Feedback from our students, such as the following, keeps us going during long days on the road and the range:
"Thanks for the class, by far the best class I have attended." Recent comment from student at week-long AR15/M16 Armorer/Instructor course.
Take a few moments to learn about our upcoming products, including the SLR15 Grail. Check out our training calendar for a course near you and remember, CY6. |

SLR15 Grail Defensive Edge SLR15 Rifles is now selling our newest signature rifle "The S LR15 Grail". Sales are brisk.
Our Staff named the SLR15 Grail after finding that this particular configuration shoots like no other rifle that we have ever built.
The SLR15 Grail is the product of many years of research, development, testing, and our experiences in shooting.
The configuration of the SLR15 Grail configuration allows for what has been described to us by users as a "perfect harmony."
It is chambered in 5.56 Nato with a free float 16" lightweight chrome lined barrel.
Some of the features include Forged 7075 upper and lower receivers, a Sully Stock, and Ergo Grip.
It will be offered with an Aimpoint Optic package that includes a Larue mount.
Note that the SLR15 Grail Rifle does not allow for customization of the stock or other key components. |
Note our new email address!
We have a new email address for Defensive Edge SLR15 Rifles.
Please update your address books to our new address: sully@slr15.com
We will continue to receive emails at our old address until the summer of 2007. |

Sully's Thoughts on Training & Learning Continued - The Fifth Dojo Kun
Read the entire article at TacticalReality.com
These are a few of my thoughts on modern self defense and training principles.
For those of you that know me and some of my background, know that I have trained in the Japanese Arts since I was a small child. I bring many of these principles to our doctrine through body physics and mechanics, also in the spiritual aspect and thought.
You will see that I focus lots of body mechanics and physics on shooting foundations of how things work and recoil management. I was always taught that weapons are extensions of your arms and legs, so I view modern day self defense tools as extensions of the limbs.
You will also see that I am a firm believer in consistent training. Training means that one should seek out training knowledge from someone who has something to teach, but training also means practice of what you already know.
Sully's thoughts on Funakoshi Sensei's Dojo Kun - and the application to tactics and training
The Dojo Kun contains five "rules of the Dojo". This month I will share my thoughts on the fifth "kun":
5. Hitotsu! Kekki no yu o imashimuru koto.
Refrain From Violent Behavior
Control
A trained fighter is a person with a fierce competitive spirit and great strength so it is unfair to use it against an untrained person.
The karate-ka's spirit is unbeatable and must use his knowledge only for the sake of justice. A person of character can walk away from a fight because he is in control of his emotions and is at peace with himself. He does not have to test his abilities on the street. He wins without fighting and he will have no regrets because no one will be injured.
Refraining from violent behavior is hard to explain to many Westerners because of their environment, or the attitude of winning tournaments, and they want to do it as quickly as possible which is against the principles of karate-do and dojo kun.
It is therefore necessary for instructors to constantly remind the students of the importance of the dojo kun.
