We Now Provide Instructor Training for the California Department of Justice Handgun Safety Certificate Program
(Comparable Entity Trainer)
Due to the scarcity of ammunition, we are evaluating all of our course offerings to reduce center fire ammunition round counts and allow the use of .22 LR firearms. We will still require a center fire handgun or rifle for some parts of the class, but will allow the use .22 LR for the majority of training if needed. Unfortunately, all CCW training will be with center fire ammunition unless you are putting a .22LR on your permit. You will need approx 100 rounds for our CCW course of fire.
In our FOTS simulator (see below) we are allowing the use of “Airsoft” guns as an alternative to higher center fire round counts. We will still utilize center fire pistols for portions of the training, but will include “Airsoft” training guns as needed. The use of “Airsoft” guns along with our high air flow ventilation system, allows pregnant women to train in a realistic environment during their pregnancy and keeps skill sets current. We offer a variety of high quality “Airsoft” replica guns for training to include AR, 1911, M&P platforms.
Force Option Training Simulator (FOTS) now available to Civilians!
