Very cool and sounds like a sweet CC set up & rig. The indoor range is a nice perk - training regardless of weather outdoors always is.

I have shot 50 rounds through my new conceal carry pistol, a Ruger LCP and am not a very good shot. Usually I am a pretty good shot and I attribute the problem to a couple of issues. One is the barrel is only 2.75 inches and the pistol kicks pretty good being it has such a short grip. I think I can learn to shoot it ok if I can see the sights better; Another problem is that I need reading glasses at age 55 and don't want to have to put...

Get a Crimson Trace laser grip sight (LG-431). It's a little spendy (Note: They can be had for much less than the $209 on Crimson Trace's website), but it's absolutely worth it for carrying this gun. In fact, I consider it a necessary accessory for the LCP. Ruger LCP Laser Sight :: Crimson Trace Lasergrips

If you don't want to drop the dough on a laser just get some bright neon fingernail polish. Check in a Sally's beauty supply. Also practice point shooting at 3, 5, and 7yds. You don't need your sights and probably couldn't use them in a bad situation anyway because of the adrenalin dump. If you rely on a laser it could slow down your shooting because you are hunting for the red dot. Just my opinion.. (laser proof suit on!...

I agree with Jes, that a little fingernail polish on the front and rear sights does help a lot. I am over 60 and carry a LCP every day and have the same failing eyesight problems that you mention. I did not have any fingernail polish, so I used some liquid paper on front an rear sights, and it works well and if it wears of takes only a couple minuates to touch them up again. Try it you will like it.

Shoot and practice at practical ranges for this gun (around 10') and you will find that "Point Shooting" works just fine.

This gun was never meant to be sighted. It is a point and shoot, usually fired from a flexed arm in front of the belly at about 7 to 10 feet. I was trained by an FBI firearms instructor with my P-3AT (I am right handed), to hold my left arm at face height to block any physical blows while drawing the 3AT and firing with my right hand about belly height toward center of mass. You have now placed two or three shots into the assailent before he...

Do fill us in on how the course goes once you have gone through it.
