San Francisco PD/SO CCW

Some things to help you prepare for class

When Can You Train

You should not get training from an approved vendor until after you have been notified by San Francisco PD or SO that your CCW application has been approved. Once you have been approved make sure you get training from an approved CCW vendor. Gun Kraft is an approved San Francisco PD and SO CCW vendor.

Class Location and Times

Classes are taught at San Leandro Rifle & Pistol Range at 3001 Davis St. The range opens at 9am but please be outside the front gate by 8:50am. Parking is limited so I will let students in early to double-park in the far left corner of the parking lot to leave more room for regular patrons.

Saturday starts in the classroom from 9am-12pm, then a one hour break for lunch, followed by range instruction from 1-6pm. Please bring a bag lunch to Sunday classes. The range closes at 5pm so we will have a working lunch.

Allowed Pistols and Modifications

You may have up to three firearms on your permit. San Francisco PD allows any legal modifications you want to your firearm.

Range Qualification

Holsters draw is part of the qualification. Buy a simple OWB holster like the Safariland 578 GLS or Bladetech Signature OWB Holster with adjustable paddle holster attachment accessory. Holsters that do not attach to your belt, are positioned behind the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock position, or of cheap quality that makes them unsafe are not allowed for safety reasons. IWB holsters are allowed but must be stiff enough that they do not flex/collapse while wearing when empty. If your holster has a thumb break most likely it won't be allowed.

Applicants must qualify with each firearm they intend to list on their CCW permit. Passing score is 80% (20 of 25 rounds) inside an IDPA size silhouette. You have two attempts to pass. Private coaching is available if you have difficulty meeting the requirements.

What to Bring, Saturday (New applicants)

• The pistol(s) you will list on your CCW (up to three) and four magazines per pistol. Why at least four? After class you should have two loaded with your defensive rounds and at least two for practice.
• 50 rounds per pistol for qual plus 300 rounds for training. (Ex: If you have two pistols of the same caliber that is 400 rounds total. If they are different calibers then 50 rounds for one and 350 rounds for the other.)
• Eye/ear protection. We use earbud radio receivers on the range, so over the ear muffs are recommended. However you can use in-ear protection if you prefer and forego the receiver.
• Gov't issued ID (eg. driver's license)
• Snacks and drinks. We will break for lunch.
