Thoughts:
Excellent group of shooters yesterday. They were all repeat students, the vast majority of them having trained with multiple schools and quite a diverse group of backgrounds and employment. We got through a lot of material and the class flowed very well.
Guns on the line were Glocks, M&P's, HK, and two 1911's. All ran great. The 1911's were both owned by experienced shooters who have a lot of time on them and a lot of rounds down range. A Les Baer with all sorts of finish wear and a holster that looks like a 30 year old baseball glove warms my heart. The other was a S&W that has been through many classes and competitions.
One of the instructors owns an XD9SC that he brought out for some demonstrations. More on that later.

Damn XD's always having malfunctions...
This is why XD's, 1911's, and exposed hammer guns suck for contact shooting:
