Pictures from a recent Magpul Dynamics Pistol 1 & 2 course

Thanks to FromMyColdDeadHand for helping me with pics over this last series of classes (both running his camera and post processing pics ... it's a lot of work). I greatly appriciate all the time and effort, Brother!

Post processing, editing, cropping, etc. takes a ton of time and is very labor intensive. Adding the watermark to the pic about doubles the time it takes to post process a picture.

The only reason I started doing it is because I have a huge problem with picture theft. I wouldn't even hastle with it if I didn't have problem with people stealing my pics.

You know how to setup photoshop macros, right? You should be able to bulk open, process, and save from the macros.

There is also software that will watermark images for you. Or if you're handy with code you can roll your own sw to do it.

In short, if you're doing something repetitive on a computer, you're doing it wrong [Weight]

H.

Everything I do on a computer is repetative and very time consuming.

I have Photoshop elements 7.



I'm not a computer guy. Electronics give me a headache. If you've got advise, I'm all ears ... just don't use big words ... I'm one of those guys that will fit the square block in the round hole ;)

No worries Brother. I was just explaining how much time and effort goes into post processing pics. Many guys don't understand how labor intensive post processing pics are.

Jeff,

If you download and use the image software Google gives away for use with a Picasa photo account, you can add watermarks without much trouble.

Here's a video explaining "Actions" aka macros. The short version is, you load up a sample picture, hit the Record button, then resize, auto adjust levels, add a watermark, and save the image using the desired settings (leave the filename blank, save it in a new directory) and then hit stop recording on the action. You can assign a hot key to actions, so I always assign F2 to whatever temporary task I'm doing. Once that's done, load another image, hit F2, make sure it does what you want. If it does, then you can load large batches of the images and just process each with a single keystroke.

Or google for Batch Image Processing software like the Picassa stuff that was also mentioned.

And remember, anytime you're doing something repetitive on a computer, there's a way to automate the boring bits.

Thanks for the follow up info gents. Greatly appriciate it. I spend entirely too much time on the computer doing repetative work.

How'd his XD run? Couple folks here who think an XD couldn't possibly make it through a real course. [Roll1]

I don't know, I was on the other side of the line.

Generally I see a fair number of problems with XD's at work and in training classes (and for the internet guys who are absolute about every word I write ... I didn't say a "high number", I said a "fair number").

XD's either seem to run or they don't. Per capita I see many more problems with XD's than with Glocks or M&P's.



From my experience if an XD is going to start having problem it usually shows its self between 700 and 2,000 rounds



Just my personal experiences.

Me running through a run and gun drill. I had received my Glock 19 back from Ben at www.boresightsolutions.com just a couple days prior to this class. I had the basic reduction package done on my pistol which included under cutting the back strap and under the trigger guard. In most classes I get a blister on the side of my middle finger joint from the bottom side of the trigger guard. After Ben's work, that's no longer a problem. I can't say enough about the work Ben did on my Glock 19, the pistol fits my hand like a fitted glove. I plan on sending him several other pistols as funds allow:

Thanks for sharing.........
Please explain to me what
1. your shooting at?
2. the yardage?

Sorry but i couldnt find that information here.

Steve

They are shooting at targets like the ones you can see, and the yardage changes. The class is "The art of the dynamic handgun" so it's all based on movement. Walking and shooting, turning and shooting, movement in general...

Is this place open to the public where one can come and watch?

Thanks
