Practical details about the standard pistol class, training preparation, equipment, location, and session options.
Who is this pistol training for?

How long is the pistol class?
The standard pistol class is approximately three hours. The instructor will confirm the exact duration when scheduling your private or group session.
What should I bring to the range?
The standard equipment list includes a full-size or compact semi-automatic pistol, three magazines, a belt-mounted holster, magazine pouches, eye and ear protection, and approximately 250 rounds of ammunition. The instructor will confirm the final requirements for your specific session before training.
Where does the training take place?
Training is based in the Westhampton area of Suffolk County, New York, on Long Island. The instructor will provide the exact range location, arrival instructions, and session details when your training is scheduled.
