Re: Anybody else in the June 18-22 class?

CMalin wrote:I don't mean to derail your thread here, however I am new to the forum and attending the july 23rd Chl instructor class.

I will be shooting my Glock 22 and my colt diamondback 38. I noticed in a previous post that y'all refered to "Marty" for glock work. I am needing to get a new set of sights and possible a bit of trigger work done on my glock. Can you pass on his information?

Also what is the lighting like at the DPS range? I have heard it is a very nice facility, I just have been practicing with my revolver at a indoor range and it tends to get a bit dark and hard to see front sight at 15 yards. I was thinking about putting a little bit of white out on my front sight but don't want to ruin the blueing on the gun.


Any help will be greatly appreciated! :patriot:
DPS range will be sunny and hot on July 27. You can count on that! Don't worry about the light, but bring plenty of cold water.

Call Marty at 682-521-4966. If you are near Cabela's, you can usually find him there, except on Fridays.

BTW, one of our associates will also be in the July 23 class.

Marty doesn't work on Rugers for other people. Just Glocks. And it's not like that gun needed a lot of help, anyways. Just a little smoothing out. Her's will probably be just fine, right out of the box.

So, great choice, mamagamber! We wish you the best of luck with it!

Let us know if they allow it.
Right! There are only 1600 of them in the country and hubby has 6 and 8 inch barrel for it. It is worth a pretty penny. May have to pay for our retirement. It is so funny when hubby starts to explain how it works to people they look at him like he is crazy.
You own both a Chiappa Rhino and a Mateba Autorevolver? Those are two of the craziest revolvers ever made! You have something against plain old, normal, everyday revolvers? :lol:

Really, I wish you were closer to DFW. I have a Ruger GP100 that has been to more instructor schools than I have, and no one has ever failed to qualify with it. It has a great trigger, and is well balanced. This is what you need to be looking for. Something tried and true and easy on the hands.

Good luck to you! You can do it.

Re: Anybody else in the June 18-22 class?

What you really need is to practice with your revolver while someone stands behind you and yells at you, and calls you names.

That will fix it. :lol:

Re: Anybody else in the June 18-22 class?

Great news! Not many women have a problem with TOO much finger on the trigger with the Glock. The grip is so fat, many can barely reach the trigger at all. But, if you do happen to be blessed with long fingers (like me) it sure will make you pull your shots off to the side. Just the pad of the finger on the trigger, and no more.

One other thing I have noticed that you might watch for - since the Glock is so light, much of the weight is in the magazine. As you shoot, the magazine empties, and it becomes lighter, your shots tend to go higher and higher. Just concentrate on controlling the muzzle flip, and you will be fine.

Can't wait to hear your range report on Friday! You will be in awe over the DPS range. Shoot good, and do us proud!
