Self-Defense TV

Tom,

My two favorite things...

Guns and airplanes!

Keep up the great work on "Self-Defense TV" and "Wings to Adventure"

Awesome show Tom.
And don't worry ... people will eventually learn the proper title (Personal Defense TV). :)
 
mmmm...valhalla...must go back.

Looks like I'm gonna have to get the outdoor channel turned back on (my CFO (wife) turned it and a bunch of other ones off to save cash). Course, I'd love to have something like this on DVD. Real good for those of us with short attention spans.

Now that's not fair Dino. The show has changed names after the second or third episode. The first ones I recorded are called Self Defense TV, and then they say Personal Defense TV after that. At least that's how Direct TV had it.

So Tom, why the name change?

For all interested, if you have Direct TV or Dish Network, the Outdoor Network (OUT not OLN) is part of a sports package, but for $1.99 a month you can add it to your service. Believe me the show is worth .50 cents an episode. Plus you have shootingusa, american rifleman, and all sorts of what my wife calls "Whispering in Camo" shows.

Sorry ... I didn't realize that. :o

Probably good that someone mention it though in case people have problems finding "Self-Defense TV" in their channel guide. ;)
 
From the time I was first contacted and throughout the development of the project it has always been "Personal Defense TV," to my knowledge... I understand that there was a screw up on some cable company listings for some reason.

Tom?

Name: PERSONAL DEFENSE TV

The show's name has never changed. My proposal for the show had it as "Personal Defense TV" back in December of last year.

That was the working title, and is the permanent title.

As Rob said, there was a glitch on the cable/satellite system program guide for a couple of weeks, but the show (when you watch it) was always PDTV.

We just put some photos from the S&W Invitational I attended last week on the new www.guntalk.com web site. Still filling in some of the hole on the site, but at least it's up.

And the archives/podcasts of the radio show are up, too.
 
I'm watching it on my DVR right now. The only complaint I have is that the background music that is going on during discussions is distracting and loud.. it could stand to be turned down a bit.
 
Ditto on the annoying background music - too loud, totally unnecessary and distracting. Its otherwise an excellent program, but the music dumbs it down.
 
Interesting that you guys would mention that. On Thursday, I met with the key people on the show and told them that we must turn down the music.

Great minds, and all that. <grin>
 
PDTV - you guys are off to a great start. Keep the CCW stuff coming. And, please continue with the good product integration in the "lessons". The other gun shows have turned into little more than infomercials. I loved Ayoob's J-frame pocket carry tips. Good stuff - keep it coming!

I regularly watch, or have watched, most of the gun-centric shows on OLN and O'door Channel, and SDTV is the most useful to me. The others have their merits, but endless product reviews, pro match coverage, and (most especially) criminally insipid segments like those G&A "torture" tests, get a bit old. I do find Shooting Gallery generally informative, as well.
 
Man, I wish the show were an hour long! Reading on the internet and reading books is one thing, but watching techniques demonstrated by people is great to watch. I particularly like the Reality Check segment.. always some good info there.
 
No he hasn't given up the 1911. Its just that Springfield became a big sponsor of the show, and when they sent them a few XD's he liked them and thought they were one of the ideal self/home defense guns.

I myself own an XD and its a great pistol. Its an XD9 Service model. I have put about 5k rounds through mine and have only had 1 malfunction which was an FTE(failure to eject). All in all they are great pistiols and are becomeing more popular by the day!

I showed my wife the episode about the AR as a home defense weapon.

I plowed through about $1300 recently on a Bushmaster XM-15 modular carbine. I love it, but she has questioned the "need" for it.

Thanks to Tom, she understands now. :D

Great stuff!
 
Uh... pics of the carbine would be appreciated. :)

I also caught this last episode; thought it was great. I was pleased to see the "keyboard guitar rock" volume level was no longer an issue. ;)

Shooting a .50bmg rifle - prone - from on top of a moving motor coach bus? Priceless. :cool:
