They will hand you a gi-normous binder with a gold mine of info in it. Printouts of the slides are in it with areas for notes next to them. I don't think the laptop is needed, but you might want to take it just because you want the option. I stayed at the Comfort Suites and liked it a lot. It is a gun friendly hotel and you can get the DPS discount if you ask and tell them you are attending the 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!

Welcome! We are glad to have you with us
Marty knows everything "Glock". He is the husband of Crossfire who moderates here. She will likely see your inquiry and respond soon or you might contact her directly.

The lighting at the DPS range is good. It is outdoors so pray for no rain and maybe a little breeze this time of year, The quals will be in the morning in two relays if it is done the way it was in April when I was there. It is an impressive range. Very nice berms. And they run a tight ship on safety. Make sure you have a good tight collar and hat since the guy on your left might wing some brass your way. I fielded a lot of them to the side of my head that day. Sunscreen is not a bad idea either. Good luck on your class. You will find they work hard to make the class interesting and effective.

You will do great! You have determination and a great attitude so know you will overcome this little bump in the road. Before you know it, you will look back and smile knowing your efforts paid off.

You will do fine! If you like mountains, you will like the berms at the DPS range

How many women are in your class? There were only two in mine. The RSO behind me gripped my shoulders just before the last rounds at 15 yards with the semi-automatic and said "You got'em now, Annie Oakley!" Just be ready for some such. It was encouraging, but it may have also been a test to see if I would turn and lase someone with my muzzle. I was so busy ignoring the brass constantly thunking me in the side of the head from the shooter on my left I hardly noticed,
Make sure your eye protection covers the sides of your face, your hat brim is low enough, and your collar buttoned up.

Your opinion is always good enough for me, LT

Some people just don't shoot a glock well (me for one). Do you have equal targeting difficulty with other semi-automatics? Please forgive me if this question causes an increase in stress for glock fiends
Also, if you have not taken some training with a really good instructor, consider that. We all have glitches in what we think we are doing right. A sharp observer can sometimes see right away what we need to do a little differently to really get on track.

Good Luck to the June class.

I'm a night creature. I get to looking up stuff on guns and cruising my favorite forums and end up staying up wayyy tooo late.

A couple of guys I know are coming from Fort Worth. You will enjoy the class. Tell Sgt Bamsch TexaGal told you to ask LOTS of questions during the breaks
