]]> Comment on 9mm vs. .40 vs. .45 by Greg http://insightstraining.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/9mm-vs-40-vs-45/comment-page-1/#comment-209 Greg Wed, 24 Feb 2010 05:52:14 +0000 http://insightstraining.com/blog/?p=121#comment-209 I just bought a Glock 19 9mm, I had no idea how much power this gun has. It's my first handgun and I was surprised on how muck kick back it had. I'm happy with the gun by all means. I read ALOT of articles before buying...Thanks for the post.

]]> Comment on The Color Codes by Janet http://insightstraining.com/blog/index.php/2009/09/the-color-codes/comment-page-1/#comment-207 Janet Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:55:53 +0000 http://insightstraining.com/blog/?p=239#comment-207 I appreciated this post. I remember hearing about condition white and getting the impression that it was an undesirable state under any circumstances except for sleep. As a musician I had a hard time applying this to performance situations, but the last time I performed I assigned a qualified individual to sit by the door and watch the room - this allowed me to devote my complete attention to the task at hand and be safe at the same time.

Also are you running classes in their training bay that requires frangible ammo? Other then that this is a great new facility.

My gf pointed out the other day that we can walk to more murder scenes than we can to places that serve food. Oh. I no longer run very fast. The CD carrier idea's a good one, though- I'll look and see what options are compatible. Immediate access is of concern to me- as I mentioned in an earlier post, I live in South-Park/White-Center.

Instead of wearing a t-shirt you can wear a hot-weather button up (preferably a print, not a solid color) and wear shorts with belt loops. For running I carry either a Kahr PM9 or a S&W 442 in an pocket holster inside of an Amphipod "CD" carrier. If I was running with a camelback I would carry it inside the pack. Immediate access to my handgun while jogging isn't as much of a concern as it is normally. Presumably, I am already running and continuing to do so is probably more important that getting a gun out.

Putting on a jacket to conceal my 586 .357 is unrealistic and even a medium-frame is too big and will foot-print. I bought my gf the P22 and, honestly, it's a fun little gun to plink with but, as you pointed out, it's not a real "stopper." I certainly don't want to argue with a cop about weaponry, or about calibre-size, but in the scenario I point out, what're the options? In another consideration, what about for jogging? Even the *horrors* fanny-pack would be disconcerting for wearing during the run, even if I'd wear one without dying of embarrassment. I tried this thing: http://www.hogvalleyproducts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=88&products_id=294 ...but it was a piece of junk. The sort of thing that I could envision carrying either a medium, compact or sub-compact in would be something like that- flat or non-printing. I've even considered buying a universal holster and a woman's sport-bra and having Tactical Tailor make something. Thoughts? OK-

It might be instructive to review the failures that could necessitate needing the backups for both autos and revolver. Most folks I talk to who choose to forgo carrying backups do so because they either don't know what could happen or don't think it is likely. Many concealed carriers have not put enough rounds down range to have the experience of a magazine or round failure. Keep up the good work! Good topic, Jeff.
