Pistol Class - RAIN! Suggestions?

[PoorMan]

I'll be attending a pistol class soon and rain is in the forecast. We're shooting rain or shine. Anyone have any experience/suggestions/words of wisdom for shooting in the rain?

And if anyone can recommend a good rain jacket, I'd appreciate that as well.

I just take my hunting rain gear, then I am dry

Suggest Big 5 or Bass Pro Shops or a similar store for the rain gear.

Agree, I use my hunting rain gear and pack my all weather guns..

Worth every penny. You will thank me when done.

I've taken several classes in the rain with that jacket and it has performed much better than the 4 I tried before it (that cost more when added together).

Wow. I'm sure it's great but way over my budget. I'm trying to keep it around $100

I think my current rainsuit I got from the closeout rack at Sportsmans warehouse for about $40. Its been awesome.

get rain coat, doesn't have to be tactical based. get a dedicated raincoat that you can wear over your jacket if need be and have it include a hood too so you don't have to worry about a cold/wet head.

as for when it comes to the gun, make sure to bring a dry towel to wipe it down and clean/oil it right when you get home.

To me, my base layer is more important than my coat. And my shoes/boots and socks when it's an all day rainy class. I'd much rather have a coat that doesn't get in the way of drawing my pistola.

-multiple pairs of socks to change during lunch.
-rainx or anti fog treatment on my glasses or eye pro.
-hand warmers
-pro grip
-separate plastic bags for mags. 1 to clean them in and one to store them in after cleaned.
-snacks that are good in wet weather ie not crackers. for caloric heat and personal comfort.
-shower cap to put over my gun while in my holster and just waiting
-multiple hats so that i am not wearing something wet on my head for 8 hours.

Seems like good practice to train in inclement weather. Have fun.

Gortex if you can find it. When you get wet, you'll get cold, and once you get your fingers cold, shooting loses the fun factor ... unless your class is in Florida or something where it'll be 80 degrees

Have fun!!!
