Foster Impact Devices Coin Purse Review
I first saw the Coin Purse from Foster Impact Devices at ECQC in 2015. Shivworks instructor Craig Douglas showed it to a few attendees. I was curious about it, but had so much other stuff going on in my mind that I didn’t remember where he got it from, or exactly what it was called. […]

That’s What She Said: Shivworks ECQC course with Craig Douglas
I had some trouble starting this post. The ECQC course by Craig Douglas of Shivworks has generated a ton of technical content, both here and elsewhere. I decided to write from my personal point of view: a female defensive firearms student with no martial arts training and a deep seated fear of close quarter combat. […]

Solo Active Universal Tablet Sling Bag for EDC Review
For the last three years I’ve carried an SBR or PDW in a bag every where I’ve gone with a few notable exceptions. Flying, going into federal buildings with metal detectors, and a half dozen other times such as attending SHOT Show or going to a professional sporting event. I’ve used the Adidas Rydell bag […]

Last weekend, The She Shepherd and I attended the ECQC class taught by Craig Douglas of Shivworks. I will cover specific drills and evolutions in future posts, but here is my 3×3 review.

ModuLoader Pocket Shield by MDTS and Raven Concealment First Impressions Review
Let’s travel back in time. Back to 2015. I was at the Rangemaster “Polite Society” Tactical Conference (my review). I had met a bunch of people who were about to change my life. One such person was Chris Fry, personal safety instructor and owner of MDTS. He taught one of the classes I attended, about […]

My 3×3 review format identifies the 3 most important topics in a class, the 3 things most important to me, and the 3 things I’m going to change. Here’s my 3×3 review of the first day of the Rangemaster 2016 “Polite Society” Tactical Conference

That’s What She Said: 2015 Review
Resolutions Schmesoloutions… On January 1 of 2015 I resolved to keep track of everything I learned. I wanted to see if it made a difference in how I felt about the outgoing year. Instead of looking back at things I had failed at, seeing what I accomplished would set benchmarks for future goals. I started […]

2015 Year in Review: Training
I squeaked out just over 300 hours of professional, fight-focused training this year — 304 to be exact. Adding in lecture-only classes brings my total up to 320. This does not include practice time at home, or live fire at a shooting range. It also does not include the personal Kali instruction we’re getting. Here’s […]

That’s What She Said: Landing the Plane Class Review
The Shepherd has already written about the content of this class, but I have a few things to add from my perspective. Today I was called to be a good citizen and report for jury duty. In our county, the courthouse is part of a large complex of buildings. Adult detention, sheriff office, juvenile detention. […]

Installing the Law Tactical Gen 3-M Folding Adapter on an Angstadt Arms UDP-9 AR15
I was really excited to combine products from two of my favorite companies. It’s like tactical Reese’s peanut butter cups. I’ve written before about the Gen 3-M folding buffer tube stock adapter from Law Tactical, and we’re in the middle of our evaluation of the Angstadt Arms UDP-9 AR15 that accepts Glock magazines. Here’s a […]
