From the time I was first contacted and throughout the development of the project it has always been "Personal Defense TV," to my knowledge... I understand that there was a screw up on some cable company listings for some reason.

Name: PERSONAL DEFENSE TV
The show's name has never changed. My proposal for the show had it as "Personal Defense TV" back in December of last year.
That was the working title, and is the permanent title. As Rob said, there was a glitch on the cable/satellite system program guide for a couple of weeks, but the show (when you watch it) was always PDTV. We just put some photos from the S&W Invitational I attended last week on the new www.guntalk.com web site. Still filling in some of the hole on the site, but at least it's up. And the archives/podcasts of the radio show are up, too. |

I've caught a few episodes so far, and think it has strong potential. When it comes out on DVD, I'm in.

I'm watching it on my DVR right now. The only complaint I have is that the background music that is going on during discussions is distracting and loud.. it could stand to be turned down a bit.

Ditto on the annoying background music - too loud, totally unnecessary and distracting. Its otherwise an excellent program, but the music dumbs it down.

Interesting that you guys would mention that. On Thursday, I met with the key people on the show and told them that we must turn down the music.
Great minds, and all that. <grin> |

PDTV - you guys are off to a great start. Keep the CCW stuff coming. And, please continue with the good product integration in the "lessons". The other gun shows have turned into little more than infomercials. I loved Ayoob's J-frame pocket carry tips. Good stuff - keep it coming!

I regularly watch, or have watched, most of the gun-centric shows on OLN and O'door Channel, and SDTV is the most useful to me. The others have their merits, but endless product reviews, pro match coverage, and (most especially) criminally insipid segments like those G&A "torture" tests, get a bit old. I do find Shooting Gallery generally informative, as well.

Man, I wish the show were an hour long! Reading on the internet and reading books is one thing, but watching techniques demonstrated by people is great to watch. I particularly like the Reality Check segment.. always some good info there.

No he hasn't given up the 1911. Its just that Springfield became a big sponsor of the show, and when they sent them a few XD's he liked them and thought they were one of the ideal self/home defense guns.
I myself own an XD and its a great pistol. Its an XD9 Service model. I have put about 5k rounds through mine and have only had 1 malfunction which was an FTE(failure to eject). All in all they are great pistiols and are becomeing more popular by the day! Blake. |

I've noticed the volume is way down on the music now and it's much easier to concentrate on what's being said. Thanks

I showed my wife the episode about the AR as a home defense weapon.
I plowed through about $1300 recently on a Bushmaster XM-15 modular carbine. I love it, but she has questioned the "need" for it. Thanks to Tom, she understands now. Great stuff! |

Uh... pics of the carbine would be appreciated.
I also caught this last episode; thought it was great. I was pleased to see the "keyboard guitar rock" volume level was no longer an issue. Shooting a .50bmg rifle - prone - from on top of a moving motor coach bus? Priceless. |

I love that show. It really ticks my wife off, when I get up from watching something with her at 10:30 on Sundays to go watch. I have to keep explaining that it's the only time the show runs.

yes they do repeat the episodes. Thw 1st one I recorded was on a Sunday afternoon. But I think they come on different times of the week. I'm not surre as I have the DVR recording using the name "personal defense TV. Hey Tom how can a fan get one of those "PDTV" caps you wear?

Had the wife watch the 5 things to do after a shooting.
Ayoob gave 5 things to do say after a shooting.
He said do not just shut up and yell lawyer. 1) Tell the police "there is the man that attacked me" 2) Tell the police you will sign a complaint against your attacker. 3) Point out evidence. 4) Point out witnesses. 5) Tell the police you will fully cooperate in 24 hours after consulting with an attorney. I recorded 2 episodes on my TVO and enjoyed both today. I have it set up to record all episodes. I am also recording American Rifleman and Guns and Ammo. Great TV on the outdoor channel and I hear no anti-gun rhetoric. |

This last season's worth of programs was top-notch except for the ammunition episode...
I know Hornady makes great ammo. I carry 200gr XTPs in my 1911 but was still a little put-off by the show... How much free ammo and cash does Hornady give you guys to be the only ammunition maker ever mentioned? That ammunition show was nothing more than an infomercial for Hornady so it went well beyond the realm of regular product-placement... It better be a lot or you guys are being taken. |

Well I somewhat agree with the gratutious use and mention of Hornday, but let's face it, the first season of a TV show is somewhat at the mercy of the advertisers, and this initial blatant advertising and the money that comes from it may be necessary to ensure a future for the show. After all, TV wouldn't exist without advertising. Same with radio.
I think once PDTV gets a larger fan base, and it's proven that a certain number of people watch it, they will have a little more say over what gets advertised and how. At least, that's the way I see it. Anyone else care to comment? Tom, give us some e-mail addresses and phone numbers of people we can contact to tell them how much we like the show. |
