This was a great course, and I enjoyed meeting and shooting with all of you. I especially enjoyed sharing a room at the Royalty with "Grouper" Derek and his purty mouth.
I can't add much to the two great AARs, but I'll say that I was impressed with how Kyle paid close attention to what everyone was doing, which allowed him to give a lot of one-on-one instruction to each of us. I haven't trained with many instructors who gave me that much individual feedback and tweaking.
I thought Ricardo was Cuban.
Great class group photo. It's nice to see one without kit, scowls, and kufiyyat.
That picture has to have been just about 5 minutes before everyone left the range. You can see the South Florida boys already have their damn flip flops on!
Derek, curious to hear how your "battle belt" experiment is going. Looks like you just ran everything attached to your pants belt? Something like a Wilderness or other "instructor" belt?
Working well so far, I was going to wait until after this weekend's night fighter course in St Augustine to give a decent review.
Its a Jones Tactical Inner belt w/cobra buckle, eagle pad, and some custom dropped kydex mag pouches with rattle can on them. I finally found this holster, Ive LITERALLY been looking for this for the last 2 years. GCODE SOC rig that actually fits a 1911 dawson railed w/x300 on it. The holster, while technically a leg rig, attaches to the belt high enough that its no more dropped than a safariland UBL or bladetech DOH type system.
