Equipment Recommendations for Level 2 Class:
Firearm: Your firearm needs to be large enough for a proper two hand grip. The caliber should be large enough to provide some felt recoil as the concepts of ‘driving the gun’ will be a main focus of the class.
We will also be working on gun presentation (draws) and speed reloads.
A compact frame gun is not effective for learning these skills.
Please bring at least a mid size, preferably a full size, framed firearm to the class.
All drills can be performed with a semi-auto or a double action revolver. Magazines: The more magazines (or revolver speed loaders) you bring the less time you will spend reloading magazines.
It will work best to have a minimum of 3 magazines per student for the class.
You need to also have at least a single magazine belt holder and preferably two spare mags available from belt holder.
Holster: You must use a belt holster positioned on your dominant hand side.
Shoulder, cross draw, and fanny pack type holsters will not be allowed.
Holster must cover the trigger guard along with securely and safely holding your firearm.
Holster has to be rigid enough to allow for one hand draw and reholstering.
Your gear for the class should be consistent with your shooting interests. Our Instructors use and recommends the following brands:

 Competition - CR Speed, Blade-Tech
 Tactical - Safariland
 Concealed Carry – Cross Breed Holsters
 General Range Gear / Kydex - Blade-Tech
If you are purchasing gear we are available to discuss specific recommendations to include our preferred distributors.
