Would you call that a magnut special Teddy.lol. Good job, i prefer to pull hair and bite though, hee hee hee.

can anybody remember what negative comments louis had to say about TT gunleather?

 

[aroundlsu]

I don't remember any negative comments about TT. The fact that his holster was collapsing and the Sparks were working fine is enough I think.

If any of you guys are still questioning the benefit of professional training, I am literally sending in my deposit tomorrow for his carbine class in October. And it is a 13 hour drive. I like Louis, he seems to like me, I see no reason to blow money elsewhere.

No. The point was that those of us with extra meat around the loins (fat hanging over the belt, "muffin top," love handles, whatever) really are getting screwed up by having sweat guards that are not reinforced. It goes double for non-reinforced mouths but if the mouth is reinforced but your love handles are pushing the sweat flap over the mouth it makes it harder to get to.

That was a ****ing blast guys. Good meeting all of you.

For anyone wondering, the class was GREAT. Was it worth $500? I would pay $1000 in a heartbeat. I can honestly personally say, if I ever have the misfortune of having to defend myself with a firearm, that $500 probably will save my life. If nothing else, it increased my odds greatly.

Awerbuck is one of the last true gritty trainers out there. He's been there. He's done that. He's seen it all. He doesn't teach things hypothetically or ideally. If he tells you to do or not do something, it's because he's seen it work or seen it fail with disastrous results.

Anyone who couldn't make the class, I highly recommend spending the $30 and buy his book Tactical Reality. You can basically learn everything we did, albeit in words as opposed to hands on.

It was in the range bag. It, and my Sparks 55BN, are not suitable for drawing my "alternate weapon" from its hiding place. The carry holster I have- for a G19- that is (TT IWB) was being used by another student whom I loaned my extra G19 to. He came with a 1911, had problems (imagine that). I loaned him the pistol, holster , mag pouch, magazines, and my spare 9mm ammunition. He paid for that with a .45 ammo exchange.

The Fobus was all I had left. And truth be told, it is a surprisingly efficient holster.

.

I saw an opening and couldn't resist. FWIW, I use the Fobus with my own 17 from time to time, when I don't want to mess up a nicer holster or thread one onto the belt.

What 1911 had problems, and how so? The 5" guns seem to run OK unscrewed with, assuming the extractor has good tension (and with MIM internals, that's usually not the case). A 4 1/4" Commander is about as short as I'd trust; any shorter is asking for problems.

Nothing was "wrong" with the gun that I remember, he just couldn't shoot it that well because of the pissy factory sights.

that and his big complaint was that he wanted "more bullets."

imagine that.

proper technique involves bitching at your partner over rope and getting tangled up in it trying to knock the f*** out of eachother in the middle of attempting a covert break in.

 

[jmcrawf1]

where be the rest of the pics?

I agree - great class, good times. Thanks to teddy for doing all the review type work!

And the break down of louis's beltline

 

[SpeedRacer]

Thanks to teddy for doing all the review type work!

Word! I know I couldn't have done all that AND learned anything at the same time. I think Teddy's brain works faster than most.

 

[aroundlsu]

Geez fellas. I have been trying to recover from the mental exhaustion. I have a crawfish boil today and star trek movie tonight so I probably won't post more pictures until tomorrow late afternoon.

Paul when you post your video post the whole thing. I let the camera roll long because I think his comments are the best part.

 

[rockmup]

I want to take one too! I need to learn how to throw a hatchet while backflipping and shoot while dangling from a bungee cord.

You don't need a Hatchet if you have a LaRue mount ! They can chop down trees by themselves.


Sure would have liked to have made this though. thanks for the updates

 

[smith625]

Nice avatar Todd, i about pissed myself. sorry for any drift.

 

[rockmup]

And the only gun he really slammed on was the "$5000 pimp special" 1911s. He named names, and confirmed something I'd heard but wasn't sure about.

.

So share it please. It wouldn't be that for the most part, parts is parts would it ?

 

[rockmup]

Well, good thing I didn't ask for any names then.

Thanks

I thought his 1911 problem was that it didn't hold enough ammo. It seemed to be running OK and accurate enough for what we were doing. Was he having other problems?

Please explain, how is not knowing how to operate a firearm the firearms fault?
missing the safety! malf #1 press checking to far malf #2 not hitting very well #3( i guess its the sh!tty trigger those 1911's have) all problems with the student, not the pistol
