Service Description
Applied Tactical Firearm Skills – Handgun Course is a comprehensive 6-hour handgun training class designed to develop safe, confident, and effective pistol skills for real-world use. This $350 course is built for responsible gun owners seeking professional instruction that goes beyond basic marksmanship. The class begins with a structured safety briefing covering handgun safety rules, range etiquette, and proper pistol handling. Students learn safe loading and unloading procedures, holstering fundamentals, muzzle discipline, trigger control, and gear setup to ensure safe and efficient operation throughout the course. Students then progress into core handgun shooting fundamentals, including grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture, recoil management, and trigger press. Instruction focuses on building accuracy, consistency, and efficiency using proven training methods taught by certified instructors. Dry-fire training plays a key role in this course, allowing students to safely refine draw stroke, trigger control, reload techniques, and malfunction clearing without live ammunition. These drills build muscle memory and confidence before transitioning to live-fire exercises. Live-fire training focuses on practical defensive handgun skills, including controlled shot placement, target transitions, reloads, and threat-focused shooting. Students work through structured drills designed to improve accuracy and performance while maintaining strict safety standards. The course also introduces movement, positional shooting, and situational awareness concepts relevant to defensive handgun use. Instruction is paced to accommodate both intermediate shooters and motivated beginners who already understand basic firearm safety. Throughout the 6-hour class, students receive hands-on coaching, individual feedback, and professional guidance in a supportive training environment. This handgun-only course is performance-driven, safety-focused, and designed to produce measurable skill improvement. By the end of the course, students leave with stronger handgun fundamentals, improved defensive shooting skills, and the confidence to continue training responsibly.
