I had a fun weekend,,,
Went to a training class at the Stillwater Armory this weekend,,,
It was a concealed carry law class with some practical shooting as well. Since we would be putting quite a few rounds downrange,,, I opted for my CZ-75B Kadet in .22 LR,,, I fell in love all over again. Many hundreds of rounds downrange,,, I think I have finally gotten past the "tea-cup" grip,,, It's difficult breaking an old habit especially when it was "trained" into you. So for a while now I am going to try the modified isosceles stance,,, And a full two handed grip instead of the tea-cup grip. My accuracy has definitely dropped a bit,,, But my pro swears it will get better. The only problem I had over the entire day of shooting,,, Was getting my pistol back from my pro,,, He had never shot a CZ-75B Kadet,,, I had to pry it from his hands. Aarond

training
Good for you Aaround. Its always good to get a little training and trying something new. I sort of know what you mean about losing your gun for awhile. Lost my Glock 19 with its Advantage Arms .22 conversion when I stopped by the range to sight it in!!

Hello dds115,,,
The class was at the Stillwater Armory,,,
Tom Smith and his wife Sabra were the instructors. The class was a repeat for me,,, It's the required training to apply for a concealed carry permit. I wanted a refresher on the legal basics so I took the class again,,, There is always some extra shooting time after the class,,, His facility is on his property just out of town,,, He's building a very nice range. Here's his website. Aarond

The tea-cup grip was a trained thing,,,
Using the tea-cup grip was more than just a habit with me.
In the early 70's that's what the U. S. Air Force trained me to use,,, That was the only formal handgun training I ever received,,, I took advantage of all the range time I could get. The next class I am taking will be,,, Using the Handgun at Night – Flashlight Techniques Classes like these are like mini-vacations for me,,, I could easily spend that much on one solo night on the town.
