REPOST FROM @COMBATSHOOTINGMETHOD

Those who trained with us know our emphasis on thinking like insurgents, with a strong focus on working as a poor man (The "Travailler en Pauvre" philosophy) as well as being self sufficient "in the moment".

Let's have a quick look at the fighting rifle: in addition to the mandatory sling and light, we strongly believe in having an upgraded pistol grip that allows for storing crucial equipment.

The below, in our humble opinion, is mandatory:

1) Spare hearing protection: while foam plugs are marginally effective, when the alternative is hearing loss, they get the job done
2) Spare battery(ies) for your equipment: whether it's a Red Dot or a Low Power Variable Scope (LPVO), IR illuminator, light or laser, those technological marvels require a power source. When their onboard batteries die out, they will need a replacement ASAP
3) Allen or Torx or XYZ wrenches: sometimes, your blue loctited equipment decides to GTFO or loosen. Having the necessary wrenches allows you to perform immediate repairs if needed.

In this particular example, this AK104 clone has the excellent AK Master Mount Generation 2, a Tapco Galil side folder clone, and a Surefire flashlight. Thus, its Magpul AK+ pistol grip contains the following: 1x pair of foam ear pro, 2x CR123 batteries, and 2x allen wrenches (one for the folder and one for the side rail) in case we need em.

You're on your own, so deprive Murphy of his little pleasures by having everything you might need on hand.

N. B: when packing the batteries, ensure that there is no chance of contact with the wrenches. You don't want them to short-circuit or drain, so use a small bag or put an insulating layer between the batteries and any metal part. Plugs work fine...

The thumb: it's a wonderful tool for disabling, maiming, or killing your opponent(s) depending on the requires use of force protocols.

It's also an excellent target whose destruction can facilitate your ability to use the aforementioned protocols.

Understanding its anatomy and applications is key.

Completed 15 hours of Zoom private training with the one and only Jim Armstrong @raw_combatives over the last few months. What an experience!

Jim is, first and foremost, an amazing human being that I am proud to call a friend.

He's also an excellent teacher in unarmed combatives, especially with regards to proper structure, movement, and posture.

Last, he's creator of "Mr. Darcy", a deceptive yet brutal way of getting your opponent to "see" the error of his ways. My students will know what I'm talking about 😜

I highly recommend training under Jim, either in person, or via distance learning. Your life (and not just your fighting abilities) WILL improve.

***The following is the first of a few posts on conspicuous marks related to concealed and deniable carry. This one is pertaining to the AIWB shirt marks.***

When the majority of people conceal carry a handgun, they pay extra attention to their firearm signature, also called printing.

However, one of the most insidious "tells" is of a passive nature. Worn enough, your gun's rear sight will slowly erode your tshirt or polo shirt's fabric around the area where your rear sight is located, and create one to two small holes. Those holes are conspicuous and will betray you, especially in a Non-Permissive Environment where guns are outlawed.

For that reason, always check your clothes prior to putting them on.

There are some ways to mitigate or eliminate that risk:

1) Select clothing made out of thicker material
2) Rotate cover garnments often to reduce chafing from occurring
3) Choose or print designs that facilitate the concealment of such holes
4) Have your tailor or seamstress sew (if feasible and discreet) a protective band around the area most commonly affected.

Like the proverb says, the Devil is in the details...

The international traveller should research the tools and the gear used by agents of the state as well as criminals in his host country, and strive to be at least familiar with the use in case a battlefield pickup or procurement on site becomes necessary.

Looking at this picture from Egypt, the most common type of pistol you will encounter with the police there is the Helwan 9mm, a licensed copy of the Beretta Model 1951. Knowing how to operate one would be wise if you travel there often...

REPOST FROM @COMBATSHOOTINGMETHOD One of the draw

REPOST FROM @COMBATSHOOTINGMETHOD

One of the drawbacks of living in a hot and very humid environment such as Lebanon is that, from May to November, you will be be sweating with just a t-shirt on.

For those carrying firearms, especially in Appendix Inside the Waist (AIWB), this means that, after the end of a long day, your holster and gun will have been in contact with two things that can make it rust: water and salt (ie. Sweat).

Looking at the post's picture, you can see that, even while most of the firearm is covered, its muzzle will still come in contact with your body (and thus rust-facilitating fluids).

Therefore, to prevent this from happening, it is crucial to perform day to day oiling and cleaning for your handgun, especially if it's blued.

Moreover, do not neglect to clean your kydex holster, especially those screws, which WILL rust. (I use an oily rag to also clean the internal of the holster to get rid of dust and lint as well).

One option to significantly reduce the chance of your lifesaving equipment from becoming a hunk of oxydized metal is to cerakote it. I've had Patrick from @cerakotelb work on my DDG19 and I've been extremely satisfied with the results. Give him a shout and you won't regret it.

Most people look for a parking spot but never cons

Most people look for a parking spot but never consider HOW they park their car, especially in underground parking lots common to malls, hospitals, hotels, etc.

Here are a couple of tips:

1) Always take the extra time to park in reverse. This will make it so much easier to get out of the parking spot in a hurry

2) If possible, park in direct line of sight and close enough to the entrance/exit of the venue you're visiting, so you can find your vehicle ASAP when exiting

3) This tip I learned from my father's cousin: Don't park your car all the way in when you find a spot, leave a little of the front end of your vehicle out so you can ID your car from a distance. (Thank you S. H. F !)

Most people don't consider ease of access of funds

Most people don't consider ease of access of funds as a self defense consideration. It is, however, quite an important one, especially when trying to maintain a low key presence while traveling or in high risk environments. Flashing your cash is one of the easiest ways to attract unsavory characters to you, thus increasing chances of Violence.

We at Salvos Modum like to divide money into immediate access funds, backup funds, emergency funds, and throwaway funds.

In our first pic, we're looking at immediate access funds, which, as the name implies, involves petty cash needed for small purchases and payments, such as paying for a cab, buying consumables, etc. and should be adequate to cover most of your immediate expenses. This source of funds will be placed in your right front pocket for quick access while reducing pickpocketing attempts. Notice how we keep small bills wrapped around larger bills and on the outer layer of the cash bundle. The concave part of the bills is facing up, allowing you to pull the smallest denominations first, leaving larger bills to the end, thus reducing your wealth signature.

Pic 2 shows the inside of the wallet, which is also placed in your right front side pocket for the same reasons outlined above. Backup funds are visible on the left side, divided by denominations. Those will be used for larger purchases, with the wallet opened and funds removed discreetly when needed.

The right side shows your emergency funds, which are concealed inside the wallet's least accessible pocket, and is your get home money in case of an emergency. Please ensure that this money is never spent on useless stuff, as it could save your life.

Pic 3 is your throwaway money, placed inside a disposable wallet, and consists of funds that you'd willingly surrender if mugged, buying you enough time to disengage and escape. This sacrifice money should be placed in your right side rear pocket or as far away from your real cash as possible and is to be dropped while being handed over to an aggressor, resetting his OODA loop and facilitating your Nike Defense.
