On this episode Clint and Todd discuss the drama with Sig Sauer and the issues that seem to be plaguing the P320 series of pistols, which resulted in a young service member losing his life.  We cover everything from the issues that this platform has had from the start, departments and training professionals who have banned the P320, as well as how we predict Sig plans to remedy this and attempt to bounce back.

We tend to focus on the technical part of shooting, but the cognitive aspect is just as important. Being able to understand how our brain processes information when training, competing or fighting is an important part to our overall development as shooters. 
To help understand this further we are joined by special guest Brian Hill of the Complete combatant.
