This is an intensive one day course designed to hone, refine and polish your defensive shooting skills. Our goal is to be able to deliver decisive hits, at speed, under all conditions. Topics covered include rapid, reliable presentation from concealment, high speed shooting, fast reloading, one handed manipulations, and more. You will need:
- Primary sidearm, revolver or semi-auto, caliber .38 Special, 9X19mm, or larger, at least three magazines (auto) or speedloaders (revolver).
- Quality belt holster, either inside waistband (IWB) or outside, with covered trigger guard, worn in a stable manner on a decent belt, with a separate pouch for the magazines or speedloaders. Please, no cheap, flimsy nylon holsters. Leather or Kydex are fine.
- Eye and ear protection are mandatory. If you don’t wear prescription glasses, you must wear safety glasses. Either muff type or ear plug hearing protection is fine. You will need a ball cap and a concealment cover garment (jacket, vest, windbreaker, etc).
- Please bring 500 rounds of quality ammunition. Please don’t bring junk gunshow reloads. You will spend more time fiddling with your gun than learning how to fight with it. Good ammo will keep your gun running and make for a much better learning experience.
- A cooler with soft drinks and snacks is mandatory. Bring rain gear. We train rain or shine. We will supply a workbook. Please bring a pen.
If you customarily wear a back-up gun, feel free to wear it in class. The training will be conducted in street clothes, from concealed carry. Please dress as you do in your daily routine. Training in BDU’s with a thigh rig is fine, IF that is what you wear daily.
Class will start promptly at 9:00 am. Please be in place NO LATER than 8:45 am, for paperwork, workbook issue, etc. Safety briefing starts at 9:00, you must be present for that. We conduct a hot range. Report to the classroom with your gun worn in the holster. DO NOT handle your weapon, just leave it in the holster.
