What instructor/school would you choose?

Note carefully that I am not the one who played the Jessie Abbate card first, please.

It is only fitting that senior Glock made that post first... but it's nice to see you carrying that sweet OD G19 these days

Henk scares me too much. Not as much as Caren, but he scares me too much.

...and she seems soooooo nice. It makes it so much worse.

I'm kinda old, dumb, stubborn and slow. I'd take whatever wad of cash I could get and throw it in the bank. Then dole it out, with regularity, to the local trainers and those who choose to come here.

I might be way off base, but IMHO regular training trumps a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I'm kinda in this boat. Sure, going to Thunder Ranch for a week would be way cool, but so would taking every class offered around here for a while.

Individuals who graduate from IUPUI School of Medicine are doctors just as much as those who graduate from Harvard School of Medicine.

And 50% of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class.

I've been to Thunder Ranch, 4 or 5 Lou Awerbuck classes and a couple Pat Rogers courses. All were money well spent.

Now, I'd like to go to some competition courses. I've been carrying a gun almost daily for 30 years and never been in a gunfight.
I go to matches every weekend during the season.....

I'd have to take a week long 1 on 1 competition handgun class with Emanuel Bragg. If I wanted to get some rifle & shotgun mixed in I'd have Ted Puente school me while I was at it.

Not sure I could handle shooting 5000 rounds in a week but I'm up for the challenge 3800 rounds in 2 weeks was enough for me last time I did something nutty like that

Jim Higginbotham:

Rangemaster Course Descriptions

I talk to him on a semi-regular basis and find him to be down-to-earth and a very nice guy all around.

Someone else I talk to is a friend and student of Mas Ayoob, and I guess Mas is wanting to meet me. I'm afraid I've been talked up by the gent I know to a little more than who I really am. I think. I'm just another guy who analyzes things and has been in a couple altercations where loud noises were exchanged. Not an expert at anything.

Jim H though... I didn't even know he was famous until I asked him about an article he wrote for a magazine. I just got to talking to him one day on a board and found him to be a very nice, good guy who knows his stuff.
