The J frame revolver gets compared often to the baby Glock in size and concealability with commentators noting how that the revolver is thicker than a baby Glock and carries half the rounds.. I don’t think that is an appropriate comparison, here’s why.

Featuring:
Smith and Wesson 360 pd .357mag /38 spl

Glock 27 subcompact .40 s&w

Also for your consideration:

Smith and wesson 340pd

Glock 26 subcompact 9mm


Many guns are billed as “pocket sized” or “pocket pistols”. While the subcompact Glocks (G26, G27, G29, G30, G39, G33) are small enough to fit in a pocket, their shape often makes them difficult to really “conceal” due to excessive printing, at least in a front pants pocket. Their weight makes them much harder to put into a cargo pocket unless you fancy getting hit in the knee all day.

Unarmed private security is a difficult and often thankless job. Today we are looking at the edc equipment used for various contract types and some philosophical and tactical considerations that should be kept in mind when selecting gear for these jobs.

Every contract is different and every location is unique, unarmed security is a difficult industry to nail down to an "industry standard".

Complicating matters are clients who don't understand the considerations involved in effective security and/or have unrealistic expectations of what even the best security guard can do.

There is no shortage of people with very strong opinions on how security guards should do their jobs. I, on the other hand don't claim to be an expert in the matter. I have however done the job in the past and work on a regular basis with folks who I consider to be the very best unarmed security personnel out there.

Here are some of the things I have picked up on over the years in regards to working an unarmed security gig and a little philosophical conversation about how to be a good employee, get more & better jobs, be in demand, and make more money. At the end of the day, that is why we all take these gigs.

The third instalment of the “Hidden Weapons” series takes a look at a knife that can be hidden as easily as a credit card and feels much the same in a pocket, the Card Sharp. Razor sharp and easy to miss on a search, the card sharp is definitely something every Cop and all public safety personnel should be aware of. If they have a wallet, they may well have a knife!

As a police field training officer (FTO) it is easy to teach people to search for weapons and contraband in obvious places. the hard part is to get me cops and security guards to start to think a little bit like a criminal.

While most people would never think to hide a fixed blade knife in their wallet, buy a comb, lipstick, or pen with a blade concealed within it, most career criminals seek out new and unusual methods to conceal weapons, cuff keys, and narcotics on their persons.

Here we are concentrating on weapons. Specifically weapons that can be hidden from a cursory "Pat down" or "frisk" and are often missed in full custodial searches of arrestees.

The threat posed by these types of weapons is significant. Often even experienced officers will let their guard down after searching a subject on the street or a prisoner/arrestee.

Here is where street officers of every stripe would be wise to take a lesson from our brothers turning keys for a living. They know better than anyone that if a person with Ill intent wants to get and carry a weapon they will. Correctional Officers will tell you that even if you just cavity searched a person you should never let your guard down around them. Ask any jailer and they will tell you stories about unpleasant "surprises" they have had at work. Many of those surprises will invariably involve ingenious methods and craftsmanship used to hide knives and other sharp objects used to attack other prisoners and the prison staff.

While the environment we are talking about today is far removed from a prison, the key populace that is a threat to us is the same, career criminals.

To combat this threat we have to learn the CO method of searching thoroughly, separating the person from their property and inspecting every item through a suspicious lens whenever it is legal to do so.

I seriously considered naming this series "how to search a suspect" or "how to do a custodial search" But, as you can tell there is so much more to the issue than overlapping quadrants and legal requirements. We have to have the mindset to find what no one wants us to find and be ready to deal with the unexpected. We have to be a "COP" no matter what title is written on our uniform.

Welcome to Free Field Training!

Comparing the most commonly used extendable police batons: the Monadnock Autolock, Asp Friction Lock, and the knock off from the flea market. While most people will rarely have occasion to use an extendable baton for its intended purpose, when it is needed it’s use is almost always a dire emergency. Those who find themselves in the market for one should take into account the big differences between the $20 examples and the $175 ones. Here I give you a direct comparison…and some hard earned experience with their use on the street.

Police and security personnel often have to mediate disputes between customers and businesses at points of sale. The most common of which is over whether or not currency is genuine. This video is intended not to be an all-inclusive look at counterfeit money, but as “The least you should know” type training. The intention is to give a person with no or minimal understanding of the issue enough knowledge and understanding to solve most disputes on the topic.

In this video I cover Security features common in all United States currency (like microstamping) and the new features of more modern American paper money.
