Does this give you a different perspective on how you carry?

This guys looks as humble as his proficiency. Gonna take a look at the full episode. He’s legendary.

“I’m a little arrogant.. there will be weapons around” what a cold line, what a legend

Spoon is THE GNARLIEST WARRIOR to ever sit in that seat. Warrior Poet... done more in and out than most. Truly Legendary human being

Most people dont carry their Stoccato because its a $2500 plus gun, plus i dont think they make a micro pistol or even one small enough to easily conceal. This guy knows what that Staccato is actually for! Respect Mr Spooner, youre an absolute legend

He such a great person! I’m grateful and thankful for he and his wife and their facilities, ‘Warriors Heart’. It saved me from my addictions and wreck-less ways! Ty Tom!

Carrying a gucci 2011 is the most oldschool Delta Force Operator EDC I can imagine haha

He carries 1 item….a big set of brass balls!!!! 😅

I cannot wait for this full interview.. Amazing work continues Shawn. Thank you 🙏

Staccato. Wasn't expecting that one. Been seeing those grow super popular lately.

I'm looking forward to the full interview. It's amazing how so many of the Tier 1 guys Shawn has on his show come off as quiet and humble and unassuming. Tom seems to even more so than most, and it's almost hard to comprehend that guys so humble are the most dangerous men in the room.

Imma Civi never a Military man but you hear in the voice of how some of our Soldiers are the coolest average people going, down to earth. Thank you for your sevice in helping our men and women in the Australian armed forces.

Shawn I have been subbed to your channel when you had less than 5k subscribers. You are a perfect example of hard work and perseverance pays off. I have never been happier to see someone reach 1 mil then 2mil and so on as I was watching your channel grow. In my opinion and also a few friends of mine feel the same, you and your show both have surpassed Rogan. He may have bigger numbers but your shows have substance. You don’t interview people just to put a video out. I hope you and your team never change the way you do things sir. Thank you for your service to the country!!

I met Tom in the 90’s while he was in the 504 PIR… I served in the same platoon as Scot (D 4/325 AIR), his brother.

What does a delta force operator carry everyday? The weight of the world on his shoulders 🇺🇲🇬🇧. God bless them all and thank you brother in arms 🇬🇧

A man with his skills needs only a #2 pencil for close work.

Kind of wild that they “present” the pistol and don’t actually gift it

In this case as part of EDC, the people need to know who makes Tom's shirt, because that thing is a perfect blend of style that also says "I know what desert night camo is"

Excellent answer on #1 carry mistakes made. Knowing when to ....

Thank you for this intervue! It’s super good to hear this dude that know stuff and thought thing thru before they give advise.

Slight correction: Carrying a HP in NJ outside of one’s owned/leased property (home/business), with few other exceptions, is a _felony_ charge per round possessed-not just a fine. Polymer-filled rounds like Critical Defense and Duty and non-expanding rounds (e.g., Xtreme Defenders) are _not_ considered HPs under NJ “law.” PTC holders are subject to this HP-carry ban, too. LEOSA-covered individuals are exempt from the HP ban.

Tom Spooner just said’ “ sometimes I carry, but when I’m in a school zone. You gotta know your laws.” This should be a wake up call for every American. Every man women and child would benefit from this man carrying at all times. Even the most decorated warrior is concerned about being “me too’d”

Thank you, gentlemen. Mindset FIRST. Then training, tactics & lastly, hardware. I’m like most guys, tempted to focus first on hardware, but as you say, I’ve already considered the mindset. Looking forward to the entire interview.

Tom has a great personality Shawn. Greatly appreciate you bringing him on the show and his experienced perspective!

This is gonna be fire…saw him in an American gunfighter clip years ago. Cool to see that you have him on the show now 👌🏽

PTSD/paranoia…..love ya brother. Thank you for your service.

From seemingly out of nowhere…. Shawn Ryan changed it all!!!! I was kinda bummed when he stopped the pew pews but man, what he has done after…..? AMAZING!!!! You just never know your calling until after you are doing it. ❤️

Can't wait for the whole episode. I have seen Tom speak on other podcasts and I have tried to listen to them all. I am sure this will be great

This was a good one! I like the premade vs emotional decision argument

One of the deadliest men on the planet displays such amazing humility. Thank you for your service and thank you for introducing us. BTW love my Sig 365 Macro Tacops, my EDC.

2:17 I carry a Spartan! I have three of the SHFs and two of the SHF 3.5s. I also just got a Difensa. I can’t carry all the time but when I do it’s a Glock 19X in an AlienGear holster.

I'm pumped for this one! Thanks SRS!!

Excellent interview. Especially talking about criteria for pulling a weapon/using it 👌👌👌👌

Excellent - watching tonight specifically from a Psych perspective. Thank you. Crap, thank you both.

Yes dude! I think I put in a request on the site at least twice to have Tom on and his brother who served in the unit at the same time. Dude has done a ton for his country and even more I’d argue for combat vets coming home. Can’t wait for this episode. 👍

Great interview Shawn, always appreciate your videos.

Love it when you bring the heavyweight class to your show - eyes will be on it!

I’m definitely watching the entire interview….. know the man well ….. a prince !!!!

Staccato.. must be nice to have money they're only $4 Grand..... I love when Shawn gives his guests a sig 365 like he said that is amazing gift!!!

Love your show here in canada, your guest seems like a good man in more things than just soldiering. Hoping you could bring someone on your show to highlight how messed up things are up here in the north. We need change big change just like our brothers down south do. Heres hoping we can all come together and make something happen. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Can’t wait. Been here since the beginning watch or listened to every episode. really love the story’s

Can’t wait for the full show. Know his story is incredible

This reminds me of blade exchanges from older warrior cultures. It is a blessing to see things like this happen and not to just hear stories after the fact.

such an unassuming man, with mad skills. Wow! Props!

Oh I want one!!!! Canada sucks. We can't buy or sell, trade nothing up here. Ridiculous.... Government needs to stay out of my gun safe. What a joke! I sooooooo want one. I went on the website and checked the specs out. I'm excited to get one one day!!!!❤❤

Thank you

Giving a Sig to a man who is carrying a $4k edc 😂

Righteous guy. Thank you Shawn! ;)

I live in a nice area and have been accosted twice at my local grocery store. Had someone try to rob me in the parking lot but I successfully dissuaded him. Had someone else try to fight me in an aisle. I was able to use some verbal judo to deescalate the situation. He reluctantly apologized and walked away. Best outcome. I'm 60 years old btw. I'm now driving a bit further to an even nicer area to get my groceries.

Can't wait to the full episode!!

Great Show Shawn!

I'm sure he's killed with a pencil before John Wick...

Hypnotizing 😵‍💫 Yes Master.

Everyone who’s handed the pistol box always assumes you are gifting them the pistol lol

Epic gift and advice, stay classy. Cheers🙌🤙

I love listening to them with all of the 'guy speak'. Like Shawn's the one that can get answers like that, b.c they know he knows & ease up w him. But could you start putting word overlays on the screen of what all the acronyms & technical terms are, for us non hunting city girls. Even that 'iron site' had me for a minute, lol. Love these interviews!!

Tom Spooner saved my life when he opened up warriors heart with Josh and Lisa lannon. I am Warriors heart number 33 and I am alive today because of Tom Spooner.

I am anticipating the day when a guest is a true Glock Guy and denies Shawn’s advance to give away “Jason’s” card. Lol

Not sure about all that being able to kill part, if you take it out, must use it. I hear it all the time. However, have any of these guys heard of deterrence? Nukes are good example, no need to use it, just talk about it, and a lot of adversary f-off. Plus here is fbi stat, 82% of fights end up when adversary see a weapon. So just brandishing in a good way, deters most of the fights. Once in use (those 18%), fight lasts 3-10 seconds, is within 10 feet, and 3-5 or 2-5 shots is fired. So he was right about carrying a lot capacity plus mag (no need). Everyone is into 10+1 and up. Meanwhile 7+1 would definitely do. Put in civil defense, underwood, buffalo bore ammo and you good. To me, 357 sig is where its at, i wish there was nice 7+1 out there. shield 40 conversion to 357 is nice, but i would not want to modify pistol, during trial is no good. 357 sig 50gr, goes basically rifle speed (2300fps) from 4 inch. 10mm 65/68 gr goes 2400, but 10mm is not for everybody, meanwhile 357sig is like turbo 9mm.

This is why SRS is the shit. He asked a very important question. “What is the decision making process like for you?” Nobody else asks things like that.

I didnt expect the cs to be his carry. It is so refreshing to hear the older generation carry "cool" edc

Enjoying this channel. Thx

One of the most lethal men on the planet yet as humble as anyone you could meet.

I carry the 365 tacops macro, love that gun. I have always wondered what makes the legion series so much more expensive

Its usually glock or sig for most. The g48 has been the underated one for me. Yes its a tiny bit longer than g43x but its been a great ccw. The 43x feels alot better though.

Of all the legends and unique people from various backgrounds that Shawn has had on, I’m most pumped for this one.

He reminds me of a modern day andy Griffith, "you don't carry a pistol andy?," no I have one near by if I need it."

" LEGEND" nuff said!

I can honestly say.. if your method of target acquisition with a pistol is to look at the target then bring your sights to it, a red dot is superior. I resisted for a few years then transitioned, made my shooting about 25% faster and more accurate (I am a medium skilled shooter so YMMV).

I’m psyched for this interview Shawn definitely knows the guys to talk with

Hey Shawn, loved the direct questions about faith in Jesus Christ in the JP interview, keep pressing on brother!

Thanks Shawn

Can't wait to listen to this episode!

“Just some weirdo with loads of views“ He’s totally talking about Hop 😂

Knife, p365, flashlight, on person. Medkit and M-4 in vehicle

Outstanding EDC pocket dump , one of your best , said the AARP guy

I've enjoyed your content from the beginning I appreciate you and what you do As an American, I'm a bit embarrassed that I knew so very little about USSF, maybe the fact that much of what they do is not common knowledge. Much respect God Bless America

Wow, his calm kind style says allot about him.

If I had to guess, just by looking at him, I would've said he's a college math or history professor.

Glock 19, Trijicon night sights, 13 in the 15 mag , follow up mags are Glock 17 mags, easier to manipulate when/ if your hands are injured or bloody. I've been CCW for 35 years , never had to pull it out, but if it does come out it's sending rounds. Dry fire at the television. The images only stay on screen for a few seconds. And you get good at targeting the available center of mass.

This guy looks like a simple guy working hardware at Home Depot. But, can literally rip up an entire neighborhood of gangsters!

Staccato CS? We got a baller! 😂

I’m saving up for a Staccato P. But I’m just an apprentice. So it’ll be awhile Mr Shawn.

For the record also, Spooner is a straight gangster.

My SIG 365X is great with a Hollison one MOA (I think) red dot although if I’m honest, I still don’t like parallax and iron sites feel faster.

Stacatto for the range but 365xmacro or 43x for EDC.

We need Michael Rutledge for the next episode, the dude is a Navy seal and then joined 160 SOAR and became a pilot, class act dude.

GREAT VIDEO MY FRIEND SHAWN

This is going to be awesome!!!!!

Outstanding guy!

Yup chad robichaux got me into the Smith and Weston equalizer now Shawn Ryan about to get me to buy the Sig 365 legion instead of Springfield echelon 😅 .... @Shawn have your buddy at sig send a couple of 15 round versions to Illinois FFL dealers for state compliance 😅 .... Please and thank you sir.

Honest Outlaw for good gun reviews

I like this guy already 👍

Shawn, he's right about NJ. If you ever find your way into our hellhole state make sure you're running hornady critical defense/duty. There are other options like cor bon or certain winchesters etc etc but if you want to play it safe 99% of people have polymer tipped hornady because state police specifically name that ammo. Just a heads up 🤘😎

Staccato CS w/ trijicon rmr world class combo! You heard it first

Solid dude!

Staccato C2 for every day love mine.

The p365 x macro shoots so well! Id be so stoked to receive a gift like that.

My man presents as zero threat yet is unimaginably dangerous.
