Hi all, It's time to buy a carry gun for my husband. He's a fairly new shooter and absolutely must not get 'made' while he is at work. He's been carrying an NAA mini but we finally have a little money to get him a real gun. So help us out here... The top of our short list right now is a...

I was just looking at the links page, and I think the Firearms Academy of Seattle should be added under "Training." It's run by Marty Hayes, who's an active member here or was the last time I checked. FAS hosts Ayoob, Cirillo, Chuck Taylor, and others as well as running their own classes here...

Is anyone interested in a get together in the Portland or Seattle area sometime this spring or summer? pax
