Defensive Handgun Fundamentals

This course builds core handgun fundamentals and helps students become more comfortable with grip, stance, proper sight alignment, and safely drawing from a holster. Students will leave with practical drills and techniques they can incorporate into their own training regimen.

Whether you are a new handgun owner or a recreational shooter looking to develop defensive handgun skills, this is a strong course for building a safe and effective foundation.
