You know, I find it amazing that some of the schools and instructors get so focused on gear. I've been to classes where everything from revolvers to Glocks to Sigs to some sort of 1911 showed up on the line and all were well run by their particular driver.
Even more impressive after reading some of these posts is that the instructors(s) were able to work with all the students and the idiosyncracies of their particular platform, holster system, and ammo loadout.
I suppose I was spoiled by the first instructors I took classes from, I sort of thought they all did things that way.
