Firearm, Holster and Ammo Requirements:
The firearms must be fully functional, have all factory-installed safety devices intact, and have no dangerous modifications (such as a "hair" trigger less than 4 pounds, removed trigger guard, etc.). "Pocket Pistols" are not allowed due to their very small size and difficulty of use. Holsters must correctly fit the firearm, completely cover the trigger guard, remain open when the firearm is removed, not allow the firearm to cover the shooter`s body, and not have a trigger guard retention device (such as the Blackhawk Serpa model and others). Factory ammunition is required, NO reloads.
