Who Should Attend
This is an intermediate to advanced pistol course, you must have taken our Pistol 1, CAP Couse or equivalent firearms course either with Deuce Alpha or other reputable training source. Although we will have a comprehensive safety briefing and practice good firearm safety throughout this course you are expected to know the mechanics of how your firearm operates and demonstrate safe firearms handling from the moment this class starts and throughout the day.
Training Goals
Our mission is to equip you with the core mechanics and confidence needed to operate your pistol effectively under pressure. We will establish a baseline of your skills using specific drills, under light pressure, at different distances, with use of a shot timer. With this baseline, you’ll be ready to continue your development—whether through personal practice or continued training from Deuce Alpha.
