My wife and I took the EDC course. We both had a blast and learned a lot. She must have been really impressed with Derek. She says Derek said this, Derek said that, that's not the way Derek said to do it. I was watching a you tube gun video and the guy had a ball cap , sunglasses, and a red beard. He was only talking for a few minutes and she asked is that Derek ? I said No he hasn't said **** yet.

Alright man, hope we see ya at the range.

Hoping to sign up for this as soon as I get my work schedule cleared. Question for the missus, though - would a 9mm M&P Shield be appropriate for this course? That's her gun of choice but I was concerned that the 8rd capacity may be limiting.

We have a had a few shields show up, so that is not a limitation. We do require at least two mags regardless, so capacity isn't an issue typically.

Yes, click on the Calendar tab and click on the paypal button next to the Pistol lvl 1 course.

Done. Thanks.

Roger that, we look forward to seeing you all at the range.

It looks like I was able to get off of work for this. I also have a friend who wants to join. Do you have room for two more?

Edit: pm'd with some more questions.

Yes sir and pm replied.

Mag carrier capacity requirement? 2 mags on belt? 3?

(I've got a two-mag carrier, trying to determine if I need to pick up more)

I'm not with RWI, but I know from experience with them that 2 on belt is plenty for level 1.

1 week away, 2 slots remaining
