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.

☐ Pistol and strong side outside-the-waistband or inside-the-waistband holster at 3 or 4 o’clock or appendix holster. Holster must completely cover the trigger guard and be stiff enough to re-holster the firearm with one hand. No cross draw or shoulder holsters. 

☐ Bring a jacket, shirt or vest for concealment of your firearm.

☐ 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.)

☐ Magazine/ammunition pouch and 3 magazines for your firearm. Remember to bring eye protection and hearing protection (electronic preferred). "

☐ Please bring your own lunch, snacks, and water or beverage of choice (no alcohol). Lastly, have a good attitude and an open mind.

Service caliber pistols are preferable including .380, .357 sig, 9mm, 10mm, .40 and .45 caliber. No .22 or .50 caliber pistols or revolvers.

Long pants, boots or tennis shoes (closed toe), crew neck shirt (no tank top or v-neck shirts). Hot brass down the shirt is a big bummer. Ball cap. Clothing appropriate for the weather as it can be +/- 10 degrees different from Boise/Meridian in the desert. And most important is a concealment jacket, shirt, or vest.

Rental pistol and holster in 9mm or .380 is available for $10. 9mm and .380 ammo available for purchase at current prices. Contact the instructor with questions or for rental.
