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.
