Cruel Hand Luke

I've shot a fair amount of CCI Gold Dot .357Sig in G31 and G33 and never had any issues. I carried that for a couple of years and do not remember ever having any type malfunction. Not saying it CAN'T happen, I'm saying in my Gen3 31 and Gen2.5 G33 it has not happened.

These are coming up THIS WEEKEND !!!!!!

That guy almost entered the after-life....

Topics include strategy for safety/security team set up and management, rings of security, help those who need to be helped and stop those who need to be stopped, verbal judo, empty hand techniques, empty hands vs knives, gun disarms, shooting skills appropriate to the environment ,safely moving with a loaded gun around other people, basic trauma care, dealing with police response , dealing with the aftermath. This class is a collaborative event taught by Randy Harris of Harris Combative, and Ken Alexandrow and Joe Gilbert of AGAPE TACTICAL . It is important to us for your team to get this knowledge and training . We are offering this two day seminar at the super special price of $375 . This class is NOT a basic gun handling and safety class. This is a study in advanced application of basic shooting skills in a church environment. Prospective students should already be able to hit a 8.5"x11 target 5 times in 5 seconds from the ready at 5 yards when they arrive. The hand to hand portion of the class will be somewhat physical but not physically taxing and the skills are easy to learn and retain so you do not need to have previous martial arts experience. Required Equipment: Note taking materials. Reliable Pistol and at least 3 magazines, holster that fits the pistol and the belt you are wearing, (for safety reasons no Serpa holsters unless that is your LE duty holster) and magazine pouch . 250 Rounds of FMJ practice ammo . Clothing appropriate for weather conditions. Eye and Ear Protection. Snacks and plenty of liquids. Lunch Break will be 30 minutes both days so bring a lunch to maximize training time. The instructors are all presenters/sponsors from the Magen 2020 and 2022 Church Security Seminars. Ken Alexandrow is the owner and chief instructor for Agape Tactical and a member of his church's security team . Joe Gilbert was the Director of Church Security for his church and Randy Harris is a founding member of the safety/security team at his church. All of these instructors have performed the duties and know what it takes to keep a house of worship safe.

Just a couple of weeks to go!

This one is coming up in a couple of weeks !! This one is the same day as the Backup Gun Match at Windrock. The match normally runs from about 9AM to about 11:30AM or so. Then the class will start at 12:30 after lunch . We normally roll about a mile up the road to the little burger shack for lunch. Many of you carry subcompact pistols as your EDC but other than just standing and shooting targets how much to you actually train with them? This class (and the match) gives you an inexpensive opportunity to get out and shoot some drills and get structured practice with those guns in a training environment administered by someone who knows something about running small guns- the 2022 TN State IDPA Champion in the Backup Gun Division. Hope to see you at Windrock!

On Sunday July 17 2022 I (along with my assistant instructor at Harris Combative Strategies AJ Holst and Al Swymer ) attended John Hearne’s (Two Pillars Training- https://www.facebook.com/TwoPillarsTraining/) Cognitive Pistol with Tactical Anatomy class at Royal Range in Nashville TN. This is the shooting part of John’s Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why” class. In that class was offered on Saturday but AJ and AL and I had all done that one back in February when John and I teamed up to teach a combo class called “Saving Your Life with a Pistol, What Matters and What Doesn’t “ in Dayton TN where he did the 8 hour “Who wins” lecture and I covered the shooting (and low light shooting) portions of that class. So we were just there for Sunday this time. This is not a “teaching you to shoot better” class. It is a teaching you where to shoot and how to think with a gun in your hand (or in your holster). Everyone can easily find classes to teach them how to shoot but not everyone teaches how to make better decisions under stress or cognitive load. That is what this one is all about. This is not going to be an exhaustive review, but we essentially covered classroom material on “Tactical Anatomy” which is what shot placement tends to get best results in making people stop what they are doing (as much as that can be done with a pistol) and John provided some videos of why what you have been conditioned to think about the effectiveness of certain firearms through TV and movies is not how they work for real. Essentially pistols are pathetic little pop guns that require correct bullet placement (and often several of them) to FORCE someone to stop. Half (or more) of the time when people stop what they are doing when shot with a pistol it is because they simply CHOOSE to stop. The bullet did not stop them. That is why we sometimes see dedicated opponents fighting on after being shot numerous times. So it is best to plan for the worst and pray for the best case. On the range we shot a few “ pulse check” drills so John could get a feel for the shooting ability of the class. This was a high achieving class with several people I either know personally or by reputation or have been in class with before. Some of these were Aqil Qadir of Rangemaster and Citizens Safety Academy and Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner . Not sure who else wants to be named so I’ll stick to just those guys and my crew. Because of the high level of gun handling and accuracy shown by the whole group John was able to push the curriculum a little faster than normal. We did numerous drills that all started with a visual cue instead of an audio cue. That is important as you are generally LOOKING for someone’s actions to cause you to draw not listening for an audio cue like a shot timer. John employed turning targets and a light system (with a roving light bearer) so you would have to scan for visual info on when and how many rounds to shoot. In the Anatomy department we used 3D targets to see what track bullets take from different angles. John used metal rods to show the wound tracks and angles from entrance wound to exit on the TacMan targets. He also included an anatomical overlay on the back and a “spine” One of the pics I have included shows 9 holes (3 groups of 3 ) that I shot from different angles to the target and all 9 perforated the “spine”. If you are to one side or the other of the target you will need to aim differently than if you are facing it straight on. At those angles aiming at the sternum would have simply cut through the other pectoral muscle but aiming at the close side pec punched through heart lungs and spine. We also did a block on safely moving around others with a gun in hand and did a man vs man shoot on steel with the go signal being the appropriate colored light. We finished up with a run on the Farnam spinner target which is harder to spin than it looks.....at least my reload was fast... All in all it was a great presentation from a good friend of mine and an opportunity to shoot drills that you cannot get just anywhere and was held at a world class facility. If you are at the level where you are looking for a class that teaches you how to think with a gun and where to shoot for best results and then testing those skills then catch John’s class when he comes to your area. And just in case you were wondering I get no monetary consideration for this review and in fact I paid to attend the class.

This one is coming up THIS SATURDAY !!!

This one is coming up in a couple of weeks!!!!

I highly recommend this class (and anything John offers) . In fact , AJ and I will be in attendance as students at this one. John and I have known each other for almost 20 years and taken numerous classes together and taught classes together. I was looking to host this class in my area but we were unable to come up with a date for this year so instead I'm just going to pay to go to this one. If you can make this one you should.
