Course Details

Pistols are easy to pick up, but difficult to master, even more so without a solid foundation of skills and techniques. This 6-hour course is designed to accommodate newer pistol shooters and those with little/no formal training, to set them on the right path to becoming safe and effective. Next course date: June 10 In this course we will cover: familiarization and nomenclature, mechanics, handling and safety, ergonomics and marksmanship, maintenance. Please bring the following equipment to class: - Semi-Auto pistol, with 3 serviceable magazines (in a hard sided case, or zip up pouch. NO plastic bags or wraps) - Rigid belt with holster (Kydex drop holster preferred. Leather or Nylon will work. STRONG-SIDE, BELT MOUNTED ONLY. We advise AGAINST Serpa Holsters) - 250 rounds of ball ammunition (no armor piercing or tracer) - Protective eye & ear-wear (plugs and/or muffs are ok. Electronic muffs preferable for hearing commands) - Climate appropriate attire (closed toes shoes, full length pants w/o holes, collarless shirt) - Basic firearms cleaning gear (punch rod with bore brush, all-purpose brush, rag, solvent, oil) This is a low stress hands-on course designed around semi-auto pistols. Revolvers are welcome, but the class is specifically tailored towards modern semi-automatic, magazine-fed pistols (e.g. Glocks, S&W M&Ps, H&Ks, Walthers, CZs, 1911/2011s, Sig P320/P200 series). If you are unsure, please reach out to us. This is a mixed classroom and (outdoor) live-fire course. Pack lunch/water/snacks.
