Whether you’re a brand-new gun owner or looking to become one and want real training in understanding pistols, Foundations: Basic Pistol Fundamentals is your option. This is a beginner 101 level class and you’ll leave this class with more than just range time - you’ll walk away with confidence, clarity, and a real foundation for safe, responsible firearm use.

We’ll dig into the mechanics: how pistols work, basic firearms handling and marksmanship, storage options, holster types and other fundamentals of being a responsible gun owner.
