Wilderness Tactical Makers of the great belt we were talking about.

Lee Valley Tools for Gail’s favorite tactical door stop.

039 The ProArms BroadCast at the IDPA Nationals

We are bringing you Part Two of the interviews we recorded at the 2009 IDPA Nationals. This episode we feature interviews with four very different female shooters. First we talk to Joyce Wilson, the Executive Director of IDPA. Second we talk to Nikki Pinto a 16 year old high school student, shooting her first national match and she did a great job, remember her name because she’s going to go far. Our third interview is with Randi Rogers of Team Glock (also known as Holy Terror) who we caught a brief interview with between stages. Finally we talk with Cyndi Dalena of the First Shots Program.

038 The IDPA Nationals

These are the voices of the Nationals! Hear from Curt Nichols, the long-standing Stock Service Revolver national champ who devoted about three full time months worth of work to running this year’s event as match director. Hear from Robert Ray, who is the voice of International Defensive Pistol Association at headquarters on a daily basis, and the de facto arbiter of the sport’s rules. Hear from John Sayle, a prime mover first in IPSC in the US and then one of the founders of IDPA, and still a member of the IDPA Board, who was there on the ground when the whole movement developed. Fascinating listening, even for those who don’t shoot IDPA! The match was held at the beautiful U.S. Shooting Academy in Tulsa OK a must see destination for all shooters.

But wait, there’s more!! We had so many good interviews from the match that we decided to split them up into Two!, count ‘em, Two Podcasts. Watch for the ProArms Broad-Cast. We interview Joyce Wilson, the Executive Director of IDPA, Randi Rogers, winner of High-Lady at the Nationals, Nikki Pinto a 16 year old shooter at her first national match and Cyndi Dalena who runs the First Shots Program. So check back soon for more!!!

037 The Revolver Roundtable

It’s been a while since we had one of our round-table discussions so this week we decides to get together and discuss revolvers, a lot of things but not everything about revolvers. We have a lot of videos demonstrating reloading techniques for the revolver below. Oh, and if you tried to count up how many years of experience with revolvers we have had, that we enumerated on the podcast it come up to at least 245.

036 THE STORY BEHIND A STORY

How We and Our Industry Look to Outside Eyes

Paul Barrett visited our group twice in the course of putting together his cover story on the rise of the Glock pistol for Business Week magazine. We found him to be that rare reporter who seemed to truly be neutral on the explosive “gun control issue.” He even came with us to a couple of IDPA matches, and “got into the spirit” enough that he shot the second one with us! Used a Glock…and didn’t finish last, either.

Never owning a firearm himself and having fired one only on rare occasions in conjunction with writing assignments on the firearms industry for Wall Street Journal and now, Business Week, he has no ego invested that we can detect on either side of the gun control issue. Thus, he gives us an uncommon perspective: a “non-gun,” “non-gun-politics” person who is knowledgeable about the firearms industry…and striving to learn more.

His impressions after shooting…and his perspectives on the whole, intensely hot firearms debate…make fascinating listening, all the more timely since his current cover story in Business Week is the talk of the industry.

035 The Bison King

This is a story of justice gone wrong. It doesn’t include guns or shooting but there are many lessons to be learned here.

If you spend any time on the various internet fora you will come across many discussions of what would happen if one is involved in a self-defense shooting. You will hear people state something to the effect of “It doesn’t matter what kind of gun, ammo, trigger etc. that I use, all that matters is if it’s a good shoot.” The people who actually work in the courts have seen otherwise. Often, personal agendas and political correctness drive lawsuits that have no merit, and occasionally, they even engender wrongful prosecutions.

Here, Attorney Jim Fleming details one of the latter. It wasn’t a shooting case, but the same dynamics that occurred in this incident will be familiar to anyone who has ever been wrongfully accused.

You can get the book “The Bison King” at Tate Publishing or at Amazon for the Kindle.
