If anyone gets a chance, I highly recommend the patrol Carbine class from G.C.C. Really having a good time with it so far. round count for today was a little over 500 rounds. Great class for a great price. |

Quoted: +1; I've had great experiences with all the gun classes at GCC. Done the carbine class a couple times, but I think the last one was a couple years ago. I'll definitely try to catch the next one.If anyone gets a chance, I highly recommend the patrol Carbine class from G.C.C. Really having a good time with it so far. round count for today was a little over 500 rounds. Great class for a great price. And I agree with Markm; I don't think I've ever gone through 500 in one day there. Is your class pretty small with experienced shooters? Those are the classes that can really move!! |

I may have been shooting a little more.......but I went through 8 loaded mags twice......what can I say, shooting the 9mm suppressed SBR was fun. I know a couple of the other guys went through as much as I did. The next time, think I'll use 5.56 and the ACOG. The class only had 6 people in it. most of them were experienced with shooting their rifle. we shot somewhere between 300 and 400 hundred rounds today.....the single head shots conserve ammo. Gonna try and do the class again in spring. |

The classes are part of the Admin of Justice program at Glendale C.C.....you do not have to be majoring in the program to take the classes.
link to search for classes at GCC choose the "more search options" at the bottom. under the Misc. Search options use the Misc subject drop down menu and choose Admin of Justice program and it will bring up all the classes for the semester you pick. Scroll down and you will see the various classes. this one was the Patrol Rifle Concepts. I have also done the Precision rifle concepts a couple times. I have done a CCW class through GCC and the firearms II class. There are 2 handgun classes coming up, one in november, and one in december. I have had Branham and Catalano as instructors for the handgun classes. great teachers. the rifle and carbine classes are usually just once a semester. how much you shoot and what you do can be dependent on the size of the class and the experience level of the people in the class....but for $106 ($71 for the 1hr credit class and $35 lab fee), it is a great class for the price. |

Two full days of training for that price is a bargain!!!!
I hope to do it again. We had a great bunch of students in the class. It was a really good experience. This class last April was more basics oriented - which was really good for me. This time more movement and team concepts. A lot more fun, and eye-opening. Knee pads - yes...I can't believe I brought along elbow pads and kept forgetting to put them on. doh 
High round count....good. 
Sore and out of shape body....bad

Sore and out of shape body....bad I really wish I had been there for this one. I'll do what I can to make it to the spring one, but like everyone else, money's tight and I need to update some things for my AR before running it in a class. And guys, I truly mean it when I say this, I took a 5 day Front Sight handgun class (for free, a friend hooked me up), and it was nowhere near as good as the GCC 2 day Firearms II class. I'm not even kidding. And they normally charge $2000 for that class! I can't say enough good things about the GCC program. I've had instruction from Branham, Catalano, and Lori (can't remember her last name) and they are all top-notch. First carbine class I took through there (probably 5 or 6 years ago) was with Bill Jeans, and the last time was with Phil a year or two ago. We should try to put up reminders on this board everytime a Firearms II or carbine or precision rifle class comes up through GCC. I take Firearms II at least one a year, often twice. |
