Currently we offer a pistol course that will meet Hawaii state requirements for purchasing firearms. It is very helpful in learning how to safely handle and operate pistols.
Basic Pistol Course
The Basic Pistol Course is for beginners and Hawaii state residents interested in purchasing pistols. It is good refresher course that teaches modern basic marksmanship techniques. The state of Hawaii requires that all persons seeking a permit to own handguns attend a handgun class. This course will teach you basic knowledge of modern semi auto's and revolvers, firearms safety, basic-intermediate marksmanship skills and maintaining your handgun. All of our instructors are NRA certified with many years of experience and actively compete in IPSC/USPSA matches.

Hardware/Kit
A functional and practical handgun chambered in 9mm, .40 cal, or .45 ACP. If available, a spare weapon system is also an excellent idea. A cleaning kit and tools that are compatible with the weapon system(s) in question is also a must. Each student should have a minimum of 5 working magazines. Sometimes magazines will make it in your dump bag and sometimes they won't. If they hit the ground they can become fouled, causing weapon malfunctions and time off the line.
