This is episode 86. Merry Christmas!! Werkz Holster Giveaway!! Winner Winner!! Adrian!! Greg, With all of your recent talk on CCW and women shooting I'd like to share a recent experience with my wife and Front Sight training. First,some background and my thoughts going into the Front Sight training. I've been shooting for over 25 years, including competition in the Action Pistol events with IPSC/USPSA and 3 Gun competitions. I shoot well enough to be classified as USPSA Limited Master and Open Class Grand Master. My wife's father was an LEO so she was raised around firearms and very comfortable shooting. About a year ago a friend asked if I'd be interested in a Front Sight membership. I didn't think I'd get anything from their training, I mean what could Front Sight have to offer a USPSA GM? With much prodding and begging I agreed to give it a try and this past March I met him in Las Vegas for their 4 day handgun class. After the class I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the experience. I expected to be bored but the instructors actually do a great job of keeping all students engaged and pushed me even though I expected to be held back. This past Summer my wife started to express interest in doing some shooting and asked to go to the range. In October we made the trip to Las Vegas and took the 4 Day handgun Class together. Despite having just been in March I was still pushed and my wife came home a safe and competent firearm owner. Years ago I tried teaching my wife to play golf and neither of us enjoyed the day. With that in mind I knew I didn't want to try that with handgun training. The Front Sight program took her from Novice to a solid shooter and made her very confident and comfortable with her handgun. She was so happy with the class that she wants to go back in January with our two daughters, age 16 and 22. Giving them the gift of Self Defense and the skills to pull it off. Where did I hear that recently.......hmmmm? "Brownells Police Store helps make this show possible.

I personally feel that a rigid belt is very important to help support the weight of the firearm I am choosing to carry today. So what do I look for when it comes to a belt?
