Hardware/Kit

A functional and practical handgun chambered in 9mm, .40 cal, or .45 ACP. If available, a spare weapon system is also an excellent idea. A cleaning kit and tools that are compatible with the weapon system(s) in question is also a must. Each student should have a minimum of 5 working magazines. Sometimes magazines will make it in your dump bag and sometimes they won't. If they hit the ground they can become fouled, causing weapon malfunctions and time off the line.

In terms of holster design, is this class centered around the civilian application of the handgun, where a concealable type holster would be preferred? Or would a tactical holster make more sense ?

Jeff, what holster design are you going to be using in the class?

What would you recommend for straight non LE / non mil taking the class?

Thanks

I recommend the following for just about any class:

Where in class what you would wear in the real world.

I'm a plain clothes Detective and a SWAT Officer. At classes, shooting matches, etc. I wear gear that I use at work. In plain clothes I wear a blade-tech or raven concealment kydex outside the waist band belt holster. I also wear my SWAT holster (a safariland 6004) so I can get training on that platform as well.

If you wear an inside the waist band holster for CCW, wear it in class. A training class is a great venue to learn about yourself as a shooter and the gear that you are carrying. Often times I use matches and classes to test out new gear. In a training class you will quickly learn if the gear you are using works well for you or not.

For concealed carry (which is how I carry 10+ hours a day), I prefer a blade-tech or raven concealment kydex outside the waist band belt holster. Use what works best for you.


Hope this helps.
