Plan one after a FFX SBUX meet?

Preferably some range around the DC area

DC itself is just one big shooting range. Just wear expensive clothing in the wrong neighborhood.

I might be in for that. Hoping to get my first 9m or 45 by then.

Heck yeah man, what brand are you looking at?

please understand that I'm scheduled for an Intro class on Oct 16, and I haven't shot anything yet; but Beretta, Glock, and Sig are at the top of my list.
Unfortunately, I was looking around last night and discovered that Remington has some pretty good rebates going on right now ($150 gift card) on rifles with scopes. A Remington 700 CDL is pretty high on my list. Might start with the rifle and then apply the gift card against the pistol. Or not.

Cool man, thats awesome. I have the Remington 870, which is the 12 gauge shotgun, Remington usually offers those nice rebates. As far as pistols, Im a Glock fan, I got the 26 (small 9mm) and the 27 (small 40 cal.).

Whatever you decide to do, keep me posted, you're pretty close to me in the DC area, we could hit up the range if you want. I could help you out, show you a couple things.

I just did Day 1 of this three-day Combative Carbine 2 course with Jeff Gonzales of Trident Concepts. Very, very interesting. It is a LOT of shooting, very fast-paced. I learned a LOT and could definitely feel improvement by the end of the 10 hour day.

15 shooters. We started with setting the guns up with a 50 yard battle zero, then moved to a variety of shots and shot strings between 5 yards and 50 yards, including a variety of malfunction drills and transitions to pistol. Everything outside of the 4 inch T-zone of the head or the 8 inch kill zone of the chest is a miss. On the graded evolutions a shot in the white is a DQ. Then he got out the timer. Very competitive, very intense. It was a blast!

Those of you guys with carbines...you have to seriously consider taking a similar high-level training course. I can't begin to describe how immensely valuable it is relative to understanding weapon maintenance, safe handling and developing a skill set that utilizes the AR15/M4 for what it was meant to do. I've been shooting this platform for many, many years. Monthly SWAT exercises, SWAT shooting drills and twice-a-year SO qualifications for more than 15 years, but what I learned today and expect to learn over the next two days will take me way beyond that. This particular course is a graded course, and I'm skeptical that I'm even going to pass (those 50 yard two-to-the-chest-and-one-to-the-head shots are kicking my ***) but the learning experience is fantastic.
