As some of you ladies know I have been inquiring about having an all ladies training session with HandK. I have spoken to him and he has agreed to lend us his expertise. So now we need to come up with a date and place. So if anyone has any land available in Northern Indiana and willing to let us train there I would greatly appreciate it. Please pipe in ladies if you have any idea's or you are wanting to take the training. Thanks again HandK!!!
Date: June 4th
Place: Williamsport, IN (address will be sent via a pm closer to date)
Time: 9 A.M
Bring a side dish if you would like. I will update more as soon as I can.
This should help answer any question anyone might have without having to read through the entire thread. Thanks Gary!

I will also bring a couple of 22 and three or four .380's and a couple of 9mm guns that anyone may use as long as they pay for the ammo or pick up some ammo for them!! You want to have comfortable cloths on as you will be doing some moving so tennis shoes would be better than sandals!! Hope this helps, Gary

You need a OWB holster, and a belt! at least two mags three is much better, and it is also better to have a mag pouch for the two extra mags, I don't care where you carry your gun CC or OC but for the safety of the class an outside the waist ban and a good leather holster can't be beat!

I understand that there will be varying degrees of skill when we get a group of people together, so Everyone needs to remember to bring a chair, we will be doing a shortened basic pistol class so when we start live fire we will all be on the same skill level!! Hope this helps, H&K
I went back and quoted all the answers to the questions that have been asked so all the class information is in one spot, and If Beth will copy it to the first post everyone should be able to find it! Thank you, Gary
