Wanna hear the FULL Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program today! Words mean things. Today we have a very special guest, Louis Caras of LCAR Training. What is our accepted definition of training? How does that differ from the word "practice?" When we go out and shoot on our own, are we training, or practicing, or are we just turning money into noise? How can we learn and improve our skills, tactics and our overall mindset?  Which is more important, repetitions or rehearsals? Is there a difference between the two? Should we be going fast or should we be working on the method? This is a show not to be missed by those who are on the path toward martial enlightenment.

Paul is joined by his friend Bill Frady of Lock N Load radio to do a deep dive into the topic of mindset.  Professor Paul has a new book out; Super Lab: Application of the Scientific Method to Firearms Training. What is the scientific method and how can we use it to improve what we are teaching? The second half of the Bill Frady discussion about mindset. We trust you'll enjoy it. We are constantly amazed by what passes as a news story in our modern era. Some soldiers in Hawaii had to go six days without air conditioning. That crisis was the topic of a feature news story. Our thoughts and prayers are with these brave warriors as they battle the tropical weather of Hawaii.

What happens when one of the most popular carry pistols in America gets a new magazine that might change the conversation? In this episode of Student of the Gun, Paul and Jarrad dig into the primacy effect, Glock's new steel magazines for the 43X and 48, and why "new and improved" doesn't always mean what the internet thinks it means. From the debate over whether the Glock 19 is "dead" to the bigger lessons hidden inside firearms training, this episode connects gear, psychology, and real-world performance in a way that will make you rethink how shooters are taught, and what they remember first. Along the way, you'll hear sharp observations about training scars, habit formation, and why the first lesson can shape everything that follows. If you care about concealed carry, firearms instruction, or simply understanding why some ideas stick harder than others, this is an episode worth your time. Play the episode now and find out why the first lesson may be the most important one of all.
