この問題で

Another challenging period has forced us yet again to adapt to overcome, but as always the PMCI team get the job done whatever adversity we face! This issue kicks off with a very pertinent interview dealing with Situational Awareness, and we're very grateful to all-round good-guy and author of the book "Spotting Dange", Gary Quesenberry, for spending some time with us. Moving on we've got a look at targets systems both "old skool" and new, our usual mix of firearms, blades, and "tacticool tech", and Bill delves into fleece garments as we kick of our cold weather gear series. With more than ever for you to sink your teeth into, make sure to put this issue of PMCI of your reading menu!

Spotting Danger With Gary Quesenberry

Over the course of the past twenty years, trampas has worked in and around law enforcement on the local, state, and federal levels through various task forces before transitioning to the firearms and training industries. His travels have led him around the usa to meet some amazing people and learn many valuable lifesaving skills. Of these skills, one of the most important to learn and pass along to family, friends and students is that of situational awareness. So important in fact, pmci decided to invite a special subject matter expert to join us and discuss his new book on the topic! - ts.

ATTACKSENSE UPDATE – PEER TO PEER TRAINING

If you’re a regular reader of PMCI then you’ll know that some of the contributors, especially those in the UK where access to live fire training is limited, have been making good use of their “6mm” tools to keep their skills and drills up to date with the AttackSense Smart target System, and now it looks like things are getting even more interesting with live peer to peer “ranking data” available! -BT

CHANGING THE TRAINING DYNAMIC WITH THE REALISTIC TARGET COMPANY

Throughout my law enforcement career, the standard training for our department, as with many agencies across our state, consisted of a static range with a solid color (black, blue, or green) human silhouette known as a B-27 target. It was only during my regular training as part of the SWAT team away from the patrol, upper brass, and investigations personnel in which things were a bit more “dynamic”.

MICROTECH SCARAB

In the knife community, there is perhaps nothing more captivating than the “SWWWICK” sound of an automatic knife. Whether it’s the classic linage of the stiletto switchblade from our favorite gangster movies or if it’s the mystique of being banned in several states, the automatic knife remains on the top of every blade fan’s “must have list”. -TS

RUGER-57

Late December of 2019, Ruger Firearms threw the gun industry for a loop by announcing a new semi-auto pistol chambered in 5.7x28mm aptly named the Ruger-57.

6MM TRAINING – SAFE TRAINING WITH GLOCK

Even when it comes to “6mm Training” there are moments when only “the real thing” will do, and although there are many pistols out there that will do the job, when it comes to training with a Glock, why not just train with a Glock? Bill gets hands on with a righteous 6mm replica in the form of the officially licenced Glock 17 Gen 4 from Umarex. -BT-
