Travis Hayley, formerly of Magpul Dynamics, has produced an instructional video on his own - I don't think I've posted this before:

Handgun Grip

TV: In 'Homeland,' It's Hard To Know Whom To Trust

Movies: A new trailer for War Horse -- AICN and JoBlo and Apple

I think it reveals a rather major spoiler.

The stage production on Broadway.

Sarge's shotgun should be arriving tomorrow.

Some men may not have the funds to purchase a firearm or take classes in self-defense or the time for those classes. But what of those men who simply abdicate their responsibility to know how to defend themselves and those close to them, believing that calling 911 will suffice? I think such men would deserve the opprobrium they'd receive from men who take this responsibility seriously. (I won't even comment on those Catholic pacificists who think that it is noble and holy to lave their families to the mercy of their attackers. Or those who would wish to see the general populace disarmed.)

Can such men be entrusted with the defense of the commonwealth, when they won't even prepare themselves to defend their families? At the moment, I hardly see any reason to collaborate with such men or to be in community with them. Have European and Uhmerican men become so effete?

My guess is that it's the same material that they presented to AR15.com.

Magpul Dynamics has a new DVD set coming out

It's available in February. I don't see it in their online store yet.

Their catalog.

Chris Costa Magpul Class


He seems very... "excited" about the class material -- I've noticed something about him in this and other videos. I'm not sure how to explain it though. Sarge prefers Travis Haley.

The October issue of the Japanese magazine Combat has a special on Magpul Dynamics seminars. (I think I have the correct title -- I'll verify next time I'm at Kin0kuniya. Nvm. It is right.) When I looked at this issue several weeks ago, I didn't know who the instructors were. Yesterday I could identify Travis Haley and Chris Costa.

(What exactly is the relationship between Magpul Industries and Magpul Dynamics? The sharing of the same name is not simply coincidental. Magpul sells MD stuff, like the logo patch. MD is a branch of MI, but what is the corporate hierarchy like?)

Here is a review of a recent training session in San Jose.

I think the article stated Chris Costa uses a LWRC carbine (with some Magpul components?). I don't pay that much attention to guns, so I don't know.

*Edit*
Sorry, it's not Combat but the October issue of Arms Magazine. (I double-checked when I was at Kinokuniya SF this morning. 30 minutes not enough time to browse both floors.)
