    @seano either/both would be great. I ordered a CZ shadow holster but there will be Glocks to use.

    @paulbrady Just email admin at pistol club. Course is 6-7 weeks $10 a time plus ammo. You need your own belt holster etc. I think there is a charge for the final assessment of about $30, but I could be wrong on that.

    Had a good first day of the course. Bit different not shooting at 25m. Learnt heaps. Caught up with @seano after the course and had a go at 3 gun. Great fun. Just need to remember that pump shotguns don't reload themselves!

    Nearly finished the holster course, shot at moving targets today. Did alright in the practice shoot, but when shot in a course of fire only got one hit on the target. Did the safety test today as well. Just over a month left and then my 6 months is up.

    When we started the holster courses in the 1980's (it all began at the Ch-Ch Pistol Club) it was a 1/2 day course and was totally free, the instructors giving their time voluntarily (as indeed did all club committee members and NZPA executive). Isn't progress wonderful!!

    I'm glad mine was totally free. It was pretty rubbish.

    We just had to draw, fire, then replace the gun in the holster a few times without shooting ourselves or anyone else and put a few rounds into a D1 target.

    That was in 1987 or 88.

    Interesting, if you go to the Pistol NZ website it spells out what happens on the holster course and what you have to do to be assessed, seems like each club does what they want

    Holster course

    I did the course again about 15 years ago to make up enough numbers to run one. That time it was much better in course content and the instructor was much more switched on than the first one and really wanted to be there.
