Could be. I don't think marty was trying to be a smartA. More trigger time is always good. For all of us.

Congrats man. Don't know what you carry or how but it is something you have to dedicate yourself to. It isn't always fun or comfortable. Glad for you and I hope you carry it always and have to use it none.

Ditto!!! And you can never have too much training and trigger time.

Thanks. I've been wanting to get it for a while and finally quit just talking about it and did it. I've been hunting and shooting since I was very young so I'm by no means a novice shooter. But I would love to take a few courses every year. There's always room for improvement and one should never stop learning how to be responsible with a weapon.

Thanks. I already have a sig p238 (.380) and I love the gun but it is a little small for me. I just bought a glock 43 (9mm) yesterday and plan on carrying that. I've been looking at a few different holsters but still haven't bought one just yet. Kinda thinking about getting an ankle holster for now.

It's slow It is almost impossible to draw your weapon but not draw attention. It's not defendable. Bend down and get kicked in the face. Carry strong side. Stick your arm out, turn your body and keep your gun as far away from him as you can. Practice draw and shoot from the hip drills. Push off and fire. Keep backing away and bringing your gun to eye level. Firing the whole time. |

I think its a good idea to have a couple of carry guns and use them according to what you are wearing. I carry a Springfield xds single stack 45, which is pretty slim but its sometimes a little heavy for light summer clothes. I plan on getting a .380 for when I don't feel like carrying that 45. The xds is very slim but its still somewhat heavy. An ankle holser may seem like a good idea but its not. Its hard to reach for in a hurry as you may not get to in time when you need it. You want instant access to your weapon.

Yeah, very good points guys. I truly appreciate the info. I'm going to just pick an in the waist band holster and go with it. I've been looking at a few different ones that were recommended in the other thread I started a little while back. I can pocket carry the sig p238 but the glock 43 is a little bigger so I know I'll need a holster for that one for sure.

I have been a hunter since I was 8, been a "shooter" since I was 23. Have had some training that most would find grueling. I go to the gun range once a month now, as well take a course (of random scenarios) once a year. You can never be to effective or safe when dealing with taking a life, or inadvertently others around.
Stay on top of your game, for indeed the power and responsibility you are assuming, is NOT a game. Your life will change, in the event.............. in fact it already has begun with you getting your CCP. Enjoy and stay safe my friend |

Good conceal carry insurance is a must. It will cost you tens, if not hundreds of thousands to defend even a good shooting. I use this, there are many.

I'm a big fan of the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program. It's self-paced and self-administered. I've used the program to work with a number of shooters. It provides organization and structure that will gradually improve your shooting skills as you work through it. Most people who can follow the instructions will find they have developed into very good shooters by the time they have worked through the Pistol, Defensive Pistol I, and Defensive Pistol II programs through the expert levels in each. I've served as an NRA pistol instructor, and I've also spent many thousands of dollars in formal training. If you can follow the instructions in the NRA Marksmanship Qualification programs, your money is better spent on ammo for training than on expensive instructors. |

Crosman Pumpmaster Classic Air Pistol
We picked up this beauty last summer, and with the cost of ammo and gas, it's been great for the home schoolers (and the teachers) to be able to practice any time for $0.01 or so per shot. The target shows the accuracy I can get with 47 year old eyes at 10 meters (33 feet). This pistol is available at WalMart for under $60. There are a lot of air pistols on the market, but this one has a level of quality and accuracy that I appreciate. Being a single shot pump, it also helps students focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship without resorting to "spray and pray." This is the .177 model. They make a .22 model also, but the pellets are a bit more expensive. |

We also have a cheap Walmart CO2 powered semi-auto bb repeater for low cost practice at home. While air powered pistols only allow practice of sight picture and trigger squeeze (not recoil managament) the low cost and every day availability are a big bonus, especially when 22LR is in short supply and centerfire pistol ammo is expensive. This also allows making shooting a big part of the home school PE curriculum. Get your kids out from in front of their electronic devices and get them shooting at home!
Given cost of gas, scheduling constraints, and ammo availability, we only average trips to the range once a month or so. But these youths are building serious skills by shooting several times a week. |
