Basic Pistol Safety Certification:

All instructors are NRA certified. This course deals primarily with the two types of pistols in most common use today: the revolver and the semi automatic.

Certification includes:

Functions of the Revolver and Semi Auto

Firearm safety

Learning about different types of ammunition

Different types of ammunition malfunctions

Learn the fundamentals of shooting

Learning how to load and unload both a Revolver and a Semi Auto pistol

Proper stance and grip

Firearm maintenance and cleaning

Dry Fire practice

This course and certification are mandatory for pistol permits in most New York counties. Due to the fact that New York law only permits a person to handle a handgun if they have a New York pistol permit, we highly encourage students to complete the Live Fire course once they have received their New York pistol permit.

New York City does not require completion of this course to obtain a New York City Pistol Permit. However, we strongly recommend any applicant applying for a pistol permit completes this course for basic knowledge and safety reasons.
