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.

DAMN IT JEFF!

Is it too much to ask that you host 1 class that I'm in the country for? Three years and I can't catch a break.

[USMC03]

Have you ever considered "local employment"

[Mick-Boy]

Nah. I'd lose my fill and do something that would get me a visit from your co-workers. I'm safer over here.

As an added benefit to Colorado shooters. Chris is a NRA certified instructor. Most Sheriff's will accept this training for your CCW permit. And you don't have to attend a boring CCW or NRA Basic Pistol Course. Check with your local Sheriff's Office for their requirements
