Tactical Pistol 3 is our most advanced handgun course. It focuses on high-competency adaptive skills for overcoming adversity while effectively deploying a handgun in combat situations. We will cover topics like one-handed shooting technique and manipulation, support hand manipulations, shooting from unusual/downed positions, basic weapon retention, and contact shooting. Shooters will practice addressing multiple threats quickly and efficiently, and learn to accurately address laterally mobile targets. The drills in this course involve an elevated level of induced mental and physical intensity, in conjunction with an emphasis on survival mindset, to help build students’ fortitude and personal combat awareness in preparation to prevail in the fight, even while dealing with frustrating or intimidating disadvantages.

This class will present both physical and mental challenges. Students should come prepared to get dirty, uncomfortable, and AWESOME.
