Basic Pistol Class

Are you new to shooting or owning a pistol? Has it been some time since you last fired a pistol? Are you an experienced shooter looking to review and refine the fundamentals? This class will cover the fundamentals of firearms safety, terminology, operation/handling of the pistol, grip and stance, basic marksmanship, reloading and then a series of drills to build on the basics as noted.

Class requirements are as follows (FIREARMS AND MAGAZINES MUST BE UNLOADED AND IN A CASE PRIOR TO COMING INTO THE CLASS):

• Your personal firearm/pistol with which you want to train. It is preferred to bring a full or compact size, double-stack handgun (ex: Glock, SIG or S&W).
• Sub-compact handguns such as the S&W Shield, Glock 43 or Sig 365 can be used though these pistols may require more frequent reloading.
• A revolver is acceptable, but not ideal.
• If all you have is a micro compact (S&W Bodyguard or Ruger LCP for example) please let the instructor know ahead of time to discuss its use and possible options.
• Minimum of two magazines.
• 100 rounds (you may be more though not necessary) factory ammunition; 9mm or greater caliber preferred though please bring what is going to cycle properly through your pistol.
• Eyeglasses or Protective eyewear
• Ear protection
• Closed-toed, supportive shoes.
• Appropriate clothing for the weather, this will be an outside class, closed-collar shirt or scarf (to prevent hot brass from going down your shirt).
• Note taking material and pen
• Water bottle / drinks and snacks (we will take breaks as needed).

Please note this class will not involve drawing from the holster, drills will be conducted from the bench/table at low ready only. Cost for the class is $25, to offset the cost of targets. This is a CCGCI sponsored shooter education class for club members, non-members can also take the class though the non-member price is $75.00 and paid to Zev Firearms and Tactical Training, LLC. The class fee can be paid online or in person on the day of the class.

Should you have any questions please reach out to me at my personal email krulikken@gmail.com and I look forward to meeting you as well as training with you.

Respectfully,
