Did you notice any correlation among skill, shooter, and hardware?
thanks

I remember seeing lots of Glocks, one USP Expert, and a couple of 1911's (including mine). Rifles ranged from 20 inchers with iron sights like Blake's to an 8.5 inch with an Eotech being used by an SF doc. The choice seemed to have no bearing on the quality of hits.
I used a very simple rig for the course and it worked well. It was a SORD MFF base with TT three mag shingle, admin pouch for pen and paper, and a white light with pouch. I never needed more than three mags for any course of fire, and had more loaded and waiting behind the firing line if I needed them. I took six rifle mags and six pistol mags down with me.
Most people were using some sort of chest rig, although all of the SWAT guys were using plate carriers and I saw one full-blown CIRAS (in multicam, no less
). My understanding is that the plate carriers were for active shooter situations where they could just throw it on over soft armor and live off of what was on the vest.
I was using a belt holster for my 1911, and that is something I'm going to change before the next class. During transition drills, my hand falls naturally to my thigh, so I'm going to try a drop holster.
Also, the Alta Superflex knee pads deserve a big thumbs up. A couple of us had them and they are great. Very little slippage, though I am still going to put some shoe goo on the straps.
