If you're looking for the BEST range bag for not a whole lot of $$$, look no further than the Midway Competition Range Bag, regular price is $69.99 but I don't think I've ever not seen them on sale for $39.99 except for when the green bag first came out. This thing has got to be one of the nicest bags I've ever seen. Here's the pics.

A little disgruntled...
So the wife and I have been NRA Certified to instruct in Basic Pistol for almost four years, we're going to get our cert. for the NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside of the Home (PPOH) this spring and we're looking around for "Train the trainer" type classes.
Lets be honest, "NRA Certified Instructor" is almost as non-impressing as a Cracker-Jack diamond ring. I've met good and bad NRA Instructors so you would think there would be available venues for instructor development out there. While there are some, there aren't many that accept non LE/Military personnel. What I've found so far that doesn't require you to be LE/MIL is Range Master in Tn that offers an instructor course and the Sig Academy appears to take us normal fold in their Instructor Development Courses, the Sig Academy is also GI Bill friendly, so it looks like next year we'll be off to NH to increase our skill set. There were one or two others, but they want you to go through "X" amount of their classes before offering an instructor type class, that's cool and makes sense that you want to have some basis of proof that it's not Joe Blow walking into your door wanting to be a trainer, but it would be nice if there were more options to aide in self improvement.

Iowa Permit to Carry Classes, NRA Basic Courses, and Private Instrution
We have ventured in to our own training entity, Central Iowa Defensive Training and are offering the NRA Basic Pistol Course, and two Iowa specific carry classes covering open and concealed carry. We will also be expanding our curriculum this Summer to offer the NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside of the Home and a women's only course covering everything from empty hand to armed defense. We are also providing private instruction for those needing / wanting more specific instruction.
We will still be conducting classes in Traer and hopefully this summer we will also have the Marshall County Izaak Walton League as a hosting venue as well, if that works out well we will make efforts to bring in outside talent such as InSights Training, Suarez Intl., I.C.E. Training, and possibly an Aim Fast Hit Fast series of courses.
We are also able to provide live-fire qualification for permit renewals in accordance with SF2379.
We look forward to serving Marshalltown, Ames, Grundy Center, Waterloo and surrounding areas in providing good quality handgun training at a fair price in our your own back yard.

Came Across a Nickel HK P7 Today....
...And had to have it. It's on lay-a-way (up to a year with no interest) until I can sell another item to ease the transition of coming home with another gun this soon after the arrival of the Nighthawk. Gun comes with two mags and is not marked as the recent re-furbs that hit the market a while ago. Both mags are refinished as well, should make a nice "discreet carry" firearm and I may end up passing the P238 over to the wife as she's been eye-balling it of late.
