PISTOL PERMIT COURSE
The High Caliber Services pistol permit class is designed for all experience levels. This comprehensive course is approved by the Erie County Pistol Licensing office and meets all New York State Police requirements. The classroom is a relaxed and welcoming environment where questions and discussion are encouraged. As always, safety and good training are my top priorities.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The 16 hour classroom portion is held in two, 8 hour sessions. We take several short breaks, as well as 1 hour for lunch. Water and coffee are provided on site. There are several restaurants nearby for lunch including Carbone’s Pizzeria, Undergrounds Coffee Shop, Tim Horton’s, and Gene McCcarthy’s.
Students will receive everything necessary for class. It is recommended to bring a drink and a snack, if desired. The class includes a written examination, practical application portion, and live-fire qualification. The live-fire qualification will be scheduled individually at one of two local firing ranges. Attendance at both classroom sessions, a score of 80% on the written examination and a successful live-fire qualification are all required to receive an Erie County Completion certificate.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LIVE-FIRE QUALIFICATION DOES NOT TAKE PLACE DURING THE CLASS. YOU WILL SCHEDULE YOUR QUALIFICATION WITH ME FOR A LATER DATE OF YOUR CHOOSING.
The High Caliber Services pistol permit class is the most affordable in Erie County.

16 hours of expert-level classroom instruction, complete with hands on demonstration and learning aids.

Live-fire coaching.

Assistance throughout the entire application and purchase process.

REVIEWS

“I had the pleasure of attending the pistol permit course April 6-7. Brendan is incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and made the information and legal jargon clear and easy to understand. His patience, willingness and enthusiasm to work with people, no matter their level of firearm experience was evident. His involvement in the process doesn’t end there. He will answer your questions and assist as much as he can until you have your permit in hand. I would highly recommend and encourage anyone interested in pursuing their pistol permit to allow Brendan to be their instructor.”

“This was a great course with so much information to be learned. Brendan makes the class fun and keeps you engaged while offering up his extensive knowledge on firearms. I would highly recommend this course for anybody, whether you have a lot of firearms experience or none at all. He helps with everything required to get a concealed carry permit from firearm safety to the application process. Overall it is a great course with a lot of information to learn for anyone interested.”
