Nope, it's a pretty easy course and the gun is one of the easiest there is to detail.  I've been a Glock armorer for about 10 years and nothing has really changed in the course since the first one I attended.  You'll be there for the enitre alloted time though, so don't expect an early release.  You also might want to bring some chow cuase the lunch they provide isn't always the geatest.

You are gonna be surprised how easy a pistol they are to work on

Don't fall asleep.  Apparently this is frowned upon.  It's stupidly easy.  `

You will leave with a cool Manual, glock takedown tool, & orange back plate for inspection check.

Have fun.  You'll only be a few miles from where my second, and final, ex-wife lives.  ;)   Glocks are so simple to work on, I can't imagine sitting through such a class, unless my employment required it.

It's not at Smyrna. Through a local PD. I'm doing it to supplement my firearms instructor status.

It's a good class. Keep all firearms such as off duty firearms and concealed firearms in the car. They will make you put it back in the truck... Trying to save you a trip. Also, bring some cash... They sell some glock lights and a boyonet for a glock which i thought was pretty cool.

I'm attending one in March also, should be fun.  I'm assuming the lunch consists of a roast beef sandwich and a 0.25 bag of fritos

Pretty good course. It all makes sense now.

Great class, yep weapons/ammo need to be out of the room.  Glock hats, pads, DVD of the class for sale, worth it.  

Watch cups and springs go flying across the room ;)  

The final is break it down completely and put it back together, but that time you will have done it 6-10 times.

I didn't buy anything.  I got my inspection plate and take down tool.

Yeah, the cups were flying as well as a few springs. The instructor literally threw a Glock across the room. Landed on the cheap ass carpet over concrete. Quite interesting.

we had one officer, something went flying every time she started detail stripping
the hats are a nice buy, about $10 each.

Where do they usually hold these courses at? Anywhere besides Police Stations?

Or is this just a LEO/mil thing?

I don't yet own any Glocks, but when I do get one (or some) it might be nice to take the Armorer's course.

I'd like to take a 1911 one too.

LEO/MIL qualify to go, otherwise join GSSF for the easier route for civilians to go.  If a local funstore or range wants to sponsor a course, they can get a free slot.
