The reasons for wanting to choose a Primary Weapon can be anything from a home defense situation to a full blown SHTF situation like riots or extreme natural disasters where rule of law may not have a strong hold. In these situations having a “Primary Weapon” or “Go To” weapon is a good idea. Now [...]

I was attending a CCW class and the students were talking about what gun they planned to carry. A some point a student suggested his CCW would not get dirty so if it worked or not with dirt and mud on it did not matter to him.

I have a different point of view on this subject. I figure we never know what might happen and we do not always get to choose when and where a situation might happen where we are required to use our sidearm.

So in order to prove my choice of a Glock as a CCW pistol, I offered to drop my Glock in the mud we were standing in, and I was confident it would still work no matter what. Of course the Glock worked fine, but it took a while to get back to town for a good cleaning. Here is what it looked like after just a quick cleaning on the mountain after being dropped in wet mud. This was no serious challenge to the Glock (or most any modern CCW pistol) but none of the students was willing to drop their guns to see if they would work too..

This is not disrespect for my sidearm, I have great respect for it. I am confident my Glocks will work when / if I ever need them to because I am willing, and have tested them like this. Can your CCW gun work with some mud on it? Have you ever tested it?

Blade-Tech Industries makes these yellow training barrels for many popular pistols. These training barrels are solid yellow plastic, and are well made and very solid. We have used one in our Glock pistols for years, but now we can use them in Smith & Wesson M&P pistols too. We had a chance to test out and photograph this M&P 9/40 Training Barrel from Blade-Tech and it is just as effective and works as well as we expected it to. Benefits of the Blade-Tech Training barrel over a solid plastic / rubber training pistol for us include; Size, Function and Versatility. Since the Blade-Tech training system consists of simply the yellow plastic barrel, it is very portable, and lends its self to staying in the range bag all the time, so we always have them available. The training barrel protrudes just a bit from the barrel so others can see the guns with them are in-operable. The Bladetech Barrel allows for complete trigger manipulation which is a big plus over the fixed triggers on most rubber / plastic training guns. The ability to swap out the barrel on your actual carry gun is another big plus for us. We have certain modifications made to the pistol like lights and lasers, which do not always fit on plastic / rubber training pistols. The biggest issue for Smith & Wesson M&P owners is the removable backstrap. Training pistols are almost always made in the medium size, so if you normally shoot with small or large, you would be out of luck. Replacing a barrel for training offers the versatility. of practice with your gun and accessories. Blade-Tech Training barrel costs well under $20 shipped to your door which makes it one of the best investments a shooter can make in their own skills development in our opinion.
