For Christmas I received the Magpul Dynamics Art of the Dynamic Handgun DVD set. This features over 300 minutes of handgun training. The DVDs cover everything from basic grip and drawing from the holster to dynamic scenarios and real world applications.

I particularly enjoyed disc three which covers concealed carry (which you know I support from my previous post). Costa and Haley, the class instructors, cover the lifestyle of concealed carry and things like drawing from concealment, holsters, guns and other gear. Also covered are malfunctions. They presented a more streamlined and efficient method of clearing double-feeds and fixing failure to feeds (FTF) than I had previously used. They spend a good bit of time focusing on getting the gun into the fight and keeping it there.

They repeat their motto a couple of times on the DVD, "Amateurs train until they get it right, professionals train until they can't get it wrong." I can't complain with logic like that.

If Magpul Dynamics ever does a class close enough for me to travel to, you can bet I will try to get into it. From what I can tell, these guys look to be the most professional and well trained shooting instructors in the U.S. right now. I can certainly support their techniques way more than that of the Sig Sauer Academy.

You can buy the DVD straight from Magpul and you also have the option of picking their other DVDs as well. Here is the link to the Dynamic Handgun. I highly recommend these guys.
