Firearm – Preferably semi-automatic, .380 caliber or larger recommended. Ultra small subcompacts are not recommended. A second or back up firearm is recommended in the event of a malfunction or breakdown that can not be quickly repaired. If the second gun is of a different caliber, bring the appropriate amount and type of ammunition.
Holster – One that is stiff and remains open when gun is deployed, without cover flaps or thumb breaks, aids in re-holstering (Kydex works well). No shoulder, cross-draw, or small-of-the-back holsters.
Magazine Pouch – Double preferred, open top, without cover flaps
Spare Magazines – A minimum of two for the gun you are using (three total), more if possible
Ammunition – At least 300 rounds of new ball/practice ammunition (no reloads). Confirm it is the correct caliber and compatible with your firearm. High Performance or Hollow Point is not needed.
