SELF DEFENSE PISTOL 1 is for individuals who have a basic knowledge of their semi-automatic handgun. That means you should know the basics of loading and unloading, use your safety if your firearm has one, and use your optic and iron sights, as well as shoot safely. This class is designed to cover civilian use, patrol officer use, or tactical team member use of a semi-automatic handgun. This means if you want to come with a single magazine carrier or your duty or civilian gunbelt or chest mounted carrier system you can.
The course will cover using a pistol for self defense and offensive use. Topics covered include. applying the fundamentals of shooting for self defense. the draw, presentation to target, reloads, malfunction clearance techniques, multiple round engagements, multiple targets, transitioning your speed based on the target and what it needs, barricade use, movement.
I have twenty plus years instructing professionals and civilians in the use of firearms. I have specialized in the self-defense use and recreational use of firearms. I have carried a handgun since I was eighteen years old and I carried firearms as a police officer for twenty one years. I have thousands of hours instructing police, civilians, and military folks. I also have hundreds of hours as a student.
