OK, I'll give the guy credit for doing it. A number of things he did were so backwards I was shaking my head as I read what he had to say. Like carrying a firearm and than taking it to the range to shoot. Yes I believe S&W makes some fantastic firearms and I enjoy the ones I have but I would never trust and out of the box firearm to carry without making sure it worked or how it sighted.
for summertime with shorts and t-shirts he had the wrong firearms to carry with. Why even bother taking a firearm along for protection if you're going to lock it with a key and put the ammo in one place and the locked firearm in another. That's where education comes into play. When you need your firearm in the middle of the night. Getting it, unlocking it, getting the ammo, loading it. Is far too much time.
Bottom line, is the guy didn't grow fangs and go off the deep end and seems to get it.

alright, that's a little bit funny: i do all this same stuff every day, but i do it on my own dime. i don't get to call up my buddies at S&W and get handouts. :) otherwise, great article.

about that unfinished holster, though. sights, slide, trigger guard and external levers all get their own custom tracks in the leather by the time you've done enough legal study, practice draws, range instruction and cleaning of the gun to carry it with optimum responsibility.
