Thanks Shawn.
Thank you both for your service
Rock on 🍻
Wow with that ending…
All I want for Christmas is an SRS Patreon subscription….
Great work sir!
Shawn, check out the Holosun EPS Carry for your p365 or the 509T if you are looking bigger. The Aimpoint acro 2 is also something to investigate.
Tier 1 operator carrying a holosun. And you got range operators and weekend warriors that still swear aimpoint and trijicon are the only red dots that will ever work. If it’s good enough for him as a civilian it’s good enough for 99% of us.
There is nothing wrong with Holosun at all. There are a lot of good red dots out nowadays. I really like my Sig
Good point. I happen to like all 3!
HOLOSUN SALES JUST SKYROCKETED!!😂😂😁
I still love my iron sites. I don’t hate red dot, I just haven’t used one much and I’m fine with either way. Doesn’t bother me. Only have one weapon with a red dot. These guys are a wealth of information and some of us in the 2a community can use some humbling.
Meh, you speaking about a dude who don’t need sights. Trijicon is king son. Holosun is Chinese garbage. Lol I’m totally kidding. I love my rmr but next red dot I get I’m going holosun for the money and the reticle. Holosun is really dope man. Aaron Cowan has proved that over and over
“There’s a massive difference between paranoia and preparation.”

YEP!
Is it far fetched to think that the oil wars of the past could possibly be the water wars of the future ?
Situational awareness is paramount at all times
Preparation H. Always on hand. Always ready.
Just spoke to my therapist today and brought up how a stray round hit my household in Chicago. In that same timeframe, my father was at a Sam’s club while there was an active shooter.
Long story short, growing up in Chicago and being deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan has definitely taught me how important preparation is. But my therapist had the audacity to hint that I am being paranoid and shouldn’t carry a firearm…
I stood ground and told her that it’s better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.
Stay frosty boys!
If you're a dude, get a dude therapist. Women therapists are too programmed by feminism and wokeism to be helpful to any man. Even better if u can find an older, hetero man, although not necessary per se...but being a dude IS (if you're a dude).
I hope you find a new therapist and move the fuccc out of Chicago. The block is way too hot my friend.
should have hit me he therapist with “why would I be paranoid? I have a gun.”
Stay strong brotha
son you need to fire that therapist shes a liability and an idiot
GET A NEW THERAPIST!
This is WTF I like, break it down and explain the fine details of a sight picture. High level detail. This man has some real knowledge and I’m sure is a wonderful instructor.
Really loved the insight about how you don't even need the red dot to make a clear sight picture and using the window of glass as a reference for where the impact happens. I've been SUPER resistant to red dots on pistols and while this hasn't changed my mind over 3dot tritium iron sights it has slightly moved the bar further towards the other end.
@@cleric670 that information is everywhere
@@cleric670 hesitated for 6 years. I'll never go back. It's one of those things that feels wrong because it's THAT much of an improvement. At least for me. Whole new world, but the grass is green.
@@soevasive so is ur negativity apparently
Back in the day I used to EDC my Glock 22 un-chambered and I was able to successfully draw, rack, and hit one of my targets during a attempted robbery. When hindsight kicked in shortly after the incident I realized that the circumstances that allowed me to do so were one of a kind and very unique, and if it weren’t for those particular circumstances, then I probably wouldn’t be alive today. That’s the day that I started caring in one in the chamber.
Smart man
ONE IN THE PIPE
Took me a while to commit to one in the chamber in the pistol 100% of the time,
Never had that issue with a rifle or shotgun they were always ready to rock and roll
@@emptynester9241 which is funny, because pistols are generally drop safe while rifles and shotguns aren't
I carried a Glock on duty for 21 years and as a retiree for 13 now. Always with a round in the chamber. I've still never had a negligent discharge. We were flat out told that we would carry our guns with rounds in the chamber and there was no debate to be had on that.
I love listening these guys who have been operating for years. The level of detail that you get from Unit guys is fascinating. I watched a video of Larry Vickers (a couple of generations behind Kyle) and they both share the same detail (Larry was describing bolting a king-size mag-lite on a MP5 back in the day). Their parallel assessment and evaluation of a tool (in this case a red dot vs the mag-lite) really shows the level of investment these men had in their trade and the advancement of technology. We had a 1SG in 3rd Rangers (Pat Hurley, RIP) who had spent years in the Unit and returned to the Regiment. The man was a wealth of knowledge. He'd walk behind a young 20 year-old fire team leader clearing a room and drop these small pearls of wisdom that saved lives. Proud to be an American and proud of these men who stood the line for our freedom and our children's safety. Thanks to you too Shawn, for the same reasons, your podcasts are excellent.
Sua Sponte.
Lol Larry vickers is awesome I'd say he's a "few" generations away from this guy not a couple though lol I'm just joking man

The notion that the U.S. military fights for our freedom and safety has been extremely doubtful for at least the last four decades.
I agree. Without any of the “chest-beating”. Just men talking about their jobs with calm clarity.
The best part of this interview begins at 10:30, when Kyle and Shawn discuss mental preparation for a gunfight. This is really worth watching again and again.
2nd that
Definitely train with distractions. Stretch a bit then go outside and run a few 40s and get that heart muscle pumping THEN try to shoot well!
@@maconpatton it doesnt matter how much you train, if you dont have live trigger time, or you dont do an obscene amount of training your 1st engagement, if it ever happens, youll be shaking like a baby rattle, its just what it is, ive seen dudes in ramadi back in 06 who i thought were the hardest motherfuckers id ever known freeze like a popsicle on their 1st raid, literally go from 100 to 0 combat ineffective in 15 seconds, granted i was only standard grunt, im sure its different for T1 operators and special forces.
Agree 👍🏻
Completely agree. This guy’s whole interview was full of a lot of deeper moments and considerations like this and it was very thought-provoking.
How cool to hear a delta guy discuss moral injury - I’d love to hear more on this topic.
At 10:33 when you ask what is the biggest mistake people make about their EDC and his answer was so spot on. So many people go out get a concealed carry permit and yet have never truly asked themselves can they pull that trigger to kill another human being? No one knows for sure until they do just that. I was glad you asked that and his answer was worth paying close attention to. Thanks Shawn
It’s nice seeing how big your podcast and channel has grown. Keep up the great work man🤙
Cheers thank you for the kind words
Michael Zarate Agreed. I started watching after the DJ interview, it’s grown a lot in the last year.
@@ShawnRyanShow yes, absolutely agree. What a tremendous distance the show has come,great job man. I started with the how to set-up a carbine episode then right to the Mike Ritland and then Mike Glover episodes. Have since trained a couple times with Fieldcraft this year and became a patron yesterday to help support the outstanding things you are doing for our Veterans and our community as a whole. Great job,sir! Keep up the great work,always looking forward to the next episodes but now I can watch the stuff on Patreon as I patiently wait. (Edited for spelling)
Shawn is a solid listener. Personally I believe that is a very valuable asset he brings to the show.
What? He IS the show.
He’s such a calm man, the violence he’s capable of must be incredible.
Maybe my comment came off a little naïve, of course all humans are capable of violence, but him specifically with his training and experience. Like somebody said, it’s the level of control he has that would put it on another level.
You can’t tell how vicious or passive a dog’s bite is by just listening to his bark.
It's the calm normal guys like him you have to watch out for but ya i agree with you
We're all capable of violence. He's trained and in control, so much less dangerous than the avg person or criminal roaming around.
@@vincedee6607 I agree, but when he chooses to act out the violence, then he is the biggest thread to criminals und the biggest hope for civilians.
He seems to be a great guy 👍
I would also point out his moment of contemplation about the personal toll of taking another life, justified or not. We can try to rationalize and justify to ourselves but the majority of people will carry that with them and it will haunt them even if they dont admit it openly. I think that is very profound of him.
Shawn I was watching some of your older gun reviews. Watching them it is very obvious how tight you were wound back then. Good for you acknowledging what you didn’t like and making the changes. Your a real inspiration. You deserve every good thing you have going on. I can’t wait to see the channel get even bigger.
Videos like these are the ones that deserve millions of views. Been watching your channel since day one Shawn. Thank you for sharing great videos and I’m so happy that we as the viewers get the privilege to hear and see all these badass people share their stories.
Shawn, Your interviews are the absolute best out there. I really appreciate the way you let them tell their story and listen instead of leading them on and constantly interrupting like you see some others do. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do.
So I watched the full interview….heartbreaking what you have been through. Listening to the trials of men like yourself makes me complain less and appreciate more. Very proud of you and also of Shawn for continuing to bring the Heat on this awesome channel!
Good stuff Shawn and VE. I like when you and/or your guests get into the “why” they do/don’t do, carry/don’t carry, etc. certain things. I like hearing the different perspectives especially from Top Tier warriors who have the real world experience to be passing along information on what works and what doesn’t.
Kyle is such a great guest, I would love to see more content with him. Keep up the great work Shawn!
I'd like to 2nd this. He's probably your most interesting, or intriguing guests that's been on. He's got this Zen thing going on.
i was hesitant to start a 5 hour episode.. but after reading most the comments ill have to commit to giving the whole episode a shot
From the 10:30 mark of this video, I've sent this to two young men who are new to carrying. This is golden information to this younger generation, and even the older range guys whom have this "tacti-cool" dream of how they'd handle a shooting. Thank you for this Sir.
That was a great interview in it entirety-thanks for also breaking it down into bite sized segments. Great job!
Shawn, these conversations are getting better by the episode! Keep em coming!
I have a deep appreciation for your guest and what he had to say. My appreciation is on several genres, spiritual, personal strughle and working through it trough treatment, practical, as a veteran. I carry emergency equipment to serve others and myself. I always have to work with the balance between prepared and paranoia. Deep thanks to your guest.
Love your platforms- genuine, honest, emotional and self-aware guests, stumbled upon tik tok and have watched everyone of them. I can relate on multiple levels; 10 years active duty Navy EW1 combat operations at sea 9545 LES/Law Enforcement Officer on shore.
Separated-continued education, M.A. psychology and certified CPT provider for PTSD/Trauma-one of the first in the state (TX) in conjunction with the VA and community MH providers. Licensed Professional Counselor and opened the Office Military and Veterans Services at West Texas A&M University-Director from 2012-2022, now private practice clinical therapy.
This episode struck me as it is exactly what I say to my wife about her EDC Sig 9, no use to you without one in the chamber, the activating event will not pause for you dig it out of the little bag in your big bag and rack one while coming up on target.
Sorry this was so long, but really just wanted to say thank you, to you and your guest for sharing and hopefully helping others. I can say, I use some of the same methods in my practice, challenging beliefs, old habits, reality checking, etc.
Great work, keep it up, and know that I have had the opportunity to parlay something from one of one of your platforms almost everyday for the past couple of weeks--meeting them were they are, right. Actually one young man asked me about the "redhead that looked like me, oh crap Chechen..."
Its crazy how young Kyle looks. That baby face soft spoken outter shell hides a straight savage inner core. I appreciate him sharing knowledge on EDC with us. Thanks Shawn for giving him a platform!
Kyle Morgan is a down to earth man, very intelligent, well articulated, with a heart of gold. I wish unlimited happiness to he and his wife Erica. God bless 🙏🏼
Wisely said 💪🇺🇸 Thank you for your service,courage and sacrifice. 🇺🇸
You’ve done some incredible interviews, but this one is awesome. The advice or information provided by this Delta Force Operator is priceless and should be taught in all firearms courses for civilians!
Hot Damn! Kyle has hit every nail on the head. Have the conversation with yourself, what will you do when the time comes. No talking them down, you don't have your PBA on to deflect their bullets. You are not firing a warning shot or shoot to wound. You are about to kill someone, take a life. If you can't do it, don't carry as a threat. Thanks Shawn, for inviting Kyle and Thanks Kyle for speaking plain and simple terms in black and white.
Fantastic interview! Can't get enough of your show/interviews. Thanks for the great content.
Quality quality quality straight talk on CCW. The introspection he’s talking about is totally missing from a lot of the 2A chatter. Great dialogue here. Thank you!
I've listened to a few of your podcast episodes while at work (my job has afforded the opportunity to listen to this and other podcasts, it's been awesome), and I just wanted to say that, in general, I really like the way you do these interviews. You'll ask a question and then just shut up and let the person talk. You don't interrupt, even if the guest seems to go off topic, you just let them take the wheel. If they seem bothered by something, you'll stop and ask if they're okay talking about whatever. Just a real relaxed way to run a podcast, Shawn. Great work.
Such valuable information for free. Thank you both for what you have done and currently do for all of us!
Great interview. You provided an excellent no pressure environment to allow him to fully flesh out what he was saying and get it across completely. Great thoughts and insights!
What a conversation. Wow. Thank you both
Probably the most well spoken person I've ever listened to.
Such a great perspective coming from such high caliber men. The shared life experience that most will never live is priceless. Truly appreciated. Thank you for putting out content like this.
When I see this man’s smile in photos. Knowing how I used to do that through terrible bad depression and pain, seeing it in this dude just makes me feel for him even more.
Fantastic interview as always Shawn. You're the best in the business.
Something your guest said was so simple but so true: Paraphrasing,
Concerning EDC ,"It's not for show. " Too many in the gun community need to take his words to heart.
After getting out I work as a network engineer doing IT shit, this show keeps me connected to my service so thank you very much
The conversation with yourself on if your prepared for your life and soul to change when you use this weapon is one of the deepest things I’ve ever heard. Resonated with me very hard. Many people carry and are not prepared for what’s to come, like he said, it may have been for the good reason, but that’s not the point.
One of the most important lines ever is there is a massive difference between paranoia and preparation. Prior LE and look at a rookie belt setup and a 15-year vet setup. Way different. Thank you for your channel and the real information you bring from our nation's unsung but true heroes. Peace from Texas.
Can’t see the belt on the 15 year vet due to his massive, nasty, gut.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to both of you. I appreciate you and have nothing but respect for you.
Love what your doing sir. Don’t know what I’d do without this show.
Those are true facts right there and thank you both for your service 🇺🇸.
This convo was over flowing w/ Intelligent Logic & Reality !!! Bravo !!!!
That was a great discussion, thank you both.
Shawn excellent interview as always . A mature and thoughtful, presentation of mindset coupled with awareness. Don’t always check in with 2A content like I should, much more into cooking and living lately lately. Stay blessed and thank you.
Absolutely spot on interview. I think everyone who carries a weapon, as I do, should watch this interview. Particularly compelling was the “conversation with yourself” part. When I started carrying I found myself reflecting on the realities of the responsibility of possibly using deadly force. For me the imprimatur was I carry for three reasons; 1) to protect my life and the lives of my family, 2) to defend the lives of the innocent, and 3) to assist LEOs under assault. When I arrived at those rationales I realized that I had effectively removed the mystery of making a life altering decision. Great interview Shawn! Bravo Zulu shipmate.
Great stuff as always. Thanks for pulling this content together.
Great short but packed video! Inspirational show Shawn !
Awesome convo. Sean I have always loved the practicality you bring with edc and I died when he said he uses a red dot. Haven’t made the leap yet, still love the old iron. I love the paranoia vs preparation. I keep my bag “loaded” and try to keep the amount of things on my person to a minimum. Gun, knife or multi tool, keys, wallet, spare mag, flashlight occasionally.

Definitely interested in a video showing how he uses a prusik as a tourniquet! Never seen or heard of that technique. Love the content Shawn
I started to watch this a number of times and stopped just bc I hate the whole “tacticool” thing, but I finally watched it to the end and I’m glad I did. Excellently done, intelligent content. Ty
What an excellent conversation. Kyle is obviously a wise and measured individual.
Appreciate you and your team Shawn 🇺🇸
Thank you!
I have Holosun's on my G34 and my EDC G48, no issues with either so far, just switch out the battery once a year. The optic on the 48 has been dropped on concrete a couple of times. Sage Dynamic's reviews of Holosun products are proof of their reliability.
I just bought a Holosun this feels good to hear I was worried about me regretting it
Incredible thanks Sean and Kyle
definitely one of the best interviews i've seen on this show.
I appreciate the sincerity in Kyle's responses here, much respect to you both, thanks for sharing your perspectives on these extremely important topics.
Thanks for commenting I have something for you text me on telegram to claim your prize..................🎁
This conversation is dense, and truely gets down the heart of concealed carry. Everything said was relevant with a distinct purpose, no fluff, just wisdom through experience.
Shawn killing with these interviews and Patreon is 🔥 with all the available knowledge
This man is amazing, he’s so down to earth, I would take his advice
Such a pleasure seeing Kyle on here. Worked with him in 03’ when he was a young paratroop. Congrats on the channel and your ever growing audience my man. Cheers.
Hminus!
So glad this guy blew up honestly amazing stuff
great interview--appreciate his thoughts/experience and words of caution
Great conversation really enjoyed his perspective on what edc means to him it’s so honest and obvious that’s it’s more than just pocket jewelry. Thanks Sean hope this becomes a topic discussed with future guests .
Absolutely love the content man! Been a fan for years! Keep it up!
Shawn, this is great info. Your podcast is my favorite vet podcast out there. Your ability to ask questions and get good info from the guests without making the whole podcast about you, is refreshing. I've listened to other vet podcasts like Andy Stumph, and yours is lightyears better. Andy is a condescending elitist. Others are varying degrees of this. You, Pat McNamara and Jocko are the best out there. Thanks!
Unreal podcast that made for some great clips too, thanks to you both
Much respect to both of these guys 👊
Thanks for commenting I have something for you text me on telegram to claim your prize............🎁
Shawn your almost to a million subs congrats! I love the show and greatly appreciate the platform.
Man Kyle is seriously the coolest mist humble human being. Especially the job he held and things he's done. He's just such a good guy.
Dude your chuckle is so genuine and comforting from someone so on there shit!
I love these Delta guys. Very intelligent, articulate and matter of fact. I like to think I have a pretty good BS meter and when these guys speak it doesn't go off one bit. I just sit and listen closely and soak it in. Thanks for quality work Shawn.
Shawn your getting better at interviewing, I see that you have a strength in your interviewing personality, you let people speak, you don't rush the interview, I like that
Just priceless advise...keep it up Shawn, you served us while in the Seals and now as a civilian...cheers!
Great conversation!!
Shawn’s “god dammit “ moment when he says he carry’s a red dot. Cheers and thank you both 🇺🇸
Wow! That was indeed great conversation 👏🏻🤙🏻
That was one of the most fascinating, well thought out conversations I have ever seen
The more I see on social media of the whole Tactical Operator drama stuff (don't get me wrong, I love watching pros room clearing and dropping knowledge) the petty infighting, and the fact that everyone and their dog are doing gear reviews and running and gunning cool stuff...the more I appreciate your podcasts.
I really like your style of interview, letting these men really pour themselves out there and letting us civilians hear and know what it's really like out there for them, how much they sacrifice.
Your channel is unique and always a breath of fresh air compared to yet ANOTHER "Best Combat Red Dot Review" from internet Operator #46. 😅
Well said 👏
As an instructor I tell people 3 things
-Buy what is reliable
-Use what you are comfortable with
-Train, train, train and do it through stress
I have enjoyed All of these interviews but I have to say that this one is The Best. Common sense information to help good guys get home safely to our families
Such a valuable conversation. Thanks guys! 😊❤
All interviewers should use these interviews for training, hands down the best interviews with the best people without a doubt.
agree
Good to hear you mention Holosun. We sell a lot of them and it’s great to hear from a real operator they trust them. Helps us recommend them even more. They are a great value and have great features.
Hey shawn. Love all your content keep doing what youre doing. God bless
Thanks for tuning in!
Well said. Appreciate the knowledge.
Awesome work. Keep them coming.
Love this interview. A lot of people feel and act as if they’re tougher because they have a firearm. If you don’t have any deescalation skills, then you don’t need a firearm. It’s the last resort.
Shawn, I love the way you didn’t bring in your expertise and allowed the tactical youth to explain his red dot views. That was so awesome. I also loved the discussion about the self talk concern taking a life. My saying has always been “ if you are ever involved in a self defense shooting, your life is going to change and not for the better.” That “mark on the soul” is heavy and you carry it no matter how you took the life in favor of your own. Great episode.
Best one yet; thank you.
Fantastic interview! Well done and very sell said. God bless and be safe.
Love this guy - thank you for bringing sobriety to the carrying convo. Deciding to carry is a heavy decision and 9/10 guys I’ve met have not had this convo with themselves.
9/10 guys I’ve met have had this conversation years before they started carrying. You need to be around BETTER people.
As if you are a “better “ person? I’m
Around very good people.
Even carrying 24/7 and being military I take this advise to heart!
Thank you, Kyle and Shawn. This nugget is gold. I needed this. Merry Christmas, from Mboro TN
Broke down in Murfreesboro beautiful town!
What an amazing interview! Once in a life time thing right there
"If I take my gun out, my everyday carry gun, I'm killing someone...It's not there for me to de-escalate." Hot damn, some sobering words. I wish more people had this mindset and understood the implications of it. So great to have that reality check by a true professional who has the experience and understanding of the gravity of making such a decision.
Really liked when he talked about having that conversation on why we carry. My dad is a cop and he always stressed to me the consequences of using a firearm. I grew up with a perspective on the aftermath and damage that a firearm can cause because he wanted me to be safe and responsible when I'd go out in the woods with my 22.
My dad bought us airsoft BB guns when we were kids even my sister and then he had us take a gun safety training class with BB guns lol. But I appreciate how he taught us to respect guns like that at a young age
Best part of an amazing interview. Very eye opening.
