Intermediate Defensive Handgun: $600

Course Designer: Greg Hamilton

The intent of this course is to teach the student to reflexively employ their handgun and to put fight stopping hits on their opponent regardless of the tactical environment, position, or injury they find themselves with. Movement and verbal commands will be stressed throughout the course. Also, if facilities allow, live fire building clearing will be conducted.

Subjects Covered:

• Contact distance employment of the handgun
• Moving to the rear or laterally while drawing and shooting
• Rapid assumption of shooting positions such as kneeling and prone, which will allow the shooter to gain more accuracy and protect themselves from being injured
• Tactical management ("pieing", "quick peek", and "roll out" techniques) of danger areas such as corners, doors, and stairwells such as when protecting the home
• Shooting around cover, braced cover positions
• One handed shooting, drawing, and reloading, and clearing malfunctions with either hand
• Injury drills, "downed officer" drills
• Ground fighting and recovering from the ground
• LFI's "stressfire techniques" like the stressfire star, rescue pivot, reverse to weaver, reverse to kneeling, etc.
• Pivots (turning left, right, or 180 degrees) while drawing and shooting
• Long-range drills
• Challenging/covering opponents
