re: Question about S&W Shield

You oughta look into the Givens class. Just make sure those cheap 1911's will withstand 1000 rounds in 2 days.

All I know about the Agoge classes is what I have seen on their website, and I'm sure it's good stuff.

But Tom is literally one of the "gurus of the gurus." That's not just me saying that (not that my opinion would carry much weight anywhere). Ask Massad Aayoob, or John Farnam, or Karl Rehn, or William Aprill, or James Yeager or SouthNarc about him, and you'll get the same answer.

Tom only comes to BR once a year. Some years he teaches a "Level 2" class (only people who have taken his Level 1 class, or an equivalent, can attend). Tom's 2014 class in BR is his signature "Level 1" Combative Pistol class.
