About the course
This course is a very comprehensive course including classroom and practical shooting applications. For the shooting portion of the course, we ask that in addition to your firearms, you bring a belt side holster, a magazine pouch fi possible, eye protection, ear protection, spare magazines and a sturdy belt to hold your gear. More info on this is listed below.
It is our belief that a CCW course should include some basic instructions on using your firearm, so we will be teaching these entry level skills. If you have any questions, please call and ask us, as we are very happy to answer questions.
Arrival and Departure
On the day of your course, please arrive promptly by 7:30 a.m. Class begins at 8:00 a.m. Sharp. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE. The training day generally ends at approx. 5:00 p.m.
Please have all of your equipment on EXCEPT FOR FIREARM. That means: Please come dressed with your belt, magazine pouch and holster already on, so we can begin the range portion immediately after classroom time.
If you are unsure of how to put your gear on, we will assist you on the day of class. If you are renting equipment from us, no need to be concerned, we will assist you in getting ready.
UPON ARRIVAL: PLEASE KEEP ALL FIREARMS UNLOADED AND IN A GUN CASE UNTIL THEY ARE INSPECTED BY AN INSTRUCTOR AT REGISTRATION.
Equipment - See images below
We strongly recommends complying with all Federal, State, County, and City Laws regarding transportation of weapons and ammunition. Each student is required to bring a legally-owned weapon in safe operating condition.
▪ Each student must wear ear and eye protection while on or about the firing range.
▪ Holster are mandatory.
Please Note: Blackhawk Serpa Holsters are not recommend for this course. If that is all you have - we will temporarily disable the Serpa Locking Mechanism prior to the class.
Holster types vary though we recommend a Kydex holster as they seem to work very well. All shooting will be done from a holster. Belt side holsters are recommend for basic courses. The holster must secure the weapon, cover the trigger guard and be worn on a waist belt. ABSOLUTELY NO THIGH HOLSTERS, even for advanced handgun students. Top straps and thumb breaks are not required. Inside the belt and open top holsters are fine as long as the weapon is held securely when the shooter is running and moving.
▪ Two -Three magazines minimum for auto-loading pistols with magazine holders worn on the waist belt or two speed loaders for revolvers with appropriate holders are required.
▪ Approx. 100 rounds of factory ammunition. 30 rounds used for Quailifcation and time permitting - some may be used for practice.

How do I transport my firearms on a commercial airliner?
It is very simple. Bring your firearms to the airline ticket counter unloaded with actions open INSIDE a locked firearms case INSIDE your locked luggage. Firearms and ammo must be in separate containers. Handguns must be in a locked hard case. The case containing the handgun must be locked. Long guns (rifle and shotguns) are transported in a hard rifle case with lock. Pelican makes an excellent product that allows a standard padlock to be applied. When you arrive at the ticket counter, tell the agent you want to declare an unloaded firearm. All airlines are a bit different in the form they have you fill out, but most will ask you to open the case and show them that the weapon is unloaded. They will then place a copy of the declaration in your case with the firearm and staple another copy to your ticket jacket. You then lock the firearm case and they will place it on the baggage carrier to be transported to the aircraft. No tag is placed on the outside of the luggage. This was done in the past and encouraged theft. Airlines have since abandoned this practice. When you arrive at your destination, proceed to the Baggage Claim area. Your luggage will arrive with all other passenger luggage on the luggage carousel. If you are transporting a rifle or shotgun in a long gun case, the case may be hand carried, due to size or shape, to your airline’s Baggage Claim Office located in the Baggage Claim area.
What about transporting ammunition?
Transportation of ammunition is allowed by the airlines. However, they have weight and quantity limitations. Each airline sets different limits. Contact your airline to confirm any limitations. We suggest that you contact them at least twice to confirm you are told the same information. When transporting a handgun and ammunition, consider packing as follows: Place the ammunition in the individual boxes of 50 across the bottom of your case, then place your clothes on top of the ammunition, and then place your handgun on top of the clothes. This process visibly and physically separates the ammunition from the handgun. When transporting a long gun, the long gun ammunition can be placed in the same fashion in your luggage case and the long gun is transported in a separate long gun case.
Where do I store my firearms?
Combat Tactical Academy recommends that you keep your firearms in your possession at all times. When transporting weapons in your vehicle, keep firearms unloaded in an inconspicuous case, and locked in your trunk. Similarly, keep firearms unloaded and in an inconspicuous case when transporting from your vehicle to your room. DO NOT DISPLAY YOUR FIREARMS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DO NOT CARRY FIREARMS THROUGH CASINOS. USE PROPER DISCRETION AND COMMON SENSE AT ALL TIMES WHEN TRANSPORTING FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION. DO NOT LEAVE FIREARMS IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM UNATTENDED.
Can I ship my firearms to Combat Tactical Academy?
We cannot accept shipment of your firearms. We recommend that you transport them as described above.
What should I wear for my Firearms course?
All the firearms courses consist of outdoor range activities. Dress comfortably with clothes appropriate for the season. Check the weather forecast for Las Vegas to determine the proper clothing. For courses in winter, we recommend multiple layers (3-4) in addition to a jacket. Jackets may get in the way when working with holsters so you may want to take it off off for certain drills. Sping/Summer/Fall/Wnter classes please bring SUNSCREEN. Warm Hats or beanies. Gloves: Shooting gloves may be worn. We also recommend bringing warm gloves or mittens for time not shooting to stay warm. Neck warmers and thermal undergarments may make your training more comfortable. Wide brimmed hats are popular for sun protection. If rain is forecasted, bring a rain jacket. Loose fitting pants are recommended, but shorts are also acceptable with appropriate knee protection for courses involving braced shooting positions such as kneeling and prone. Comfortable boots are recommended, but athletic shoes are acceptable. In courses teaching concealed carry of a handgun, a lightweight vest is recommended, but lightweight jackets and shirts (both open and closed fronts) are acceptable. Long sleeve shirts and or elbow pads are recommended for long gun courses involving prone position shooting.
