This is the handgun course I am thinking about taking: Proactive Shooters

Not too far from me and it looks like it'd be fun for a first-time live-fire class.

Bwahaha I talked my fiancée into taking the defensive handgun class with me so now I have an excuse to buy a OWB holster specifically for the G19. :happydance:

Took about $6.00 worth of kydex, some Raven belt loops, and about 45 minutes.

You want to make another one? ;)

Nah, it's cool. Wouldn't want to ask a favor that could open up potential liability. That's good stuff, though. :tup:

Found M193 XTAC for $320-ish 1K, but don't like the place selling. It seems to be around $350 elsewhere. Carbine 1.5 Viking Tactics this November, I need to buy some. Already bougth 15 Lancer L5 AWM mags, need a few more things.

I've never taken a course from Kyle Lamb, but he has a great reputation. Last course I took was last October - Trident Concepts. That was a 2500-round course. I was glad to have 18 Pmags on hand with a StripLula and all rounds loaded into stripper clips.

Your next challenge will be selecting load bearing equipment.

I got a real nice deal on a Springfield 1911 Range Officer today at the Nation's Gun Show. I took it to the range and put about 200 rounds through it. This thing is a tack driver! I love it.

Also worth noting... my G19 really has a tendency to throw brass right back at my forehead when shooting. It does it more than my G17 and G26 (which rarely does it at all). All are Gen 4s, so this is a known issue.

At the range it's not a huge deal because I always have eye protection and sometimes have a cap on, but in the real world I could see it being a problem. A shell to the eye in the middle of a fight would not be a good thing. I need to look into fixes more closely.

I shot my Glock 19 (Gen 3) last week. Note the ejection pattern in the video. The only two of the 6 shots where the ejection was the same was the two that hit me in the head.

Apex Tactical has a machined extractor that should be out in the next 4-6 weeks. The prototypes are very promising. Should be about $60 according to Randy Lee.

I'll have to keep an eye on those when they come out.

ok guys for a first gun iv shot both and love both the tarus judge colt or Springfield xdm?

Two totally different guns. What do you want to do with it?

XDM would be my preference, I've owned and fired both...Also I'm a firearms instructor...

I just don't know what you'd do with the Judge. I think maybe if I had a lot of land and needed something to clear out snakes with I'd carry a Judge with .410 shot shells, but that's about it.

I just picked up a Ruger LCP last week for CC. I'm taking it to the range for the first time in a couple of hours. Should be interesting. So far I have a Pierce mag extension, hogue grip, and a crimson trace laser for it.

Let us know how it goes.
