Close Quarter Defensive Handgun 25OCT25

Close Quarter Defensive Handgun is a technical training module which will build upon the weapons handling skills that we introduced during Basic Defensive Handgun, then add and refine the skills necessary for students to succeed in high stress, high speed close range self defense engagements. 

Note the difference between technical and tactical training. Technical training modules like this one focus on hardware and skill development, whereas tactical training modules are focused on decision making and problem solving. 

If a private citizen must conduct armed self defense, it will invariably be within an urban environment, such as in and around cars, parking lots, homes, offices, or local businesses. Violent assault is raw, primal, and favors the aggressive. Thus, all students of self-defense gunfighting should learn how to fight and move and problem solve in this realistic context. 

In our industry there is a magical aura around ‘Close Quarter Battle’, you have to whisper the words…This dark magic is only for the elite, The Special Navy Delta Recon Green Power Rangers… Yet, once you actually get in front of one of these “Tier 1” instructors, you realize that their professional experience has absolutely no bearing on the life and reality of normal people. You hear such nonsense as “I don’t teach CQB to civilians”, “you cannot do CQB by yourself”, “kneel down when reloading so your buddies can shoot over the top of your head and wait until someone grabs your armor to pull you up”…Does any instructor have a program that teaches regular civilians how to fight and defend inside and around the urban environment? This is what we do.

This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
