Had a co-worker's Glock go down the other day. The culprit was a broken trigger spring, which I have only ever seen happen twice now, but it is a definite showstopper. Luckily, we had a spare spring available.....which got me thinking....a $1 part is the difference between a functioning weapon and an expensive blunt object. I would encourage all to stock up on replacement parts while it is easy and cheap to do so. I will be.

"The constitution supposes, what the History of all Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of power most interested in war, & most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care, vested the question of war in the Legislature." -- James Madison

I give you Simo Hayha. During the Soviet invasion of Finland circa 1939; Simo served as a sniper in the Finnish militia. He conducted his duties alone in the harsh winter, armed primarily with an un-scoped Finnish variant Mosin-Nagant. Was this one man effective? 705 dead Soviet soldiers will endorse his efficacy. By the way; he accomplished this task in about three months time. The Soviet army was so terrorized by this small man and his little rifle, that they eventually tasked an entire battalion to hunt him down.....to no avail. That's an entire battalion tied up with one partisan......think about it. When asked later in life how he became such a good shooter, Simo simply responded.... "Practice" .

  "Practice the Simple Things HARD, and the hard things become simple.  I can't remember which of my buddies has that as part of his signature line, but it is largely true.  SF, Rangers, SEALs don't really train on anything different than a regular Soldier or Marine, they just train on the basics until they never get it wrong."    The man speaks the truth,  head over to his site to read the rest....  http://randomthoughtsandguns.blogspot.com/2012/01/fire-and-maneuver.html

Amazing blog written by a gentleman that lived through the horror of the Balkans conflict in the early nineties and has some real " been there done that " insight to offer regarding the breakdown of society and all that follows.

That's right Bruce.......there are many like it.....but this one is MINE.

Looks like we will be having a Gunfight Concepts Pistol, Gunfight Concepts Carbine and the Kidnap Defense/E&E Course, which should be a lot of fun. Also considering a Carbine Be-Your-Own-Armorer Course. Dates should be finalized shortly and will be posted asap....
