Here are the two options we offer for INITIAL:

(1) We will come to your home or place of business and conduct the required classroom portion. Then we will use the Richmond Rod & Gun Club to complete the live fire requirement. The complete cost is $350.00pp. You supply the appropriate firearm, ammo, holster, ear and eye protection. Ammunition must be factory fresh, either FMJ or JHP, and no reloads. 9MM 115 Grain is recommended due to lower recoil and better control. No single-action pistols, such as 1911 style, are allowed. For concealed carry Glock 26 or Glock 19 are recommended. Our recommended store is City Arms LLC located in Pleasant Hill near DVC.

 

(2) The same training is available in a group of two or more at a discounted cost of $250.00pp.

Recommendation;

 

It is always better not to mix operating systems on CCW firearms. If you like Glocks, stick with Glocks. If you like Sigs, stick with Sigs. Try to put two firearms on the CCW permit so you always have a backup.
