Practice That Actually Builds Skill At Home
Laser and resetting-trigger systems Frank uses in his own dry-fire practice and recommends to students between range sessions.
Mantis TITAN X
An inert training pistol with a realistic form factor, a resetting trigger, and a laser that fires on trigger break — paired with the Mantis X shooting performance analysis system.
Mantis Laser Academy
Guided drills and real-time feedback bring target practice to you, anytime, anywhere. Get quality dry-fire reps in with your own equipment, between range days.
SIRT 115
Safe, effective and innovative — the Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger (SIRT) training pistol was developed by shooters, for shooters. Instant feedback on shot quality without burning ammo.
SIRT TruBreak Trigger Trainer
Master the single most important skill for accurate, repeatable shooting: trigger control. The TruBreak forces the trigger finger to act independently of the rest of the grip.
What Frank Actually Carries And Trusts
Holsters, lights and first aid equipment recommended for daily carry and range use.
CYA Supply IWB Holsters
A local San Antonio company specializing in inside-the-waistband holsters — inexpensive but not cheap, designed and manufactured for a like-a-glove fit. Models for Glock 19, 17, 43X, SIG P365, S&W M&P Shield, Hellcat 3″, Walther PDP and CZ P10c.
PowerTac M5 Gen3 Flashlight
A 2,030-lumen EDC tactical flashlight with an SST40 6500K LED bulb and a maximum beam distance of 330 meters — serious low-light capability that fits in a pocket.
VITAC First Aid Equipment
Trauma and first aid kits designed by four U.S. Army Green Berets who trained together, deployed together, and came home with a shared conviction: being prepared saves lives.
Where We Train And Who Has Your Back
