Handgun Training

Strengthen Your Skills. Sharpen Your Speed. Advance Your Defensive Ability.

2-Day Course

Our Intermediate Defensive Handgun Course builds directly on the skills learned in the Basic Defensive Handgun or CCW Plus program. This two-day training is for shooters who are ready to refine their technique, shorten neural pathways, and increase both speed and accuracy under real-world conditions.

If you want to become faster, more decisive, and more capable with your handgun as a defensive tool, this course takes you to that next level.

You will begin with a focused review that reinforces proper technique and prepares you for more advanced work.

Topics include:

This day ensures your mechanics are strong, consistent, and ready for the higher demands of defensive shooting.
