It's very easy to find, just south of 12 mile on Cambell, across the street from a school.
.
When: Saturday, October 31, 9:30 am
What to bring: Lots of various CC and OC rigs and handguns.
***Handguns to be used in the movie MUST be unloaded, preferably with the slide locked back and in a case as an added safety precaution. ***
Lunch will be available across the street at the Royal Cafe, but you can also pack one, or leave before then.
I’ve mentioned before that I thought it would be a good idea to make a video on how to select a handgun and holster, or how to select a holster, or how to safely use what someone might already have. What happened to me last year with my CZ, and the ND incident that happened recently convinced me we should probably do it. So basically the main point here is to consider safety. Things like capacity and accuracy probably aren't so important to discuss.
I was talking to Mark Cortis from the Wild West Academy CPL training school, and he agreed with me, saying that students ask him all the time about how to select a holster and/or handgun. He and I and a couple people he works with ate lunch today to talk about this. Everyone there agreed it would be a good idea. The thing is, they’re mostly concealed carriers, so doing this movie from the perspective of both CC and OC will require our assistance.
The idea is that not only will it provide possible recruits to MOC, and business to the WWA, it could also provide useful information to anyone who looks it up on youtube. We’re planning on filming it with Mark’s VADO, which is a handy little HD video camera.
As I said up top, if you come please bring lots of handguns and holsters so that they can all be compared. This is still in the planning stages, and any input is highly appreciated. We want to make a good and informative video. This is the rough draft of the outline I’ve made.
Selecting a holster and handgun, a brief video by Michigan open carriers and the Wild West Academy.
Approximately 30 minutes long, but longer if needed.
Done as a panel discussion, with separate demonstrations on drawing techniques also with possible later live fire demos. To be edited and chopped up later, perhaps splicing the demo's straight into the panel discussion.
Subjects will include, but are not limited to
All types of holsters, and their safe, proper, and effective use. IWB, shoulder, OWB, all levels of retention holsters. Specific analysis on:
- Cost
- Safety
- Comfort
- Speed
- Durability
- Concealability and/or retention where applicable
- How to use properly and what role it’s best suited for
All types of decent handguns that someone might have, from a repro colt walker to a Ruger SR9, and how to carry them safely. Evaluating each for
- Drop safety
- Cost
- Safe and proper carry condition
- Proper ways to load and unload
Also possible to go over will be magazine pouches and gun belts.
Evil Creamsicle already told me he'd get involved, but who else is interested in helping?
