DP2 builds on the foundational skills learned in DP1. In this class, which is entirely on the range, we begin to work the manipulations necessary if you plan to carry a firearm, such as safely and efficiently drawing from a holster, performing emergency and tactical reloads, effectively manipulating the trigger when you have to make a low percentage/high precision shot, and clearing malfunctions. We also incorporate cognitive stress, asking students to process what they are seeing so they can employ the firearm effectively. Finally, we close out the class with data gathering, finding a student’s baseline performance level so we can effectively drive future training.

Course Length: 4 hours

Prerequisite: Completion of DP1

DP4 is the final chapter in our Defensive Pistol (DP) series. If we ever find ourselves in a dynamic critical incident, we do not have the luxury of hitting the pause button in order to get a few warm up reps in; we must perform cold and on demand. In this class, we push student’s performance, challenging them to shoot faster, further, and with more precision. This course introduces shooters to contact shooting, shooting from a compromised position, and strong hand only shooting/manipulations. We will also break down how to decrease your time from draw to first shot as well as reducing your emergency reload time, and work on refining our grip and maintaining target focused shooting which allows students to shoot quickly while maintaining round accountability during prolonged strings of fire.

Pistol mounted optics are much more than just a sighting system; they can actually aid a shooter in diagnosing improper manipulation of the gun. They also greatly enhanced a shooter’s ability to “call” their shots. Your optic is trying to “talk” to you, but must be able to understand the language, which is exactly what we do in this course. In this class, we go over dot tracking and how this can aid in diagnosing inefficiencies in our grip. We also discuss how the optic allows shooters to “call” shots because we will not always have the luxury of being able to see a black bullet hole on a clean white paper target. Every time we manipulate the weapon, your optic is going to “talk” to you; it’s important to learn how to “listen” and decipher what it’s telling you so that we can get the most out of this valuable sighting system and continue to place accurate rounds on target.

When we go the range and train, it’s generally in ideal lighting conditions. But have you ever tried performing an emergency reload or clearing a malfunction in a dark environment with a handheld light in your hand? Utilizing cover in hours of diminished light also has its own set of rules and guidelines. These are some of the key topics covered in our Low Light Pistol 2 class. This course takes the techniques learned in Low Light 1 and builds on these manipulations by incorporating reloads, malfunctions, movement, and utilizing cover in order to enhance our students’ capabilities to defend themselves and their families when the lights go out.

Course Length: 3 hours

Prerequisite: Completion of Low Light Pistol 1
