A few things not in the write-up:
It's always nice to be sitting in the class and have someone walk up behind you and say, "We don't have enough instructors here to un-f*&$ you." Then, the same guy does around and tells everyone that you sandbagged your intro.... A special thanks to John Hearne.
I took my M&P45 with intentions of shooting it in the class as I usually can coax a bit more accuracy out of it. I have six mags for it. One mag spring recently went FUBAR; so, I left it behind. Then I had another mag spring give up the ghost on the first day of the class. Into the lockbox went the M&P45 and out came my trusty old Gen2 G17 and mags dating back to before the '94 sadness. This is the second time that I have had to change out the mag springs for M&P45, and I got it sometime in 2010 or 2011.
