In this episode of Taking Aim, host Rich Nance sits down with retired Army veteran Chuck Pressburg (26.5 years, including a decade in the Ranger Regiment, R&D work for Army Special Operations Command, and a founding role in the Asymmetric Warfare Group), who now runs Presscheck Consulting. Chuck breaks down how his operational and gear-acquisition background shaped his civilian training career, including why he teaches citizens the same fundamentals he teaches the government while carefully vetting students and limiting what he publicly markets. The conversation digs into his No Fail Pistol and No Fail Rifle courses, why grip and consistent gun presentation matter more than gear, and his 30-plus years of experience with red dots, from the early Aimpoint-equipped Army units to today's pistol-mounted optics debate. It closes on his consulting work with companies like Blue Force Gear, B.E. Meyers, Staccato, and Chambers Custom, plus a push to help fund training for law enforcement through his partnership with the George Pastore Foundation.

Jokes aside, I really love seeing Chuck get his due; he’s given so much to the community but he also represents those of us in the middle ground who are misunderstood and derided by various dogmatic groups. His greater understanding of methods in their contexts and conveyance of such has done a lot for instructors and shooters everywhere.
