Hello

Taking a handgun and carbine course for first time this year

Besides ammo and a gun, eyes and ears, does anyone have anything that made you say man I wish I left that crap at home or man I wish I had that?

One thing I have read is a speed loader for .223, so I am going to grab that to help speed up reloading

But was looking for anything small or large that you thought might make a difference yet isn't a standard item you may or may not bring

Also , what holsters are you seeing for handgun? Your CCW set up or some tactical belt that you are never wearing in public but is useful for classes?


Thanks

I really appreciated having my Maglula loaders, Lula for the AR and an Uplula for the handgun. I know my thumbs appreciated it at the end of the day. You won't regret the purchases at the end of the day. Also, electronic ear muffs were great to have. They enable you to easily hear range commands and instruction while still having your ear pro on. Weather appropriate clothing, sunscreen and insect repellant spray.
