Podcast


This week we have two very different interviews both recorded at the SHOT show in January.

First we have Mas interviewing Ed Brown of Ed Brown Custom about his fine 1911 pistols in general and the model that Mas designed for them as the most recent gun in their signature series. Here's a review of the gun by Walt Rauch.

The second interview that Mas does is the latest in our series of interviews with people who have been in armed encounters and survived to share their stories with us. This time Mas interviews Jared Reston a Jacksonville Florida Police Officer who not only survived seven hits with a .45, he was able to win the fight. He was most definitely saved by wearing his bullet-proof vest but he still received some very serious gunshot wounds. Listen to his chilling story. Once again, as in all of these stories, there are many lessons here to be learned. I am just going to list a few links to Jared's story here.

We enjoy all of the Podcasts on the <strong>Gun Rights Radio Network</strong> and participate in the forum but the GRRN needs our help to continue. As we add more Podcasts to the network and new people join the forum our resourced are getting  sapped. We at the ProArms Podcast never ask you for donations because we have a wonderful sponsor, the Pro Arms Store, but the GRRN relies on subscriptions to pay it's bills. So in order to help raise some funds for the GRRN we are offering a chance to win $800.00 worth of training from the newly formed Massad Ayoob Group.
http://massadayoobgroup.com
That amount will cover the tuition for 4 or 5 day MAG 40 course. We will be accepting entries through September 30 2010.

If you would like to enter please forward a copy of your paid subscription or donation to: [email protected]

One last comment: We are still in the process of moving everything over to our new servers for the podcast and are trying to make a few improvements / adjustments too. For instance the MP3 file for this Podcast is considerably smaller. If you notice and problems with the audio portion of this episode please let us know right here.

Once again, after hearing a story like Jared Reston's, I am filled with awe, admiration, and gratitude.  Bless all those who go in harm's way, and bless also the body armor designers and factory workers.

I wouldn't be surprised to read about this story in a future installment of The Ayoob Files.  It will be extra special remembering Mas' interview with this outstanding young man.

Jeff, I wouldn't be surprised to read it there, either!  Grin

He's a helluva good hand with a Glock .40, too. He joined us at a recent IDPA shoot, his first match of any kind ever, and came in fifth overall and first place Unclassified. Most impressive man.

best,
Mas

Amazing interviews. This scumbag was determined to kill Jared and he managed to stay focused and live to tell about it. Glad to see he made it and there's one less bad guy on the streets. Great interview Mas, and Gail (our favorite predator) thank you for bringing us the podcast. Like Miggy said, it was well worth the wait.

Hmmm...I guess you might be in a position to know.  Smiley

Enjoyed the Ed Brown interview as well.

I have the feeling mas had a helluva time reigning Ed Brown in a couple of times. He is quite a character!

I just finished listening to Episode 47. Thanks Mas for two great interviews. I was very impressed to hear the interview with Ed Brown. In the past, it's been great to hear from representatives of firearm manufacturers, but nothing is as impressive as hearing it from the man himself, Ed Brown. Listening to this interview makes me rethink Ed Brown 1911s in general.

It was also inspirational to hear from Jared Reston. I enjoyed the opportunity to hear about the incident from the officer himself. His story was incredible and it reaffirms the respect I have for the entire law enforcement community.

In the future, I love to hear an interview with master pistol-smith Bill Laughridge from Cylinder and Slide.

I wouldn't be surprised if we did this sometime this year.
