MAG-20 is a two-day, 20-hour immersion course in the use of the defensive handgun under extreme stress. Draw from concealment, two-handed stances, shooting from cover, one-handed stances with either hand, speed reloading, and more are taught with an overall emphasis on fast, accurate shot placement. The course will culminate with a police-style qualification course. Estimated ammo count: 500 rounds.

Where: Cache Valley Public Shooting Range, 2851 W 200 N, Logan, UT 84321

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of firearms safety and one of the following—

• Police or Military ID

• Concealed Carry Permit

• Federal Firearms License (FFL)

• Background Check completed by local or state police

What to bring to class:

• Quality handgun, suitable for self-protection and/or concealed carry. (Remember, you will be firing approximately 500 rounds. Ultra-lightweight firearms, though suitable for concealed carry, are not a good choice for this class. If you have any questions about the suitability of your gun, please contact us. It is a good idea to bring a spare gun, if you have one, in case your primary gun breaks. It happens more than you think!)

• Quality holster. (Again, contact us if you have questions.)

• 3+ magazines or speed loaders for your handgun.

• Magazine pouch/holder for 2+ of your spare magazines or speed loaders.

• Sturdy belt.

• Hearing protection. (Electronic is best.)

• Eye protection.

• Billed cap or other brimmed hat. (No red, please.)

• 500+ rounds of decent quality, reliable ammunition. Range ammunition (FMJ, etc.) is fine. You do not need to use premium self defense ammo for this course.

• Clothing suitable for the weather (rain, shine, mud, etc.) and the range.

• Rain gear and sweatshirt.

• Note taking materials (paper/pen, laptop, or tablet; NO audio or video recording is allowed) You will need to take LOTS of notes— we’ll explain why when you get here.

• Firearm cleaning supplies/tools/lubricants.

• Flashlight.
