Learn how to make firearms ready in a hurry, engage many targets, survive an ambush, and develop home safety plans.  Includes shoot/no shoot drills, carjacking simulation, shooting from a vehicle, fighting while injured, and drawing from concealment.

 

You will need:

 

• Reliable semi-auto, with at least 3 magazines--more if single stack magazines

• Belt or "paddle" holster (Blackhawk "Serpa" and similar holsters prohibited!)

• Sturdy belt--preferably 1 1/2" wide

• Double magazine pouch or two single magazine pouches 

• 150 rounds reliable ammunition

• Eye protection and Ear protection (muff type is best)

• Weather appropriate clothing

• Cap, sunscreen, and insect repellant depending on weather and season

• We have put some recommendations of the above items in our recommendations page under "Free Resources"

• If you don't have a pistol and gear yet, just borrow ours for free

 

Notes:

It is unfortunate, but there is a lot of variability in reliability among semi-automatic handguns.  Glock is the "gold standard" in reliability, with the Smith and Wesson M&P line, Sig, and Springfield XD models also having excellent reliability reputations.  Recommendations:  Glock or Smith and Wesson M&P.

 

• For holsters, Safariland offerings are particularly good:  ALS #6378, GLS models, and #5198 are all excellent choices and reasonably priced.

• For magazine pouches, the Safariland model 71 (single pouch) accomodates almost all magazines, and, again, very reasonably priced.

 

• Approximately 8 hours

• Prerequisite:  HANDGUN 2 or permission from the instructor

• Background checks will be done on all registrants.
