TAKE YOUR TRAINING TO THE NEXT LEVEL
People frequently tell me that it is very difficult to get to the range do to their busy schedules and so they ask me if there is anything they can do away from the range to help them shoot better at the range or become better combat shooters for real life situations.
Also, I commonly get told that the importance of dry fire and other non-range training is understood, but it simply isn't interesting enough to WANT to do day in and day out. Fortunately, I have the solution to your problems BELOW.
YOU MUST understand that how and what you train OFF the range is far more important than how you train ON the range. The good news is that your training really comes down to just a few essentials, which can be done in a very fun and engaging way (away from the range), that can take your shooting to the next level.
The items below are things that I personally use right now (after 15+ years of experiments and trying all kinds of stuff) and what I recommend to anyone who wants to improve their shooting and self-defense.
BONUS: Some of the tools are downright fun!
Don’t feel like you need to get each item right away, but I’m sure you’ll be adding more as you see the positive results!
Check out the extremely VALUABLE training tools and other personal protection items that can help you ensure your safety. Be sure to check out all categories (firearm training, vision training, legal protection, etc) below.

SIRT training pistol
Train more often, more effectively in a more practical environment, your home. The SIRT Training Pistol is designed for high-volume self-diagnostic training with no set up and safe sustainable training. Make better use of your live fire rounds when you’ve already got hundreds of reps in your house.
Mantis X System
MantisX easily attaches to the accessory rail of any live fire, dry fire, airsoft, or CO2 firearm, just like any other firearm accessory.
It tracks the movement of your handgun's barrel during the trigger pull, and shots are then grouped according to movement pattern similarity. The app will then provide suggestions for
Knowing what is happening before the trigger breaks is critical and the MantisX is the only device that can tell you things not even an instructor could see. Click

LASR Software
Get instant and precise feedback for your dry-fire practice using the LASR feature rich and well-reviewed software. LASR works with any targets and any laser training device, and runs on any computer, tablet or phone. Using the LASR sofware is a very fun way to seriously increase your shooting skills quickly. Dry fire training will NEVER be boring again! Grab a SIRT pistol while your're at it and never worry about dry fire training boredom again.

LaserLyte Trainer Target
This laser targer system makes a great addition to the SIRT pistol. When you hit the target with a laser trainer like SIRT, it will tell you how accurate you shoot and how fast you shoot. The target records your shots and displays them in the order they were shot. The 62 LEDs will light up showing your exact group of shots. The shots are lit up in the order they were fired. Ready, Draw, Fire! The shot timer will give you a few seconds to get ready then it starts the timer. When the target is hit, the timer is stopped and the time is shown. The virtual target will not need to be replaced, you will only need to change the batteries after a few thousand shots. Train at home with the comfort of your favorite couch and air conditioning. Save time on trips to the range. Save money on ammo and gas. Click HERE to learn more or purchase.
Training dummy cartriges/rounds
If you have trained with me then you know how valuable these "dummy rounds" can be. There is no better way to SAFELY practice loading and unloading your firearms. These are also valuable for more advanced training such as learning to clear malfunctions and learning to identify if you are anticipating recoil. Pick some HERE.

Vision Training Aids
Vision Training String
I work with a LOT of students who have a difficult time with aiming. Many people have a difficult time learning to aim with both eyes open or even worse can't seem to properly line up their sights to their dominant eye! The Vision Training String is the perfect tool for improving your ability to focus and concentrate properly on your front sight. If you or someone you know is having a difficult time with proper aiming put up a vision training string and see how quickly your aiming improves. Get a vision training string HERE.
Senaptec Strobe
The Senaptec Strobe glasses are desinged to train the connections between an individual's eyes, brain, and body. They are advanced training tools that use liquid crystal technology which allows the lenses to flicker between clear and opaque. The flickering removes visual information and forces the person to process more efficiently. These glasses have a HUGE training benefit in the visual sport of shooting but they also have extreme value in many other sports and are used my high level professional athletes. There are ton of sports related articles regarding this high tech eyewear. Check them out HERE.
Legal and Life Saving
US Law Shield Membership - Legal protection for self-defense actions
CAT Combat Application Tourniquet - GEN 7
The patented C-A-T is a one-handed tourniquet. Tests proved that the C-A-T completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. The C-A-T utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. A hook and loop windlass retention strap is then applied, securing the windlass to maintain pressure during casualty evacuation. The C-A-T's unique dual securing system avoids the use of screws and clips which can become difficult to operate under survival stress or where fine motor skills are compromised.

It is what we use in our law enforcement training academy and I can attest to its effectiveness. Pick some up HERE.

Suggested Reading
The Law of Self Defense Book

Concealed Carry Clothing
Kore Essentials Gun Belt
Concealed Carry Purse
I am not a huge proponet of concealed carry in a bag, a backpack, etc. I prefer carrying on body. However, there are times when it is your only option. Ladies if you want to carry in a bag or a purse it needs to be a bag or a purse that is designed specifically for concealed carry of a handgun. Check out the link HERE to see some options.
