Re: Who offers revolver training?

Here's the course outline for the Snubby class I'm working on. PM me if you are interested. I think we only need about 7 students to make a go of it.
Snub Nose Revolver Skills Development Course
This is a one-day skill building class for 5 shot snub revolvers. It emphasizes marksmanship development, gunhandling, and carry techniques.

Learning objectives for the class:

Make hits with the snub, not just noise,

reload the revolver efficiently and with confidence,

carry the revolver in a low profile way and practice deploying it,

shoot a state recognized Concealed Carry qualification course, and

learn appropriate practice techniques and drills to keep your skills up after the class is over.

Attendees will receive a training certificate sufficient for obtaining a Florida Non-Resident Concealed Weapon or Firearm License.

Equipment requirements: Eye and ear protection, revolver with belt holster, at least one speedloader. Optional but encouraged: Given the usual environments we carry snubs in, wear old business casual type clothing that you don't mind getting dirty/torn. Such personal comfort items as you feel you will need, e.g., hat, sunscreen, etc. I will provide water at the range.

Ammo requirements: 150 rounds of practice ammo; Wal-Mart White Box is fine, not +p defense ammunition. In addition, bring 10 rounds of the ammunition you keep for self defense purposes.

I shoot semis, but I almost always carry a 5-shot snub, so I'd rather spend an hour of a one or two day class on faster speedloader and speedstrip techniques than on clearing stovepipes or double-feeds that don't happen with my carry gun.

Is there somebody here (preferably within a couple hours' drive of Stephenville, so mostly D/FW or Abilene) that offers such a class, or am I going to have to save up my nickels until I can afford a few hours of Jerry Miculek's time? Somebody planning to run a class at TacPro would be ideal, but one of my coworkers watches their calendar and hasn't seen anything along those lines coming up.
Sorry for the slow reply. IMHO a snubby specific class is very benificial if that's what you normally carry. There are a couple of fellas that offer training classes specifically tailored for folks who carry a snubby. I posted about this a couple of years ago, to see if there was enough interest in hosing a class in Texas. Ed Lovett, Claude Werner, and Michael deBethencourt are the people I know of.

Mr. Lovette has only had classes in Memphis,TN that I know of.
Michael deBethencourt was scheduled for a class @ KR training last year.
Claude Werner is the fellow I was interested in hosting here. His website is: http://www.firearms-safety.info/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He has a one day basic snubby class followed by a one day advanced snubby class. He even has a few DVD's available for snubby practice. I'd be willing to pursue that again if there was enough interest.
