Rob Pincus took some time from the PDN Training Tour to answer a variety of questions about armed self-defense. He discussed the top five mistakes he thinks people make in regard to personal defense preparation, laser aiming devices, choosing defensive handguns, training for people with disabilities, and more! He also spoke a bit about the new collaboration between PDN and USCCA.

I was pleased with subject matter. However, audio transmission was extremely poor and significantly detracted from my learning experience.
Focus on frontsight
How do you determine who the threats are versus the good guys who are also carrying and possibly firing in a firefight? I don’t want to be mistaken for an assailant or vice versa from a fellow ccw or officer
I have been carrying Winchester Silver Tips in my Glock 19 and KelTecP11 for many years due to their accuracy. I understand that there are now better “modern” cartridges available. What do you recommend?

When carrying a backup gun in or outside waistband what are your thoughts on having it in a weakside holster i.e. lefthand draw for righthanded? Full size on strong side G43 on the left/front.

I am a retired LEO. I retired on a ordinary medical retirement ( Long Story kind of Job related). When I first retired I was ok, but I got extremely sick and I gave up my CCW. I am now doing much better and I qualified for my LEOSA today, I have always had a problem with holsters because I am a big fella, what type of holster for Inside the pants would you recommend or should I go to a fanny pack or off the body carry
During a crisis/firefight in a public space of absolutely necessary, how do you determine who ate law abiding gun carriers versus terrorists/assailants?
With California’s “new and unimproved” AR15 type firearms Laws… what would you recommend as a long rifle in California, no magazine, etc.

USCCW and PDN?
What brand (or magnification) of scope would you suggest using with an Aimpoint PRO?
Hey Rob! Glad to see you :)
I use red dots a lot because they don’t limit your Peripheral vision. But, if I were to use a magnified scope what “power” scope would you suggest?
Are there any training classes in south carolina
Please discuss relative costs and merits of Armed Citizens Legal Defense network as compared with insurance plans,
I’m a 63-year old NRA pistol instructor and have noticed there’s a serious lack of middle-difficulty courses available out there. Everything seems to go from beginner to advanced. I teach two “next step” courses to others, but can’t find many for myself. I know you don’t have an answer for this; I’m just mentioning it in hopes that other instructors will develop courses which I can take! I shoot IDPA and Action Pistol (very slowly) but would like to have some actual classes that would help me improve!
What latest update on suppressors not needing tax stamp $200 +++

Can a Revolver match a Semiautomatic for Conceal Carry Self Defense??
On the subject of caliber, they say 9MM is as good as any, but if an assailant is high on meth or coke, and doesn’t care if they get shot, wouldn’t a .45 stop them faster?

What’s your opinion of the Glock 42?
I carry the Glock 42 regularly with MagSafe ammo and Hornady hollow points. The 42 is so easy to shoot, very smooth, and VERY accurate. The trigger is a little stiff but I’m okay with that. The modern .380 cartridge is very powerful. I’ve shot through 2-inch hard-back books with no problem. It almost went through a 3-inch book. I feel very confident carrying it.
Do you have a time line when you are suspect to draw then fire, I’m just looking for general info.
Price of training to get cpl
How as a instructor do you convince people that fandom about a certain firearm is not as important as their ability to shoot that firearm
Thank u
