Handgun Basics: Skills & Handling Workshop

Ready to go a step further?

This follow-up session builds on Handgun Basics: A Beginner’s Introduction and moves into practical, hands-on fundamentals but still in a safe, classroom-only environment.

There is no live fire in this class.

Instead, we’ll focus on developing proper mechanics and confidence through guided instruction and dry practice.

You’ll learn:

• Proper grip and hand placement
• Stance and body positioning
• Sight alignment and sight picture
• Trigger control fundamentals
• How to safely load and unload (demonstration and guided practice)
• Basic administrative handling skills
• How to build safe habits from the start

This workshop is designed for everyday people who want to move beyond just understanding how a handgun works and begin learning how to handle one correctly and safely.

The atmosphere remains laid back, judgment-free, and beginner-friendly. You won’t be rushed, tested, or made to perform in front of the group. Everything is explained clearly, step by step.

This class is ideal for:

• Those who completed the introductory class
• New owners who want structured guidance
• Anyone preparing for a future live-fire range session

Confidence comes from competence — and competence starts with fundamentals.
