This week on the Independence Training Wheel of Death, we discuss “Will 911 Arrive in Time?”

Glen and Gabe discuss the importance of being your own first responder in this weeks WOD. We LOVE our first responders, however in a life threatening situation, seconds and minutes matter and regardless of how fast 911 moves, you still end up being responsible for your own care until they arrive.

Field Maintenance and Tool kits

When going out and using your tools, it’s important to keep a simple cleaning and tool kit somewhere on your kit to help fix or tighten/swap out accessories on your equipment.

This is some of what Justin uses in his personal kit. He keeps his Fix it Sticks and personal cleaning kit in his rucksack or his range bag depending on where he’s working, along with his trusted Leatherman MUT on his body at all times to help him fix issues with his personal system that don’t require extra tools.

What are some of the maintenance items and tools you keep on your kit and why? Let us know what you carry with you in the comments below!

Mini v.s. Full Size Suppressors

Have you ever wondered what to pick when it comes to a full size or “mini” suppressor? Today, we’ll give you some insight on why each are useful and what you might use them on.

Full Size Suppressors:
* Great for SBR/Pistols
* *generally* Quieter
* *generally* less Muzzle Flash

“Mini” Suppressors:
* Shorter
* Lighter
* Great for use on 14.5” + length barrels

At the end of the day, a Full Size can is likely going to be the best bang for your buck, however if you’re in the market for a new can and haven’t given any of the shorter ones a try, we recommend going to your local shop like East Valley Tactical and trying em out for yourself.

What Suppressor do you use and why? Let us know in the comments below!
