Pistol Series

The Pistol Series contains our most popular classes and are included in the Lite, Access, and Unlimited Memberships.

The Basics

This is the perfect place to start for absolute beginners and anyone looking for a refresher. Using real guns retrofitted with lasers and CO2 for recoil, we'll be covering the parts of a gun, how to hold it, and a basic stance to support you.
The Process

Once you've got the basics down, we'll move into the Five-Count presentation where we break down the steps for drawing from the holster.
The Details

Finally, we'll work through getting the proper sight picture, work on your trigger control, your follow-through. By the end of the course you'll put it all together by going through some shooting drills!

Review

To start off the second class in the pistol series, you'll review all of the skills you've learned in Pistol 1.
Development

Next, we'll get you off your spot with some movement drills. Throughout the course we'll have you identifying potential errors and make self-corrections along the way.
Reloads

To simulate the limited capacity of our weapons in real life we'll run through administrative, speed, and tactical reloads.

Review

Once again, we'll start off by reviewing the skills learned from both Pistol 1 and Pistol 2.
Malfunctions

Training wouldn't be realistic without some barriers, so we'll have you clear Class 1, 2, & 3 malfunctions.
Accuracy

Once again you'll bring all your skills together to execute drills while focusing on the difference between Marksmanship Accuracy vs. Defense Combat Accuracy.

Prep

Once you feel comfortable all the skills you've learned in Pistol 1, 2, & 3, we'll encourage you to join the Transitions course. The name stems from the intention of transitioning you from basic fundamentals and CCW training to the combat and defensive shooting you'll learn in 4M.

In 4M you'll focus on different techniques and tactics specifically for the civilian defensive shooter.

Our Range Safety Officers (RSO)/Instructors will walk you through courses-of-fire in our reality-based and ballistically accurate ranges.
