| 0:00.0 | What's up guys, Kevin Estella here with FeelCrafts for 5-O. I want to recognize some of |
| 0:18.2 | our sponsors that make this podcast about to hear possible. |
| 0:22.9 | First one is 6-hour. 6-hour is the leading name in the United States when it comes to firearms |
| 0:27.7 | and training. Solid solid folks at the 6-hour Academy. I don't think they get enough credit. |
| 0:32.5 | These dudes are awesome. These gals are awesome because let's not forget Hannibaladou, who |
| 0:36.1 | is a total badass Chika. She's over there along with all my good buddies from the 6-hour |
| 0:41.6 | Academy. Guys, SIG makes some fantastic pistols. I've been playing around lately with the |
| 0:47.6 | SIG M400 Tread and that AR-15 platform. I mean, it's got great fit and finished. Super |
| 0:54.3 | accurate. I've let a bunch of students try it in courses. Very, very pleased with it. |
| 0:59.4 | And I've never, never had an issue knock on wood. The other gun that is one of my favorites |
| 1:04.8 | that I travel with a lot is the SIG 365. SIG 365 is a fantastic firearm and that it's |
| 1:14.0 | a striker-fired pistol. That pistol is one that you can change into the small configuration |
| 1:21.7 | or the large configuration of the standard or the XL. You can go from a 10-round mag to |
| 1:26.9 | a 15-round mag. You can do a lot with the 365 XL and you can also put a weapon light on |
| 1:32.3 | it like the TLR 7 sub making it a great backwards gun. So check that one out if you get a chance. |
| 1:38.0 | And like I said, check out the 6-hour Academy. It's up in Epping, New Hampshire. If you |
| 1:42.4 | go up there, stay at the Exeter in, eat at Goodie Coals, swing over to Kidri, go shopping |
| 1:47.2 | over there. You can make a whole vacation out of going to the SIG Academy and I'm excited |
| 1:51.0 | to be up there this September. I'll be teaching Modern Survival Skills September 9th, which |
| 1:56.9 | that class as of this recording is over halfway filled and it will be a great time being |
| 2:02.0 | up there for the first time as an instructor at the school where I train 20-something |
| 2:08.1 | time. So really excited back up there. The other podcast sponsor I want to recognize is |
