I own Sordins and Ops Core Amps with the NFMI buds, and also own some Otto Noizebarrier Micros. If shooting outside, in the open, the Micros are awesome. Shooting inside, not so much. The sound quality on the Amps is next level. None of the above are cheap.
I went to Rogers a few years back. You shoot the test everyday, twice on Thursday (?), so six runs, keeping your best score. I was FURIOUS that on day one I shot a 56. Billy Lumpkin (AI for our class, former Devgru) started laughing at me, and said, "You're fine. The average cop shoots 35ish on...
I think it was Tom Givens that I heard say, "There is absolutely a timer in a gunfight, and the other guy is holding it."
Of course tactics, awareness, and a multitude of other things come into play, but when the bullets start flying, generally speaking, the person who lands accurate hits...
Someone needs to tell my P it's supposed to be finicky. Right at 3500 rounds through it - a mix of 147gr AE, 115gr AE, 147gr HST, 124gr +P HST, 135gr Critical Duty, and 124gr NATO, without a single malfunction. She got a little sluggish when I went 400+ rounds without lubing it, but two drops of...
Built one up years ago. Used a Liberty Gun Works enhanced barrel, a Black Rifle Arms midlength gas barrel, an extra power hammer spring, and an enhanced firing pin. I run C-Products 28-round magazines in them, and in 7-8k rounds of steel case through it, have never had any issues.
I built the...
Haven't shot a Prodigy, but my Staccato P has been rock solid. Sitting at just over 2500 rds total on it in about a month. 3 failures to extract when I went 600 rds without cleaning or lubing. Gun was extremely dry, and pretty gunky. Drop of lube at the back of each rail, drop of lube on the...
I've been running the Gamut Resolutions Warm-up daily, plus a couple slowfire B8s (25 yd line). Then I'm mixing in some 10x10x10, some Defoor Hat Drill, some Baer Solutions Standards, and Baer Solutions Warm-up, as well as some Dot Torture and some slowfire B8s at the 50. Those are all being...

ILEA will give you an ILEA Firearms Instructor rating, provided you pass the pre-qual shoot, and have Instructor Generalist. They recognize FLETC FITP.
Also, our agency uses our standard off-duty qual as our LEOSA qual, and it is nothing like any of the ILEA stages.
Just saw this, so I'm late.
I own:
MSA Sordin Supreme Pro
Otto Noizebarrier Micro
Ops Core AMP with NFMI earplugs
I have experience with
Comtac 3
TCI Liberator
Of all of them, the AMPs are my favorites. Very easy to switch between helmet and headband, excellent sound quality, excellent...
