Here's another Iron Sights Podcast episode coming off SHOT Show 2025, featuring Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. When I started my journey to becoming more confident with firearms, I noticed nearly every instructor I trained with credited Scott for shaping their approach to shooting—especially with the red dot pistol. Despite hearing his name so often, I had never taken a Modern Samurai Project course—until about a week after this interview. After finally experiencing his instruction firsthand, I understood why so many top-tier instructors reference his methods.In this episode, we dive into Scott's unique path into firearms instruction and his remarkable rise in the industry. We discuss his philosophy on shooting and teaching, the principles behind his methodology, and the “why” that drives everything he does. Scott is one of the busiest instructors out there, running countless classes each year, and his insights are invaluable for anyone serious about improving their skills.Enjoy the show!Timestamps:00:00 Intro04:28 Scott Jedlinski's Background07:19 The Rise Of Modern Samurai09:35 Teaching And Competition19:06 Philosophy Of Instruction35:33 Growth Of Shooting Sports40:19 Changes In Instruction Methods42:54 Principles Vs.

In this episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we've brought on Richard Mo from Raven Wing Limited - a Los Angeles-based training company that offers firearms training ranging from basic pistol marksmanship up to more advanced carbine, pistol, and night vision training. In recent times, obtaining reliable firearms training has become a paradoxical endeavor, offering both convenience and challenges. While numerous reputable training companies exist, an equal number of unsafe or ineffective ones are preying on unsuspecting customers. Among the finest in the industry are Mo and his company, Raven Wing Limited, along with their network of well-known collaborators. They provide a diverse array of courses, ranging from fundamental firearms handling to advanced pistol and carbine training. Additionally, they offer personalized consultations and even night vision courses for those who have taken a liking to night-time range sessions. Operating from Los Angeles, California, one might expect Raven Wing to face fierce competition with hundreds of other well-known firearms trainers in the immediate area. However, they have adopted a unique approach by welcoming other trainers, including renowned figures like Scott Jedlinski from the Modern Samurai Project, Tim Herron Shooting, and JJ Racaza, previously featured on TFBTV. Today, we are joined by Mo to delve into the prevailing training trends in the firearms world. He will shed light on the preferred types of guns, optics, and holsters people are using for both competitive shooting and self-defense, as we progress nearly a quarter of the way through the 21st century. Please welcome Mo from Raven Wing Limited to the show! Raven Wing on Instagram Raven Wing on Facebook Raven Wing on YouTube Raven Wing Website - Sign up for Classes Here!

If you're a fan of performance based pistol training, you've no doubt heard of Scott Jedlinski, a.k.a. Jedi, and his company, Modern Samurai Project. Scott's teaching and knowledge has become well known, and well respected within our community for its effectiveness and it's proven results. In this week's discussion, I get to sit with Jedi for a few moments and talk to him about what led him to start teaching, why the focus on red dot optics and appendix carry performance, and more. The recurring themes in what has driven much of Scott's success come out in the discussion as we get into martial arts, controlling fights, building consistency, as well as having a aggressive and accountable mindset.

In Episode 28, Sofia interviews Chris Long, the Communications and Content Manager at Walther Arms USA concerning the Walther PDP F-Series. This version of the PDP firearm was made to fit the contour of a woman's hand and has many favorable features such as the reduced trigger reach, reduced grip circumference, and reduced slide force. These are only a few aspects that made the PDP-F an incredible option for women's concealed carry.  Chris also discusses the ramifications of using a red-dot along with his experience as a Modern Samurai Project Instructor and Competitive Shooter. Chris Long On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cannon762/?hl=en @cannon762If you are interested in exclusive content, become a Patreon via the linktree.Thank you to Ciguera Gear for sponsoring this episode.

An episode we have been looking forward to creating for quite some time: the story behind why we exist.We talk about how Raven Wing was formed and why, touch on our purpose, where we want to go and the community of shooters in So Cal we hope to help cultivate. We touch on vetting instructors, and close it out with some exciting product releases and partnerships and a couple of shoutouts to some companies - Ghostmen Designs and Stand 1 Armory, we fully support because we run their products. Sipping on some Eagle Rare, we had a blast making this episode and hope you enjoy and get motivated to join us on the range. 

AJ Zito is a gunsmith and practical shooter. He designs and makes custom 1911s and also competes in action shooting sports such as USPSA and IDPA. He is one of the few people I know that has actually gone to a three year gunsmithing school (something that sounds incredibly cool!) AJ currently is one of the assistant instructors with Scott “Jedi” Jedlinski from Modern Samurai Project and travels to many of the classes with him around the county. I had a really nice talk with AJ and look forward to hearing more from him as he starts up his podcast again. Links mentioned in the show: https://www.practicalperformance.org/

Another format departure as we feature another of the Raven Wing founders Ethan Fleitas, who coincidentally reveals one of the greatest nicknames during the episode. Ethan has a fascinating story of his journey into firearms which began in his childhood. Grab a drink of choice and buckle up. One of our longer episodes but well worth the listen as Ethan shares his story, his passion for teaching and how Raven Wing came into existence. He shares how he became the Mozart of zeroing IR devices on carbines, how and why he got so nice with the level III retention holsters and shares where you can see him on both TV and Movies as we talk about his acting career with a little sneak peak of what its like to be on set. 

A quick format departure in this episode to feature one of the Raven Wing OG's Richard Mo. Born in raised in So. Cal, Mo has an interesting journey into firearms instruction and this episode will leave you just enough of that story to come back for more. Mo shares how Raven Wing Limited was formed, how the company has evolved and what some of our aspirations are in the next few years. We define "performance" shooting, the ever blurring line between tactical and competition and how important it is to lock in the fundamentals and the process so you can free up the bandwidth to problem solve. We do a quick debrief on our inaugural USPSA Bootcamp collaboration class with Fabio from My Own Defender ( www.myowndefender.com ) which we hosted this past weekend and talk a little about our continued to goal to service local Law Enforcement Professionals and keep bringing the best instructors behind enemy lines here in So.

With Scott "Jedi" Jedlinski and AJ Zito back in town we had to sit down with another former guest, Fabio Spinella to chop it up. Hosted by Jedi, in this episode we discuss how we chase performance goals, challenges, and competitive classifications. Talk a little about what motivation and why you should shut your trap when watching someone chasing glory. A fantastic conversation with some amazing instructors and human beings this episode is a goldmine for considering how to think about measuring your performance, seeking adversity in your training and why its important to always seek the "why."Fabio, of My Own Defender, is the most recent F.A.S.T. Coin earner (#23) and listening to Fabio and Jedi (F.A.S.T.

We have Scott Jedlinski back for a 2nd show, going into a Red Dot deep dive, Scott's JiuJitsu journey, the crews current BJJ Fanatics video studies.  Scott also hits on the fallacy that some instructors are pushing which is that you don't need to focus on performance in your firearms training yet more on things you cant measure like awareness, tactics and what not; he explains why this is a falsehood.   Bio: Scott "Jedi" Jedlinski of the Modern Samurai Project is a life long martial artist in TKD, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and shooting. He is a Master class shooter in USPSA and is one of the industry leaders in the use of red dot optics (RDOs) on pistols. He is one of the most sought after instructors in this quickly evolving technology in firearms.  This episode Aaron interviews Scott in a deep dive into the Red Dot Optics and their execution on pistols.  Scott provides master class tips on how to run them effectively and provides a contrast between RDOs and iron sights putting to bed so many of the often sighted issues with the technology.  Listen and get your learn on.   Scott has taught members of the Pentagon ERT, US Marshal's Service, NYPD Instructor Cadre, Chicago SWAT, Ohio Tactical Officers Association, and FBI National Tactical Training Unit and multiple other SWAT teams around the US and much more.    For more information on Scott and to get into one of his sold out classes:  www.mordernsamuraiproject.com/    Check out our awesome sponsors below and provide them your patronage as it helps us: Please subscribe and share our podcast with friends and family.  Visit our website for bios, future events and info at www.evosec.org  Like, follow and share us on Facebook and Instagram @evosecusa WE ARE PUMPED TO HAVE A NEW AFFILIATE LINK FOR ORIGIN AND JOCKO FUEL!!!  Help support this show by purchasing any of your JiuJitsu gear, Jocko Supplements, books clothing and more... link below.

Your small private outdoor range is nestled in a hill, in the middle of 48 acres, and even it is facing a similar crisis. Talk to us about what is happening. 2) What does it boil down to? Is this a 2nd Amendment issue, a Special Land Usage Zoning, or a Noise Ordinance issue? 3) How helpful would it be to you and your neighbors if we had passed the Hearing Protection Act to make suppressors more practical to own? 4) If you could tell the neighbors ONE THING THAT MAY CHANGE THEIR MIND, what would it be? 5) What is your greatest NEED currently? How can we help not just your small outdoor range, but other small outdoor ranges overcome similar issues?

In the this episode, we talk to our friend Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. We discuss his origins, the pursuit of the red dot, the development of his Black Belt Standards, as well as why competition is so important for all shooters! "Drifter" Courtesy of ©NADA Copyright Free Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIhvAThPer8&list=WL&index=85&t=16s

Today we discuss with Matthew Little on his philosophy on how to get better. From his early days in the Martial Arts to being a Green Beret and SWAT Team Member and how competition has improved the way he teaches CQB.

Welcome to the We Like Shooting show, Episode 274 - tonight we’ll talk about Motorola Talkabout walkie’s, the MOLOT Super Vepr, shootout challenge, pistol red dots, Modern Samurai Project and more! Our cast for episode 274 is Shawn Herrin, Aaron Krieger, Savage1r, Jeremy Pozderac, Nick Lynch!

Jon Dufresne and Scott Jedlinski are two up in coming instructors.  They are the new generations of firearms preachers who take what is known about shooting and format it to a more modern approach. Jon is a former Army Ranger who now teaches for Sage Dynamics and for Frank Proctor.  Jon not only was a guest of the podcast but was a Shooter’s Summit instructor.    Scott Jedlinski or “Jedi” teaches under his own company, Modern Samurai Project and is an avid Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and master class competitive shooter. Both teach classes with the red dot sight on pistols and that’s where I was with them.  On today’s podcast, I’m recording a different kind of interview.  I interview both Jon and Jedi after day one of the Modern Samurai Project’s Red Dot Pistol Course at the awesome Homestead Training Center in Homestead FL. So a couple of notes.  Yes, this is being recorded on a live range at the end of the day and “That Guy” showed up at the very end to shoot in the next bay.  He had to dump his ammo.  So that being said, there will be some gunshots in the background.  Also, I learned that the type of mic you use on a range is important and I had to use some noise reduction on Jon’s and Jedi’s tracks..so you don’t need to tell me your heard some hiss in the background.  You might not notice it. I’m learning the red dot myself and I’ll be competing with it and this year’s IPSC Nationals next week.  Lots of knowledge bombs in the range podcast.  Enjoy… Links mentioned on the podcast: Sage Dynamics Modern Samurai Project Please SUBSCRIBE and leave a REVIEW.  It takes a second but means A LOT... Join the Nation!..

Scott Jedlinski also known as “Jedi” which is a very cool nickname to have, better than “gopher”..Scott is the brains and teacher for the Modern Samurai Project which is his training company.  His primary focus is teaching students the fundamentals of shooting their handguns with mini red dot sights or RDS.  Red dots on handguns are here and will be the future of shooting.  Jedi also competes in USPSA as a Master class shooter in Carry Optics.  He uses competition as a way to becoming a better shooter. Scott is a strong proponent of hand to hand combat and regularly studies Brazilian jiu-jitsu.  The similarity between BJJ and shooting is something Jedi teaches to his students.  Finally, Scott is a sponsored shooter and shoots for Agency Arms with their Glock 34.  Three takeaways from today's episode are 1) proving that red dot sights can shoot fine in the rain 2) Cat Crap is not from the litter box but is actually a great product that keeps glass from fogging up and 3) you can run a compensated pistol as an every day carry gun. I am very excited to bring you an up in coming instructor today, so let's get into the interview.
