Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Round-Up
Gunsite will be hosting the Pat Rogers Memorial Revolver Round Up again in 2026! The event will be capped at 100 students to ensure a quality training event, so sign up early. This year’s instructor cadre will include Bryan Eastridge, Bruce Cartwright, Wayne Dobbs, Mark Fricke, Dave Dolan, Lew Gosnell, Chuck Haggard, Cecil Burch, Greg Ellifritz, Freddie Blish, and Caleb Giddings. All these instructors have decades of real-world experience running revolvers.
Pat Rogers was a Gunsite graduate and long-time Rangemaster. A legendary instructor, he had deep experience in the USMC, and was a highly decorated NYPD Sergeant. Pat was scheduled to teach at the Revolver Round Up in 2016 in Dallas, TX, but sadly passed away prior to the event. From that point on the event became dedicated to both Pat’s memory and to honor Pat’s dedication to training and the passing on of his knowledge and wisdom.
The event starts Friday night with a social BBQ provided by vendors and supporters. Saturday and Sunday have numerous scheduled classes that students can attend in the morning and afternoon sessions. These classes are structured to provide each instructor’s perspective on various aspects of the strengths and weaknesses in utilizing a revolver as an option for defensive use in the modern world. In addition, a raffle takes place benefitting the Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation during lunch on Monday, in which numerous guns and related gear are raffled.
Lodging information is available on the Gunsite web page: https://www.gunsite.com/about-us/lodging-near-gunsite-academy/
Lunch will be available on-site for $14 or you can bring your lunch.
