I'll butt in. The course is $200 or so, plus travel etc IF you are LE or certain occupations. They don't just take anyone...so I read.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Here's more info for you, AIRret.

Any GSSF member or firearms instructor can take the course. You don't have to be LE.

Thanks RRP!

Hey, you padded my suggestion that ammo might be around $4000, not $5200. Thankfully my currect costs are closer to $14 /50 and I will redirect play money to golf balls in another two months.

I like my Beretta. The Nano is the only one I ever shot. Great carry gun. Thin and light weight.

Actually, you said he should spend $600 for the firearm, that $600 again in training, and $4000 a year in ammo. My fingers still work.........................

A dollar here, a dollar there, pretty soon it's real money

I'm afraid to actually track my spending

Since January, I bought a new Glock 42, FNH FNS-9, and Dan Wesson ECO.
Good thing I sold a HK P7 PSP and a DW CBOB.

RainingAgain, your definitely sick, I know because I've got the same illness, it's called
"GAS"….gun acquisition syndrome.

They just want you to think that..............................I've sold 5, and I thought I was cured, but then they all got replaced by something else. I've had the berettafever, the signess, kahrpul tunnel, rugeritus, I've had to have a smith & wessonoctomy, had a waltheroptomy. I'm wondering what's next? A coltopsie, a springfieldodomy..............I have this feeling that I'll never have glockoma.......getting old is h&!!.

You guys are hilarious.

Glad to be here.

I heard that smoking pot helps...not sure how but that's what I hear. You can even get a prescription in some states,

When it comes to Glocks, I believe in abstinence...JUST SAY NO!

Glocks have no soul.

I may be inexperienced, but holding a Glock is like holding a brick. A zombie brick. With no soul.

My (Gen2) Glock 17 oozes soul. Fits me like old jeans. Perfectly balanced, points naturally, fires true, feels great. I always know it'll fire and the round is going where I want. Bought it new and I'll never trade or sell.

Ahh. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Glock owners are easier to wind up than us Kahrnuts.

Glock on!
