- Red dots allowed; no magnified optics per DPS rules
- One magazine is enough, but two is better (not required)
- Speedloaders are permitted
- Use the largest pistol you shoot comfortably (or .22LR) for better accuracy and reduced felt-recoil
- If you are a novice shooter, please do NOT bring a compact or subcompact handgun unless you are very accurate with it.
