Frequently Asked Questions

What is the instructor's favorite full-size pistol?

The instructor's favorite full-size pistol is the Glock 17M. He carried it during his time with the FBI and appreciated its simplicity, reliability, and effectiveness for duty use. He also notes the Glock 34 Gen 5 with a specific aftermarket trigger as a strong contender.

What is the instructor's advice for new shooters feeling overwhelmed at the range?

For new shooters feeling overwhelmed, the instructor recommends signing up for basic pistol fundamentals classes to learn the correct way to shoot and build muscle memory. He also advises them to ask range staff for guidance on the process, emphasizing that asking questions is not a sign of stupidity.

What are the pros and cons of compensators on 9mm handguns for concealed carry?

Compensators on 9mm handguns can reduce recoil and muzzle rise, but they also increase flash and noise. The instructor considers them non-essential for concealed carry, especially on smaller 9mm pistols, viewing them as a trade-off rather than a definitive advantage.

Why does the instructor recommend carrying a round in the chamber?

The instructor strongly advises carrying a round in the chamber for self-defense handguns because attempting to rack a round under extreme stress is unreliable and can be fatal. He cites real-world incidents where this failure led to tragic outcomes, emphasizing the need for immediate readiness.
