Default Handgun classes?

I'm kind of interested in taking a handgun class. Maybe something my dad and I could do together. Are there any local ones offered semi-frequently that are also affordable? It's kind of hard for me to plunk down a couple hundred bucks for a class when I could spend it on ammo...

If you've attended any locally, please provide some information and tell me whether or not you'd recommend it to others.

Thanks guys!

We offer both NRA First Steps and Basic Pistol at Pitcairn Monroeville Sportsmen's Club. Classes are usually 45-75 range. PM me if you're interested.

No, you do not need to be a member. (But you might want to join once you see the club!)

Check fireinstitute.org also.


They have a one day handgun class that's very cheap.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be looking into both of these and hopefully attending one in the near future!

I second the suggestions above.... either of them should be affordable and educational.

I attended TonyF's One Day Handgun Clinic, and was very pleased.

Either of the classes are priced low enough that you could attend them twice without breaking the bank.

I just took the Basic Pistol with Paul Fedorka and his crew out at Coraopolis Sportsmen's club. Had a great time.... They don't have anything posted for upcoming pistol classes -- but I know they were working on their schedule this morning.

Their website is http://www.safe-tee.net/
