This practical self-defense handgun class reinforces the Fundamentals of Firearms Safety, along with the skills necessary to properly handle a revolver and/or semi-automatic pistol learned in the Basic Handgun class. We will focus on developing a "defensive mindset" and learn the "colors" of awareness as first taught by Col. Jeff Cooper.

​

Students will begin working with their handgun from a holster, learning to draw safely, efficiently, and quickly.  Fire multiple shots accurately and reload quickly.

​

This class was developed to help the student learn the skill set needed to help avoid or to survive a deadly force encounter.

​

This is a full day of intense training in the classroom and on the range.  Topics include:

​

• Controlled trigger press

• Trigger reset

• Muzzle discipline

• Drawing from a holster

• Delivering multiple shots quickly and on target

• Speed and Emergency reloads

• The difference between Cover and Concealment and how to use both

• Moving off the X

• Strong hand and weak hand only shooting

• How to "Train to Win" because losing is not an option

 

Cost:         $150.00
