Standing down......

Thanks fellas, I'm sure glad that I read that wrong.

All instructor certificates expired on Dec 31, 2011. All of them.

My certificate clearly states that I'm valid till December 31, 2013. Are you saying that DPS is cutting that short, or am I not understanding something?

I understand that you can qualify with any PISTOL 32 auto or above, technically the TEC-9 is classified by the BATF as a pistol...but I still felt it would be unfair to allow so I did not allow the student to qualify with the TEC-9.

What do you think? Did I do the right thing? And if I didn't ...

You should clear the jam/fix the error and get back into the fight. You must prove proficiency with a handgun. No alibi shots allowed.

Lets get this thing going!! I'll throw in a used Galco "Pistol Packer" for a medium framed revolver. My S&W model 19 snub nose fits in it just fine.

I stand corrected, see below....

It is three seconds for each two shot series....not for the entire string of 10.

Chas.

My Drill Sergeants were not jerks, they just thought we were all hard of hearing!

I prefer smaller classes, and only run two shooters at a time.

less than 30 days

but it can be more if they're swamped with a large military order

Thanks Doc!!

Thanks for the report. I've been wanting to get a Kimber frame done. I know that it varies...but what was the turnaround time when you had your work done?

Don't you think one wife that don't like guns is enough?

That ought to look great when finished. Please post pics when you get it back!

I have a Walther P22 that my younger boys (8 and 6) like, as well as a Kimber conversion that I keep on a Para frame that they like even better. The Kimber prefers CCI mini-mags but my Walther will run the bulk ammo just fine.

For revolvers, I have a S&W M18-2 that is the cat's meow and I just ...

I'll second that!! I really enjoyed the two days of training as well as the folks who attended...both made the drive very worthwhile!

If anyone is on the fence about TraCoun's courses.....don't hesitiate, he is a great instructor!
