Defensive Handgun 1
DH-1 covers the fundamentals of using a handgun to defend yourself in a violent encounter. This is an entry level class that will get you up to speed & comfortable with manipulating & shooting your pistol in a variety of situations & positions. Shooting will be done from 0 to 10 yards with a focus on concealed-carry skill development & balancing the need for precision with speed.
Class topics:
* Safety
* Mindset considerations
* Weapon & gear selection
* 4-count drawstroke process & application
* Weapon manipulations
* Clearing weapon malfunctions- fail to fire & eject, double feed
* Reloading
* Challenge positions
* Use of cover & concealment
* DH-1 assessment
Please come to class with a tested & functioning weapon if at all possible. Your weapon should reliably function with your training ammo & magazines. We will induce plenty of malfunctions for you during class. Likewise, wearing your gear & moving around with your weapon will help you establish comfortable, functional placements for your carry gear. This will save you time & frustration on the range. The recommended ammo quantity is a reasonable maximum expectation. If you tend to shoot more or jump in on drills if space allows you may need more. If you’re judicious with your shooting you can get by with less but you will not get the maximum benefit of the class.
You are responsible for informing the instructors of any condition that might interfere with your ability to perform some of the class drills. We will do whatever we can to accommodate as wide a range of students as possible but the more notice we have the better prepared we can be. You are also responsible for brining any medical devices or medications that you might need during class.
We shoot rain, snow or shine so come prepared. The weather in Colorado can be very unpredictable- overpack to be on the safe side. There are no refunds for lack of student preparation.
DH-1 Gear:
* Eye protection
* Ear protection
* Functional pistol
* 400 Rounds quality ammo
* 3 Pistol mags (minimum- more is better)
* Spare pistol (if you have one)
* Functional concealed carry or duty gear (gun belt, holster, mag carriers, etc)
* Ability to carry 3 pistol mags (belt pouches/pockets)
* Spare batteries for lights, etc
* Personal medical kit including OTC pain meds, bandages, tape, etc
* Any personal prescription medications you may need
* Water- at least 1 gallon per day of class
* Snacks & lunch
* Hat
* Gloves
* Pants are preferable to shorts- we will be on the ground during class
* Sturdy boots
* Rain/cold weather gear
