It's a specialty class. Probably offered once per year. Bill Rogers himself will be teaching the course.

Re: Claude Werner Snub revolver class review

Thanks for the positive review. I am glad the class was useful.

It feels as though there is only enough space/room to put one hand on it, while the other one is just along "for the ride". Or I could be just doing it wrong (it would not be the first time for this).
Hard to say without watching you shoot but if your snub has the small factory grips and you have big hands, you may not be able to get much of the support hand on the gun itself.

Speaking for myself, I shudder at the thought of taking "hostage"-type, aim-small-miss-small shots with a short-barreled, coarsely-sighted weapon, though perhaps with additional practice I would be more confident in my skills at certain ranges.
I am not a big fan of the XS sights in general. However, my 640-1 has a Standard Dot XS sight on it and it is a noticeable improvement over the pathetic Baughman ramp that comes on most of these guns.

Personal Defense Network http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/articles/browse/ will shortly be publishing an article I wrote on improving J-frame sights shortly. Plenty of pictures to explain how to make them better.
