Defensive Pistol is an intermediate to advanced level course that blends elements of all previous curriculum to give students the most comprehensive learning experience.

Your Safety is Our Priority

Never assume that you THINK that you know firearms safety, KNOW that you know. Our PLEDGE and PROMISE to every student is to ensure that you understand the rules of firearms safety on every level. All of our training is in a controlled and private environment to help minimize distraction and promote the best learning experience. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is always available and used during live fire trainings.

 

We do not promote having large numbers of students in classes to be able to give any individual needing one-on-one attention the time necessary. Remember,  the rules of firearms safety are not just for the range, they are LIFESTYLE rules!

“Keith was very knowledgeable and personable. He made the training easy to understand and fun while keeping the seriousness of gun safety at the forefront. Gaia, Van, Prince, and Clint were amazing as well. We learned. We laughed. We cried. Most of all, we feel safer about handling guns. 5 out of 5.”
