They don't push gear. PDT has strategic partnerships with equipment manufacturers (holsters, mag pouches, eyewear, personal defense solutions), but they're clear about one thing: confidence and proficiency with your equipment matters infinitely more than owning the "best" gear and never training with it. A shooter practicing regularly with solid equipment beats someone with premium gear gathering dust.
