I think I'd rather watch 10,000 hours of SWAT Magazine TV or Best Defense Survival than watch 10 minutes of the Kardashians or some other reality show bullshit.

And Janich and Pincus too if they live there. |

Every so often I go over to Mr Bane's website & read his latest on what's happening in the gun world. I think I first heard him on Tom Gresham's GunTalk, about the time they were discussing the AWB expiration. Or.. it could have been during the Lawful Commerce Protection Act vote, where John McCain stabbed us in the back (again). Either way, I like to see his take on the issues.
Don't have top tier cable, so haven't seen any of the TV shows. |

I listen to Bane's podcast regularly.
Let's see, he's over 50, cranky, loves to shoot, is pretty libertarian, and is knowledgeable about rock and roll. I think he's my fucking twin. |

Never seen the shows, but years ago had the chance to train one-on-one with Pincus. It was an extremely interesting session, I took quite a bit away from it, and he was an extremely gracious instructor. I can't comment on his particular style and beliefs based upon my own lack of experience, but I'd wager that he's a more well-rounded and solidly based instructor than many out there.

I don't really see Michael Bane as anything other than a TV host. I don't really recall him ever actually teaching anything or giving advice that wasn't extremely vague or common knowledge. I could be wrong' I've only been watching for a couple of years. ETA: Those multicam Hawaiian shirts are freekin sweet! Maybe not 80 bucks sweet, but sweet non-the-less.
Rob Pincus seems to absorb a lot, incorporate it, and give it back out. I think that's good. I find it interesting that he goes from instructor to instructor each week, on different shows, and they all seem to tell him to do things different. Somewhere between those who say "this is the only way," and those that say, "whatever works for you," seems to be where Pincus falls. I know Pincus is a member here, but I don't know about Bane. |

I like that Rob will show everyday situations that everbody may face. I usually take something away from each show. He presents the information in a straightforward manner that makes it very easy to understand. Thanks Rob. Mike seems to know his stuff and he seems to enjoy what he does and it shows. I like him. |

Rob Pincus and his buddy Mike Janich are great. Even my sons enjoy them.
Michael Bane does a great job as an host and entertainer, which is his thing, just like training is for the other guys. |

If we are talking about the same guy, Rob had an account here a few years ago and I exchanged PM's with him regarding his DVD's. Seemed like a good guy and was cool about answering questions.

I took a Pincus class.

We have 5 kids. Sometimes I don't know why we have other channels since we only watch Disney. If there is a shooting show on that I'm missing let me know the name so I can DVR it.

Between watching any of the gun shows verses some tofu eating #$^&# choke down a worm on a reality show............I think you know the answer to that question.
Regardless, I actually do pick up some interesting information on many of the shows. Pincus, Bane, Scouten and the rest of them do a good job in my opinion. I can see where it would be hard to come up with 10+ shows informing people how to IMPROVE instead of just doing the YouTube base ball bat to the balls and saying "probably not the best way to handle the situation". I REALLY enjoy the different caliber penetration tests that they run periodically. Unlike some of the folks that float through here that just don't seem to get it, they show VIDEO of it to prove it. Yes, you can kill your neighbor using your XXXXXX (you pick it) when that bullet goes through 8 sheets of drywall, your vinyl siding and their window. Doh! Regardless of it being a pistol caliber, its going to go somewhere and you need to educate yourself. Same with the personal defense tips. Bubba might be real pissed off at you when you cut his hamstring, but he's not going to run you down after that. I'll keep watching! |

I like Bane, I know him, great guy... I won't comment on Pincus, because I don't know him, and I get suspended every time I make a "other than nice" comment on someone who may be a member here (even though they are a "public" figure).
In the end, Instructors are all trying to get people in the same place, just different roads, different methods, different personalities. if they give something positive, good for them! A lot of animosity comes from pumping up a pretty weak background. Some like to use marketing. We're all on the same side though... ...as long as you're not a former CA LE who got nailed for fraud or a former jewler/general of your 12 man Dept, who's never been in a gunfight/alcoholic. |
