Gear List:
Pistol w/holster (strong side, inside, outside waistband or appendix is fine).
Holsters that collapse (leather, soft, etc.) when drawn will NOT be allowed on our range. NO SERPA HOLSTERS will be allowed on our range. THIS IS WHY!
Please make note that if you show up with any of the above, we will ask you to CHANGE so you can comply with our range rules. If you do not have a back up gun then you can CHANGE to a HK VP9 and a strong side Kydex holster that we will provide free of charge. Ammo not included
You can BORROW a H&K VP9 or VP9Sk and holster from us at NO CHARGE. Please contact me immediately to reserve this H&K 9mm pistol
Concealment garment required. MAY or MAY not work with it.
Don't forget your LockedIn Grip Liquid Shooting Sports Chalk.
This is a holster class for shooters that are "new" to the concept. Student levels will vary so some students may, or may not, use a cover garment....this is up to Brian. Please bring one!
$10 cash range fee
Holster: Appendix? Any loose shirt that fully conceals your firearm can be used as a cover garment
Holster: Hip or strong side? Loose button down shirt OVER a tucked in t-shirt can be used as a cover garment

50 rounds of factory loaded ammunition (we will shoot 25-50 rounds)
