Ep. 179 – Massad Ayoob and MAG 40 | Massad Ayoob is my guest on this episode. I'm releasing this early because I have a lot of material from MAG 40 and another trainer to put out over the next couple weeks. I recently attended his MAG 40 class in Arkansas. It was awesome! I interviewed him about concealed carry for the hearing impaired, whether CCW'ers have a duty to protect others and female agressors. Also, I interviewed some fellow students from the course and Jon Hodway, one of the instructors. This episode starts with a voice mail from a listener regarding how to choose a concealed carry firearm.

Ep. 177 – Subcompacts | Subcompact guns are extremely popular for concealed carry. So this episode is about the advantages and disadvantages of small semi automatics, revolvers and other guns called subcompact guns. We analyzed Kahr PM9, Glock 26 and J frame revolvers and small .380 autos. Jon Payne also joins me for an interview about subcompact handguns. Thanks for downloading and listening.

Ep. 175 – Risk vs. Reward | I got together with Ben Branam to discuss the risks and rewards of concealed carry. We discussed concealed carry methods, range practice, safety rules, real life self defense gunfights and more.

Ep. 174 – Carry what you can get away with. | Everyone's concealed carry situation is different. So I decided to talk about carrying whatever gun you can get away with. This episode is primarily inspired by a thread on the GRRN forum, in my subforum. What gun is enough gun? What can you carry in your particular situation? There are advantages and disadvantages to every gun and every gun is a compromise of some sort. Do you need more than one gun? Also, I received some EXCELLENT voice mails regarding the aftermath of a self defense shooting, campus concealed carry, and slide stop levers, so I answer those as well.

Ep. 173 – Bob and Ben on IDPA classifier, vehicle carry and listener voice mails. | This episode, Ben and Bob discuss their experience at an IDPA classifier and further discuss the subject of vehicle carry.

Ep. 172 – Vehicle Carry | Do you carry a gun in your vehicle? In some states it's legal, yet laws differ from state to state. In some states it's not legal. But for those of you who can carry a gun in your vehicle, you'll find this podcast a collection of ideas you may want to try. Keep in mind, this is what works for me. Depending on what kind of vehicle you drive makes a huge difference. But there are definitely some vehicle carry methods I don't like, so I talk about those as well. Also, this podcast includes an excellent voice mail from a listener in Sanford, Florida. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast | 4/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep. 171 – College concealed carry | A recent shooting at a college in California has sparked more controversy about whether students at universities should be able to carry concealed handguns for self defense. I think they should be allowed to. So this episode is based on an excellent article in Guns and Ammo magazine about the subject of concealed carry on campus. I will of course provide a link to that article on the GRRN forum. The first half of this episode is about listener voice mails on open carry, Kahr pistols, IDPA and Ben Branam's international incident that almost happened.

Ep. 170 – New Shooters | If you are a new shooter or new to concealed carry or even if you're teaching new shooters, this episode is for you. Ben Branam and I discuss what to practice, using snap caps, dry firing, trigger finger discipline, types of guns for new shooters, 4 round qualification courses, and how to teach new shooters. Also, at the request of a listener, Ben and I address the issue of military personnel having to disarm in the presence of dignitaries.

Correction and Congratulations! | I need to correct some statements I've made in previous podcasts about the Trayvon Martin case and selecting a handgun. Also, a couple of listeners called in some voice mails and I want to congratulate the first winner in my SCP contest. So this is a short episode, not really a full podcast episode, but nonetheless, some worthwhile content. Thanks for downloading and listening.

Ep. 167 – Practicing with your defensive rifle. | Even though this is the HandgunWorld Podcast, every once in awhile the subject is about rifles or shotguns. So recently Ben Branam and I got together to discuss practicing with your self defense rifle. We also talked about ammunition selection and ballistics. Ben ran his AK in a recent carbine match and I ran my AR and we discussed our experience, respectively. If you're also a rifle enthusiast, you will enjoy this podcast.

Episode 165 – Point Shooting Part 2 | "They do not know, what they do not know." That's the unfortumate status of the naysayers of point shooting. In this episode, Roger Phillips joins me for part 2 of our point shooting dicsussion. Back in Episode 150 he laid down the ground work for the point shooting discussion. This episode is a continuation. We discuss subjects like low light point shooting, keys to a reactive gunfight, hand eye coordination and a lot more. It will probably make you less concerned about the sights on your handgun and more concerned about improving your ability to shoot it. Links will be posted on the GRRN forum.

Bonus Podcast – Do gun owners get too emotional? | Sometimes I have a couple of pieces of gun related material that I can't make a complete podcast episode out of, but I want to put it out there. This is one of those times. So this isn't a real episode, but rather a bonus podcast. Don't expect this every week though, OK? It starts with a lunchtime discusion with a couple shooting buddies, then turns into a response to a listener email and a book that was sent to me. Primarily, it's about how gun owners tend to let emotions rule their decision making when buying or evaluating a gun. Warning! This is NOT politically correct.

Ep. 164 – Mixed Bag Ben | Ben Branam joins me again for our once a month discussion about concealed carry and gun related stuff. We discussed buying handguns, shotguns (again) , Glock triggers, an experience he had as an armored car guard, 1911's, and an upcoming carbine match. Also, Jerry from St. Louis submitted an audio clip review of one of my podcasts. Thanks for downloading and listening.

Ep. 163 – Beating The Reaper | Have you ever thought about how you would keep yourself alive, after you get shot? Most people survive when being shot with a handgun. But can you administer first aid to yourself? This episode concentrates on trauma medicine. I interview Dr. John Meade. He's an ER physician and director of Trauma Medicine for Suarez International. He teaches a course called Trauma Medicine for the concealed carry operator. He's also written a book called "Beating the Reaper, Vol. 1." Consider this, because of your excellent training, you've prevailed in the gunfight, but your spouse who was with you has been wounded. Do you know what to do? Are you prepared? Dr. Meade gives some valuable insights in this interview. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Podcast | 2/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep. 162 – Pistol Packing Preacher, Glock 32 review and Listener Feedback | I received 2 excellent pieces of audio from a couple of listeners. One is a pistol packing preacher and the other likes his Glock 32 and he's a fellow Texan. I also covered some emails I've received and discuss some more information about defensive shotguns. Next week, get ready for a cool interview with Dr. John Meade, Tactical Medicine Instructor and author. Until then, I know you'll enjoy this episode and many thanks to all who contributed this material. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show | 2/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep. 161 – Master Bladesmiths | At the GRPC last September, I listened to Doug Ritter of Kniferights.org talk about knives being the second front of the assault on the 2nd amendment. I was reminded of that when I recorded this interview with 3 custom knife makers. Don't forget the importance of a good knife as a defensive tool and even though this is the HandGUNworld Podcast, once in awhile I think it's important to do a show on something other than guns, that you can use to defend yourself with. So I interviewed Wade Colter, Shane Taylor and Erik Fritz. Wade and Shane are Master Bladesmiths, and Erik is a Journeyman Bladesmith. This interview was done at the American Bladesmith Society's seminar and trade show in San Antonio. I think you'll enjoy it. Links can be found on the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum.

Ep. 160 – Spotting trouble and selecting ammo. | How to spot trouble and selecting your concealed carry ammo are the two primary topics in this episode. Ben Branam and I discussed these 2 subjects on the way home from an IDPA match about a week ago. We discussed what to look for in someone who may want to harm you and then we transitioned to the subject of ammunition selection and ballistics. I also answer some listener email.

Ep. 159 – Precision Targets | Do you shoot moving targets? Do you shoot targets while you're on the move? These are important skills to practice, because who stands still in a gunfight? Danny Cifuentes of Precision Targets is my guest on this show. We talk about the targets he makes, which are very high quality and we also discuss the importance of using his targets for practice.

Ep. 158 – Smith and Wesson Reviews | Two Smith and Wesson pistols are reviewed in this episode. First, Pablo from New Mexico reviews his Smith and Wesson Bodyguard .38 special revolver. He does a nice job with the good and the bad about this revolver. Next, I review my Smith and Wesson Bodyguard .380 semi automatic pistol. I've shot several hundred rounds through it and as usual, I give you my honest review of it. I will post an upcoming Youtube video review of it shortly. Many thanks to Pablo for this excellent review. Please keep the gun reviews or audio comments coming! Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show. | 1/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep. 157 – A Real Gunfight | A real gunfight is described by Ben Branam. In this episode we will discuss what a person thinks during a real gunfight, the reflexive responses that take place during a real gunfight and how a person defaults to their level of training. Ben has been in several gunfights and clearly describes one of them in this podcast. Whether you're a civilian, law enforcement officer or a military person, you should gain some very valuable insight from this podcast. As I've mentioned many times, I hope I never have to use a firearm in self defense, but my quest to be an consistent student of concealed carry and self defense, I decided to seek the experience of someone who has been in this situation. I firmly believe you'll enjoy this show and you will also hear a surprising admission by Ben, regarding action shooting and combat!

Ep. 156 – The sacrifices of carrying a gun | We make sacrifices when we decide to carry a gun. It changes our lifestyle, our clothing, out situational awareness and even the places we go to. So this episode is dedicated to making the choice to carry a gun and what comes with that choice in terms of personal responsibility. I also get into the subject of what gun to carry and when.

Ep. 155 – Anti gun arguments | This show is about anti gun people and the arguments they use against people who wish to carry a gun for self defense. Have you ever spoken to an anti gun person who just doesn't get it? In this episode I discuss the 2nd amendment in detail. I discuss what it actually means, how and why it was written and how it still applies today. If you find yourself in a discussion with an anti gun person, you may find some good ideas in this episode to help you have a persuasive and intelligent discussion about the 2nd amendment and the right to carry a firearm for self defense. This is based on the article, "Top Five Baseless and Subversive Arguments Against the Second Amendment" by Michael Chapdelaine. A link directly to the article can be found on the GRRN forum. This will be the last episode of this year, the next one will be Jan 2, 2011. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show | 12/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Ep. 154 – CCW mixed bag discussion, .357sig ammo, SIG1911C3 | CCW discussion seems to center around ammo, compact and subcompact guns, holsters, belts and magazines. So this episode has a little of all of these in it. I interviewed Jason Christensen and Un-named Trucker. Jason is the owner of Concealment Solutions and Un-named trucker is from the Roadgunner Podcast. We discussed the SIG 1911 that trucker is carrying, the new Sidewinder holster that Jason is making, the .357SIG round and even some airsoft gun discussion. I also had a chance to speak to Herman Gunter from the Pro Arms team recently and although that conversation is not on this podcast, I talk about some of that discussion regarding .357SIG and .40 caliber guns. Thanks for downloading and listening and congratulations to the winners of my Shooter's Club Podcast drawing!

Ep. 153 – Lone Star Shooting Association | There's a new shooting sport evolving rapidly. The Lone Star Shooting Association founded by Gary Burris and Dale Hunnicut. In this episode I interviewed Gary Burris the founder. I like their mission, to raise money for Gun Rights organizations. I also like their scoring system and the way they classify the different types of shooters. Gary was also a speaker at the Gun Rights Policy Conference about international gun laws and policies. You will be interested to hear what he has to say about the UN's attempt at gun control.

Ep. 152 – Busting off the X | Perhaps nothing is more important when using your handgun to defend yourself, as busting off the X. In this episode, I discuss a recent training class I took and how much it helped me learn that not getting shot is probably just as important as being able to shoot well. In the unfortunate situation of having to defend yourself with a gun, do you know how to avoid getting shot too? I also discuss long range pistol shooting and give you a recap of the training class and even a restaurant tip. A couple of fellow students also joined me for an interview at Suarez International's Advanced Close Range Gunfigthing course. Thanks for listening and remember to check the GRRN forum for links. Also, there's less than 2 weeks left to get in on my drawing on December 16th, 2011. It requires an investment in my Shooter's club podcast, but I've just increased the amount of giveaways.

Ep. 150 – Point Shooting | Roger Phillips of Suarez International is my guest on this episode. We discuss point shooting. This is the first time I've ever done a show on point shooting and I thought it would be fitting to start this subject with Episode 150. Roger does an excellent job of explaining the art of point shooting. I've heard nothing but awesome things about his point shooting classes and intend to take on in February 2012. If you're really serious about defending yourself with a handgun, you should learn to point shoot. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do 150 episodes! I'm looking forward to 150 more!

Ep. 149 – Competition Burnout | Steve Zopfi, co-host of the PowerFactor Show is my guest host for this episode. He talks about how to avoid competition burnout and even how many IDPA and USPSA clubs suffer burnout among their match directors and range officers. Steve also talks about how to avoid individual burnout and how to keep the shooting competitions relevant and interesting for those who do a lot of competing. Even if you're new to competition shooting, you'll learn some valuable insights from Steve that will pay off for you in the future. I will be back for Episode 150 next week.

Ep. 148 – MAG 40 Preparation | This episode was pre recorded almost 2 weeks ago. But since I'm taking a brief vacation from this show, I decided to make this episode 148, even though I made a mistake in the intro and called it episode 147. Jon Hodoway joins me on this episode to discuss how to get ready for a MAG 40 class. Naturally we also discuss a few other topics as well such as IDPA. Next week will be another guest podcast (episode 149) done by a special guest, then I will be back in real time for Episode 150 and a lot of cool stuff planned for the future!

Ep. 147 – Guest Podcast: Eric Shelton | Eric Shelton, former host of the Handgun Podcast is my guest host for this episode. I decided to take a little time off and asked Eric to jump in and fill in for me and he did a terrific job, as I knew he would. He discusses topics such as the NRA and other gun rights organizations, an update on his status and what's in the future for him, and also concealed carry handguns. As always, Eric provides thought provoking and useful information for all firearms enthusiasts and concealed carry advocates. I miss his podcast, but also understand how life takes twists and turns. So I think you'll enjoy this treat as much as I have. Thank you Eric for helping me out and best of luck in all that you do. Don't miss this episode. I'm taking 2 weeks off right now to get a few things done at work. Next week, you will hear a cool interview that's already recorded and I will be back on November 14, 2011 with coverage of Suarez International's, Advanced Close Range Gunfighting course.

Ep.146- Texas Tactical IDPA | I shot the Texas Tactical IDPA match on October 15, 2011 at the Cedar Ridge Range in San Antonio. You'll hear coverage of the match from the range and an interview with a shooter on my squad who shot his XD9 for the first time. You'll also hear stage descriptions and the results of a few stages. I finished 8th out of 27 shooters in the SSP division. I'll take that, since I didn't shoot a match in almost 6 weeks previous to this match. I was in "gamer" mode and shot my Glock 34, Comp-Tac OWB. belt holster and concealed with an IDPA vest. You'll experience the match in audio format from the range.

Bonus Podcast – Listener Audio Comments | Listener audio comments are now coming in with regularity. That's great. Keep them coming, seems like everyone has some quality topics to talk about. So this is not a complete episode.

Episode 145 – 1,000 Round Trigger Job. | I've received quite a few emails asking me, "what is a 1,000 round trigger job?" First, let me say, I didn't make that up. I read it somewhere on a forum and can't remember where, but I'm sure that expression has been used before. So during the first segment, I'll answer in detail what I mean by that. Trigger jobs are one of the most talked about modifications on a handgun, yet it seems like some people spend too much money on them and don't get a good enough benefit. Most decent quality guns have triggers that can be mastered with enough practice. That's my main point, but listen for more details. During segment 2, I respond to my backlog of listener emails. Please keep them coming, I will get to most of them. Links can be found on the GRRN forum. Thanks for downloading and listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show | 10/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 141 – Advanced Close Range Gunfighting | The audio quality of this interview didn't turn out as good as I hoped it would. I'm not sure what I did, but my microphone settings were all messed up, so I've done the best I could to make this interview with Jon Payne from Suarez International, sound good enough for you to get something out of it. My apologies in advance. This episode begins with an audio comment from a listener regarding my last episode, then a little commentary from me and then the interview regarding Advanced Close Range Gunfighing. I just finished the Gun Rights Policy Conference in Chicago and it was great! Later this week, I will post another episode with some good quality audio from the GRPC conference.

Episode 140 – A Pilot talks about concealed carry. | I had the pleasure of interviewing a professional pilot who also carries concealed and is a competition shooter. So I interviewed him and got his unique perspective on concealed carry. We discussed the issue of concealed carry on airplanes and whether it would be a good idea or not and also his testing of RBCD ammo. We also discussed his M&P .40c and our situational awareness when carrying in public, especially a restaurant. This episode begins with a few audio comments from listeners and my follow up answers regarding open carry and gun store clerks.

Episode 139 – Tactical Carbine Match | Recently I shot a tactical carbine match with Texas Tactical in San Antonio. It was my first time shooting a carbine match with my AR-15. So I took my recorder along and recorded some stage descriptions, recaps and you'll hear some of the experience during the match. You'll hear what type of AR that I used and what modifications I've done to it and why I think it's important to participate in matches like this with your long guns. Even a Ruger 10-22! Also, at the end you'll hear an audio clip from a listener about 1911's and the original torture test and what was said in my 1911 podcast a couple weeks ago.

Episode 137 – The 1911 Pistol, Interview with Jon Hodoway | The 1911 pistol is arguably the most popular gun in the world, just by the number of people who own one. Recently several listeners have asked me to talk more about 1911's. Since I don't own any 1911's right now, I decided to interview someone who owns a lot of them and has shot thousands and thousands of rounds through 1911's. Jon Hodoway shares is valuable insights and thoughts about owning, shooting, carrying and competing with 1911 pistols. We talked about the grip safety issue, the thumb safety and capacity features and even some history as to how and why Jon Browning designed the 1911 pistol. Thanks for listening and don't forget about your last chance to help the GRRN, The Powerfactor Show and my show with an investment into my Shooter's Club Podcast.

Episode 135 – Changing the rules. | Every shooting competition has a set of rules and by laws that they adhere to. However, there are inconsistencies in the way they are written and enforced. In this episode, Steve and Rick from the Powerfactor Show interview with me and we discuss how we would change the rules of IDPA and USPSA if we were in charge. So naturally this is heavily competition related. For those of you who shoot these 2 sports, I think you'll find yourself relating quite a bit to this subject. Thanks for downloading and listening.

Bonus Podcast – AR-15/M-4 Rifle Gunfighting | Bonus Podcast - not a regular episode. I recently had the opportunity to interview 2 firearms trainers on the subject of AR-15/M-4 rifle gunfighting. Specifically a course taught by Suarez International on Sept 10th and 11th, 2011 in Orange, TX. Jon Payne and Don Robison are the 2 instructors and they join me for this quick but informative interview covering aspects of defending yourself with an AR-15/M-4 Rifle.

Episode 134 – Unique methods of concealed carry. | Concealed carry in an unconventional manner is the subject of this episode. I received an audio clip from a listener named Pablo in New Mexico about a unique method of carrying his Glock 26. It's pretty interesting, you'll hear that first. Then, Jason Christensen of Concealment Solutions joins me for a discussion about his holsters and also some unique methods of concealed carry.

Episode 133 – Must wants method of gun selection. | Picking a handgun is sometimes a tough choice. I'm often asked, "what handgun do you think I should buy?" It's nearly impossible for me to answer that, because everyone has different hand sizes, finger lengths, needs, wants and body shapes. Well, a listener named Paul from Maryland sent me an audio explanation of a method of weighing the must haves and wants and it's a pretty cool and well thought out method of selecting a handgun. So you'll hear that and also a little bit of my explanation of why I carry what I do. The main point of this podcast is that you don't necessarily want to listen to friends or relatives opinion of what gun is best for you. I would also suggest staying away from being convinced by all of the fancy marketing that gun manufacturers tend to put out. Hopefully in this show you'll be able to use this method to make an informed decision. And as always, I welcome your feedback either in audio form or written form.

Episode 132 – A mixed bag of gun talk (again) | This week is a mixed bag again, because I didn't really have only one single topic, so I combined a few topics into one show. You'll hear a rebuttal from un-named trucker regarding my review of the Glock 26 a few weeks ago. Then Al Vennemeyer from Stealth Defense Holsters joins me again for a follow up from a few weeks ago. I also discuss the oppressive Maryland gun laws and why they really don't allow concealed carry. Generation 4 Glocks are also a topic of this show. Also many thanks to Jason at Concealment Solutions for adding an extra giveaway to my fundraiser. Links can be found on the GRRN forum.

Episode 131 – Gun Control Defined | The Gun Control subject is a touchy one. So many opinions. But one fact is clear, the 2nd amendment is an individual right and that has now been upheld by the SCOTUS. But in this episode I have a little fun with the gun control discussion. So there's a little humor in this show and also some serious discussion. I found some good audio soundbites of some well known people and some anonymous people on the subject of Gun Control. Some news interviews too. I think you'll enjoy them. Links can be found at the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. Thanks for listening, Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show | 7/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 130 – Modifying handguns. Competition guns vs. Carry guns. | Modifying your handgun is something almost every handgun owner decides to do. Many experts in the field of self defense and the legalities of doing so, recommend not modifying your carry gun. Especially the trigger. Sights are the most common modification. Whether you have a 1911 or a polymer wonder, or a SIG, Beretta, Taurus or whatever, it seems as though there's so much talk and decision making that goes into the modification of one's handgun. Even revolver shooters tend to favor trigger jobs. In this episode I start with responding to a few listener emails, then get into an interview with Steve Zopfi about trigger modifications. We don't talk much about competition shooting, mostly we discussed modifying carry guns. He discusses his STI and his Glock.

Episode 129 – Shooting at arm’s length. | You never know when and where someone who want's to harm you, will strike. Often times we are in a compromised position or perhaps your attacker is even so close, that they are at arm's length or even closer! Violent encounters don't happen like a competition match. There's no timer, no scoring system and no re-shoot. Not to make fun of competition at all, because as you know, I totally enjoy it and support the shooting sports. But the main topic of this show is what to think about when shooting at arm's length distance. So I reviewed and excellent article by Jon Payne of Suarez International on this subject. Some of this is from my personal experience during the training I recently took under him. Also, Jon Hodoway has more to say on how to pick a firearms trainer and ammunition ballistics. You'll also learn about the Wall Drill. A dry fire practice technique taught by an Army Reserve shooting instructor. I also cover some listener emails on subjects like the Glock 26 as a back up gun and appendix carry. Finally, you'll hear my review of the Smith and Wesson model 39-2. I recently had a chance to shoot one for the first time. Links for all of these can be found on the Gun Rights Radio Network forum.

Episode 128 – Hodoway on Mindset, Trucker on Galco | Jon Hodoway joins me on this episode to discuss mindset of concealed carry. He also shares a recent experience he had where mindset paid off. He was carrying but it had a good ending. We also got into good discussion on how to select a firearms trainer. Jon is a firearms trainer for the Pro Arms team and usually has some very valuable insights. This show is no exception. He's a traveller like me and travels with his handguns. He shares a story about what happened to him on the road. Also, Un-named Trucker submitted a review of the Galco King Tuk holster.

Episode 127 – $1200 Glock 21SF and a mixed bag of gun talk. | A lot of people think they need to make serious modifications to their gun to be able to shoot it well. A couple weeks ago, a shooting buddy of mine decided to pour about $600 worth of upgrades into his new Glock 21SF, then did a range test to see if he could shoot it better. Listen to this episode to find out the results. Are modifications really worth it? Is there a point of diminishing returns? Would you be better off to spend that same money on ammo and training? Do you need a trigger job? What is the 1,000 round trigger job? These are questions I attempt to answer in my own way on this show. You'll also hear a brief post match discussion between me and Steve and Rick from the Powerfactor Show. For those of you who have emailed me questions and comments, I've also handled some of the backlog of emails I've received. Thanks for sending them in.

Episode 126 – 2 Days of Competition at Double Tap – From the Range | A little over a week ago I competed at the Double Tap Championship (USPSA) in Wichita Falls, TX. Although I didn't do as well as I wanted, I'm glad I took on the challenge. Competition does help you improve your ability to shoot fast and accurately. Why would that be a bad thing? So in this episode, I interviewed people at the range who were shooting with me and also recorded some of the stage descriptions given by the RO's of the match. Also, Steve Zopfi and Rick Brenneman from the PowerFactor Show joined me for a discussion after day one as to what we liked, disliked and some success and failure stories. This episode is as close to being as I can bring you in an audio podcast. I think you'll enjoy it. Thanks for downloading and listening. Links are posted on the GRRN forum.

Episode 125 – 2 Days of Close Range Gunfighting, recap from the range. | A little over a week ago I took Suarez International's Close Range Gunfighting course in Dallas. Many listeners were there to train with me. It was intense and taught us about the defensive mindset and how to safely and efficiently use our gun to stop the situation if it ever got to that point. So I decided to record a little bit of what happened at the course. I interviewed other students and also had a chance to record our instructor discuss the significant points of the class. Short of actually being there, this recording should help you share the experience. Please try to get to one of these classes. I think it's a wise investment if you carry a gun and plan to use it as a defensive tool. We cover after action assessments, SUL, shooting with both hands and a lot more. Thanks for listening.

Episode 124 – Double Tap | This week, Steve and Rick from the Powerfactor Show talk with me about getting ready for the Double Tap Championship (USPSA) in Wichita Falls Texas next weekend. So naturally this episode is about competition shooting. We discuss what guns we are shooting, what spare parts we are bringing, what courses of fire to expect, they type of holsters we will be using, what divisions and classifications we are shooting in and what shooters we expect to see and interact with at the match. I just finished the 2 Day "Close Range Gunfighting" course with Suarez International this past weekend and it was great. So tune in next weekend and I will bring you interviews from shooters at the course and a recap of the course. Then, the following week, you'll hear Steve and Rick and probably a few other shooters from Double Tap range talk about what happened at the match. For now, enjoy the preview of the competition.

Episode 123 – Listener feedback and Q&A | This week I address the long backlog of listener feedback and questions. Some of the topics are the 1,000 round trigger job, IDPA, gun ownership and mental health issues, Glock triggers, magazine capacity, training and even a few disagreements with some of the points made on a few of my recent shows. I think that's a good thing because there are a lot of ways to defend yourself with a handgun and differences of opinion are healthy. This was recorded about a week in advance so if you've sent me a questions or comment within the last week, I will get to it on next week's show. Thanks for your comments!

Episode 122 – Feeling naked without my gun. | Last week I took a trip to Montreal, Canada for the entire week on business. Therefore I was not able to carry my gun. It gave me a feeling of being naked, without it. Once concealed carry becomes a habit and part of your wardrobe and your lifestyle, have you ever noticed that if you don't carry your gun, you get the feeling that something is missing? I did, so I decided to make that the main topic of this episode. Once carrying a gun becomes second nature, you'll probably notice this. Also, aren't there times when one needs to downsize their firearm, depending on their activity and mode of dress required? I think the answer is yes. So you won't feel naked because you're not carrying a gun. Some experts say "dress around your gun" which is fine in theory, but there are times when that's just not possible, so I discuss that too. Remember to check out the Gun Rights Radio Network forum to find out the winner of the free ticket to Suarez International's Close Range Gunfighting course in Dallas on May 28th and 29th and the High Noon holsters I'm giving away.

Episode 121 – Taurus PT 24/7 DS review | This episode starts with a review of the Taurus PT 24/7 DS, 9mm that a listener let me borrow for T&E. Overall, I give this gun high marks. There were some features I didn't like, but I have to say that this is a very reasonably priced gun that gives you a lot of features and it was very reliable. But I give you my usual unbiased review after shooting over 100 rounds through it. The second half of the show is dedicated to listener emails and questions. I also pick on IDPA a little bit even though I love the sport. This is the last week to take advantage of the drawing for a free admission to the CRG Suarez International Class in Dallas this month.

Episode 120 – Stealth Defense Strut Holsters and an IDPA stage recap. | Al Vennemeyer, owner of Stealth Defense Strut Holsters, Inc., joins me as my guest. We discuss his new holster design and why he feels it solves some problems that concealed carry sometimes presents. He sent me one for T&E, so I will carry it for a few weeks and let you know what I think. Also, I shot an IDPA match at Cross Timbers IDPA recently and shot quite well, but made a critical error. It didn't cost me much but it could have. So the first segment I recap that particular stage for you. I've also included some responses to listeners questions and emails in segment 3.

Episode 119 – Roundtable Gun Discussion on CCW, Laws and Training. | I did a 3 way Skype call with Steve Zopfi and Rick Breneman, hosts of the Power Factor Show. This turned into a roundtable discussion on everything from concealed carry to training, NRA certification and CCW laws. This conversation took a lot of interesting twists and turns. It's fun when a planned conversation changes course a few times. This is un-edited, except for the trailer at the end. Steve even challenges me on a couple of issues, which I think was kind of cool. Rick talks a lot about his NRA certifications and the value of the NRA courses. Steve discusses the IPSC 101 training classes he does and in addition, we discussed how we feel about the training required for concealed carry permits. Very little discussion is on what happens in competition however.

Episode 117 – High Noon Holster Review | Recently I had the chance to receive some sample holsters from High Noon Holsters. They sent them to me for review. After nearly a month of using them, I have decided to share my thoughts. They are excellent holsters. If you're looking for a good leather holster you really need to give High Noon Holsters strong consideration. I will discuss things like ruff side out, sight tracks, reverse J Clips, reinforced mouths and the excellent High Noon belt for concealed carry. Many thanks to Alex at High Noon Holsters for giving me this opportunity. A follow up YouTube video will be coming shortly so I can put into pictures what I say on this show. I carried my Glock 19 and my Kahr PM9 for nearly a month in these holsters. One was the Alter Ego and the other was the Hideaway. I carried them appendix carry and even shot IDPA with the Alter Ego carried behind the hip. Listen carefully and you will hear my thoughts. Next week, Gabe Suarez will be one of my guests. If you have questions you would like me to ask him, please email them to me by this Friday, 15th. I'm also making another special announcement on this show, so thanks for listening.

Episode 116 – Shooting range chatter. | Shooting range discussion is the main topic of this show. As many of you know, I like to shoot the Real World Gun shooting match at Dallas Pistol Club. After the match, I interviewed 3 shooters who also listen to this show to get their opinions on the match and what they learned from it. We also discussed carry guns. One shooter, who is an avid USPSA shooter, kind of surprised me when we talked about his carry gun. I really stunk in this match. I had one stage that was horrible and it destroyed my score. But I was able to pull off a couple of real good shots that made the whole match worthwhile. As I've mentioned quite often, you just can't practice some of this stuff at a square range. So this podcast should help you experience some of it. I also answer some listener questions and emails. Next week I will do a review of the High Noon Alter Ego and the High Noon Hideaway holsters I've been using lately. Don't forget to join the GRRN forum and my YouTube Channel too.

Episode 115 – Gun discussion that doesn’t matter. | Too much discussion takes place about guns and shooting equipment that really doesn't matter too much. What I mean by that is that it doesn't help your ability to shoot and defend yourself too much. My guest, Jon Hodoway, on this show really makes this point quite nicely. He also recently won the Central Florida Tactical Conference shooting match. He's also a firearms trainer for the Massad Ayoob Group. Among other topics such as Glocks that sometimes jam, range rental guns, how to test a gun, and the Ron Avery drill, we spend quite a bit of time talking about the less than important stuff that internet ninja's and internet commandos spend a lot of time on. You may find yourself asking the question, what should I really do to improve my defensive shooting skills? I think you will find that answer in this podcast. - Bob Mayne, Handgun World Show Links: Central Florida Tactical Conference, Wounded Warrior Match Students reinforce lessons for teachers, Massad Ayoob Ron Avery Drill HGWS "Shooter's Club" Podcast Gun Rights Radio Network | 3/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 113 – Can you fight? | Can you fight with your handgun? What I mean by that, is can you fight your way out of trouble if you're attacked?

That's really why we carry a gun, isn't it? So this episode is interview number 2 with Jon Payne, staff instructor at Suarez International. We discuss the upcoming Close Range Gunfighting course in Dallas on May 28th and 29th. in this interview, you'll gain valuable insight to the "self defense" mindset and tactics even if you don't attend this course.

Episode 112 – Women and Guns, a sequel. | This is a sequel to the Women and Guns podcast I did last year. But I felt compelled to put out more information on this subject because I feel strongly about women carry a gun for self protection. So, I interviewed a woman who is a firearms trainer, excellent shooter and big advocate for a woman's right to defend herself with a firearm. Guy, pay attention to this episode if you have a woman in your life that is interested in concealed carry and shooting. If she's thinking about what type of firearm to buy, this will be a good episode for her to listen to. Andrea Clark's website is called F.A.S.T. Defense (Firearms, Awareness and Safety training.)

Episode 110 – Old Handguns, Military Surplus Guns, IDPA/IPSC Classification, Part 2 | Old guns are fun to talk about and also fun to shoot. Not only are they pieces of history, but many old guns are well made. In this show, I interview Rick Breneman again, he's one of the hosts of the Power Factor Show on GRRN. He's an accumulator and shooter of old, historic firearms. So this is sort of a Part 2 of the interview from a few weeks ago. We cover some more information on shooting, reloading and collecting old guns. We discuss military surplus rifles, old 1911's and shooting them. We also get a little off topic and talk about the .357SIG. Will it be obscure in the future? Then we tie it in to shooting old guns in competition and carrying them for self defense. There are actually 2 interviews in this show, the 2nd one is regarding classification in IDPA and USPSA, with Steve Zopfi of the Power Factor Show. Please remember to join me at the GRRN Forum and also consider an investment in version one of my CD/Digital download.

Episode 109 – Competition Shooting | Shooting events such as IDPA and USPSA are fun games, but I've always believed they can help you practice gun handling skills such as drawing from your holster, grip, alignment, stance and shooting on the move. So once a month I interview Steve Zopfi. He's one of the hosts of the PowerFactor Show, a video podcast on competition shooting. In this episode we discuss Chapter 5 of Brian Enos' book, "Practical Shooting, Beyond Fundamentals." We do our best to tie this into self defense skills as well. In this episode you will gain some valuable insight into the world of competition shooting no matter what gun you are using. I also answer some listener questions in the beginning of the show.

One is from Serbia and the other is from Southern California. Both now live in the gun friendly state of Texas. You will hear their perspective of what happened at the Real World Gun match at Dallas pistol club and how it has helped them improve their shooting skills and self defense gun handling techniques. I also cover some more listener feedback. If you've ever wondered what it's like for a new shooter to get started I think you will enjoy this show. They shot their carry guns and give listeners a unique perspective on what that's like too. Please remember to join me at the GRRN forum and my YouTube Channel. Also, I am donating 1/2 of the proceeds from my "Shooter's Club" CD/Digital download to the Second Amendment Foundation, now through March 15th.

Episode 106b – Kimber Solo Carry Review | This isn't really a full episode so that's why it's called Episode 106b. But today I had the opportunity to shoot the new Kimber Solo Carry 9mm pocket pistol. I rate this gun a 7. You'll hear my thoughts on why I didn't give it a 9 or 10. In my opinion it has some strange features that I believe are weaknesses but also has some very nice features, especially the trigger. Episode 107 will be posted by next Monday.

Episode 106 – Collectible Firearms | This episode is and interview with Rick Breneman of the Power Factor Show. One of his specialties is collecting firearms. I have not done a show on collecting firearms because I don't know much about it, so I took this advantage of an expert's opinion and want to share it with you. We talk about how to acquire collectible firearms, what type Rick collects and what he shoots! The Power Factor Show is also part of the Gun Rights Radio Network and our first video podcast.

We discussed our thoughts about a Glock .357Sig, FN 9mm and Beretta PX4 sub compact 9mm. At the beginning of the show I cover some information on a recent back up gun match I shot with my P380. We also discussed James' new High Noon Public Secret left handed holster for his PX4. We also spent some time discussing the Tucson shooting and why the anti gunners and media have it all wrong.

Episode 102 – How firearms training pays off: Interview Jon Hodoway on FL School Board Shooting. | On December 14, 2010 a tragic shooting took place during a Florida School Board meeting. Jon Hodoway and I discuss the events that took place and what it means to all of us who conceal or open carry on a daily basis. Jon did his homework on this event, reading transcripts and analyzing videos. I think you'll find his conclusions and opinions quite compelling. Here are a few questions I would like to pose to you as you listen to this. First, this happened in a gun free zone, so have you ever wondered how dangerous gun free zones really are? Secondly, why do people not believe that something like this can never happen to them? Third, are you prepared? Please take this information to heart and really think about what' being said in this show and thanks for downloading and enjoy the interview.

Episode 100 – Why you should “game” it. | There seems to be a never ending argument about whether competition shooting helps you with your ability to defend yourself with a handgun. So finally, Episode 100 is here! First of all, thanks to all of you who have made this possible. I start with some listener feedback then the main topic. I promised this would be just another episode and that it is. As long as you keep listening I will keep putting out shows on my favorite passion...shooting. This episode is inspired by an excellent article from Defense Review entitled "Why Competitive Shooters and Mixed Martial Arts practitioners have a combat advantage." Here's an excerpt below and enjoy the show! Real violence is not sporting, it is confusing, often grotesque, and characterized by intense physical effects upon combatants. In a real fight, the winner is often the individual or individuals who employ simple, effective maneuvers in a precise and deadly manner. But the application of these techniques in a fight can be quite difficult. Countless repetitions have to be performed for a gross motor skill, such as a punch, to be performed upon a resistant opponent. For a complex motor skill, such as marksmanship, thousands of repetitions are performed before an individual can utilize that technique against any sort of resistance. Therein lies the beauty of competition. Competitive training does not dwell on tactics or mindset, but instead on the constant repetition of key skills. It is in this context that I believe that sporting events can function as a decisive training tool for martial-minded individuals.

Episode 99 – Interview with Jon Hodoway | Jon Hodoway is my guest on this show. He agreed to be interviewed due to some challenges I had with some of his comments and quotes of me a few weeks ago. We had a very good civil discussion on concealed carry, caliber, choice of gun, training, stopping power and why he doesn't like the .380acp! So download and listen as soon as you can. I found this to be very informative and while we don't see eye to eye on everything, that's a good thing. Jon does a good job of backing up his arguments and he makes some very convincing points. I like the fact that he used evidence that he's found and not just pie in the sky theories. We also discussed some expensive 1911's and a couple of revolvers.

Episode 98 – Real World Gun Part 2 | Before and after analysis of the Real World Gun Match that's more defensive oriented than most competition matches in my opinion. I realize it's still a game, but I shot my carry gun and used my carry gear/holster, etc. This is a relatively short show but I think you'll enjoy the analysis and shooting results. I also got a chance to shoot a Wilson Combat CQB 1911, so tune in for a quick review on that gun. This Friday I'll post my recent interview with Jon Hodoway.

Episode 97 – Real World Gun | Most of this show is listener feedback but I also give a summary of The Real World Gun match I'll be shooting this Thanksgiving weekend. So stay tuned next week for the results of what happened. However, I do explain the differences between Real World Gun and IDPA. I also answer listener's questions about holsters, throwing yogurt at vehicles, arm extension, carrying a Kahr, carrying a Taurus, tuckable holsters, practice techniques and more. Please remember to join me at the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum, YouTube, Facebook and Shooters Legion.

Episode 96 – Draw and Reload | Your draw from the holster is one of the most important skills to know to deploy your handgun for self defense. So is performing a reload. In this episode I get taught a new way of performing a reload. We also break down the 5 step reload into on of the best explanations I've ever heard in the audio version. I cover a little listener feedback in segment one. But have you ever stopped to concentrate on your draw stroke? Do yo practice it? Thousands of repetitions? When you reload do you look your magazine into the magwell or keep focused on the threat? What do you do with your gun to regain sight picture after a reload. The porpoise technique? Does your draw look like a bowling ball motion? Tune in, I think you'll find this show educational no matter what your skill level. This show pertains to you while shooting competition OR self defense.

Episode 95 – Yogurt vs. Handgun | Who would have thought that Yogurt and Handguns would exist in the same news story? Well, they did, I'll cover that in the show. I also discuss the possibility of concealed carry in Wisconsin and how the opposition to CCW in that state is putting out false and inaccurate information. It's the same bogus argument most anti gun people use. I also do an assessment of the mid term election results and what they mean for our gun rights. You'll also hear about some criticism of my show and my answer to it. This is a shorter show than usual and I normally don't put these out on weekends, but I wanted to get this one out there as soon as possible.

Steve and I do our best not to make this just a competitive shooting episode. We tie it into self defense techniques also. Highlights: Review of grip and natural point of aim Alignment Performing reloads Posture Grip pressure Shooter's elbow The importance of training (excellent video sent by a listener) Situational awareness Check out this video sent to me by a listener, it's excellent.

Episode 92 – Indoor IDPA | Indoor IDPA is a different experience than outdoor matches. This episode is a recap of a match I shot last Thursday. I also answer a couple of listener questions about Mili-Tec lubricant and slide play on a Glock. Then I will give you a before and after summary of some stages. I made some mistakes, also achieved some victories. I shot left handed and discussed lots of well designed stages for an indoor match. Shooting on the move, weak hand only shooting, interchanged ammo and shooting a modified Glock 19 in ESP category are subjects I discussed in the "before" segment. Segment 2 is about the results and what happened. I got some malfunction clearance practice and I even shot a magazine of carry ammo on one stage! I'll tell you all about it. You'll also hear a preview of next week's episode with Steve Zopfi again as we discuss Brian Enos' book Practical Shooting Beyond Fundamentals.

Episode 91 – Anatomy of Ending a Fight | Anatomy of Ending a Fight is important to know in case of the unfortunate event that occurs when you have to use your handgun. Please keep in mind, I do not in any way advocate killing or using lethal force unless it's absolutely necessary. Please educate yourself on when to use deadly force. Courses by Massad Ayoob and Tom Givens are excellent resources on this topic. But if you do have to use your gun I hope you find some good basics as to how you can more likely stop your attackers. I'll discuss things like CNS hits, RS hits, CS hits and effective stopping power techniques. Please read an excellent post on this too sent to me by a listener. Good stuff complete with a video! You'll also hear why I really don't think caliber is a big deal. Big and slow vs. small and fast, it really doesn't matter, in my opinion. What matters more is how effectively you can react and place your shots and where you place them. Resources: News from Second Amendment Foundation P.S. I usually don't put out 2 shows in one week, but since Eric's interview was a pleasant surprise and up and ready to go I wanted to get it out there.

Episode 90 – Interview with Eric Shelton of Handgun Podcast | Eric Shelton from the Handgun Podcast joins me this week to discuss our podcasts, how they came about, why we do this and how we are similar, yet different in a few ways. We discuss ideas about concealed carry guns, holster, sights, lights on guns, revolvers, sights, trigger pulls and more. We agree on some things and differ on others but I have to let you know that Eric's show has certainly been an inspiration to me and one of the influences that made me start this podcast. Eric and I also discuss why we like to carry a Glock 19 and how I started shooting 1911's in IDPA. For those of you that don't know, Eric's show is also part of the Gun Rights Radio Network. Last Friday I was on his podcast, so you may want to listen to that first, because this is sort of a "Part 2" of that episode. Both interviews were recorded at the same time.

We discuss chapter one of this book on awareness, focus, shooting tense, dry fire practice and seeing things with your subconscious mind. We also tie this into self defense techniques. This is the 2nd podcast this week. Normally I post one a week, but I had a lot to say this week so this is a bonus show. We also discussed some shooting practice techniques you can do at home and on the range. Even though this is primarily geared towards competition shooting I'm convinced you'll find some ideas on how you can become better at self defense with a handgun.

Episode 87 – Revolvers | Revolvers are a good choice for a self defense handgun. They are not my first choice, but at the request of a listener, I did this show on my experience shooting 2 particular revolvers. James Kimmerle and I went to a range, rented 2 .357 magnum revolvers and we give you our straight talk review on them. Highlights: Simplicity of the revolver, good or bad? Firing a revolver from a pocket. Capacity of a self defense revolver. Reliability pros and cons. Revolver myth busting. Is 5-6 round capacity enough? Every time you pull the trigger? Cost vs. features. Remember to join me at the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum if you haven't already and check out my YouTube channel. Please contribute to the show if you can to help keep it running.

Episode 85 – Carry that big gun. | Can you carry a big gun? Why not? If so, why do you carry a large gun? Questions often asked, so I give you my answers. First I start with a review of the .357SIG, after I went to the range and shot a Glock 33. The Pro Arms Podcast recent review of the .357SIG got me interested in what all the fuss was about. I must say, I was quite impressed. Then I talk about an IDPA experience and a little bit of news and listener feedback. The main topic is carrying a big gun and why you should do it. Highlights: .357SIG Glock 33 review. Using caliber conversion barrels in .40 cal and .357sig guns. Using the wrong recoil spring in Glock 19. What happens when you clean 2 guns at the same time. IDPA match recap. Big Slims Firearms store controversy. How the right belt and holster help you comfortably carry a big gun. Compromises in concealed carry and why I think you shouldn't make too many of them. The case for carrying a high capacity weapon.

This is a relatively short show, I've been pretty busy this week. Don't forget to listen to the pistol caliber carbine podcast I did on my survival show.

We talk about "calling your shots." I have to admit, I'm still not sure if I do it, or how to do it, but if you really want to be good at competitive shooting and in my opinion, defensive shooting, I think it would be good for you to get to the level of being able to call your shots. We also talk about Brian Enos' book, Practical Shooting, Beyond Fundamentals and forum. In the first segment I share some more listener feedback that continues to roll in.

Episode 82 – Close Range Gunfighting – Day 2 | Day two reviewed. More good stuff including getting off the X and working a flashlight into the fight. Several different ways to use the light, not a rail mounted light, a handheld flashlight. Faking my position with the way I hold the light that was fun. Then we worked a lot on 180 degree threats! In other words, shooting 3 bad guys in front of me, then doing an after action assessment, then check 360 (SUL) then advancing toward the bad guys behind me and shooting them. Had to do a slide lock reload (emergency reload) while constantly moving because there was no cover. Also more shooting inside 10 yards without using sights! After this course sights are not so important to me anymore. We also did some IDPA style shooting, started by shooting on the move then take cover switch to left hand shooting from one side then right hand shooting from the other side then 3 more bad guys on move. Absolutely good training that you simply can't get anywhere else. Glenn Matthews is a good instructor. About 250 rounds shot on day two. I will take their FoF class next spring. I got some good interviews while I was there, listen in and enjoy. I also cover an email from a listener about gun laws in Puerto Rico.

Episode 80- First time Glock shooter vs. first time Beretta shooter. | What happens when someone shoots a Glock for the first time and when someone shoots a Beretta for the first time? Tune in to find out. James and I went to a Fort Worth shooting range. There's a lot of talk about the grip angle of a Glock and the DA/SA trigger of a Beretta being difficult to shoot. We tried our best to do some myth busting. It's not a scientific test, but at least an attempt to show what first time shooters of each gun can experience. James shot my Glock 19 and I shot his Beretta PX4 subcompact. Thanks for listening, don't forget the Freedom Raffle, time is running out!

Episode 77 – Sights are like training wheels…become a more complete shooter. | Randy Harris, a.k.a. Cruel Hand Luke, is an instructor at Suarez International. In my opinion they are one of the best firearms training schools you can attend. I will take their Close Range Gunfighting Class this month.

Episode 60 – Accuracy – Is it me, or is it the pistol? | Many people, including lots of police officers, private citizens and military personnel, think that they can religiously practice pistol shooting to improve their marksmanship skills without the benefit of a shooting coach. Many become discouraged when their scores don't improve or actually get worse over time. The problem is that incorrect shooting practices condition a person to continue to shoot poorly. Every time you practice shooting, it's important that you do it correctly. You must constantly assess your level of performance and correct problems immediately before they become bad habits. Highlights: Perfecting your pistol shooting skills and improving accuracy. Shooting low and left? Shooting high and right? Correcting basic shooting errors. Heeling. Milking the Grip.

Episode 50 – “Daddy Get Your Shotgun!” | Shotguns are one of the most versatile weapons you can own. In my opinion, every family should have one. Even if you live in an area where handguns are not allowed, shotguns probably are. They are one of the most formidable man stoppers inside of 25 yards that are commonly available and affordable. In this episode I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of shotguns, their usefulness and what to watch out for when adding accessories, etc. Highights: Gauge, what do you select? Ammo, what type? Barrel, how long? Stock, should stock vs. pistol grip. Action type - pump, semi auto, double barrel. Shooting slugs. Brands of shotguns. What to look for in your first shotgun. Is yours a dedicated self defense shotgun? and more.... Resources: Clint Smith, Remington's Masterpiece LET ME ADD: The very idea of being able to chamber a round and the "chunk chunk" sound of the pump shotgun being enough to make the bad guy pee his pants and run away...is preposterous! That's a myth that simply isn't true. If the bad guy is stung out on drugs, a noise certainly isn't going to stop him. So consider that fact that you will likely have to shoot your shotgun, no matter what action type it is. Thanks for listening, and check out my YouTube review of my SOG Vulcan every day carry knife!

Episode 49 – Modifying Your Handgun | Modifying your handgun can be tricky and it's not easy to do without compromising reliability. In this episode I'll discuss what types of modifications I do to my carry pistols and competition pistols. As I've mentioned, I'm not a gunsmith, but I have learned a few things through trial and error and that's what I'll share with you. Highlights: No one handgun fits every person or shooter. Like height and waist size, hand size and individual finger length vary greatly. What to do about that. Changing the grips. Changing the magazine release button. Changing the slide release lever. Magazine wells. Recommended gunsmiths. Trigger jobs (after the 1,000 round trigger job.) Does all of this help you shoot better? How not to compromise reliability.

Episode 48 – Wouldn’t it be nice if we treated guns like we treat cars? | Treating guns like we treat cars, wouldn't that be nice? In this show I use some humor and point out how silly our gun laws are and how messed up society's views are on firearms. Even though this is humorous, there is some truth to it. I also get serious at the end and talk about how to prevent deaths related to guns. Highlights: You could get a simple license from the State for a nominal fee and only have to take a test that any idiot could pass. You could carry in any State at any time. You could buy ammunition at the 7-11. Old people who can hardly see would still be permitted to shoot in public. Congress would be willing to bail out Smith and Wesson, Colt, Kimber and Springfied Armory if they got into financial trouble. and more...

Episode 46 – Combat XS Big Dot Sights and Point Shooting opinions | The XS handgun sight system does take a bit of time to get used to because it does not present classic "square post in a square notch" sight picture offered by other sights. To line up XS sights, the shooter needs to place the large front dot in the center of the shallow V rear notch. When this is done correctly, the large white dot will sit on top of a white line in the center of the notch. XS calls this "dotting the 'i.'" Whichever visual representation you wish to use does not matter as long as the job gets done. The 24/7 sight has the advantage of having a white front dot with a green tritium dot in the middle, and the rear white line has a green line in the center. I find the combination of the black, white and green sight easier to acquire than a plain white sight. At close range (15 yards and in) the front dot goes on top of where you want to shoot. At farther distances, rounds will hit at the top of the sight dot. In this episode I will discuss more on XS Big Dot Sights and let you hear from some shooting experts about these sights and about point shooting vs using your sights. Resources: Paul Markel on XS Sights (Audio) Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics on Point Shooting (Audio) James Yeager of Tactical Response accurate with XS sights at 100 yds!

Episode 39 – The 9mm, 1911 pistol. | The 9mm 1911 used to be considered a "sissy" gun. Not anymore. Seem like more and more people are choosing to buy the 1911 in this caliber because of the low cost of .45 ammo and the light weight of the gun. And because it's in a 1911 platform that so many shooters know and love. Now I'm an owner of a 9mm, 1911 pistol. Tune in to hear about the advantages and disadvantages of this gun and why I bought it and why I think it's an excellent concealed carry choice for shooters who like the 1911 platform but my want something other than .45acp.

Another audio clip featuring Massad Ayoob and some more insight to hour our situational awareness goes sky high when carrying a gun. Carrying a gun means we also lose some rights, I'll explain when you listen to the show. Highlights: Your CCW license now means you less freedom and more responsibility.

Episode 36 – Ammo and The Consequences of The Use of Deadly Force | Selecting the right ammo to use in your handgun is a challenge. As you've heard me mention, I like Corbon DPX, but there are many good loads out there. A listener emailed me a question and asked me my opinion on using reloaded ammo, so this episode is partially dedicated to answer that question. I also play an audio clip of Massad Ayoob on The Judicious Use of Force. I thought it would be appropriate because the ammo discussion plays right into how careful you have to be when carrying a gun. Before listening to this podcast, I suggest you go to my survival website and listen to Episode 48 - Don't Talk to The Police. It goes along with this message. Highlights: When should you use reloaded ammunition? Does it help you or hurt you in self defense? Is it legal? What does using handloaded ammunition do to your gun's warranty? How ammo prices have persuaded many to reload. Why I don't recommend that you use reloaded ammo for self defense. How vitally important it is that we know our responsibility and the gravity of carrying a gun for self defense. What are the legal consequences of you using your gun?

Episode 35- Tactical reloads, game or reality? Ammo selection for your handgun. | Tactical reloads and ammo selection. A listener recently sent me an email alerting me to the fact that many experts point out that tactical reloads can take too much time, require too many fine motor skills and could actually get you killed. After reading the articles sent to me by Michael Bane and Ralph Mroz, PoliceOne Columnist I agree. So I've put together this podcast as a continuation of Episode 32. I also throw in some of my thoughts about selecting ammunition. Highlights: Game vs. reality debate. Is the tactical reload a game technique or could it be used in a real gunfight? Why I like the "speed reloads" instead. What is reload with retention? Are civilian gunfights decided by round count? Can the tactical reload cause more malfunctions? IDPA, game or reality? Ammo selection, bullet design, ballistics. FMJ ammo and over-penetration, is it overstated? Bob Mayne Handgun World Show | 2/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

My new favorite
Great show. I enjoy all the show topics. More IDPA! lots of fun blending defense, survival and marksmenship. Keep up the good work Mr. Mayne.
Very Informative
I really enjoy Bob's podcasts. He's informative and has an entertaining style that holds your attention. I like the level of detail he gets into, he makes a point, then backs it up with an explanation. I hope he continues to attract more listeners, he definitely deserves it!
excellent podcast
I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I've had my concealed carry permit for 11 years and I find that I'm learning something new listening to each episode.
There was another reviewer that said a cohost would be helpful. Some other podcasts have cohosts; some are great, others are difficult to listen to because of the number of people trying to talk at once.
