Comments from Montgomery Miller:

Several years ago, I was the recipient of the Jeff Cooper Legacy Scholarship, and in June 2026, I was able to attend the Gunsite 250 course. 

 
For years, I had heard outstanding things about the quality of training offered by Gunsite and had been very interested in attending. My experience did not disappoint. I can confidently say it was one of the most productive five-day training experiences I have had the pleasure of attending. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, and the curriculum was presented with a level of precision and professionalism that made clear it had been refined down to an exact science.
 
In addition to refreshing some rusty skills, I learned a great deal and, most importantly, had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend Gunsite’s 250 Pistol class to anyone interested in refining their skill set – both professionals and novices.
 
I am immensely thankful to the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation for providing me the opportunity to attend. It means a great deal when people give back in this way, and I hope you know how genuinely appreciative I am for the opportunity.

During the Korean War Jeff became involved with the training of Nationalist Chinese irregulars, some of whom were rather small and a bit intimidated at the thought of using a 45-caliber machine pistol. Here he demonstrates that two M-3 “Grease-Guns”
can be managed quite easily at once — with fair effectiveness at short range.
(Some may note that at that time Jeff had not yet promulgated Rule III.) #greasegun

Random Quote:

“‘Heroism’ is not the same as coping. A man who does his job properly and succeeds through his own efforts is definitely to be commended, but he is not a hero in the classic sense until he deliberately lays his life on the line for a cause he deems to be greater than himself.”
