    For those of you that attended yesterday's lunch gathering you got to meet Todd Looney, owner of Firmus Arms (a new company here in Austin). Next weekend Todd's company will be hosting their first "Defensive/Fighting Pistol I" class. I have been in contact with Todd about the class and about the future of his business and TGT, Todd is dedicated to the success of his business and would love to see more involvement from the central Texas gun community to which I responded what better group than the TGT group! The course is being taught by a highly experienced instructor (info below) and will be beneficial to anyone seeking to become more proficient with their handgun!

    So, I am extending Todd's invitation to all of you (per his request) to attend next weekend's class! Below is the flyer that Todd emailed to me about the event!


    PS, the first 25 people to register (there were 16 as of this morning I believe) get a brick of 22 shells...he was down to the last few boxes of win 333 when I talked to him this morning so act fast!

    This seems like it would be a GREAT class for commissioned security officers, or peace officers who work in smaller departments that do not have/ or have a very limited training budget.( in other words, people who open carry)

    The average Joe/Joanne that carry every day probably do not need this course with the limitations put on it by the school. The average person carries concealed, has a smaller framed and caliber gun to accommodate this type of carry.

    I am going to pass the info on this class along to a couple of security companies I have done classroom and range training for. I think this fits their bill perfectly.
