Sig Sauer Academy: Rely on Your Training

February 23, 2018 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Originally posted July 20, 2015. The saying goes that you don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. I train at the fantastic Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire. I'm looking forward to a three day precision rifle course there in September. Challenge yourself with some new training as often as you can. It keeps your mind sharp and is loads of fun. … [Read more...]

What Does the New Single Day Background Check Record Mean?

November 28, 2017 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

On Black Friday, Americans swarmed gun shops across America, buying all manner of firearms. The FBI reported that the day saw a record 203,086 requests for instant background checks (NICS). Background checks aren't a perfect measure of gun sales because some requests are rejected, and some requests are for more than one firearm. But as a measure of intensity for the firearms market, the NICS number is superb. But what does all that gun buying mean? Americans are possibly afraid of future laws restricting gun purchases. But they are also keenly aware of their own survival responsibility … [Read more...]

Sig Sauer: Army Strong

February 2, 2017 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Congratulations to Sig Sauer chosen by the U.S. Army as their handgun supplier. I have owned a Sig for years, specifically their 9mm P226 and have taken a number of training courses at Sig Sauer Academy. Meghann Myers writes at Army Times: Half a decade into its search for a new handgun, the Army has chosen Sig Sauer's version of the Modular Handgun System, according to a Thursday announcement from the Army. The new sidearm will replace the M9 Beretta, the Army's pistol of choice for more than 30 years. "I am tremendously proud of the Modular Handgun System team," said Army acquisition … [Read more...]

Get Your Gun and Your Training Now, Part V

March 30, 2016 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

  Shot-down at the counter! “I got turned down. I need a license to carry card. Joke,” texted my brother-in-law Jason to me a couple of weeks ago. Welcome to Massachusetts. Jason is from Montana, where you can pretty much buy a gallon of milk along with your ammo no questions asked. He knew I was looking for some .22 LR ammo. He spotted a couple of boxes and texted me if I wanted them, hence the “I got turned down” text. He’s got the card now thanks to “America’s Guest,” as he’s apt to call a politician, for providing the ammunition/motivation.. Get your guns and your … [Read more...]

Get Your Gun and Your Training Now, Part IV

March 25, 2016 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

With the potential appointment of the radical anti-gun judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Americans' individual right to bear arms is only one decision away from being history. In this series I've already explained that you need to find the right gun for you, and then get trained properly in how to use it. Once you know how to safely handle your firearm, it's time to begin working on your accuracy. This is where practice begins to take precedent over enthusiasm. It's easy to get jazzed up about going to the gun shop and loading up on new equipment, and it's not hard to sit through a … [Read more...]

Get Your Gun and Your Training Now, Part III

March 23, 2016 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

I've already told you that time may be running out on the second Amendment protections reinforced by the Supreme Court verdict in D.C. vs. Heller. With President Obama's nomination of the anti-gun Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court to replace long-time protector of the second Amendment Justice Antonin Scalia, Americans' rights are under threat. You need to get your gun and training now, before it's too late. On Monday I explained that finding the right firearm for you is of the utmost importance. With the help of Sig Sauer Academy Director Adam Painchaud, you should be well on your … [Read more...]

March 21, 2016 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Last week I told you about Barack Obama's radical nomination to the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. I urged you to get your guns and training now. In your quest to become a proficient, effective marksman and to gain the ability to protect yourself and your family, it's important to own the right firearm. Here Sig Sauer Academy's Director Adam Painchaud discusses how to find the proper pistol fit. A bulky gun, or one that disappears in your hand will hurt your accuracy. Get it right the first time. … [Read more...]
