Basic Pistol

This is a course for the people with little to no experience with handguns, developed mostly for beginners shooters. However, it is not an exactly basic course because it includes many advanced level drills and exercises that will lay down a solid foundation for your future gunfighting skills. Basic Courses are MOST important – why? Because that is where students make most mistakes that, if not corrected – those mistakes will develop into bad habits, and those bad habits will drastically and inevitably impede your performance in the future.

I can proudly say that capable to get your fundamentals close to perfection and, if you do what I tell you, how I tell you, and when I tell you – you will be able to shoot 3 Inch groups at 5 yards, (some talented students put bullet in bullet), and shoot all 10th  or 9th  from 25 yards with no problem whatsoever with your standard issue pistol. That will get you way ahead of 90% of the Infantry or LE officers across the country, guaranteed. Any future LE, Military, or Security qualifications will be a joke after that.
