  • This class teaches practical applications for those who carry concealed handguns.  It's a great class for those with new Concealed Carry handgun permits but no follow-up training.  It is NOT the class which qualifies you to obtain a NC Concealed Carry permit.

  • PURPOSE: Provide the student with foundational knowledge on which to build their skills in the art of self-defense with a handgun. Students will leave this course as educated beginners with a tool kit of drills and practical knowledge on which to practice and build up their proficiency.

  • Topics: 
    

  1. 1. Safety Briefing
  2. 2. Range Commands
  3. 3. Class Philosophy - Mindset, Situational Awareness, training with purpose, efficiency. 
  4. 4. Understanding your Weapon System
  5. 5. Fundamentals of Marksmanship - Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Trigger Control, Recoil Management, Running the Slide, Press-Check
  6. 6. Drawing from holster and safe re-holstering
  7. 7. Dry-fire and Live-fire drills, including  
  8.      a. Ammunition Management - tactical and emergency reloads. 
  9.      b. Recoil Management
  10.      c. Malfunction Clearing
  11. 8.  Debrief/After-Action Discussion

  • REQUIREMENTS:

  1. An open mind, willingness to take instruction and the ability to challenge pre-conceived notions we’ve all learned from YouTube instructors and Hollywood.  This course teaches only practical, real-world techniques.
  2. A functional, compact or duty-sized semi-automatic handgun with at least five (5) magazines (Glock 19 or larger).  No subcompact (Glock 26, SIG P938) handguns or revolvers permitted.
  3. A strong-side holster with a sturdy belt and multiple-magazine carrier.  Appendix carry, small of back, cross-draw, purses, belly bands and shoulder holsters will not be permitted in this class; however, all these forms of carry will be discussed.  It is more efficient and safer to teach the class with everyone using the same gear.  For safety reasons, no holsters with active retention (SERPA holsters) will be permitted.  A molded Kydex holster manufactured specifically for your model of firearm is highly recommended, but leather holsters are also acceptable.  If you are in doubt, please contact the instructor prior to class.
  4. At least three hundred (300) rounds of factory-loaded, copper-jacketed ammunition.  No reloaded ammunition or steel-core (armor piercing) rounds are permitted.
  5. Red-dot optics are permitted (and in fact encouraged).  Red dot sights should be sighted in at ten (10) yards prior to class.  If you have questions about how to properly sight-in your optic, contact the instructor prior to class.
  6. Weather conditions are often rapidly changing in North Carolina, so please dress appropriately and in layers.  Class is held rain or shine, as you cannot pick the weather for your gunfight.
  7. A packed lunch is recommended – food options are limited in the DPRC area and lunch will be held to a strict 1-hour time limit.
  8. Water, lots of it.  Hydration is important, as this will be an active class.

• Suppressor Metering Event Rain Date

  • When
    Sunday, December 18, 2022
  •  
    1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Location
    Range 1

  EVENT DETAILS:

  Come out and have your suppressor tested using standard suppressor testing procedures, with state-of-the-art test equipment.

  This event is open to members and guests (normal guest rules apply).

  When: Sunday, December 4, 2022, 1PM-4PM

  Rain Date: Sunday, December 18, 2022, 1PM-4PM

  Location: Range 1

  Registration: None - Show up and test your suppressor/host/ammo combo

  Cost – Free

  Match Director - Jim Pendergraft

  Contact Stan Mahaffey @ tooling@nc.rr.com with questions.

  Weather:

  • Clear weather is required. Rain will ruin the microphones.
  • We need low to moderate wind. >12 MPH is out of spec.

  Ammo requirements:

  • 20+ rounds per firearm/suppressor combo. In a perfect world we only need 13 rounds (3 unsuppressed, 10 suppressed), but be sure to bring extra rounds for do-overs, etc.
  • It’s good to meter common ammo types so people can compare results more directly. While you can shoot anything you want, here are some recommendations:
  • • CCI Std Vel is a good choice for .22 LR. It’s widely available and commonly used for metering.
    • For centerfire pistol Winchester White Box is also widely available and commonly used for metering. Generic Federal is used a lot too.
    • For handloads the bullet weight and power are useful data points.
    • Supersonic rounds are loud in any case so brand doesn’t matter so much.

  Metering protocol:

  • We’ll record your suppressor model, host firearm, barrel length if it’s non-standard, ammo type, and caliber. If you have a Form 1 suppressor, any information you want to provide is useful.

  Example:

  Suppressor         Sparrow             

  Host                     Buck Mark 4"   

  Ammo                 CCI SV

  Caliber                 .22 LR

  Dry or Wet?       Dry     

  • We will follow MIL-Std-1474D, with one mic 1 meter to the left of the muzzle, 1.6 meters from the ground. We will also record left and right ear sound pressure levels, so we’ll have three data points per shot.
  • The meters are all Larson-Davis 800Bs, with B&K 4938 mics. These have extremely fast rise times to capture the peaks.
  • While 30 shots are considered the minimum for most statistical purposes, experience has shown that 10 shots give similar results. 10 shots are also considerably faster and less expensive.
  • When the data are all tabulated and checked the results will be made available to everyone for free on the DPRC site under “Events / Suppressor Measurement” via a Google Docs spreadsheet. We will add to the previous event results sheet.
