The Firearm

-Please make sure you fully read and understand these requirements.  -It is critical to your safety and being allowed to participate in the course. 

A compact or full size, semiautomatic centerfire pistol (eg. 380auto, 9mm, 40S&W, 45acp) with barrel length of 4”-6” and holds 13+ round magazines.  We require at least 3 magazines and the kydex pouches on your belt to hold them, with capacity of 13+ rounds at minimum, but suggest bringing at least 4-6 magazines as you may need backup if any fail. This class typically runs up to 1000 rounds or more during the 3 days. Each class is different, and may require additional or unexpected one on one instruction with multiple students which can limit the overall round count. Additionally, those who decide not bring the required or recommended equipment can become a time drain for themselves and the class, reducing the over all training time and round count.

- At this class we do not allow revolvers.

This is not a concealed carry class. 

- So, no subcompacts or micros allowed, eg: Walther PPS, Sig P365, Canik MC9, S&W Shield, etc... These models are too small and get swallowed up in most hands, are difficult to see finger and hand positions, and makes this group of firearms easy to induce malfunctions, and no one wants to be on a line with multiple people dealing with malfunctions throughout the class.

Again, if you have questions about the size of model of firearm you wish to bring please contact us well in advance of the class.

Everything we teach, you will be able train with your own concealed carry firearm of choice. With only slight modifications to the techniques we teach, this can be done dry (unloaded) at the appropriate places you train at, and at your own pace.

Other common centerfire calibers that will work just fine is 10mm, 5.7, no Magnums!  If you are unsure whether your caliber is acceptable, or if you have a special condition or limitation you'd like to talk to us about, please don't hesitate to email us with your question.  No factory or home reloaded ammo allowed.  Please avoid steel and aluminum cased rounds, as these can induce malfunctions in some firearms.

Rentals and/or sales for most Equipment needed are available on an advanced request basis.

Please email us well in advance to check stock and availability of any equip you may need.
