I offer a CCW training course meeting Penal Code 26165 and SB2 stated below:

1. For new license applicants, the course of training for issuance of a new license under Section PC 26165 that meets all of the following criteria:

I do not conduct group classes!

I train one-on-one for a better outcome!

​

I AM APPROVED BY CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SHERIFF, 

and numerous police departments such as Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Palo Alto, Pleasant Hill, Los Altos, and San Leandro.

​

Here is my course for INITIAL:

​

The classroom part will be in my office in Pleasant Hill or I can come to you but a travel expense may be required.  We can use a local range for the live fire requirement. You supply the appropriate firearm(s), 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 by Contra Costa County. For concealed carry Glock 26 or Glock 19 are recommended and no firearms with magazine disconnects, or SIG P320. IF YOU ARE A FIRST RESPONDER, LE, ACTIVE MILITARY OR VETERAN, THERE IS NO COST!

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. Also, semi-autos with external safeties are NOT recommended!
