Well, course is successfully over. It was great to meet n5wd as well as so many other great folks from across the state. Turned out that n5wd and i both graduated from the same college, just separated by a few years.

Already have a small handful of customers waiting to get trained. as well as a few more that have shown interest. just have to get my lesson plans together.

Only real complaint is that Winchester owes me 5 points for the defective primer on one of their rounds. That one makes a total of 3 strikes for Winchester White Box 9mm.

Thanks. Guess I will have to call them and ask for a resend as the original email was eaten when the computer crashed.

Getting to be about 10 days out from class start and have not seen any comms from DPS since original acknowledgement that I was registered for the 11-14 march class. Unfortunately no longer have that email as that computer was eaten by a rather nasty virus and is still being rebuilt. When should I expect more info from DPS? Really don't want to bug them, but if i haven't heard by a week out, will email/call.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. As a matter of fact, I was thinking of bringing both a back up semi and revolver. Would not have worried about either except last weekend at my first revolver practice in a while, had a problem with my S&W Model 19 having a light strike on several rounds. Took it home and upon inspection found that the screw for tension on the mainspring had backed out a turn or two. Tightened it up (with a drop of Loc-Tite), but have not had a chance to retest yet.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the information. I won't be needing a hotel as I am only 45 minutes from Georgetown and have to drive by the DPS facility in Florence to get there, but good information.

Any info on the classes and test? Not looking for answers, but format. IE: 50 minute classes with break, 2 hours without break, is test completely closed book/notes or are you allowd to use book/notes like most NRA classes.....Do they allow coffee in class?

Can't wait to get to class.

I also got the invite to the March Class. They offered me the opportunity to do the January Class, but things have gotten too crazy at work to take next week off, everyone else is already out with flu. This at least gives me enough time to rearrange schedules. Folks here were correct in that it takes about 9 months, sent my stuff in the end of June 2013. Luckily I live about 45 minutes from Georgetown and will be able to commute. Really looking forward to the class. Will be taking a couple of NRA classes at KR near Giddings this next weekend (a little longer commute), Home Firearms Safety and Personal Protection In The Home.
