    There is no generally accepted holster certification course except for Black Badge. A lot of ranges offer some form of holster qualification training which applies to their range and is rarely transferable.

    Where are you located? Your best bet is to contact the range you normally go to or are looking to join to see if they offer a holster course. Failing that, get your BB. You’ll be good almost anywhere you can holster a gun in Canada.

    I contacted my range and they said they hire a third party to train the members, but I have to wait a few months until they have a full class. I was trying to do it in a couple of weeks. I am located in Toronto. I will check that website. Thank you

    Do you need an official certification for holster use at your range or is this training for your personal benefit and learning?

    If it’s for your own edification, I’m sure there are good CGNers, including members at your range, in the GTA who are more than willing to help you with the fundamentals.

    If you need an official certification, then you’ll need to be taught by a range, paid course or BB. In which case, 2 weeks is a very small window.

    Again, bear in mind that very few holster certification courses are fully transferable between ranges except for Black Badge.

    It's just for my personal benefit and practicing at the range. I'm looking forward to it

    you want one that is NFA certified as well. The one Peter Eliot puts on or a Black badge courses are your 2 options. you can apply to the NFA for a card and patch after that

    Good luck finding a Black Badge course. Joining Freemasonry maybe easier.

    Well the Peter course, doesn't help someone in Ontario. But in NS. Seems like Black Badge is the only acceptable holster course most range accept. Not every range accepts a NFA certified course.

    Not sure of the point. You can't carry loaded guns in holsters outside the range area anyway.
