The Blind Swordsman Drill, demonstrated by Massad Ayoob and Ken Hackathorn, focuses on refining trigger control by removing visual input. By closing their eyes, shooters isolate the tactile sense to improve their trigger press, aiming to eliminate the subconscious urge to 'jerk' the trigger.

This review tests the DPM Systems Recoil Reduction System on a Beretta 96 Inox in .40 S&W. While the system is compatible with Beretta 92, 96, and 98 models, the felt recoil reduction is subtle. Initial testing showed a failure to feed, possibly due to limp-wristing or break-in, but reliability improved with extended use. The speaker concludes the DPM system is a quality option for Beretta 96 .40 S&W owners, though the 9mm Beretta 92 remains a smoother shooter.

The SIG Sauer P226 Legion is presented as a premium 9mm handgun with notable upgrades like G10 grips, tritium night sights, and a custom Grayguns trigger. While generally performing well with an exceptionally smooth DA/SA trigger and short reset, a single failure to extract was observed, attributed to a light-loaded round. The MSRP of $1099 is considered good value for the included enhancements.
