Basic Pistol

Description

This class is designed with the first time gun owner in mind, including those who are not yet gun owners but are thinking about becoming one. In a classroom setting, we use "immersion training" to cover all the topics for safe and responsible gun ownership while removing the fears and misconceptions of owning a handgun. Students "learn by doing".

This class is an introductory class and is a prerequisite for any student desiring to take more advanced classes with Dakota Firearms, such as Live Fire training at a range.

Topics Covered

Topics to be covered are:

• Types of handguns
• Ammo types
• Handling handguns
• Loading/unloading
• Shooting fundamentals
• Shooting stance
• Handling misfires and malfunctions
• First gun considerations

Expectations and Outcomes

At the conclusion of the class, first time gun owners will have the skills to safely and responsibly handle firearms. And those people who are not yet gun owners but are thinking about it will have the knowledge and information to determine if gun ownership is for them.

Pennsylvania does not require completion of a safety class prior to obtaining a concealed carry permit. However, at the conclusion of this class, students will receive a "Certificate of Completion". This CoC can be used as proof that students registering for more advanced classes with Dakota Firearms have taken this introductory class. Please double check your registered name, as it will be that name which will be printed on your certificate.
