If you are unable to get any of these items beforehand, or would like us to help you obtain these items for the class we would be happy to help! We have rental guns available to use in class if needed. Let us know in advance so that we can work out details and pricing for those items. After you sign up you will be able to download a document with further instructions and location.
***Instructor's note: We highly suggest that you do not bring a .22 pistol to class; it hasn't provided the best experience for our students in the past. If you choose to bring a .22 and you encounter any problems you will be asked to finish the course with a firearm provided by LDI, for the remainder of the class, as well as purchase the remaining amount of ammunition required to finish the class. If you choose not to continue you will forfeit your class-no refund. If you are unsure of which firearm to purchase, please contact us for guidance based on your personal situation. We also offer Pistol Experience course which is a great opportunity to shoot multiple firearms before making a decision on what firearm you want to purchase.
