This is not a “basic pistol class,” nor is it for beginners. Gunfighter Pistol 1 is the first step in forging armed citizens into fast, confident, and capable shooters — ready to dominate in close-range self-defense scenarios.

In this hands-on course, you’ll train like a modern gunfighter — building real-world pistol skills designed for chaos, not competition. Whether you carry daily or just want to know you’re ready when it counts, this course lays the foundation for the fight. There is no prerequisite for this class, but shooters must be confident in their shooting ability.

What you’ll learn:

• Next level understanding of pistol fundamentals and how to elevate your shooting skills
• Expert manipulation of the trigger for enhanced marksmanship
• Proper combat grip for recoil control and faster follow-ups
• Foundations for rapid target acquisition and speed-focused marksmanship
• Close quarters combat skills and weapons retention
• Safety protocols under real-world conditions
• Mindset: fight readiness, situational awareness, and survival.

Who It’s For:  This course is for competent shooters who understand the difference between shooting and training, and are ready to turn their gun range skills into real world fight skills.

Class Requirements: Semi-automatic pistol, 3 magazines or more, strong-side OWB holster, double magazine pouch, strong belt, 400 – 500 rounds of range ammo, eye/ear protection, close-toed shoes. A rental package is available for those who have not yet purchased their own gear.
