PMCI - November 2016
Welcome to the latest issue of PMCI, the only publication dedicated to PMC Operatives. With so much going on around us it is important that "skills and drills" up kept to date and PMCI was lucky enough to spend some time with CROPS, talking to them about their "Technical Surveillance & Cueing Course". We also had an in-depth conversation with Gerald Bailey from SUAREZ INTERNATIONAL, in South Africa, about about their new eBook, entitled "Dynamic Vehicle Combatives", which is an introduction into defending oneself both inside and outside of your vehicle, while Trampas looks at a great bit of gear that will truly help with your range training. We take a look at some of the latest gear, including UF PRO's Striker Stealth Smock and Delta Eagle Jacket, plus some excellent eye protection from BLUEYE and LOWA Task Force boots. 0241 Tactical come under the spotlight in "Meet the Manufacturer" and Trampas takes us to the edge with KRYPTEIA knives and gets up close and personal with SIG's 226 and 229. He also writes about a tradition that has been with us for hundreds of years and is as meanigful today as it was the the ancient Romans, the challenge coin. Andy looks at the pros and cons of revolvers and semi-auto pistols and also re-visits the use of an ISW holster and how to rectify some simple mistakes when carrying a concealed handgun.

FIREARMS: SIG<br />
JOINING THE SIG SAUER LEGION: 226 / 229<br />
In the world of the true modern warrior, there are view names in the military special ops, law enforcement and<br />
private contracting fields as highly regarded when it comes to the traditional double action combat pistol as<br />
Sig Sauer. Often heralded in the industry as being the “professional’s choice”, Trampas tells us that Sig Sauer<br />
continues to expand their catalogue of new and updated models using the direct feedback obtained by these<br />
real world users.<br />
In late 2015, Sig Sauer launched the new “Legion”<br />
series of firearms in the spirit of those elite operators<br />
around the world and the great Roman armies that are<br />
credited for personifying the “warrior mentality”.<br />
Currently, the Legion series consists of three pistol<br />
models (226, 226 SAO and 229) offered in three<br />
calibres (9mm, .357 Sig, and .40 S&W). For those of<br />
you not familiar with the standard versions of these<br />
pistols, the 226 has over the years become the<br />
yardstick to which most combat side arms are measured. The<br />
SAO models are basically the same pistol, but with a single<br />
action only trigger much like the classic 1911 in its action. The<br />
model 229, like the SAO, is based off the 226 but roughly 1 inch<br />
shorter in the barrel and grip to give shooters a slightly more<br />
compact 226.<br />
Recently, Sig Sauer shipped both the 226 and 229 from<br />
their Legion series for testing and evaluation. Both pistols were<br />
chambered in the NATO standard 9x19 along with several boxes<br />
of their SIG target (FMJ)and carry ammunition (JHP). Aside from<br />
the SIG provided ammo, I ran over 300 rounds of 115 grain (FMJ)<br />
ammunition from Fancy Brass Company (www.fancybrassco.<br />
com) as well. This has always proven to be reliable in any<br />
pistol I have tested and would show me if any malfunctions are<br />
