All Women’s Handgun
Class Overview
Our All Women’s Defensive Handgun class is made up of two portions:
1. ONLINE LECTURE: A 4-hour lecture conducted online using Zoom that covers Use of Force, situational awareness, setting up a saferoom, safe storage and transporting of firearms and much more. We ask that students attend this online lecture BEFORE attending the shooting portion of class.
2. SHOOTING DAY: An 7-hour in-person training day held at our private outdoor range. This is the “hands on” portion of class and will get you up to speed with firearms safety and proficiency with a handgun.
Subjects
This course is designed for both brand new shooters and those with minimal experience. It covers situational awareness and how to keep from becoming a victim by simple precautionary measures, firearms safety, loading and unloading the pistol, drawing from the holster, manipulation, marksmanship, shooting both paper and steel targets and shooting to distance.
Equipment
- Cleaned and oiled pistol at least 9mm in caliber.*
- Three magazines
- Sturdy nylon or leather belt that fits through your pant’s belt loop
- Holster (magazine pouch is optional but recommended)

*Rental firearms are available for every class we offer, but we do need to know ahead of time in order to have one ready for you. Please make sure to indicate your need to rent a firearm when you sign up for a class.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We have firearms available to rent for all of our classes, even precision rifles for our sniper classes. When you rent from us you will receive a full rental package that includes: the firearm, all necessary associated equipment (ear and eye protection, a holster and magazine pouch, etc.) as well as ammunition for your training.
Single-action, double-action or striker-fired semi-automatic handguns are best for our classes. With a few exceptions here and there, the most common calibers are 9mm, .40 and .45. Occasionally a student may bring a .380 or 10mm to class and that’s fine with us too. However, .22 is not appropriate for our training.
Unless you are already fairly proficient with a revolver (loading, unloading, speed reloading, etc.), they are not ideal for our standard handgun classes. Almost all of our handgun classes teach to semi-automatic handguns. With that said, we do offer a Revolver Class once or twice per year and we can also teach Private Lessons with revolvers.
Yes you can and we don’t charge for them. With that said, if you own a handgun we highly recommend buying your own holster and mag pouch if you are going to commit to training long term. For Handgun I it’s not a big deal to use ours, but starting with Handgun II and on, we really prefer students use their own gear because it will be better suited to them and specific to their firearm.
A great local shop in Los Angeles to check out for any of your “soft gear” (accessories) needs is Tactical Pro Shop in Burbank (link to tactical pro shop website) – make sure to tell them we sent you and you’ll receive a discount! Most traditional gun stores in Los Angeles don’t carry such a wide variety of accessories, so other than visiting Tactical Pro Shop your next best option would be to order something online.
We don’t sell ammunition to those who are bringing their own firearm to class, they will need to supply their own. If you need help figuring out where to purchase ammunition, check out our Industry Partners!
We only provide ammunition to students who are renting firearms from us for the sole purpose of training.
