    What about Gerry Gore?

    Gerry and I together with Robbie Barrkman,Carlo Beletti,Charlie Butler,Mervyn Ullman and Herbie Wong all qualified as American Pistol Institute Expert rating with Jeff back in 1976.

    Agreed. I was, and still am to some extent, one of those people. That is why I attended Mark Human's rusty gunman course before my license was approved. It's a basic starter level course but man did it make a huge difference to me. Every first time FA owner should consider doing this course or something similar.

    I am considering attending the South African Training Adventure 2017 Round 2 hosted by Multidimensional Warriors in Cape Town later this year.

    I have a DVD taken from an old 8mm movie I shot of Jeff's demonstration shoot at Leeuwkop Prison Range in 1974. This is where it all started and the shift from Bill Jordan and DA .357 wheelies followed quickly. The movie is grainy but still not too bad,unfortunately ther is no sound track. I will have to get one of my computer whizz buddies to show me how too upload it.

    Have attended training courses by Cornell vdW (beginner pistol), Ross (pistol, CQC - level 1 and Tactical Carbine courses) and 1911 (Fundamentals pistol course)... all have been very good and I have learnt loads from each of them.

    Still trying to get into one of Big T's training courses... thus far the dates just haven't worked out.

    Where can one find more info on BigT or Ross' training courses? I have just done competency and really want to start off with the correct foundations.

    Best would probably be to contact them. Their details should be in their subforums
