Description

Defensive Pistol I is the perfect class for handgun owners to learn how to defensively use their sidearm.  We build you from the ground up, working grip, stance, and marksmanship fundamentals.  Later during the class, we teach students how to safely draw and fire from the holster.  The use of cover and concealment at our outdoor range will be drilled and demonstrated by our skilled instructors.

Expectations and Outcomes

Students should expect to feel exponentially more confident in their pistol skills by the end of this class.  This course is not a markmanship class.  Distances we will be focusing on are at close quarter ranges (10 feet max) and students will have an understanding on how to most effectively engage from the holster at these distances.  Students will have a firm understanding of how to reload their weapons under stress and clear malfunctions to get their weapon system back in the fight.
