EDC Pistol Self-Defense (Private Lesson)

Description

EDC Pistol Self-Defense is an intermediate-level, one-on-one handgun training session designed for shooters who already understand the fundamentals of safe firearm handling and basic marksmanship and are ready to advance their defensive shooting skills.
