If you look at the current cost of Copper and Lead, the prices are back to 2006 and earlier levels. But the cost of loaded ammo, and bullets for reloading are STILL 50-100% higher than they were in 06 and earlier.

Well...the course is free, but...ammo, lodging, car rental, airfare, etc. I believe they promote the certificates to encourage the initial membership purchace by stating that "with the membership you can bring your family along to get training" .
I would just be expecting a big sales pitch...
One of my co-workers/boss has a membership to Front Site and is there right now in fact. He offered me a certificate to attend the 2 or 4 day course for free, but I am a bit leary of the hard sales pitch they give. There is no way Im getting any membership there, but I would like the...
I too worked with Eric from time to time on the line at Eagle Creek as well as in our NRA classes. Im so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed.
I saw this advertised too. I dont have MSNBC though, but it looks to me like a "nice way" for NBC to start the process of pushing the public mindet for another AWB.
G27. I have always felt the shorter grip makes concealment so much easier. You've seen pics of my "chopped" G23, remember? G23 slide, but the grip chopped down to the length of a G27.
When we have the classes greatly depends on interest and also avaliability of the classroom and range at Eagle Creek. Those interested can contact Eagle Creek range through the email address on the website.
The classes are organized by sjstill and he will usually try to plan a class when he...
Im really glad you enjoyed the class and felt that you got out of the class what you wanted.
I do have to admit, we were not expecting so many students. The biggest class we have ever had before was 5, so 15 was a real shock.
I do wish we could have had more range time for some of the who...
Im the lead instructor for the class Saturday at Eagle Creek. I think Steve (our Cheif RO) has the fee set at $50 per person and right now the class may be getting full. Im not certian. I used to work every weekend as an RO, but just fill in to teach the classes when we have them. If your...
I was there and saw mpholic's Pointman break...! I'd never seen anything like it.
My CBOB did give me a lot of ejection issues at first that required me sending it back to DW. They gave me a hard time about installing an ambi safety saying it "voided my warranty" and they fixed it out of...
I duracoated my kimber a couple years ago. The above advice is all good.
I would add to be careful not to put too thick of a coat on any moving metal to metal surface areas that are already a tight fit. I put a bit too thick of a coat on the rails on the frame of the Kimber and the slide...
Steve pretty much handles the "marketing" for the class. I dont think he's posted about it on the T&T forum...I could be wrong. I worked to try to help spread the word last year while I was still one of the regular ROs at the range.
Im just helping out now doing the classes when he gets...
...also, for any planning to attend. You will need to contact Steve so he can order any class materials needed.

Actually, the class we put on at Eagle Creek is $75 per student. The class will run at least 5 hours for those who already have a bit of experience but they usually run 6 or 7 hours with 1-2 of them being range time.
I'll be the lead instructor for the class on Sept 13th so if you have any...
Im glad to see there is some more interest in the class. More than once we set up for class and at the last minute those who said they would come just flat out didnt show up. One guy said he'd be there two seperate times and didnt show up or even call either time.
Putting on the class is a...
The CBOB sjstill mentioned was mine. First off the trigger was VERY heavy (I measured it at ~6.5lbs) compared to reviews I read on that gun at 3.5-5lbs. Fixed with some polishing and sear spring tweaking. But I was also having failure to eject issues from the start with the gun. It appeared...
