Shooting Drill: Old Bakersfield PD Qual
When I first saw it, I realized that the Old Bakersfield PD Qual would become a staple in my shooting repertoire. Within ten rounds you can do a very good assessment of where you stand as a defensive pistol shooter. If I ever teach handgun classes, may very well be the opening drill of the class. Let’s take look at it.
Shooting Drill: I Failed the Old Air Marshals Qual (FAMS TPC)
The old Air Marshals Qual, aka the FAMS TPC (Federal Air Marshals Tactical Pistol Course) is reputed to be one of the most difficult qualification courses in law enforcement. In this installment, I demonstrate…and fail it.
NPE Carry: What is a Non-Permissive Environment (NPE)?
We have already gone through several articles in our NPE Carry series. We’ve talked about a gun, some holsters, and have at least a few more articles to go in the series. But we haven’t discussed what a non-permissive environment is. So let’s take a look at that.
Well-Rounded Shooting Drill: The BATFE Handgun Qual
Today we take a look at another shooting qualification, this one from the BATFE. In my opinion this is one of the most well-rounded shooting qualifications I’ve shot in a while. Close-range, SHO, WHO, 25-yards, malfunction stages – it seems to have a little bit of everything. The qual is the BATFE Handgun Qual and I found it John Daub’s excellent Drills, Qualifications, Standards, and Tests.

Shooting Drill: The Hackathorn Standards
Today I bring you one of the most complex shooting standards out there: The Hackathorn Standards. Infamous for its difficulty and complexity, this one has been on my list to try for quite some time. It requires a fairly complicated range setup, but if you can shoot it, it will test your skill.
VIDEO: 10-Round Skill Check – The Gunsite 250 Drill
The Gunsite 250 Drill is a difficult drill with demanding time standards. It only requires 10-rounds, though, and is a great, low-round-count drill that will quickly assess your skills.

VIDEO: NPE Carry – The Kel-Tec P32 Deep Concealment Pistol
I recently decided to do a deep-dive into non-permissive environment (NPE) carry. This is the world of hideout guns and backup guns and pocket carry and ankle holsters that I know thing about. I recently realized that this is an area of firearms/shooting that I want to know more about. This video will kick off 2024 our NPE Carry series with an in-depth look at the Kel-Tec P32 deep concealment pistol.
