Effective Immediately,

After much deliberation and careful consideration, we have decided to make public our updated policy on the use of the SIG P320 pistol in our classes. This policy will be in effect until further notice.

Please don't let this deter you from enrolling in one of our classes. Even if the only handgun you own is a P320, we are ready and able to assist you with loaner gear (firearm and holster) if needed. Please contact us if you need that assistance.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our students and staff simply must be our first priority. Thank you!
