DM Placard Systems | Limitless Possibilities
I've ran a 16" for so long now that going with anything shorter just feels odd. I've definitely trained with way shorter and taken indoor and low light classes with shorter but now practically all training is done with a 16". BUT.... When running suppressed I've been sticking with a 12.5" with a surefire can that turns the barrel into a 16.5". I tried running a low light course with my LWRC 16" with suppressor and it was definitely too much.... Kept getting stuck in corners and bumping my rifle off of walls. Switched back to my BCM 12.5" suppressed.
Did you guys get rid of the extra row of Molle covering the tubes on your cummerbund?
Big homie panting just talking about a mount...
Will you be opening up the schedule for DE classes soon?
But, but, Butt woot told me, my index finger was my safety Saaarnt'...😂
I’m surprised DM associates with GBRS clowns.
Nah...
Before you take a CQB class, "I'm really good at checkers". After you take a CQB class, "Man, I suck at chess".
That’s right
I think everyone needs to pay more.attention to fundamentals before ever going to specialty.classes
Our opinion is to learn the fundamentals while learning the application. But yes basic weapon handling should come first.
If you aren’t teaching to shoot through drywall you aren’t serious about winning.
I believe in the 20” gun with every fiber of my being. Mainly because it turns training ammo into duty ammo and is really easy to shoot and easy on components. I take the AR as Gene Stoner envisioned it, because he knew exactly what he was doing.
Hey fellas. How's the compatibility with Crye AVS. This is a must have.
4d pads more comfy but a big down grade in impact protection, you think you are being a tactical tuff guy by mocking a “skateboard” liner but i am guessing you have no clue the impacts those are engineered to take. A great visual would be go watch X games freestyle air competition 5:27 in either skateboarding or BMX, i’ll wager these guys are taking way more frequent and severe hits that any tactical dudes short of actually being shot in the head of course. Anyhow congrats on your impact downgrade.
Why does team Wendy say you have to buy the ops core specific screw with rails if you use the original hardware?
Would selecting ‘Yes’ on the option for Loop Lined Interior on the cummerbunds mean stuff can be molle’d from the inside? If we select ‘No’ would that limit you to external molle attachments only? Thanks! Will be picking up a whole MEPC set up asap
Overall, your video is good. There’s some things I have discrepancy about but the biggest discrepancy I’m gonna put are you talking about in general or are you talking about law enforcement or military? Those are two different animals in general you know that means but I want to say what mean by that is civilian like civil unrest. Did you see the movie Civil War? That was some horrible fighting with a Boogaloo boys
A 277 fury from Sigg sure fix that problem, I do see what you’re talking about. You know better as I weapon is a tool. You got to bring the tool to the job long as you know what you are dealing with
Lasers that’s a good one. We are actually moving away from lasers now because the enemy has make vision and and thermals now they can see lasers now we’ve been moving away from them back in 2019

In my unit, we went to a pistol light works well. Did a few modifications. Did you know Ashley made a new light that is about 4 mm thick and flat has a 2000 luminescence and will be hitting the market in 2026

Now we go into partner you say you’re in a team right a team right are you talking about a partner that you never worked with? That’s also in a different team right then you should know better. Same training communication even this is military law-enforcement you always do runs right so in that aspect, there should be nothing said about it now if it’s a random dude like Ukraine, for example or different country or 2020 BLM riot. Different person no training then that’s a different story.

I’m glad you went into depth about concussion. That is the most important thing you need to talk about.

wow what a cool belt. ~ 8 week lead time lmao.
Thanks for the information. At 9:45 are you saying “solder” like a soldering iron?
Sold out 😭😭
What light?
Left hand setup capable?
Problem, you cant hardly work on mechanics and marksmanship drills because the range is full of scared fudds. Second problem, cant find shoothouses in the area that arent LE only paid for by state funding.
When more classes??
Solid information man. Where are you guys located?
Sick build
I have been fortunate enough to have trained under a variety of instructors. The ones with the most 'hands on' experience have the same emphasis as this video (and they are few).
I feel attacked lol
@thinlinedefense
If the odds favor you NEVER having to "operate" in a CQB environment, then a 16" barrel is great for whatever you're doing-- including that .001% off-chance of you HAVING to do CQB
Amen and thank you Tim.
But Tim, Nick said that if I do the tactical walk and throw in a few hondo rolls, I'll be special something or something....
Groucho walk = tactical turtle 🐢
Good points!
I like the term "professionalism" when you discussed staying at low ready until the target is properly identified, but I think its more than that. A big part of that is proficiency and confidence. If you know you can get behind the gun and send off a couple well placed shots lightning quick, you'll feel more comfortable keeping your muzzle low longer.
100%. Proficiency and confidence are what people should get the most out of flat range trainings, hence the "up drill" but many people fail to achieve so to begin with. They forget any of that when stepping into 3D space and hold the rifles in front of their faces, because the lack of "proficiency and confidence" makes them feel they are never ready for a fight so they want to pose themselves in the most "ready" stance they know. I've seen guys stressing the hell out of themselves by doing the "tactical walk" and drenched in their own sweat wearing T shirts in 30F night.
@@RandomNylonGuy Exactly. That's what I try to instill in my students from the start: subconscious mastery of the fundamentals with conscious awareness of one's abilities. Obviously gunfights induce stress, but one should never be doubting thier abilities. That's exactly why we do so many repetitions in practice - not just to build proficiency, but the confidence that comes with it.
That’s right
I just got my belt and I'm confused why you wouldn't reverse the placement of the pad and the velcro loop piece. Doing it the way in the video makes a large portion of the pad go ontop of the excess main belt when donning on the front 0:25 . Wouldn't you want the pad against your body instead of the non-grippy placeholder?
why were out of breath this whole video
Ngl i can't get over how it looks
