Vortex Edge instructor/RSO Chris Urrutia, a Marine vet, ex-SWAT sniper, SPECtrain founder, unpacks razor-sharp training at Vortex Optics HQ with us today in reflection of a recent trip we had out to the Vortex HQ and Edge facility in Wisconsin. Today, Chris and I will discuss pistol fundamentals, training discipline, how he measures progress, and, of course, what some of his current favorite pieces of gear are in 2026.
