Have any loaner 1911s?I'm probably going to be buying one and if like to train with one.Also,any restrictions such as age or physical fitness?My spare tire can sometimes get in the way.

 

[the only Qualk]

could you perhaps pm me as to what you refer to with marksmanship fundamentals? I have not had any training and i am looking to finally take some this year barring any surprises.
I am simply unsure as to if this would be a good first course or defensive pistol.
thank you

This is a good question for any and all. By marksmanship fundamentals I am referring to stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control and follow through. And most importantly, how all these relate to YOUR physiology and eyesight.

This class will be a god one for you regardless of the direction your future training takes.

I was wondering the same thing.I've carried for a few years now but training just wasn't in the budget.I've picked up a few things via YouTube and reading here and other sites but never had any way to be sure I was practicing the theories correctly.

While I think that there is lots of good stuff on youtube (and bad, too ), time spent with a teacher will help you find the answer to this question. Plus, the better teachers will help you through alternative theories and methods and get through the chaff. The most fashionable technique is trash if it does not work for YOU.
In addition, I think that the better programs are modular and "building block" adding manageable blocks of information as you go along. All of ACT's programs are an attempt to do just that.

Still some room for this one.

 

[obijohn]

There are still a few spots open in this class. Email me for registration materials.

 

[obijohn]

still have room for a couple more, but then will be taking a waiting list for BP051. There will be other basic pistol offerings, but this is the only one that ACT will be doing this year.
