Welcome to the daily self defence training tips.
​Today we are looking at the best training gun for class.

Ladies and gents,
Check out this training gun!

When I first started out as an instructor I brought a bunch of the cheapest training equipment that met the standard. The rubber training guns I got are the yellow ones that are a popular choice and they cost around $10-13 each. They do the job, we are able to train and they are easy to clean... BUT... the are a little more flexible than I'd like, on a disarm they tend to bend, especially in the warm.

After a while, I started to buy better quality kit. I was doing personal training and individual Krav Maga/self defence classes, so I purchased 1 quality set of everything I used. Great hook and jab mitts, an awesome kick shield and a padded suit... as well as awesome training weapons.

The training knifes I brought we from Cold Steel, and the training Guns are from Blueguns.

If you have every held one you'll know what I am talking about. Blueguns are the most detailed, accurate and extensive line of firearm simulators on the market today. All of the products are detailed replicas of actual weapons designed for law enforcement and military training, which fits nicely into the Krav Maga world. Each product is made with strong, impact-resistant polyurethane with steel reinforcement. This is key as it prevents bending and flexing while maintaining the detail, handling and balance of the actual weapon they represent. Each model is fabricated in "Law Enforcement Blue" - the most recognized safety color in the world. They are a realistic & safe alternative to using live firearms in training situations

The Blueguns great but they are more expensive. To be honest the yellow ones are fine for the most part... but as they get used and warm up, they do flex more. So I haven't traded out the entire set just yet. But over time I will.

Thanks for reading,
​Benjamin
