DEFENSIVE PISTOL 1

​

AN INTRODUCTORY COURSE TO DEFENSIVE PISTOL USE.

This one-day course has been created for the handgun owner who has never received formal firearms training in the area of defensive pistol use. There is big difference between the marksmanship-style pistol shooting that we all did with our family in an informal setting and the skills we actually need to effectively use our handgun in a life-threatening situation. In order to deploy the firearm in an effective manner in defensive situation we must learn techniques that are more tactical and defensive in nature.

  • Holster and support equipment suggestions
