Gunsite Academy

[Texasdoc]

well with my B-day coming up the wife and my 2 girls gave me the 350 Pistol class on the 17th thru the 21 of July it was a surprise to me when I got the letter from gunsite today with my class time and date on it .

well has anyone taken this class before and if you have can you tell me how it works.

I have had the 150 and 250 classes in the past and they where fun with lots to learn.

I think i need to find a place to get 1500 rds of 40 for my Glock 23 and this is a good reason to get a new holster and mag pouches . I see on there site they use alot of the blade tech stuff and it might be a good choice.

Hey 300. FWIW I'd go with either Blade Tech or Comp Tac. a couple of double mag holders and LOTS of magazines.

Happy Birthday, Have a good time and we expect a full report....

well I jsut ordered the blade tech and 3 of the 2 mag holders with another 6 mags that make me 12 mags. I have ordered 2500 rds. of blazer Brass ammo ina 180 gr.FMJ and 200 rds of Frag.ammo to boot.

thanks my B-day isn't until the 19th of July and I will be in class so its a good thing .

now to find me a small flashlight, I have a Surefire but its mounted on my M-4 and I really donen't want to remove it .I saw a Flashlight that looked likea Surefire but it was a mix of Zeon(sp) and LED's and was about 50.00 for it does anyone know of this light and if it will stand up to Gunsites class.


I plan on a full report .
