      Defensive Pistol Series - Oct 3, Nov 7 & Dec 5

      As I just said in an edit to my last post that wasn't there when you replied, since Kirby provided his phone number in the signature line, you could always call him to get more detail directly from the instructor himself. However I will suggest to him that in the future he give more detail in...

      Defensive Pistol Series - Oct 3, Nov 7 & Dec 5

      If you will read my review in post #16 above, I believe it gives a fairly comprehensive description of the contents of the course offering. And since Kirby has provided his phone number in the signature line, you could always call him to get more detail directly from the instructor himself...

      Defensive Pistol Series - Oct 3, Nov 7 & Dec 5

      Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I don't use a phone to read this or any other forums.

      Defensive Pistol Series - Oct 3, Nov 7 & Dec 5

      Kirby Bowling. You will find his name, company name, web site url and phone number at the bottom of his original post and each of his other posts above. How is that like pulling teeth??

      Defensive Pistol Series - Oct 3, Nov 7 & Dec 5

      Like gab above, I also attended Kirby's first Defensive Pistol course that began in June. The three-class series, one full 8 hour day each month for 3 months, was very comprehensive. I too appreciated the personalized instruction made possible by a small class size and a highly experienced...

      Just got your Wear & Carry? So what's next?

      Good summary, Bigfoot. I certainly didn't intend to imply that Kirby (not Kevin, BTW) would be teaching any secret Ninja techniques. It should be obvious that my post was not directed at guys/gals like yourself or Blaster with many years of handgun experience who have posted 30,000 or 40,000...

      Just got your Wear & Carry? So what's next?

      For the record, I don't consider my post equivalent to advertising a class. I was basically encouraging new Wear & Carry permit holders who, like myself, are also relatively new to handguns to consider taking some additional training to better prepare themselves in the event that they were...

      Just got your Wear & Carry? So what's next?

      Two points: 1. It says "NRA Basic Pistol class", not Basic "Defensive" Pistol class. There is a difference. There are two NRA Defensive classes - Outside the Home and Inside the Home - that are more advanced. I've taken all three - the latter two with Kirby. The Basic Pistol class is very...

      Just got your Wear & Carry? So what's next?

      OK, so, like me, you recently took a class - maybe a good one, maybe like the one I took, not so good. But you did get your MD Wear & Carry permit. So now you're certified ready to carry, to defend yourself and others from the bad guys, right? Not! Now you need some actual defensive handgun...

      Signed up for Karl Rehn Course in Culpeper

      I just got a text that Karl Rehn has cancelled the June 11 Advanced Shooting class in Culpeper. Bummer. I was really looking forward to it. Don't know if he has also cancelled the other classes scheduled for the same weekend.

      NRA Pistol Class / HQL Class March 21

      I will pass that on to Kirby and recommend he do that. He doesn't frequent the mdshooters Forums (nor any others as far as I know), and didn't ask me to post this. If it violates Forum rules, my apologies, but it is on me, not Kirby. BTW, he is a true patriot, which should be obvious from the...

      NRA Pistol Class / HQL Class March 21

      For those new to handguns or who want to attend a much better than average HQL class. My friend and firearms instructor/mentor Kirby Bowling (GAPP Strategies - www.gappstrategies.com) is teaching an NRA Basic Pistol class that also satisfies the HQL class requirement. The class is 8 hours and...

      M&p metal and holsters

      I have two kydex holsters, one from Blade-Tech for just the gun, the other from Just Holster It for the gun with a Crimson Trace CMR-206 laser mounted on the Pic rail under the barrel. They both were originally for the full size M&P 9 with polymer frame. Both work fine with my Metal. They both...

      Signed up for Karl Rehn Course in Culpeper

      Sounds like fun, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Maybe next year if they do it again. Oh, and I have neither any of the protective gear nor a suitable training weapon that would be needed for the FOF class.

      Signed up for Karl Rehn Course in Culpeper

      Well, I took the plunge and registered with KR Training for Karl's upcoming Advanced Handgun class on June 11 at the FPF Training Range in Culpeper. I didn't know if I'd be accepted since I'm a relative novice; Karl recommends the class mainly for "shooters at the USPSA B-C class level, or IDPA...
