Modern Self Protection Podcast

Today:  I got the chance to shoot the M&P and Sig with

different slide mounted dot sites on each side by side to do a comparison.  I still want a pistol with a dot, just not

sure which direction I should go.

I really like the Sig and the M&P.  I’ve been carrying the M&P9 for about 5

years now and really like it.  Smith is

trying to update the platform but not doing it fast enough to keep up with the

market at this point.  They should be out

with all the Red dots on top of them, but they are not yet.  I think it’s a marketing ploy that they are

waiting to introduce the M&P 2.0 with slide mounted dot. 

The only thing keeping me from switching to the Sig 320 is

money.  It’s an incredible amount of

money to switch platforms, holsters, magazines, training time, back up gun, and

the like make the endeavor way more than just buying a pistol and

switching. 

Here’s what I found shooting them side by side:

Outline:

Why I like the Sig:

Natural Pointing and AimGood TriggerHigh Bore Access (Feels like shooting a 1911)Manual Safety OptionGreat Feeling Guns always liked the 250 when it

came outLots of Options

Why I like the Smith & Wesson M&P

Great Grip Angle and FeelShoot StraightWorks better than a Glock for meSmith was going the right way with optics and

then chokedNew M&P makes the old one better in almost

every wayHaven’t been able to break it… totally yet.

Optics

RMR has been the standard for a while nowNever really like itBattery issues2 Guys I know and respect went to them on carry

guns and then got rid of themRomeo 1 Bigger then the RMRSolves battery problemsSeems to be clearer to view through the windowMotion activatedControl Brightness

Shooting Contest

30 Rounds Each all at 10 yards10 Rounds slow fire off hand groups best I could

do10 Rounds rapid fire to keep inside the 5”

circle at 10 yards10 Rounds Hammer pairs trying to keep inside the

circleResultsSlow Fire the Sig shot better GroupsRapid Fire Group the M&P shot betterHammer Pairs the M&P Shot betterConclusionM&P is my gun and I should have outshot them

all with it, but the sig outshot it on the slow fire groupI think it was the clarity of the optic over the

gunBut I have outshot groups with the Sig over my

M&P beforeI will not be putting and RMR on anything, I

will be buying a RomeoIf I had unlimited funds I’d probably switch to

the Sig 320 pistols and just go with them… but I’ll probably be buying another

M&P and putting a Romeo 1 on it

Because, Libyson broke my file. Went to upload the entire thing and only half got published.

So here is the other half incase you where looking for it.

PS I called an FN P90 and P10. Not sure why, but must have had planes on my mind or something.

This is a Truck Talk Tuesday all about traveling and your self defense. I give what I’ve actually been doing the last couple months traveling for work and vacation. You will learn tricks and tips that will help you stay safe while you and your family travel.

What's new from SHOT Show 2019 that you might be interested in, firearms, self defense guns, gear, and more.

Can you spot a predator before you become their prey? We go through one of the greatest books about self defense in our modern world. In my library there are only 3 books you need to read and re-read, this is one of them.

In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro shows readers how to identify the four most common "dangerous personalities" and analyze how much of a threat each one can be.

“…you can’t even break a rule, how would you be expected to break bone?” – Khan to Spock. Can you break society's norms under the gravest extreme?

Combat Accuracy is a term I like to use for having effects on target. To me, it needs to be good enough to win the fight.

Combat Accuracy is a term people are picking up to mean, it’s good enough for now, or that means someone can’t shoot so they say I’m combat accurate. It’s all BS.

Friendly fire is just as dangerous as enemy fire. They will both kill you dead. Bullets don’t care, so friendly fire isn’t friendly when it’s coming towards you.

How can we avoid giving it? How can we avoid taking it? What can you do to make yourself safer from another good guy?

Today:  This is a Truck Talk Tuesday, just a discussion with you and me in a long drive.  Talking guns, gear, and mindset.  Continuing our mindset discussion from last Truck Talk, we talk today about never giving up.  The military taught me this after I already knew it. Adapt, improvise, overcome was the saying of the Marine Corps when I joined.  I simplified that to Winston Churchill’s easy saying, Never Give Up, Never Give Up, Never Give Up.

Once you start, just keep going and you’ll win sooner or later. The bad guy will make a mistake, just give up, or give you the opportunity to escape.  Keep pushing forward.  If you know anything, can hear anything, you aren’t dead yet.  Keep going.  Never Give Up!
