The BLAST: basic learning accessory for safe training. is a purpose-built, on-body training solution engineered for disciplined repetition of holster work, presentation, and index—without the logistical overhead of a live range. Designed for both IWB and OWB carry, BLAST enables consistent, standards-based practice in controlled environments while reinforcing safe handling and responsible training culture. (Also: it’s foam. You’re about to get very serious about foam.)
Mission Profile
-
Enable high-frequency, low-risk repetitions of the draw stroke from concealment or duty-style carry.
-
Maintain consistent indexing, muzzle awareness, and trigger discipline through structured drills.
-
Reduce training latency by allowing immediate practice blocks wherever policy and supervision permit—garage, basement, hallway, or laundry-room kill house.
Operational Features
-
Dual-configuration carry: run IWB for concealed mechanics or switch to OWB for range-class scenarios.
-
Secure holster interface: positive, repeatable holstering feel to reinforce clean re-holster habits. (That satisfying “click” pairs well with coffee.)
-
Realistic workflow: supports dry-work progressions (garment clear → grip → lift → rotate → extend) and re-holster audits.
-
Noise signature: low. Threat notification: a dignified “pew.”
-
Recoil management: 0.0, but feel free to announce “manage recoil” for morale
