Combat Pistol

Service Description

COMBAT PISTOL: COMBATIVE PISTOL SKILLS is a two-day, 10-hour intermediate-to-advanced handgun course designed for ARMED PROFESSIONALS AND ADVANCED DEFENDERS who are ready to move beyond basic defensive pistol training. This course is the next step after Defensive Pistol Fundamentals. Students will apply handgun skills in a more demanding environment involving movement, positional shooting, use of cover and concealment, multiple-target engagement, one-handed shooting, wounded-shooter concepts, communication, stress-based drills, and a final performance evaluation. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER COURSE. Students must already demonstrate safe holster work, muzzle discipline, basic defensive accuracy, reloads, simple malfunction response, and the ability to follow range commands. Students will begin EACH DAY IN THE CLASSROOM with instruction and dry practice before transitioning to the range for live-fire application. The classroom and range are separate locations, so travel/transition time is built into the schedule. TRAINING TOPICS INCLUDE: • Movement to cover • Shooting from standing, kneeling, and modified positions • Use of cover and concealment • Barricade shooting • Reloading from cover • Multiple-threat engagement • Dominant-hand-only shooting • Support-hand-only shooting • Dry-practice one-handed manipulation concepts • Wounded-shooter response • Emergency self-aid concepts • Family-protection drills • Casualty-movement drills • Stress inoculation • Elevated heart-rate shooting • Final 50-round performance evaluation For safety, one-handed reloads and one-handed malfunction clearances are taught DRY ONLY in the classroom with cleared firearms and snap caps. Live-fire one-handed work is limited to controlled dominant-hand-only and support-hand-only shooting. This course is designed for responsible armed citizens, armed security professionals, law enforcement-minded students, church safety team members, and serious defenders who want to become safer, more capable, and more disciplined with the handgun under pressure. PREREQUISITE: Defensive Pistol Fundamentals or instructor approval. ROUND COUNT: 350–450 rounds. REQUIRED GEAR: Reliable pistol, quality holster, sturdy belt, at least 3 magazines, magazine carrier, eye/ear protection, range-appropriate clothing, water, and snacks. KNEE PADS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Students should come prepared to move, think, communicate, and train seriously.
