The Firing Pin

The course fee of $275 covers all necessities, including firearm rental, ammunition, protective gear, targets, and lunch on both days.

Due to the recent Concealed Carry Improvement Act initiated by Governor Hochul, new pistol permit applicants in New York must complete a 16-hour training course, and 2 hours of live-fire as mandated by the NYDCJS. Our training spans over a weekend, 9 hours each day, and concludes with a range session on Sunday. Attendance on both days and passing the written exam are essential for course credit. The fee includes all materials and lunch, with the understanding that it is non-refundable and must be paid in advance for registration.

The course is tailored for new pistol permit seekers and is led by seasoned NRA and USCCA-certified instructors. You do not need to take this course if you already hold an NYS pistol permit. Applicants must not be a prohibited person in regards to firearm ownership (I.E., you cannot be a felon, be convicted of domestic violence, etc.)

The curriculum encompasses firearm safety, maintenance, legal knowledge, and practical skills. Failure to pass the written test or demonstrate safe firearm handling will result in not passing the course. Students are required to bring a sturdy belt for holster training.

Our dynamic classroom environment includes regular breaks and the flexibility to move about. For a comprehensive overview of requirements, visit www.troopers.ny.gov. The course includes the NRA basic pistol course, which, upon completion, provides a certificate applicable for additional training or permits.

Classes run from 9 AM to 6 PM with an on-site lunch provided by The Firing Pin, LLC. Dietary restrictions may require you to bring your own lunch. During lunch, instructors will continue with a light presentation to cover the material fully.

Handguns in .22 caliber and corresponding ammunition for specific training segments will be provided without extra costs.

Upon successful completion, participants will receive a certificate for their New York pistol permit application and an NRA First Steps pistol completion certificate. Prospective students should be prepared for an intensive learning experience and are encouraged to have all queries addressed before signing up.
