Who: Chris "Hans" Frank - 914 Consulting
What: Real World Concealed Carry
When: July 20, 2013 - 0830 - 1700
Where: C2 Shooting Center, Virginia Beach, VA
Weather: Sunny, Temp: 93*F, Humidity: Swampy - 72%, Wind: 13 mph
If I recall correctly, this is the first time Chris has offered this course. We started early going over safety, equipment and carry options, initial assessment drills including strong hand and support hand only, and proper drawing from concealment technique. Most of the morning was spent practicing the draw from concealment with a goal of accurate hits on target and the speed that follows proper execution. Slide-lock reloads from concealment were a specific focal point during the morning.
We broke for lunch, which Joe grilled up as is custom, and had a mini-debrief with some Q&A from the mornings drills and instruction.
For the afternoon, we spent most of the time doing shooting on the move drills (forward, backward, diagonal), and 90* and 180* turn drills. We then shot several drills of various scenarios with shoot vs no-shoot targets. An emphasis was continuously placed on real world application throughout. We capped off the day's instruction shooting the Federal Air Marshal Quals and some more debrief.
The class had about 12 running mostly Glock 19s and 26s. There was also a M&P Shield 9mm, an FNX-9, and a 1911 -- if I left yours off, apologies, I'm going from memory. We each shot approximately 250-300 rounds during the day on average. It was a great day and, naturally, everyone had greatly improved from the beginning of the class.
If you attended the class, feel free to post any of your thoughts or items I may have missed in this high-level summary.
