Welcome to another thrill-packed, soon-to-be award-winning episode of Student of the Gun Radio. Several new products are being displayed in the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas and during our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc we will discuss one of several exciting new additions to the EOTech line of optics.
We have yet another Coffee Corner from Blackout Coffee. Please purchase some Blackout Coffee using the STUDT20 promo code to help support our show.
For our Coffee Corner reading, Professor Paul will consider the opening chapter of the Book of Five Rings and how it applies to us in our modern world.
Continuing on with our series on the evolution of firearms training, Paul will address the practice of the "slingshot" method for running the slide on a semi-automatic handgun. Where did this practice originate and is it still valid today?
