    Hi Guys,

    As some of you know I am in the market for a G17, but do not have one YET...

    I am itching to develop some pistol skills, do you think it a) possible to join the JDPC b) worthwhile?

    Is someone here (who is taking part) kind enough to let me "borrow" their pistol to shoot with?

    What do you think guys?

    go to guthries shooting range in Midrand. I think they can allow you to rent a gun to shoot under supervision at the range. Or at least it says so on their site.

    Just a thought

    Get some training with one of the providers on GS - they should be able to provide a gun to train with. Then buy yourself an airsoft gun to hone ur skills.

    At first glance you cannot tell the difference between an airsoft and a real gun. You can get ones which shoot plastic BBs or small paintballs.

    The better ones have metal parts, weigh almost the same as real guns and have a slide kickback like real guns. You can practice drawing and firing, shooting on the move, shooting multiple targets etc. Much cheaper than buying ammo for a real gun.

    They are so realistic that they are used for IPSC comps in some countries
