The following information will tell you what to expect at the class and what you will need to bring.
Please bring your government issued photo ID, IE: Driver’s License.

Handling malfunctions with one hand. Reloading with one hand and shooting from cover. You’ll be shooting from close contact to 50 yards, from kneeling and prone if you are able.
Firearm, Equipment and Ammo Requirements:
Holsters must be on the belt, OWB, correctly fitted to the weapon, completely covering the trigger guard and remain open when the weapon is removed, not allowing the weapon to cover the shooter’s body. You must be able to remove your weapon from your holster using one hand, not two hands. Cross-draw, shoulder holsters or ankle holsters are not allowed. It would be a good idea to bring a backup gun and holster, in case yours fails. Your sights cannot be plastic on your gun. These drills will break plastic sights.
A minimum of three magazines and two single or one double magazine pouch worn on the belt on the side opposite the handgun are required. Speed loader holders for revolvers can be worn on your belt in the front. AR Pistols are not allowed. If you are shooting a single stack or a low-capacity semi-auto, you will need more magazines. Please do not come with what I call the “Ghetto mag”, holding 30-50 rounds. Bring the mags that you would carry on the street. IE: standard out of the box magazines. You are training for a bad encounter on the street. You will need a flashlight mounted to your gun or a handheld flashlight operated by a rear button NOT to exceed 500 lumens. The weapon mounted flashlight must fit in the holster.
Electronic hearing protection is mandatory. You need to be able to hear the range master and instructors with your hearing protection on.
A sturdy belt, hat with brim, IE: baseball hat, wrap-around impact resistant eye protection, pants with pockets (cargo pants), comfortable shoes or boots, etc., no flip-flops. Don’t wear a low-cut shirt or blouse because hot brass will be flying around. A dump pouch and shooting gloves are recommended. Knee pads are recommended. You are not required to shoot from cover. If you have a CCW that is honored in Nevada and you wish to shoot from cover that is fine.
We also recommend sunscreen, electrolyte drinks, we will have water. Bring a sack lunch for a short lunch break.
Ammunition Requirements: 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 mag, .380. Estimated round count 600 rounds. Bring 1000 rounds and you’ll go home with some or we will store it for you to attend the next class if you’re from out of town.
