Night Defensive Handgun 13SEP25

Night Defensive Handgun will push the student out of his or her comfort zone to properly utilize the pistol or revolver in the dark, to include training on specific techniques for using white light while mitigating the drawbacks of using a weapon mounted or handheld light. This training will develop the student’s confidence in the EDC (every day carry) pocket flashlight, and in carrying a weapon for real life self defense. 

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 49 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
