This. They played fun at the guy with a Ruger. If they could tell you were bothered by it they would back off. It's all for fun.

All the guns worked. They just like glocks and like 9 mm. They do not like 1911 and didn't say a word against the hks, m&p, or xd there.

To show that a gun won't go off and that it is a tool, not a pretty little thing you just admire. Not saying I agree with throwing it down but that was their reasoning.

I recently completed Tactical Responses' Fighting Pistol class. I thought I would attempt to write a review in case you are like me and wondering if it is worth the time and money. Friday: I left Knoxville at 1500 and heading straight to Camden, TN. It took me 4 hours on the dot to arrive there. When I signed up for the class I opted to stay in the team room (more on that later). I arrived at the team room and was greeted by Jay Gibson who actually lives there. He showed me around and I picked my bunk, grabbed some dinner, and called it a night. Saturday: We met at the Tactical Response store at 0900 for class. The class started with introductions. Teachers, a dentist, construction workers, medical people, and firearms instructors were all in attendance. We went over proper draws, malfunctions, sight alignment, mind preparation for fights, and of course range rules. After a relatively short class period, we all loaded our cars and caravanned to the range. Once on the range we again went over the rules and what to do in a medical emergency. We started off with proper draws in steps. An instructor was available for about every 3-4 people. They critiqued you, were picky, and weren't afraid to piss you off. They took their jobs seriously and wanted you to do it correctly. We begin with one shot drills followed by the 360 degree scan. We moved from DEA dot drills, to reloads, FAST drills, all type of malfunctions, kneeling, supine shooting, strong hand drills, shooting on the move, one hand reloads and malfunction clearance. After range day, the guys decided to have a cook out and about 10 of us went. We stopped at walmart and got whatever food we wanted, went and cooked it. We all told stories that we have come across in our occupations. It was a good time for all. Sunday: Again we met at the store at 0900. The lecture lasted three hours and was amazing. James Yeager spoke on mindset, tactics, and lethal force. This lecture was worth the drive by itself. After lunch we hit the range again. We learned shooting on the move, retention drills, and cover/concealment. After the final drill, we all got our certificates and loaded back up dirty and tired. Team room: This is a free place to stay that is in the home of James Yeager. It is in his basement and has two bunk rooms that sleep 6 each (12 total). Our class was lucky and only about 6 stayed there so the one bathroom and one shower didn't seem too bad. They have a refridgator for whatever you wanna keep cool as well as microwaves and foreman grills. Jay has a mega collection of movies and we all watched some each night. James Yeager: Cool dude. I looked him up before the class and people either love him or hate him. I really liked him. He's a very down to earth guy and I believe he knows what he is talking about. His goal is to teach you how to FIGHT and not how to shoot. In fact, at the beginning of each drill the instructor will yell FIGHT! to denote the beginning of the drill. Jay Gibson: This fella knew his stuff. When I first arrived at the team room the conversation(s) we had were like pulling teeth. We have nothing in common other than a mutual love for guns. He has been a contractor and knows his stuff but outside of class, I found it difficult to carry a conversation. It didn't bother me much since I was there to learn how to fight and not make a Facebook friend. Guns: Bring a Glock 19. If you don't, they will make fun of whatever gun you have (in a nice way). A fella brought a 1911 and they gave him so much crap. It worked the entire class and only got a little funky on the last drill as the mags got dirty. I brought a Glock 30, so of course I had a small penis since I shot .45. Thoughts: This is my PERSONAL opinion so please keep that in mind. I LOVED this class. I would take it again. In fact, there were MULTIPLE people taking this class for the second or third time. The team room is a great place to stay if you have more experience than I do. I felt a but excluded during conversations since I've never been to Iraq or shot someone. I would probably stay there again b/c I'm a cheapo, but I would strongly consider a hotel next time (note the next time). The classwork, range time, ad instructors were all top notch and I feel like I'm truly a better fighter now. I can't wait for the next class. Note two things: 1. If you are offended by language, then you will hate your life. I heard the F word about 700 times (ironically the number of bullets I used). 2. You will throw your gun on the gravel. We all lined up our sights and the instructor said for us all to drop our guns. My 30 hit the ground and didn't go bang. None of the guns did. The 1911 fella cringed a little when his Kimber hit the ground though. Hope this helps anyone considering taking a class from Tactical Response. I highly recommend it.

You're still going.

I would post it on here or another site for trade for whatever color you want. Someone may be looking for a pink one, ya never know. Then if it doesn't trade off, paint it if you plan on keeping it.

Why did they have a camera on to start with? Planned? I'm thinking so.

Pretty sure we need to hang out.

Bill's outpost had one for $319 today. Thought about getting it but decided to leave it for Ohshoot.

Nu-uh. For real?

What?? Blasphemy! Beulah is a good shotgun name!

I thought I remembered a thread on this but I can't find it. Have you named your gun? If so, what name and what kind of gun? I'm in the process of naming mine now so just wondering.

He's lost a ton of weight. Wow.

It looks like he would shoot his finger off when he unfolds it the second time.

Yep. He told his agent to make it happen and called the other teams and said no thanks! Also, Jeff Saturday is rumored to be going to Denver as well.

The only problem I see with your argument is that it makes sense.

Thoughts? Does anyone care as much as I do?

Details.

Dunno. Just showed a pic comparing the show vs comic. In the comic with was an african american gal with the 2 leashed walkers. I gonna read the comics between seasons.

She was in the comics according to story sync! I like that feature.

He has one of them extension tubes.

Ever do the story sync? It's pretty neat.

Just saw the replay. He shoots Shane and aims back at Rick.

Why does Shane's glock make a cocking sound every time he draws it?

Glock 17/19. AR-15. Throw in an 870 depending the deal(s) you got.
