Recommendations

PSSRA does not provide equipment recommendations to unvetted members. We are happy, however, to point to other creators and resources whose recommendations we generally agree with as far as training and gear goes.

Nothing here should be taken as a full-throated endorsement of the creator or their views. In fact with almost all personalities and companies in the firearms space you are likely to find something questionable in their history (to say the least), but we don’t consider that to be disqualifying in terms of gaining valuable knowledge.

In other words, we consider purity tests for trainers and manufacturers to mostly be a fool’s errand.

Yellow Peril Tactical: pay special attention to advice on practical shooting and beginner gear. Specifically:

• striker-fired 9mm
• “handfeel” not a good metric
• holosun optic

Practical Shooting Training by Stoeger and Park. Indispensable for all levels of shooter wanting to improve. Do NOT skip the first section; the philosophy behind the training program is key.

Tessah Booth: especially good for information on concealed carry, concealment info tailored for smaller-framed people

Firearms basics playlist by Kit Badger: Everything from “how a gun works” to dry fire drills and maintenance.
