Class Review: C&G Training – Introduction to Pistol/Firearms
It’s been about 3 years since I attended any sort of basic firearms class, so when the owner of C&G invited me out to review his intro-level handgun class I was excited to, a) get back to the basics in a professionally taught firearms class and, b) get some material for this blog. The class was hosted in the Pittsburgh area by the North Buffalo Sportman’s Club. Our four instructors were all active law enforcement officers (LEO) with multiple firearms instructor certifications.
Quality gun, but not a quality holster, what gives?
The majority of people when purchasing a firearm want something that is quality because the most common intended purpose with a handgun is defense.

K.I.S.S. gear selection
I was talking with a police friend of mine, who, as am I is a bit of a gear junkie. I spent an amount of time I don’t even want to think about researching what gear is out there. I check it all out; the new and improved gadgets, the cool thing that has 3,000 light settings that I’ll never use, and gizmos that are way over my pay grade. But over the years, I’ve learned though different training classes, experience, and my pocketbook to abide by the K.I.S.S. method.
