I may or may not have been wrong.
When I posted about the one thing to practice… I could have been wrong. Most of the problems people have with reloading isn’t getting the mag into the gun… It’s just getting the mag.

Can’t Afford Training.
I get this a lot… Guy wants to train, but can’t afford it. I understand this. Ammo is expensive. Training courses are expensive. Training Videos are expensive. (That’s like 2 boxes of ammo!)

The Tactical Carbine Class
I’ll write a full recount of the Tactical Carbine class as soon as I get some of the photos that were promised. The class was great. We had The Gun Dudes in attendance and we had a great time. Those guys are very good shooters, each of them. They are true Gun Dudes.
