So, the time has finally come.
You are going to sign up for your first concealed carry weapons (CCW) class.
Whatever reasons might have brought you to registering for your first CCW class, I congratulate you!
Understanding the firearm you will be using, like this Springfield Armory XD-S Mod.2 9mm, as well as all the related parts is key to getting the most out of your first CCW class.
This is simply not the case.
There are people of all skill levels who commit to attending a CCW class.
This potentially could be from your knees, leaning around a corner, or other peculiar positions.
If you went out and bought a firearm like thisSpringfield Armory Hellcatin anticipation of your 1st CCW class, make sure you are familiar with all of the contents the firearm comes with.
Supreme accuracy is not paramount, but handling your chosen firearm safely in odd positions and under duressisimportant.
Some instructors will offer to lend students a handgun who do not own a firearm for the class.
That is something the instructor is specifically there for.
Learning how to field strip your firearm for maintenance, loading a magazine and understanding all of the features of your pistol are essential.
Feel free to ask questions.
Get a restful nights sleep beforehand, take notes, ask questions and be a sponge for knowledge.
If you carry a firearm, like this Springfield Armory 911 pistol, you should be adept at carrying it safely and employing it effectively.
Select the right gun. Do you want a large pistol like this XD-M Elite Tactical OSP, or something smaller like the Hellcat?
Once you have your CCW skills down and have selected all your daily carry gear, you’ll be ready to join the world of CCW.
