What to bring everyday:
  • Classroom note taking materials
  • Lunch, snacks, and drinks

What to bring on Range Days:

  • Lunch, snacks, and plenty of water
  • Defensive Pistol other than a Sig P320 ***See note below***
  • Backup gun (optional)
  • If your magazines hold less than 10 rounds, bring 5 magazines. If your magazines hold more than 10 rounds, bring at least 3 magazines.
  • Strong side hip or appendix holster that is made for your specific handgun ONLY (quality kydex, or a similar type where the top of the holster remains open when the gun is drawn). No soft holsters.
  • MINIMUM of 650 rounds practice ammunition (can be provided)
  • Eye and ear protection
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Gear that can withstand rigorous use. We will be spending a lot of time coming out of, and going back to, the holster

***********************

After thoughtful consideration, we are prohibiting all Sig P320 variants in our training classes.

We regret doing this, but as issues continue to be documented by the US Military and the FBI, along with other reliable sources, we feel a responsibility to ensure safety and mitigate liability on this particular platform in our classes until such time the potential issues have been resolved by the manufacturer.

***********************

What to bring for Active Shooter Day:

  • Note taking materials
  • Comfortable clothing: long sleeves, long pants, wear a belt, shoes that allow active movement, and a hoodie or other relatively thick protective clothing (protective headgear provided), gloves - optional
