USCCA Pistol Instructor

COST:       $195.00
Time:        8 hours

This is a “By Appointment Only” class with a minimum of 3 people required per class. Sign up and we will contact you to set up a time.

Purpose: Ladies Only Basic Pistol is for the individual woman who has never shot a pistol or who has some fear and intimidation or very little experience in shooting, but desires to learn or perfect their skill level.  If you’re really hesitant, bring your female friend with you and the both of you can come and learn to master the pistol instead of it mastering you.

Course: Learning the fundamentals: SAFETY, grip, sighting, breathing, trigger squeeze; types of pistols: revolver, semi-auto; loading unloading; various ammunition; holsters inside & outside the waistband, pocket, and a whole lot more.  This course will be approximately eight (8) hours long.

First 2.5 – 3 hours are lecture.  We will then go to the Palm Springs Gun Range in Thousand Palms for the live fire course.

Equipment needed:

• A pistol in good working order. For a first time shooter, I highly recommend a .22, .380, 9mm or .38 caliber for starting out.
• Minimum of 250 factory rounds. NO RELOADS!
• Note pad & pen

Required Gear for the Range:

• At least two magazines or two speed loaders if using a revolver

• No low cut top, tops with an open midriff, no cleavage showing or going braless.
