    Dynamic Handgun 1
    • August 24 - 26, 2012 (3 Day – Friday to Sunday)
    • Pueblo, CO

    Cost
    • $650 – 3 day course ($25 discount for previous Magpul Dynamics students, please indicate the previous course you have taken on your application)
    • $60 – range fee due on the first day of the course
    • Lunch will be available for an additional fee
    • Students provide their own ammo (2,000 rounds – ammo can be purchased or shipped through the range, more details once you have registered)
    • Class size limited to 20 students

    Description
    This course is entry-level and is designed to give the beginner or novice shooter the proper handgun fundamentals. Starting with combat mindset, the class covers:

    • Proper gear selection and placement
    • Shooting stance
    • The draw
    • Proper grip
    • Axis and mechanics of recoil
    • Grip, sight alignment, sight picture
    • Trigger control
    • Speed reloads
    • Tactical reloads
    • The four (4) primary malfunctions
    • Strong and weak hand shooting
    • Shooting on the move
    • Situation specific shooting positions

    Hardware/Kit
    A functional and practical handgun chambered in 9mm, .40 cal, or .45 ACP. If available, a spare weapon system is also an excellent idea. A cleaning kit and tools that are compatible with the weapon system(s) in question is also a must. Each student should have a minimum of 5 working magazines. Sometimes magazines will make it in your dump bag and sometimes they won't. If they hit the ground they can become fouled, causing weapon malfunctions and time off the line.

    • Students provide their own ammo (2,000 rounds)
    • Note pad, and pen/pencil
    • Clothing suited to strenuous type activity as well as being seasonally appropriate
    • Appropriate foot wear
    • Rain gear / cold weather gear (seasonal)
    • Ear pro (electronic preferred)
    • Eye pro, which wraps around
    • Clear lenses for night shoots
    • Baseball style hat recommended
    • A holster and magazine pouch that will retain equipment when moving
    • Secondary weapon mounted or handheld light
    • Spare bulbs and batteries
    • Tools that work on your weapon
    • Weapons lube
    • Water hydrating device
    • Knee and elbow pads (optional)
    • Gloves (optional)
    • Insect Repellent (optional)

    Don't have the money for that, plus the cost of 2k rounds. Sounds like a lot of fun and would learn a lot by running and gunning. Maybe one day I will be able to do something like this. If anyone has some land and has prior training and would like to teach a few guys let me know, sorry off topic at the end.

    Is it odd to feel strange about taking a class from an instructor that was in the same class as you the first time they took that class?
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    I wouldn't feel strange about it. A lot of places, across industries, make instructors take the class they are supposed to teach when that person is new to the organization.

    Same sentiment, one day it'd be nice to be able to afford this stuff. Sounds like some fun. There is always more to learn.
