Intro to Defensive Handguns


Dr. G

Recommended Posts

July 9 & 10, I will be offering a two day, outdoor handgun class called "Introduction to Defensive Handgun" This is a highly recommended class! It is an excellent follow up to the concealed carry class. Unfortunately, most concealed carry license holders, take the one class that the State requires, and nothing more. In your class, we spent between 2 & 3 hours on the range, the rest of the 16 hrs is spent dealing with legal and procedural issues. The purpose of Introduction to Defensive Handguns is to teach you gun handling skills. Making a series of accurate shots, under life threatening pressure, is not an easy task. It does not come naturally, and NO, YOU COULD NOT SHOOT STRAIGHT, IF YOU HAD TO!!! That is a statement made by an amateur selling wolf tickets, that he can't possibly back up! In reality you will only be half as good in a real gunfight, as you are on your best day at the range. This class will cover drills that cannot normally be practiced at a public range, especially movement & cover drills.

 

Of the 200+ students that have taken my concealed Carry class, only about 5 have taken advantage of this class so far. Follow up training will not only improve your chances of surviving a gunfight, it will also improve your credibility, when your case goes to court. Again, I urge all who can, to seriously consider taking this class.

Introduction to the Defensive Handgun

This two day course introduces you to the fundamentals of modern defensive handgun techniques and safe weapons handling procedures. It begins with a classroom session covering the legal, financial and psychological implications of a self defense shooting. On the range we cover how to properly draw from a holster, weak hand shooting and transition techniques, stoppage clearance drills, tactical and emergency reload drills, and shoot - no shoot decision making. This course will consist of 1/4 classroom and 3/4 range. Ammunition requirements: 450rds. This class makes an excellent follow up to the Illinois Concealed Carry class which was 13 hrs classroom, and only 3 hrs of range time. This class is intended to improve your gun handling skills.

Equipment needed: A combat oriented handgun with a barrel length of at least 3 inches.

Note: This is a defensive handgun course, therefore .22's, .25's, .32's, and .380's are NOT

allowed. The minimum caliber acceptable is .38 special in revolver, or 9mm in semi-auto.

A high quality holster preferably leather or plastic, nylon holsters should be avoided. You need

a holster where the top will stay open so that you can reholster with ONE HAND, if you have to hold the top open with your weak hand while you reholster with your strong hand then that

holster IS UNACCEPTABLE (safety violation - the muzzle must cross your hand)!!!

 

A minimum of three magazines for semi-auto’s or three speed loaders for a revolver.

A magazine pouch or speed loader pouch (enough for two magazines or two speed loaders).

Eye, and ear protection, and a hat or cap with a brim. A pair of pants with belt loops and a strong belt. A minimum of 450* rds. of factory (no reloads) handgun ammunition.
