The one most helpful thing you could do to prepare for class is to make sure all your gear works. Make sure your handgun is reliable with the ammo you intend to use and that the ammo hits to point of aim. Be sure your holster fits your pistol correctly and the holster mounts to the belt in a stable fashion. Make sure you can re-holster easily with one hand. Make sure your magazines work. You will need eye pro and electronic hearing protection is STRONGLY recommended.
I suggest bringing a second gun just like your primary, in case something breaks. This way you can still use the same magazines, holster and ammo. Not mandatory, just a suggestion based on experience. If you wear a BUG, feel free to wear it in class.
