This is NOT a beginner level class. Students must have completed a Pistol Fundamental or Basic course before taking this class. They need to know the universal rules of gun safety and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills and work from a holster.

Students failing to meet the criteria and/or maintain safety requirements may be removed from training. Please ensure you are at an intermediate level before registering. If in doubt, contact the instructor.

• 200 rounds of ammo for your firearm (factory loaded full metal jacket or practice ammo,).

• A sturdy belt (at least 1.5” wide) that allows for the gun/holster to be hung from your strong side. (A half inch fashion belt is not strong enough to support a gun/holster.)
