TGO only Fighting Pistol course in Camden TN (May 26-27)

[James Yeager]

How about we do a Fighting Pistol course only for TGO members? We will never pick one date that suits everyone but we can accomodate most.

For folks (and their spouses) that were signed up on this forum before 2/22/07 we can do a discounted price IF we get at least 10 folks to participate.

[James Yeager]

May 26/27 is open for me.

[Guest Len]

May 26-27 works for me as well. I will PM the TGO members who were interested in the April 14-15 class.

I have a question...I live about 2 hours away from Camden and Im sure some others here are just as far away, what do most people do that attend the 2 day class? Do they just travel back and forth both days or do some stay in a hotel for the night? Just wondering because I am not a morning person, honestly I hate the morning, and if there was a hotel close by I would much rather stay the night.

[Donnie]

That sounds very interesting. I'll do some checking about my schedule, well and approval from the family financial and planning administrator (the wife)

Rooster:

Tactical Response provides lodging as part of the class. You get to stay in the "team room" in Yeager's basement. Its a very nice setup, with 2 seperate bunk rooms, sofas, tv, PC access. Supposedly dinner is included Sat night courtesy of the Yeagers. This will be my first class, so I dont know from first-hand experience, but I have seen pics and heard positive descriptions on other boards. There are also motels nearby for those who wish privacy.

James, what kind of pistol would you recommend that I take and how many magazines and mag holders?

I have a Springfield XD .40 that is factory ported and I have a Smith&Wesson 1911SC Commander. The XD has a higher capacity and I carry it on duty, but I carry my 1911 off duty (which is most of the time as I'm a reserve deputy). I know that you recommend 1000 rounds, but is there any long strings of fire that I would have to have more than 2 extra magazines for the 1911??

[Guest GT_Rat]

ACK nevermind. Just noticed it was May 26th-27th. Anniversary. I would need the class when I got home to keep my wife from murdering me.

[Guest Archimedes]

Sweet!!

I should be able to save up the $$$ by then.

I'll run it by the GF. She's gonna need her own pistol by then, too.

Thanks again for a wonderful offer!!

We rent pistols for classes in Camden. If she doesn't have her own yet don't let that stop her from training.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Can we get a total price per person/couple? This is for the wife's sake. I know that will be her first question. Also, what is needed and what will be provided for the class.

[Guest TonyM]

I planned to do the May 5-6 FP class, but I can go later in the month without issue.

[Guest Len]

Cant tell you the actual price, that's up to James Yeager, but I can tell you that the Tactical Response website has a list of what to bring. For fighting pistol, that list is here: http://www.tacticalresponse.com/courses/fightingpistol.php

Len: Let me see if I can get a pass from wife. Its memorial day weekend and her birthday, so I might be out. On second thopught, Might be a good birthday present for her.....

EDIT: Wife gave the green light, so I think its a go! Not 100% sure if wife will make it though.

[Guest db99wj]

This is very interesting, my brother in law were discussing this, this afternoon. Pricing would help, I can definitely have the ammo, I already have 500 rds.

[Guest Shay VanVlymen]

The cost will be $350 each for TGO members and their spouses. We'll close the class at 12 students.

Fellas, for those who have not yet taken any training from Tactical Response DO SO!!!

Don't buy another gun, don't buy an ipod, don't buy a set of flowmasters- get some training!!! Your life will never be the same. What these guys teach is that significant!

Plus, it's a hell of a lot of fun!

[Guest WingedSnake]

I'd definitely like to attend - been considering taking a class from Tactical Response for some time now, and this is the perfect opportunity! Count me in. Let me know what information you need from me.

Fawn

[Guest Len]

I'm in for sure! Sign me up!

From my review of the posts, it looks like we may have our 12 already:

1) WingedSnake -in

2) Len -in

3) db99wj -very interested

4-5) Wareagle -in (possibly spouse as well)

6) TonyM -sounds like he's in

7) GlocKingTN -sounds like he's leaning towards coming

8) Archimedes - sounds in

9) Mike -in

10) Demon -maybe in

11) Rooster -sounds in

12) Tungsten -sounds in

So, anyone wanna go in on a bulk ammo purchase? I wonder what kind of deal we can get if we order 12,000 rounds...

-Len

[Donnie]

Go ahead and count me in for sure. A good friend runs a gun shop here and I can see if he'll cut us a deal on bulk ammo.

What caliber and how many thousand of each do we need???

I need 1000 rounds of .45acp.

[TGO David]

I'd be interested in hearing bulk pricing on 9mm, .40SW and .45acp. Say 1000 rounds of each.

[wareagle]

I'd be interested in pricing on 1000rnds each of 9mm and .45ACP.

ALso, Just talked to wife, and I don't get the feeling that she is committed to making the course.

[Guest 0down]

I'll definitely go. Sounds like a hell of a weekend

[Donnie]

OK, I just talked to Joe Lundberg at Heor Gear about bulk ammo. He has Atlanta Arms Ammo, which is factory reloaded once shot brass. It's pretty good stuff and I use it for target shooting. It comes in 50 round boxes. He said to let him know a couple weeks in advance in order to be able to get it.

Bulk pricing for ammo is:

9mm - $195 per 1000

.357 Sig - $260 per 1000

.40S&W - $245 per 1000

.45acp - $280 per 1000
