Cooper's Principles of Personal Defense would be considered foundational 'mindset' material by a lot of folks..

There is a lot of really good training available in Chicagoland. STTG has very experienced instructors and has been providing LE and open enrollment training for longer than most in the area: http://www.teamspartan.com/teamspartan_firearms_training_schedule.htm Frank at Fortress Defense...

Sorry to hear that it didn't work our, OLNS. There are some additional recommendations for revolver-specific training in this thread, though they may require some travel: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=756652&highlight=revolver

You may be fairly close to ITTS: http://www.internationaltactical.com/index.html I've not had the benefit of training with Scott Reitz, but he has an excellent reputation in the training community, and the folks I know who've had classes with him have been extremely satisfied. His cv can be...

I think I was in that class.. Carried simultaneously, in a dual SOB? Around 2005 at BCSD? I'd completely forgotten about that. Thanks for the grin, Jeff.

I had the experience of missing some fairly large targets at close range when running a COF in an Awerbuck class using very tight-patterning buckshot. It was a valuable experience and helped me see the importance of knowing where my particular load patterns at various distances and how that...

Interesting; thanks for the replies. JN01 - please let us know if you're able to find a system that more closely replicates an actual Glock trigger. Thanks.

For a little less than the cost of the reset kit and laserlyte barrel, you could pick up a polymer-slide SIRT pistol and have a dedicated dryfire unit. Lots of SIRT reviews out there; I've got one and like it a lot. http://nextleveltraining.com/product_list

VooDoo, I see you're in Illinois. One of DR's instructors, Paul Sharp, is in Illinois. I've trained a bit with him and he's very good. I should note that Paul is probably not fairly described as a "point shooting" guy, but rather a "sight continuum" guy - - which seems to be true of a lot...

Providing your location may help. Thread with some good recommendations here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=650831&highlight=denny

Huge fan of mytopo.com - gives you a ton of options that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Source The best source for an airline's rules on this sort of thing is their contract of carriage. United's is available here: http://www.united.com/web/format/pdf/Contract_of_Carriage.pdf The popup quoted in the OP started appearing in the last couple months and, on its face, is...

Thanks 9mm. I currently live in the heart of a very metropolitan area :D. We now have access to a range that allows us to practice properly, but in the decade or so that I've been doing this, we've bounced around a lot of ranges and that's not always been the case.

I know at least a couple people who've held off on formal training because they didn't have a venue available to subsequently practice what they'd learned in class. While you can certainly do a lot of what you see in classes dry at home, I understand this line of thinking. I held off on...

I guess my experience is a little different. After having been on the wrong end of a skilled user of a strobing handheld during an indoor force on force class, I promptly purchased one and began working with it. The general consensus of folks in that class was that the strobe offered some...
