Graded evolutions throughout the course provide instant feedback to the student on skill development and overall ability.

If some of you have not heard of Trident Concepts, they are one of the highly regarded training companies in the CONUS. I have trained with them three times now, and never been dissapointed. High standards are asked of the students, but the linear training gets most of us there...

Look forward to some of you coming.

2500 rounds for this class..... Hmmmm.

Having done Jeff's Combative Pistol I class, I'd suggest taking and extra couple of hundred rounds. :D

I see Jeff still runs super high round classes. I picked up a few things when I did his SOM-Pistol and SHO-Pistol courses a few years ago though.

Could someone who has attended a previous class (or otherwise understands), what educational objectives are satisfied by firing 2500 rounds in three days?

two words....muscle memory. Unless, of course, you mean that in an academic sense, in which case, not much.

It's not an instructor school....it's to teach a basic skill and ingrain it in one's performance subconscience...

And, Tricon classes do a good job of "ingraining."

See : Autonomic Response.

Jeff does some very repetetive drills. Good skill building drills, but very repetetive.
