gotcha. luckily enough theres at least one guy I know who has been kind enough to impart drawstroke knowledge. but as you said, that didn't happen in my chp class, training would be a stretch. I think some chp instructors would agree. merely a platform for more learning I guess.

Hopefully your CHP instructor explained that merely taking a CHP class doesn't remotely prepare one to carry a loaded weapon in public.
You should look seriously into taking a defensive handgun class. There are several world class instructors within ~ 5-6 hours driving distance of Baton Rouge, some of whom travel to Baton Rouge on occasion and conduct training classes.
my chp instructor stressed that with every breath. I have had some other instruction but I look forward to more. Always looking for a student discount or
gomez's awesome freebie classes.
and I practice everyday

sweet dude I just read this and I turned mine in a day after yours so I went and checked the mail. Mine came today too! woot. Two 21 years old in one day.
Yea im looking at a .38 as well probably will be a S&W 642 or 442 and I want a springfield emp in 9mm too eventually. But right now im trying to fund a silencer that that will have to wait awhile. Dont know if I trust the .380 that much but the LCP is really small and light should be very nice to carry on the days im at work climbing in and out of attics.
Yep my LCP is going to be a BUG to during winter when im wearing heavir clothing. I have no way to conceal it during the summer though most of the time in my line of work. The .38 would defiantly print more but it has it advantages as well.
Thanks it will be my first class III item, cant wait.
A++
Summary: Got holster from RM holsters and belt. Both awesome. Very happy with the entire process and am carrying by my estimated date! Looking forward to more training, shooting, and learning
Got my holsters from Jeff at RM holsters yesterday. AWESOME! I was thoroughly impressed at the craftsmanship and pride put into my holsters. Having never had an IWB holster before I don't have basis for comparison but I can say that I will not be looking for another holster any time soon. I also received a bedside holster which is awesome as well. Both holsters are easy to draw from, sturdy, and offer perfect retention - just like flipping a light switch.
The only issue is that because of my daily schedule, I often enter "fairy tale" zones. The empty holster is a bit uncomfortable to wear. I fidget with it to try to find a comfortable position while sitting, but again, only when its empty. This could be attributed to my physique
Will post future experiences with RM holster
Also, Baton Rouge Police Supply was a great place to shop. Very helpful and insightful. I decide to buy a 5.11 belt there instead of fussing with buying a wilderness instructor online as I always end up having to return things for a different size. So for a few bucks less, I got the belt form BRPS and am very happy with it. Don't know why, but the belt seems bigger than in the store and the excess ends up right under my holster(@3:15) and the velcro is almost maxed out. This makes for a loose belt when gunless. I'll give it a few more days and I may downgrade a size.
