Does anyone know of any quality pistol classes in or coming to the area? I am located in northern Alabama and could probably travel as far as Birmingham, Nashville, Atlanta, Tupelo or anywhere in between. Somebody told me they thought LAV put on a class in Birmingham a couple years ago. Any idea if that would happen again?

You might try Shootrite Academy. I've heard good things about his classes but haven't taken one myself. He's somewhere around Lake Guntersville.

Thanks for the info, I'll look it up. Have you trained there?

There was a LAV class here in Hoover, I think at Steel City in 2009. I'll try and find the POC again and see if there will be another one offered in the near future.

There is a trainer in Montgomery that is a Suarez qualified instructor google Get Home After (can't remember if we can post links). I am thinking about taking his close range class in September.....

Not sure of your level of experience, but for instruction in the fundamentals I know of none finer than Randy Cain.

Not sure about the geography of the area either, but you can find his schedule here (http://guntactics.com/schedule.htm). If there's nothing in your neck of the woods, you ought to think of trying to host him or someone else. That's the best way to get training in your area when it is lacking.

Hi Sandman

Where is south Florida is this class going to be held? I don't know of many ranges in the area that have facilities to host a good class but I would be willing to sign up and check out the class and if they are really good and not just BS I may even host them further north.

Thanks.

BTW Who are the instructors and where can I read their resumes'? I always like to check out the instructors to avoid the frauds. :)

Thanks again.

Go to www.titantactical.com and you can see the bio for Eric, the founder and lead instructor. I know his mobile training team is an on call staff that he uses depending on the project. They're all squared away. All have extensive LE/Military backgrounds. My department is very picky about who trains our swat team. I'm on the team and we're going back to Eric for a shooting package he designed for us. I know they're looking at POP's outdoor range in Broward County on US 27, but is not final.

Hi Sandman

Thanks.

Who do you work for?

I don't understand why he doesn't list the instructors he might use that are part of his cadre so we can check their resume's. Personally I never take a class from someone that I can't verify.

Yes sir I have, no luck with anything near here.

Not sure of your level of experience, but for instruction in the fundamentals I know of none finer than Randy Cain.

I have taken 4 handgun courses (approximately 45 hours) that covered fundamentals, strong and weak hand shooting, malfunction clearing (strong, weak, and one handed), shooting on the move, fighting from a vehicle and low light. I have also been through some handgun training with a state police agency before I was injured and had to leave their academy. The instructor I took the 4 classes from is not a well known instructor but from what I can tell everything he teaches is in line with what the more well known guys teach. I feel like I received a solid base from his classes but no longer live in the area and would like to expand my training and knowledge. When I moved here I assumed since the south is such a gun rich environment there would be more opportunities for training. It looks as though I may need to travel farther or look into finding a place to host a class. Thanks for the information men.

I just saw that Mr. Cain is within a few hours of where I am. I will look into getting a class with him. For some reason I though he was in Florida.

James Yeager at Tactical Response put on a good class. He's in Camden, TN. Fighting pistol I and II run back to back for a four day class if you've got that much time.

I would like to attend one of his classes but do not have 5 days or $1,200 to spend on class tuition as of now. I will definitely keep him in mind for the future though. Thank you for the suggestion though.

A class from Mr. Yeager may be doable. Thank you sir.
