We are happy to assist in making your travel plans easier. You can ship your ammo and supplies.  Ammunition and supplies must be marked with your name, course attending and class dates.  Ammo should be shipped 2 weeks in advance to ensure safe delivery.  We do not sell ammunition on site.

Each student will be responsible for their lodging and food needs.  We will help locate lodging options that are close to the training site. Some locations offer government rates or discounts to Final Option students.

9.  What should I wear for training?

We will send you a complete list of required and suggested clothing/gear depending on the course attending. We suggest you bring clothing for all types of weather.  We will train in all the elements.  Final option strongly believes that you should train with the equipment you wear and carry.

10. What type of weapon and ammunition should I use?

Final Option offers courses designed for operating in hostile environments and winning deadly force encounters.  You life and others depend on the reliability of the weapon you are using.  Our courses are not designed for competition style guns and equipment.   “Tricked” out handguns with over-sized muzzle compensators, competition optics, speed style holsters and competition light pound triggers will not be allowed. 

Ammunition: For safety and reliability reasons students should use newly manufactured factory ammunition.  Armor piercing, penetrater rounds, tracers and magnum rounds will not be allowed due to the damaging of target systems.  

Handguns:  Any auto such as a factory style 1911, H&K, Glock, Sig, Beretta etc. will work well along with a safe, belt secured, forward drawing holster or duty rig.  Derringers and single action revolvers are not allowed.  Over sized magnum handguns such as the 50. Cal desert eagle etc. are also unacceptable. Revolvers are  allowed but keep in mind courses are designed for auto style handguns.

Rifles: Semi-auto carbines chambered in 5.56/.223 are recommended. SMG/Mp-5’s style weapons are excellent also. Rifles must have a support sling.  Optics are your choice. We strongly encourage that rifles with optical systems have a back up/secondary sighting system. Our courses, unless specifically mentioned, are not designed for bolt action rifles. 

Shotguns: Pump or semi autos are acceptable.  Barrel length should not exceed 20 inches.  Shotguns should have a standard rear stock.  Ghost rings or rifle sights are highly recommended. Single shots, over-unders and streetsweeper style weapons are not allowed. Shotguns should have a support sling.
