Very informative class. I learned alot about the distinction of crimes, situations, etc. I guess, the biggest clarification was where I could carry, how to react after a shooting. The shoot part was pretty easy: Took us longer to drive out to the desert to shoot, than it did to qualify. I went through 50 rounds pretty darn quickly. Granted, I never shoot my weapons dry (total of 22 rounds in the magazines) I had a full load of three mags left full of ammo.
He is offering another "Advanced" class in a month or so, and I am thinking about going for that one as well.

Welcome to the AZ CCW club.

good for you, ccrry wisley

Congrats to you.

Input - I've taken every class our club offers and the least I got out of one course was some 1:1 time with two Marine instructors talking techniques and stories. That alone was worth the class. To me it's worth spending as much time as I can with folks who know more about handling / shooting, like LE and our military brothers and sisters.

Yes, the 1911. I have a Fobus paddle and twin mag paddle for it, and used it; I just have to get used to wearing them. Tommorrow, I send off the application packet and money, and by next monday I should have my card in the mail.

Good stuff bud! You should check out the CQC Serpa holster that Taurus and I both have. I love that damn thing. It's a paddle or belt mount holster, but will conceal nicely with a large shirt or jacket. With a T-shirt it prints too badly, so it wouldn't work that well.

Sweet

Kudos on getting your CCW. 8) Have you decided on your main CCW piece? It's all good.

Hi, had another thought….. when I got my CCW, I sat on it for about a week. What? Me, carry a gun? Then I suited up my first time and then decided to carry unloaded for a bit cause I was nervous. I was also worried about printing - I was sure everyone saw me and the gun. After a bit, I carried loaded, but none in the chamber. After a bit more, I carry hot. And now, I carry pretty much relaxed. The biggest difference I see now, I’m more alert whether I’m loaded or not. It’s a great reminder to stay alert and ready no matter what.

So the point was for me……. The piece of paper was/is just that. It allowed my process to start and for me at least, it took about 2 months before I could say I was comfortable.

Best of luck and stay safe!

And that alone will keep you safer than the vast majority of people.
