Holster Practice
GAT Guns Training Group is bringing you a chance to practice holster drawing on our indoor range. You will get to practice live fire holster draw and hone the skills you learned in our holster courses.
With Illinois Concealed Carry in full swing, it is crucial that you have a chance to practice and become proficient at safely drawing, firing and securing your firearm.
The prerequisites are that you have taken the Safe Side Tactical Practical Concealed Carry Course or Defensive Pistol 1 Course at GAT GUNS. Current law enforcement officers are also eligible. We are sorry, but the courses must have been taught at GAT GUNS by Safe Side Tactical Instructors. You must show a certificate of completion.
At this time, we will not allow shoulder holsters, ankle, or cross draw holsters. We will also not allow any type of holster or firearm that is deemed by our staff to be unsafe.
