Finally got the opportunity to train with Mike Pannone this past weekend. I was unfortunately only able to attend day two because day one landed on a South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club match. Day one sounded like foundational material (which I really need the reps on so I wish I could’ve made it) and day two was more performance based.

The way Mike explains incorporating parts of the performance shooting from the competition world into the tactical/LE world is the perfect balance. I could talk to Mike for ever, his approach to training (and honestly just life s**t in general) is very logical and has deeper than surface level thinking in everything he does. I wish I could’ve gone both days but I’m definitely signing up for the class next time he’s in town.

Thank you David Weidner for inviting me out. The San Mateo range is an insanely cool facility and if you guys ever get a chance to train up there I highly recommend you guys take the opportunity.

There will be more dates added to this list, but been getting a lot of questions about upcoming classes, private lesson availability, etc. Trying to balance classes, hosting other instructors, South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club USPSA matches and Silicon Valley’s Premier Gun Shop members range days doesn’t seem to be a ton of time left to put on classes. So I appreciate everyone’s patience.

Just put my order in for an Atlas Gunworks Erebus V3, my favorite handgun on the planet. I previously had 2 Erebus, one I had then they came out with a lefty version so I sold that and bought a lefty version. Then the lefty one I sold because I had an opportunity to buy a different brand’s setup and I heavily regretted that s**t ever since. So I’m very excited I’m able to make this happen again, and I’m not making the mistake again of thinking there is anything better than an Erebus.

We’re an Atlas Gunworks Tier 1 dealer at Silicon Valley’s Premier Gun Shop but I traded some sexual favors for this one from The Sharp Shooter in Corpus Christi, TX. If you are looking for Atlas’ in TX, the boys at The Sharp Shooter can definitely make it happen.

Super Alpha Hoser match this weekend at Richmond Action was a fun one! Happy with movement, need to work on hits at closer hoser speed. We had an awesome squad of absolute animals. Great seeing everyone as always!

Over 270 competitors for a local match weekend is absolute insane and is one of many reasons why Richmond Action is the number one club in the country. Since we started South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club I’ve grown a deeper appreciation for stage design, setup and various materials, and Richmond Action kills all of those every match. If you haven’t already check them out.

Some more intentional reps with the Atlas Gunworks Titan yesterday at the South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club USPSA match. Happier with movement and time on stages, need to better settle dot before making some of these shots.

Excited for the stages Jacob Turner built for this Friday’s match. See you guys there!

Messing around in Single Stack division has been interesting. My dad bought me this Nighthawk Custom🇺🇸 8+ years ago and it’s essentially been sitting in the safe since (irons, .45ACP). Thought might as well have some fun with it. Thankfully my Werkz Holsters for my Atlas Gunworks fits the NHC no problem (both have rails) and they sent me a single stack mag pouch and it’s ready for me to attempt this side quest. But interesting part is for Single Stack major (.45 ACP) is you can only load up to 8 rounds. Where minor power factor (9mm) you can load 10. So all these 10 round classifiers are absolutely clapping my cheeks. So the dilemma of just get a 9mm one or be better with the .45 lol. Been looking at that Agency Arms LLC NHC Agent 2 lately 👀

These Agency Arms LLC NOC 2.0 look so good. Always makes me look back at them. Pretty sick to know officers who carry these on duty and people who use this as their carry setup. Comped, island barrel, Agency Optic System (AOS, the best plate system on the market). With a Trijicon, Inc. RCR and Modlite Systems PL350c this thing looks mean. Excited to see more of them in the wild and for future accessories to drop for this platform.

Coastal Classic USPSA Level 2 match is a wrap! Beautiful San Luis Obispo / Morro Bay was able to be called home for a couple days. Weather was awesome. Was done early enough to enjoy the local towns.

- Was able to zero out a classifier (literally had -2 points on it which is insane).
- 4th overall on the following stage (only decent stage).
- I learned how Mikes are scored lol.
- Had an awesome squad. Really good shooters and fun to be around folk.

Glad Silicon Valley’s Premier Gun Shop was able to sponsor and get a bunch of absolute animals in to shoot and represent MM.

Jacob Turner - Won CO Division / 2nd Overall
alex_shoot_glock - Won LO Division / 8th overall
Jeremy | Competitive Shooter - 1st M Class LO / 21st overall
Viri Berumen - 2nd Lady’s / 1st Lady’s Handgun
Reno May - 10th in LO
Zach Keever - 49th Overall
Alex Lopez - 95th Overall

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and supported. Hopefully thecoastalclassic continues to run this major and we at Silicon Valley’s Premier Gun Shop / South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club can continue to support more matches in CA!

Special thanks to Russel Curtis / Estero Inn / Estero Adventures / Electric Boat Rentals for the very generous hospitality!

Just in case you’re curious what a 18% classifier run in Single Stack looks like… lol Between South Bay Area’s Official USPSA Club, Richmond Action and ALG USPSA we’ve been hitting so many matches lately I thought f**k it, let’s pull the Nighthawk Custom🇺🇸 GRP Recon .45 ACP 1911 out of the safe. Shooting Federal Premium. Probably should’ve done a range day before trying to just run it. This gun hasn’t seen sunlight in literally 6+ years but f**k it, nice to be able to f**k around because of all the USPSA matches happening locally.

Additional bay we can use on weekdays while running MGR USPSA matches at Yidan Branch Zhang!
