Student TestimonialsI attended GDH in Harrisburg on 16 & 17 Aug, 2003, and write to share my *postpartum* sentiments. I've fired 1000's of rds thru dozens of different handguns over the past 30 yrs, but GDH gave me more control over, and accuracy w/, my handgun than I thought possible. It's not just the InSights' technique, but also the excellent instruction that are responsible for my newfound proficiency. As a professor w/ 23 yrs teaching experience I was impressed w/ John Holschen's pedagogical expertise. This course should be required for anyone who wants to obtain a carry permit. I'm looking fwd to taking Tactical Handgun next yr. Please put me on your mailing list. ~ Mark S., Lititz, PA |

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat kind of gun should I bring?We suggest bringing a handgun that is full size (similar to Glock 17) or compact size (similar to Glock 19). Can I bring a small gun, such as S&W Shield, Ruger LCP or similar? We do not recommend small guns for this class. Smaller, sub-compact guns are often not as reliable and are more difficult to manipulate. Also the magazines hold less ammunition. So your training time will be more frustrating and less productive. What holster should I bring? Belt holsters only -- no drop-leg rigs, shoulder holsters, etc. And your holster should be made for your exact model of gun. We recommend the Kramer IWB#3 horsehide holster (with screws not snaps on the belt loops) or the Kramer Belt Scabbard horsehide holster. Also acceptable are Kydex belt holsters such as the Tenicor Arx or Certum, or Blade-Tech. No Blackhawk Serpa holsters allowed. Holsters must be rigid and stay open when the gun is not in them -- no collapsible holsters. No retention devices are required or recommended. Also, you must wear pants that have belt loops. What belt and mag pouch should I bring? Bring a gun belt such as the Kramer horsehide belt -- 1.25" or 1.5" works well. Kramer horsehide mag pouches are also recommended. Kydex mag pouches are acceptable. No collapsible mag pouches -- they should be rigid like the holsters and stay open when the mag is not in them. |
