Handgun Training Courses
Pistol 1: First Shot
Pistol Deployment Basics
Course Description:
Every accurate shot starts before the trigger breaks. In this fast-paced 4-hour course, you’ll build your connection to the pistol from the ground up and walk away with the skills to put effective first shots on target — on demand.
You’ll learn, drill, and demonstrate the fundamentals that separate confident shooters from hesitant ones: a rock-solid stance, a grip that manages recoil, clean sight alignment, and a smooth, repeatable presentation from the holster. Every rep sharpens your ability to deploy your pistol safely, quickly, and effectively.
This isn’t a sit-and-listen class. You’ll put in the reps, test your proficiency against a real performance standard, and leave with concrete drills to keep sharpening your edge long after the range goes cold. The mission: walk out safer, more confident, and more capable than you walked in.

Pistol 2: Own the Fundamentals
Pistol Methods & Manipulations
Course Description:
The first shot is just the beginning. This action-packed 4-hour course picks up where Pistol 1 leaves off and drives into everything that happens after the trigger breaks — the techniques that decide who wins a pistol engagement.
You’ll grind reinforcement drills until the fundamentals are yours to own, then stack new skills on top: a clean trigger press, lightning magazine changes, multi-string and multi-target engagements, shooting on the move, and the mindset to tie it all together. This is where you learn to bring the absolute most out of your pistol — for yourself and for the people who count on you.
You’ll test your proficiency against a real performance standard and leave with the tools to keep building on your own. The goal: the manipulations, the core skills, and the confidence to step onto a match stage or into higher-level training and hold your own.
