Glock Easy Trainer
Most
gun owners practice firing their gun at home with the firearm unloaded.
This practice, called dryfiring, helps to improve various shooting
skills. Glock owners, unfortunately, have to “rack” or “cycle” the slide
of the gun after each trigger squeeze when dryfiring the gun. This is
tedious and can create bad habits. The Glock Easy Trainer tool installs
onto the Glock gun in less than 1 minute and blocks the trigger from
breaking thus allowing the shooter to press the trigger repeatedly
without ever having to rack the slide. It also acts as a safety system
in that it will prevent the firearm from firing a live round.

Tactical PE: Awareness for women's self defense
-Author Andrew Thomas
Being aware of your environment is the number one women's self defense tip. After all if you can avoid the conflict all together then that has to be you're best options. Most people need to be taught these observation skills.
In demand tactical trainer for elite government agencies fbi, dea, dhs and tsa helps regular men and women of ANY age or ability defend themselves so they can stay safe and get home. Learn more @ https://bit.ly/RealLifeSelfDefense0823
Learn to Project Confidence.
Learning about ladies self defense is something that can help you project confidence in a situation. If you have a lot of confidence, it doesn't matter what the situation is and if you know self defense - you won't look like an easy target if you're confident. This means you'll have to use whatever ladies self defense tactics you know after all. This means you'll have to use whatever ladies self defense tactics you know after all. However, confidence may help you scare away some attackers.
Scan Your Environment.
A very important skill you can learn in your ladies self defense classes is to be able to look at your surroundings to see if there is anything to be concerned about. One thing you can do is make sure you can always see the entrances. Look for anybody who looks shady or for people who may be approaching you in an aggressive way. This can give you a head start in running away before you get into trouble.
Beware of Isolated Places.
One thing to remember when considering ladies self defense is to always avoid isolated places. If you can't avoid it and need to go to a place like a parking garage, try not to go by yourself. The reason for this is that attackers often lurk in places like allies and parking garages.
Learn to Trust Your Instincts.
Most human beings are built with the innate ability to detect dangerous situations. However, most people have blocked this instinct out, or they simply don't know how to use it. However, if you want to learn ladies self defense, this can be a good ally. Learn to pay attention to your instinct. There might be a reason why the person in the corner of the room gives you the creeps. Don't take any chances.
Where are the Exits?
Observing your environment for ladies self defense includes always knowing where the exits are and being near them. If you can't avoid it and need to go to a place like a parking garage, try not to go by yourself. The idea is that if you need to leave quickly to get away from someone, the exit will be accessible.
From a ladies self defense standpoint, it is important to observe your surroundings. It will help you get the upper hand if a situation arises where you need to use defense tactics. Or if you do need to use ladies self defense techniques, you'll have plenty of time.

Concealed Carry Featuring: Shooter Ready Challenge - Hard Cover Targets - May 2023
May 2023 Shooter Ready Challenge
We've been publishing dry fire training and challenge videos since October 2019 to help the average gun carrier take their skills to the next level. This series of videos is called “Shooter Ready Challenge,” and it's entirely free to watch and take advantage of.
Each segment of the Shooter Ready Challenge is sponsored by BarrelBlok and L.A.S.R.
Every month, you get to learn new skills from the host of the Concealed Carry Podcast, Riley Bowman.
We published the May video this week.
This time, the SRC video is called Hard Cover Targets. Hard cover targets, are targets that have portions of the hit zone covered by a ‘no shoot' zone. The ‘no shoot' zones can simulate a threat behind cover, or a ‘friendly' partially covering the threat. In competition, impacts in the no hit zone could count as a miss, or maybe a zero. In the defensive context, rounds impacting the no hit zone could simulate hitting an innocent bystander.
Either way, hard cover targets provide the opportunity to work on many fundamentals, one of which is throttle control.

Make sure to check out LASR software by visiting the Shooter Ready Challenge Page. What's cool about that page is that all the other past challenge videos dating from October 2019 through this month are also available for free.
As a side benefit to taking part in upping your proficiency as a shooter, everyone who takes part gets entered to win a special prize from us. There's no telling what this month's prize is, but we've given away some really cool things, ranging from hearing protection to ammo.
This month's Winner of the drawing is Mike H. from AZ. He won a BarrelBlok like the one often used in the Shooter Ready Challenges. The BarrelBlok is a fantastic tool to add to your dry fire training regime.
And if you weren't sure, dry fire training is one of the best ways you can increase your odds of winning a gunfight, is totally safe as long as you do it with an empty gun, and is something that all the pro-shooters recommend you do.
Have you ever participated in the SRC challenge? Let me know in the comments below.
