Requirements

Mandatory Equipment:

Please bring a handgun in a caliber larger than .22 (examples: 9mm, .380 ACP, 10mm, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .45 ACP). The firearm should be a typical carry/defensive size (compact or full-size). Do not bring tiny pocket pistols (pocket/subcompact design like the Ruger LCP, Kel-Tec P-3AT, North American Arms mini revolvers, etc.). We will inspect every firearm on arrival and confirm it is safe to use.

Your handgun must be carried in a functional waist-worn holster (outside-the-waistband or inside-the-waistband on the belt). The holster must fully cover the trigger, securely retain the firearm, and allow safe re-holstering. Pocket, ankle, shoulder, purse, or soft/unsecured holsters are NOT acceptable. If you are brand new to shooting, please use a hip carry holster for this class. 

Bring at least 2 -3 magazines (or speed loaders for revolvers if you have them), and factory-loaded ammunition for the caliber you bring — check your registration details for exact ammo needs - (100-150 rounds for a half day class, and 200-250 rounds for full day classes).

If you don’t own a suitable handgun or holster, contact us before class — limited rental options may be available.
