Get to know
your handgun.
If you’ve ever opened your cleaning kit and wondered which piece to reach for, this is a good place to start. Bring your questions and practice with an instructor beside you.
Understand your model
Use your owner’s manual with your instructor to identify the parts you’ll handle during routine cleaning and how they fit back together.
Make sense of your cleaning kit
Get familiar with brushes, patches and lubricant. Learn which supplies suit your model and where residue tends to collect.
Learn what to look for
Practice inspecting parts under supervision. Ask how to recognize ordinary wear and when a concern belongs with a qualified gunsmith.
Pack for the bench.
Cleaning tools and materials are included. If you already have a kit, bring it along so you can learn with the tools you’ll use at home.

Yes. You can attend your first cleaning class without prior firearm experience. Let your instructor know it’s your first time so you can start with the parts and terms that are new to you.

Adults 18 and older can attend. Students ages 16–17 may attend with a parent or legal guardian.
What if I don’t own a handgun yet?
Call (703) 835-0692 before class to arrange a demo firearm. If you own a model you’re unsure about bringing, ask the team when you book.
