I will be taking my first class soon in October with Haley Strategic. Handgun One will be the first day, then the next two days will be Carbine One.
I will be shooting my everyday concealed carry weapon throughout the three days. Smith and Wesson M&P 45 Compact. 8 Round Magazines Standard My question is: Should I buy the S&W 14 round magazines to save myself from reloading soo much to enjoy the class more? I'm on the fence about this. On one hand it would be great have almost double the capacity and not have to be reloading constantly. But on the other hand, I want to train with 8 round mags so I get used to having 8 rounds in the gun because that is how I carry. Understand? I'm leaning more towards staying with 8 rd mags.

Would you buy extra long mags if shooting a 1911? Train how you will fight. This was my thinking. Just wanted to see if there were others that used 1911s or other 8 rounds mags in a training class like this. Looks like I'll be ordering a few more 8 rounds mags. |

I agree to train how you fight...just make sure you bring a lula bc you'll be reloading quite a bit. As a side note, I'll be at the same class at the end of October. Are you local in Orlando? If so, what lodging do you recommend? Thanks. Not quite sure on lodging. The area is pretty damn empty. I live about 20 minutes away in Altamonte Springs. Its just a quick blast up I-4 to get to the range. When looking up hotels, look at the range and head west on I-4 and you'll find plenty of hotels. I know hotels off of 436 and I-4 are pretty cheap. |
