Instructor Dave Tim discusses the pros and cons of piston versus direct impingement (DI) AR-15 systems, favoring DI for most applications due to standardization and cost. He also details his preferred Glock trigger setup using a Gen 3 trigger bar and a factory - connector for reliability and consistency. Additional topics include the utility of weapon-mounted lights on carry guns, the necessity of ongoing training beyond permit-to-carry courses, the value of electronic ear protection, considerations for defensive ammunition, and the importance of carrying a round in the chamber.
