Combative Weapons Solutions, Austin TX??

Hey all. First real post around here.
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this outfit? I am looking to take my first entry level carbine course and these guys are in my area. I have searched extensively on this site but have found no mention of them.
Thanks for any info!

Have no clue about them. I can recommend Jeff Gonzales of http://www.tridentconcepts.com/. He is top notch, former Navy SEAL and Gunsite instructor and in Austin. Also Paul Howe and Jim Smith of Spartan Tactical are in TX (more towards DFW) IIRC.

Heard great things about these guys but have yet to find the time to do a class.

Please excuse my acronym idiocy but please elaborate. There ought to be an acronym sticky around here. Not a stranger to the world but just a different line of work (wildfire.)
Thanks,

I think Smash means Personal Defense Network. Craig Douglas of Shivworks will be in your area in March for an ECQC course. I highly recommend that instead.

I as well, Craig is one hell of a instructor.

Get in ECQC. It'll radically change your perception of training.

Mr Douglas of Shivworks (do web searches on Southnarc) is an excellent instructor, and is highly recommended by many people.

His MUC (Managing Unknown Contacts) class is a terrific class for anyone to take.
