Description

A focused, two-day performance handgun course for students who’ve completed a Practical-level curriculum and want high-value, repeatable skills for close-in defensive work. The class emphasizes Extreme Close-Quarters (ECQ) presentation and retention (0–3 yards), reliable shooting from unconventional positions, rapid engagement of partially-obscured threats, and short, repeatable scenarios that blend force-on-target skills with immediate casualty response. Trainable, measurable, and built to transfer to real-world stress and actual use-of-force situations.

Expectations and Outcomes

  • Demonstrate safe, repeatable ECQ presentations and engagement from retention at 0–3 yards. 
  • Deliver accurate, repeatable hits from multiple non-standard positions and transition between them under time pressure. 
  • Identify and appropriately engage partially-obscured threats while maintaining decision discipline. 
  • Clear malfunctions at short range and re-establish reliable engagement immediately if wounded. 
  • Execute one-hand incapacitation progressions with either hand in live-fire progression. 
  • Transition a short live-fire engagement to off-line casualty mitigation (tourniquet application) while maintaining sector security. 
  • Leave with measurable performance benchmarks and a clear, prioritized at-home practice plan to continue to increase performance after class.
