    Except for ankle carry and small pockets, I think boot grips are unnecessary.
    When I give private lessons, if I need to demo, I use the student's gun. That way they don't think I'm using a tricked out SCCY to be able to shoot well.

    This intrigues me. Are you still thinking the three-gun (J, K/L and N frame) format?

    I also have an interest in this class. Having owned a second hand S&W 586, I prefer semi-autos simply due to the angle of my/the wrist being more comfortable with the semi-auto. The one time experience of firing a snubbie rekindled my interest. However, I have very large hands and found my middle finger getting slapped pretty well firing .38Spl in that snubbie.

    However, I’ve been teaching the snub heavily since before 9/11 and think I’ve evolved a very workable program. There are still many people who have snubs and some of them may be interested in knowing what they’re doing with it. To that end, I’m going to post my entire Program Of Instruction for anyone who wants to use it.

    I am still in the planning stages, but my current idea is to sort of mimic Tom Given's Conference format combined with the seminars I ran in SoCal. I would like to get a bunch of various instructors to teach a variety of classes related to revolvers and the students would pick their classes based on their interest. My "dream" would be a good sponsorship, a bunch of vendors of revolver products and numerous instructors and SME's from around the country converging on Texas for a few days of round gun Nirvana..........at minimum, we will do a two day with Wayne and I doing the bigger guns and Chuck Haggard and hopefully Claude to do the snubs. We'll see how it goes over the next couple of months.
    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
