Anybody been checking this new show out? It's got some big names on there, Mas Ayoob, Clint Smith, The Gunsite crew. Seems like a decent show where you might actually learn something.

By the way, I noticed Mr. Smith using what looks like a Springfield XD in the last couple of episodes. Wonder if he's given up the 1911?
 
Nah. Clint has not given up on the 1911. He also shoots Glocks, DA revolvers, SA revolvers, etc.

We asked him to shoot the XD because . . . .well, because Springfield is a sponsor of the show! <grin>

He uses a Glock (not a sponsor) for some segments. Since S&W is also a sponsor, expect to see the M&P show up now and then.

Last week I spent five days at Gunsite shooting the M&P 9mm and the M&P15 (AR15). Lots of fun. A very nice pistol.

I created the concept for Personal Defense TV out of the calls I get on the radio show ("Tom Gresham's Gun Talk"). People want to know about personal defense. We produced it very quickly last year. It's running now on The Outdoor Channel.

We will be meeting soon to discuss plans for next year's video taping.

Suggestions are welcome!
 
Wow! After almost two years, we find Tom's still alive & kickin'! But, um.... it is, after all, almost Halloween. You sure you aren't Tom's zombie? ;) :D .

Seriously, welcome back, Tom! :) I've got a sneakin' suspicion that your show is going to draw a lot of attention here. It most certainly drew mine!
 
Striker1 gets a FTDR penalty - dangit, it's halfway through the season, and he's just telling us about it??? :D

Have to set the recorder this evening.....:D
 
Two years?

Heck, it seems like only yesterday. <grin>

Been a bit busy, but it's all been good. The "Gun Talk" radio show is now carried on both Sirius and XM satellite radio systems. (Ch 166 on XM).

Started an aviation TV series, working on a hunting series, and created the Personal Defense TV series.

Traveling a lot, but having fun. Got home last night after a 4200-nautical mile trip in the Bonanza. Visited the shooting range for the NYPD, spent a week at Gunsite, and otherwise had fun and worked a lot of long days.

Putting together a "Gun Talk" shoot at Gunsite for next year.

I've also pretty much cut my internet forum activities to moderated forums (fora?) such as TFL.
 
Shoot I didn't even get the name righht!!! But kudos to Mr. Gresham and all involved!

What I like about the show is the fact that they actually teach us something, not just skim over the techniques.

Thanks again for an informative show!
 
Ah, yes... this is why I pay for the nice cable with a DVR. I must arise from my computer and set my TV contraption to record these shows.

I don't know how this new deal slipped past my razor-sharp senses. It must be because I always fast-forward through commercials.
 
Personal Defense TV

The plan is to release the shows on DVD.

Right now, we are still editing the shows.

We were able to gather a real "A Team" of instructors for the show. Each week we have segments with Massad Ayoob and Clint Smith. For the season running now, we went to Gunsite, Thunder Ranch, Valhalla, and the S&W Academy.

We used several instructors at Gunsite, and there's no doubt that these are world-class coaches. These guys and gals are great.
 
Just want to say that it is my favorite show on tv. Guntalk (sorry I don't know ur first name, but I am guessing it is Tom) keep up the good work and tell the forum when it gets on DVD.:)
 
although i enjoy the show,i would get more out of the demonstrations if the bad guy was a real bad guy rather than a paper target.
ie: when masaad used the bad guys elbow to turn him off center,the bad guy just didnt put up much of a struggle.
still a great show that i enjoy watching....thanks!

It would be nice to get those shows when/if they are released on DVD. I just found out about this show (and the Gun Talk radio show) from this thread. I've already downloaded all the Gun Talk podcasts and have been listening to them at work. Very entertaining and informative! I will be calling my local talk radio station www.997wtn.com and tell them that I along with a lot of people would love for a radio talk show about guns to be aired here. All of Middle TN can tune in that station so that would be a huge market of gun owners. I think right now they have a dental show and something else filling that timeslot ;)

Anyways, I am watching the current episode of PDTV right now on my DVR and have already set it to record future episodes. I am enjoying the show.
 
"Thanks" to all of you who are watching the show...

I am proud to be associated with it and we've been getting great feedback at Valhalla from the viewers.
