I still have my dillion dies on order and will be happy to put them on whenever they show up. Check sites and call around and I'd bet you could find some. Also, could be wrong but I feel like components are seeing a slight trend in the right direction

I got my dillion press/accessories order the Friday after placing order on Saturday morning (website said press was 8-12wks backordered) but only thing that didn't come was die set. Its been just about 4 weeks now, finally just got a set of hornady 9mm dies I'm picking up today - they are out there if you look for them.

Absolutely agree - hats off to those who take the time and effort to not only teach and train others but also invest their own time and resources to continue their training and learning.

Sweet, finally will get a low light class - Hope its is a mild night!

Going as slow and gentle as you can, can you get a click with no movement? That should be your first step.
Can't really see well, but on the 2nd press - if you just look at your hands, I think I can see the whole gun move. Might take a video from the side just watching your hands.

1 armed home owner vs 3 masked, gun toting thugs? GOOD JOB ON THE HOMEOWNER!!

Ya, that's why I'm not a put on my gun to run to the store person. If I'm awake and have pants on, I have a gun on - usually just a G43 in a pocket around the house - but still a gun within arms reach.

Thank you both ! - I have seen that match at Strategic Edge, but I didn't want to show up 'completely clueless' and slow up a match for everyone...
Thanks,
Tim
We all started out that way. Just focus on being safe and you'll be fine.

SGAammo is usually the best but brownells occasionally has a good sale on certain ammo with free shipping which is the best value I see online. I only buy by the case, only decent brass cased and pretty much just 9mm or 22lr.

This was a really great class put on by two highly qualified individuals. I think this would be the perfect next step following getting a carry permit for everyone who looks to carry a gun for self defense or even just possibly ever having to use a gun for defense. Hope they can continue to put this class together for lots of people to get a day of very useful info and training.
I learned something within the first 2 minutes of Lee starting and picked up tons of useful information to retain throughout his whole class. He does a great job of going over his material - even though sometimes it is lots of legal-ese talk that he is breaking down to lay mans terms (thank goodness for me). I even learned the importance and difference between "can I" and "may I", and more importantly for this class, "must I"
.
I've been through Randy's flagship class years ago but this was a great compacted refresher for lots that I've forgotten. His - pests eat fast - is very good info and mindset to have ( + KEEP) in your toolbox. Don't know what that is? Get to class and find out. We even had the great fortune of having the monsoon finally break and got to enjoy the range without getting soaked to the bone. Also got to experience shooting drills in quicksand - which is sure to be useful someday. Had a great time and enjoyed spending the day with some great folks.

Have a lot of their parts in my CZ'S. I've called and spoken to them several times- nothing but top notch.

How far do you travel to get there ? My only reservation would be, would I actually make the journey enough to justify the cost
Its only about 14 miles for me and almost always on my way home (out of nashville) - so it's super convenient. 60 miles would probably be hard to justify.

Another vote for Royal range - the facility and folks are superb. I have the DC membership going on my 2nd year - I shoot there A LOT.

Hard to beat SGammo, except when brownells has their free shipping on ammo. I only buy it by the case though.
-
Looking forward to it. I have to totally agree - one of the best cost to benefit ratios I gotten.
Hoping the weather is a little more kind to us this time.

I'm not sure if I need or want one but I'd bet lots of money that they sell tons of em.

Ahh, yes I was confused - thanks for the clarification. I look forward to hopefully making both.

Somewhat tough day for training, really tough day to stay warm and dry. Had a great time though - which has proven true every time I make it out. Continue to be impressed with the folks who show up and train - really enjoy seeing and training with familiar faces and always enjoy meeting new ones.
I had a nice roller coaster day of shooting - some pretty ugly blunders but mixed in with some of my more solid shooting ability. Cold hands and extra cover garments can be challenging. I had a few runs of shooting with a pretty terrible grip from the get go. Saw some of my better runs came from just focusing on first establishing a good grip or when we started from the ready position.
Shot some really good drills and then Randy came up with a REALLY good one that I look forward to doing again and some variations of.
Ya, looking forward to making the event in January, looked at the website (firstpersonsafety.com) and didn't find anything on it yet.

Sweet! Looking forward to this.

Not gonna answer every question. But Chattanooga is GREAT! Lived there for 7 years before moving to Nashville. We miss Chattanooga sometimes but are thankful for our move for lots of other reasons.
Crime in Chatt is probably mostly limited to the bad parts of town ( isn't that the case most everywhere). But there is usual stuff everywhere but I came from Atlanta so Chattanooga was an improvement.
No sales TAX is GREAT.
Bugs are plentiful from April to October when it starts to get cooler. We have lots of OFF.
Chattanooga has lots of good gun folks, you won't have a problem finding a club/range and having plenty of gun folk/activities.

Cool, I'll be there.

I have a Streamlight Stylus Pro that is 2xAAA. I have EDC'd it in the nylon holster in my pocket for a long time. Batteries seem to last a long time for me. May not be the brightest on the market, but works great.
They are $20 from Amazon.
Yep - same here. Been carrying one of these everyday for somewhere around 2 years now. I've worn over half the coating of black off and washed it tons of times, pretty much beaten it up good and it's never missed a lick. I love that its small enough for my pocket, super simple operation and bright enough for pretty much anything I need.

Very nice! Those are really pretty grips on the 75.
I've been exclusively shooting/training with my P-07/09's since Nov. - really digging the CZ train again. So much so I just landed a limited edition 75b matte finish off another forum. Can't wait to get it.

Randy has inspired me to post. Super shooting with the rifle sir!
Don't really do much rifle but my pistol group shooting continues to get better.
Successfully starting to put 5 on headbox at 25yd and almost a fantastic group but a stupid flier to right!
Also, new M&P shield plus, performance center model with crimson trace garbage dot - really great little gun set up. Going to get another with 507k milled for carry gun. Not too shabby for slimline pistol and 2" dots at 10yd.
