Holster Policy

DGM RANGE PERMITTED HOLSTER USE POLICY

Holster use at an indoor range has the potential for unsafe firearm handling due to the restricted area inherent in an indoor range environment. A public indoor range is NOT the venue to learn how to safely draw from or to practice live-fire quick-draw. IF a shooter is authorized by the range officer to use a holster, the following restrictions apply:

  • Holster use is restricted to the following individuals: law enforcement officers, security guards, range members, active duty & reserve military service members and experienced competitive match shooters.
  • All holsters must not allow the muzzle to deviate more than 90 degrees from directly ahead in any direction: no shoulder, cross-draw, ankle holsters, small of back or behind the back holsters.
  • Firearm may only be loaded while immediately at the firing line. No movement around the range area with a loaded & holstered firearm. Movement around the range with an UNLOADED holstered firearm is allowed – but leaving the range with a holstered firearm is not permitted. No handling of firearm behind the line is permitted. Moving from holster to case must be performed at the firing line.
  • Draw at a speed that is within your ability. If you wish to practice your draw to increase your speed, do it in a private environment (at home) with an UNLOADED firearm.
  • All shooters – including sworn law enforcement officers (LEOs) must present an unloaded firearm for safety inspection. This is required by our insurance carrier. EXCEPTION: LEOs duty or carry guns are not required to be inspected if carried on their body.
