Well the e mail WAS for a "pistol" course....Although my interest in the "Warrior Expert Theory" portion is indeed piqued.
Another popular offering is brown or white gravy on mashed tatersI
If we taught an advanced course, it should include:
* Tactical hearing aids
* Ammunition selection for dummies
* Your cane as an impact weapon
If the course required any running, we’d need paramedics on standby.
Got a email from my gun club for a pistol course. What do you think about the underlined statement below.
Class topics:
* On-range training in crucial handgun skills * Warrior expert theory
* Counter ambush training * Balance of speed and precision
* Stance and movement; * Grip and trigger control
* Presentation from ready and holster * Shooting from retention and reloading
* Diagnosing your misses * Defensive shooting drills
* This class is for semi-automatic pistols, NOT revolvers--
** 9mm ammunition cn be mde available if you need for this course**
I don't see a problem with this. From what I believe, there is pretty much only one way to reload a semi-auto pistol and the method is nearly identical for every one out there. As for revolvers, however, there are speed-loaders, speed-strips and single-round feeding by hand and the instructors don't want to be taking up too much time having to individualize each student's instruction depending on what equipment they decide to bring with them.
I'm surprised so many of you seem puzzled by the wording of the OP's posted class content.
It is straight out of United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) Defensive Shooting Fundamentals Level 2 training.
Possibly true, but who knows!
A couple years back I commented about a young RO that said if he could run things he would not allow revolvers there. I tried talking with him but gave up. When I left i did tell him I was a RO/NRA instructor long before he was a twinkle in his fathers eyes.![]()
That seems like a lot of content to cover in what is probably 7 hours of class time, allowing for lunch and breaks. Some of it also sounds, to me anyway, a little to “tacti-cool”.
As far as no revolvers, I’m not offended. Every time I show up to qualify with my revolver I get the distinct impression the range officers wish I’d retire my revolver, or just plain retire. Trying to teach basic skills to a mixed group of pistols and revolvers would be a challenge, especially in a limited amount of time.
I love watching retired officers who qualify with revolvers at the HR218 class. They are always extremely accurate shooters. Unfortunately as the years have gone by there are are fewer revolver shooters.
Just about every time I qualify at least one guy comes up and tells me he had never seen someone use a speed loader before. They are usually surprised that a revolver can be reloaded quickly. Some of these guys have been on the job 10-15 years and never saw a revolver in action.
