Team SOFAST Protector Pocket Coach: Civilian Carry - Mindset, Precision, Field Reference

By Jeffrey Adams

The 12-page pocket field reference for the civilian who chooses to carry - built around the protector identity, not the reactive self-defense frame.

By Patch (Jeffrey Adams) - Green Beret - Validated - Special Forces 18D
Volume 1 - 2026 Edition

What's inside:

- Mindset Before Gear - why the protector mindset wins where defensive thinking fails
- The 4 Layers of Protection - avoid, de-escalate, disengage, engage
- Precision Fundamentals - grip, stance, sights, trigger, follow-through
- Under-Stress Shooting - the OODA loop, tachypsychia, the gap between range and reality
- Carry Logistics - IWB/OWB/appendix trade-offs, the reholster discipline
- Five Protector Drills - turn knowledge into reflex
- Legal Framework - Castle Doctrine basics, what to say and what NOT to say to police
- The Gear That Matters (and what doesn't)

Drawn from twenty-one years of Special Forces marksmanship and combatives doctrine, IDPA and USPSA competitive standards, the SFAUC Advanced Marksmanship Program, IPSC governing rules, and Force Science Institute peer-reviewed reaction-time research.

The gun is not the answer. The person carrying it is. This guide is for the people who'd run TO the threat to protect someone they love.
