Defensive Pistol Course
This class is to learn how to draw from a holster. Most of this class is range time. There is a big difference between picking a gun up at the range and knowing how to safely draw from concealment.
Our Defensive pistol class will build upon a foundation of familiarity and comfort in presentation from a holster, and will work on the development of speed and reflexive gun handling skills. Drills will include: drawing from a rapid cadence, initiating the presentation sequence while in motion, threat identification, defensive accuracy, support hand shooting, rapid reloads, cover fundamentals, and basic malfunction drills.
Things You’ll Need:
- Pistol (any caliber 9mm to .45) bring one that functions and you can shoot accurately. NO REVOLVERS
- Owner’s manual for gun used.
- Concealment garment
- Hearing and eye protection
- OUTSIDE WAISTBAND HOLSTER REQUIRED! – For classroom safety, we require that you have an OWB strong side hip holster that covers trigger guard when gun is in place. Conceal carry holsters (inside waistband – IWB) are not allowed.
- 2 – 3 magazines and magazine pouches.
- 350-400 rounds – no hollow point or magnum.
- Folding Chair
- Personal beverage, lunch, and snack
- DRESS FOR THE WEATHER — especially footwear for wet ground, bug spray, and sun block.
- Safe attitude
- Patience and understanding
- Cooperation and timeliness
There will be a Qualification shoot at the end of class. All shooting will be done from concealment.
