Quick Review of Critical Incident Strategies HCP Class

[midtennchip]

I (finally!) took my HCP class with Todd and Dustin at CIS today. First, both Todd and Dustin are good guys and handle the entire class with professionalism. Obviously, I haven't taken any other HCP classes to which I could compare the CIS class, but I can tell you that I was very appreciative of the amount of personal attention (not too much, not too little, just about right) Todd and Dustin gave during the course. It was obvious several of the students had significant experience with handguns and were given just enough help/instruction. However, there were several students that obviously had not shot handguns very much. Todd and Dustin were very patient with them but were also quick to point out safety violations (also without being condescending).

In fact, one student had a revolver, but evidently intended to use a semi-auto pistol after getting the permit. Todd willing loaned the student a semi-auto (and ammo) and walked the student through the operation of the semi-auto. Todd did this without slowing down the class (good job, Todd!).

I'm sure there are other classes with better facilities, but the CIS facilities were perfectly acceptable. Overall, I would highly recommend CIS. I'm looking forward to the carbine class later this year.

Congrats. It's nice to hear you had a great time. Get down to the DMV, then it's time for mailbox duty. Take it easy on the mailman/woman.

Thanks Chip!

You're probably just saying this because you aced everything...

Thanks for the kind words Chip, it was great having you in the class.
