Handgun knowledge—the semi-automatic Ammunition for the semi-automatic Gripping the semi-automatic correctly Loading magazines Loading the semi-automatic (from holster) and racking slide properly Holstering correctly and safely Presentation (draw stroke) from holster Changing magazines (reloading) the semi-automatic (5 types of mag changes) Reholstering correctly and safely Clearing stoppages and malfunctions (4 ways to clear 3 types of malfunctions)

You will need: Reliable semi-auto, with at least 3 magazines--more if single stack magazines (borrow ours if you don't have a gun) 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 in "Resources" under "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 I or permission from the instructor Background checks will be done on all registrants.
