The Tenicor Podcast Is Live!

This is the premiere episode of a new podcast featuring Mike and special guest Jon Patton from The Gun Collective (@TheGunCollective). The description highlights Jon Patton as a valuable source for industry and legal news related to firearms. The hosts are seeking listener input on potential podcast names and preferred release days. A minor technical issue with a camera is mentioned.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
