  • unloading 

  • slide or cylinder manipulation 

  • proper use of safety devices and operational controls 

 

• Students are expected to handle their firearms in a safe manner as part of the proficiency test. Those who cannot meet these standards will fail the proficiency test and need to retest at later date. Prospective students who have little handgun experience are encouraged to visit the range prior to class or attend the Basics  of Pistol Shooting Class.
