Space is still available for next weekend’s 1-day Speed Kills class in Culpeper, Virginia (10-July).
Speed Kills focusses on pushing the balance between speed and accuracy by forcing students to engage low-probability targets — distant targets, small targets, obscured targets — under severe time pressure. If the need arose and you had to take that critical shot, would you have the skill, and confidence, to do it?
You can read some reviews of the last Speed Kills at M4Carbine.net.

After clicking through the link, it said something about not using Serpa holsters. What is the reason for this? Please excuse my ignorance …
Where is that index finger pushing once the gun clears the holster?
Multiple LE agencies forbid the SERPA on- or off-duty becau SE they’ve proven to be far more prone to accidents than other designs. As MichaelH alluded to, your trigger finger is pressing inward towards the general direction of the trigger. Enough people have had “general direction of” become “onto” that I discourage their use in class.
Thanks guys, very informative 🙂
What holster do you recommend for the person who has never had a holster and is in the learning phase?
Jon – If you are planning to take a class to learn proper and safe technique, my advice is to contact the instructor and get his advise. Even though you may not get the “best” holster this way, you will have something that is workable and familiar to the instructor.
For a cheap range-only holster that will be easy to learn with, it’s hard to beat an Unclw Mike’s kydex belt holster.
“Where is that index finger pushing once the gun clears the holster?”
The pad of my finger, along with the rest of it, is indexed on the frame when it clears the holster.
If yours isn’t, stop pushing on it with the tip of your finger and it will stop going straight to the trigger.
It’s amazing how well things like that work when you use them properly.
