In this episode, I sit down with Rick Jacobs, an instructional design expert with years of experience in law enforcement, the corporate world, and entrepreneurship.
Rick has a deep understanding of how training programs are designed, delivered, andâmore importantlyâwhere they fall short. We dive into the problems with law enforcement training, from outdated POST standards to institutional roadblocks that prevent real progress.
Many officers and instructors agree that the system is broken, and today, Rick and I break down exactly why that is and what can be done about it.
Beyond law enforcement, this conversation applies to multiple industriesâcorporate training, leadership development, and private instruction.
We explore validity, quality, and accountability in training programs, questioning what makes instruction truly effective and how organizations should measure success.

In this episode of Iron Sights After Dark, I sit down with Brandon Hernandez, Region 7 Director and Head of Training for the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association (TTPOA).
Brandon is the guy responsible for organizing training for TTPOA membersâprimarily SWAT officers across Texas. While meeting with Brandon, I had the opportunity to go through Region 7âs Basic SWAT School, an intense program that provides a foundational look at SWAT operations. We break down my experience in the course, how SWAT training has evolved, and the critical role TTPOA plays in equipping officers with top-tier instruction.
We also talk about the TTPOA Annual Conference, happening this April in Round Rock, Texas. With 186 vendors, breakout sessions, and dedicated training days on the range, itâs one of the biggest law enforcement training events of the year.

Welcome back to the Iron Sights After Dark Podcast!
Fresh off SHOT Show 2025, I had the chance to talk to Chris Long, the Content Manager at Walther Arms.
During the show, Walther was unveiling their new PDP F-Series Pistol, and I got my hands on it to see what itâs all about. I also sat down with Chris for an inside look at his role, Waltherâs approach to customer feedback, and what sets them apart in an industry where not every brand gets it right.
This episode takes a different angle as we dive into the marketing side of the firearms world.
With the recent industry buzz surrounding a certain pistol, Chris and I discuss how Walther handles customer feedback and their commitment to improving their products based on real user input.
We also get into Chrisâs background as a competitive shooter, content creator, and firearms enthusiast, along with the opportunities that have come his way
Enjoy the show!

Hereâs another Iron Sights Podcast episode coming off Shot Show 2025, featuring Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project.
When I started my journey to becoming more confident with firearms, I noticed nearly every instructor I trained with credited Scott for shaping their approach to shootingâespecially with the red dot pistol.
Despite hearing his name so often, I had never taken a Modern Samurai Project courseâuntil about a week after this interview. After finally experiencing his instruction firsthand, I understood why so many top-tier instructors reference his methods.
In this episode, we dive into Scottâs unique path to firearms instruction and his remarkable rise in the industry. We discuss his philosophy on shooting and teaching, the principles behind his methodology, and the âwhyâ that drives everything he does.
Scott is one of the busiest instructors out there, running countless classes each year, and his insights are invaluable for anyone serious about improving their skills.
Enjoy the show!

In this episode of Iron Sights Podcast, I sit down with Mike Mihalski & Kyle Grothues, two high school buddies who turned their passion into one of the top rifle and parts manufacturers in the industry.
These guys arenât just business owners; theyâre hands-on, in-the-trenches gun nerds who put in the work, both in their factory and face-to-face with their customers. We dive into their journey, the challenges theyâve faced, and what makes their approach unique in an industry filled with big names and custom builders.This conversation was even more special because it took place at Shot Show 2025, inside Staccato Vegas (formerly Prairie Fire). If youâre into firearms, youâve probably seen Mike and Kyle on Instagram, other podcasts, or at industry events. They bring energy, knowledge, and an unfiltered perspective on what it takes to stand out in this competitive space.
