Wow.
Got to give credit where credit is due, NRA clearly listened to the voice of customer and have modified the pistol requirements to reflect that.
Still out of my price range, but I got to give them big thumbs up for actually listening and acting fast!

Re: NRA Doesn't Allow 1911's at New Classes
All kidding aside, the only thing that slightly confuses me (which is pretty easy to do these days), is if they charge $850/student for a class that's supposed to increase your proficiency with your primary carry gun, then why not allow 1911's, revolvers, Glock 26/27/33/43/42...subcompacts etc.?
Aren't those silly things what the majority actually conceal carry?
And how realistic is it for an average Joe to have a 1911 or anything other then a knife as a backup? Most I know barely carry one spare magazine...
Anywho, I don't really care about this as $850 is way out of my price range, and I carry those ugly Glocks and compact Sig's ...

Re: NRA Doesn't Allow 1911's at New Classes
You can use your 1911's as a backup...sentimental purposes and such....
"*NOTE: NRA Carry Guard Level One is designed for training with a semi-automatic handgun (Glock 19/17, Sig P226/P228 or equivalent). We will not allow revolvers or 1911s as your primary firearm in this class.
You should bring a secondary firearm that you carry concealed, as well as a holster for such. We will run the course with a primary carry weapon and then run a course of fire with a secondary or back-up gun to evaluate the differences. Please bring at least 40 rounds of ammo appropriate for your carry firearm for this portion of the class. Revolvers, 1911s and/or subcompacts can be used for this portion of the class."
