Training Courses?

Just Curious how many of you have taken any kind of Firearms training courses not including Military Service(THANK YOU).

I have a friend who is new to firearms and is looking to buy a pistol and also wants to take a course as well. I have own a G19 for many years but only recently started shooting it. I never really had any type of instructions just kind of looked online for ideas on what to do(and not DO) so I wouldn't mind taking a class as well.

We are looking into the classed at TropGun since it is convenient to both of our homes. Just looking for some feedback on Course whether they be at Trop or somewhere else.

Thank you,
Steve

NRA Basic Pistol is a great place for your friend to start.

I see you're in Shillington. If you are looking for training closer to home, I've heard good things about Sensibly Armed in Mt Penn. http://sensiblyarmed.com
I haven't taken any of their classes, but I understand they're big on training and instruction. And they have an indoor range.

Also feel free to ask your local cops when you see them getting coffee at Wawa at 3am. Especially that cop with the shaved head (about 6'1", driving a Crown Vic)

I'll show you how the cops train. It involves lots of dogs.

We don't rise to our expectations, we fall to our level of training and proficiency.

If you have the means, get training, and practice what you learn there.

Dam now your going to have me looking over my shoulder for a Crowne Vic. And my mother always told me that nothing good can come from being out at 3am so unlikely I will be near wawa at that time.
