past weekend, I hosted David Maglio of Concealed Carry Associates for a MAG-30 course.  Way back when I took a MTG "Shoot till you puke" course and the high round count weekend was one of the ways I drove past a plateau in my shooting.  I shot faster with more precision after than weekend.

In order to offer that same opportunity to students of SSA I talked with David Maglio and we set up a date for him to teach his MAG-30 at Southington Hunt Club.

This is our wrap up of that course.

In this episode of the SSA Podcast:

I chat with David Maglio on our ride to the airport after wrapping up a MAG-30 Course in NE Ohio. We discuss topics like:

 

• What the course progression is inside the Massad Ayoob Group
• What prompted David to develop the MAG-30
• What struggles David typically sees when students are in the midst of a MAG-30 and what growth they experience as a result
• The square range, tradition and history vs. reality
• Surviving the violent encounter vs. surviving the legal aftermath
• Sights and how they can help or hinder
• And much more!

Become a Patron to access this exclusive Patron Content:

In today’s Exclusive Patron only content David and I actually set the date for next years MAG-30and then dive deeper into the trigger press and the problems that history and tradition can cause for us as instructors and students of self defense.
