This introductory course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use a pistol-mounted optic. Topics include optic selection and setup, zeroing procedures, sight acquisition, presentation techniques, target transitions, and common performance issues. Through a combination of classroom instruction and live-fire exercises, students will develop a solid foundation for integrating a red dot sight into their defensive, duty, or recreational shooting practices.

Now that we know how to operate the gun, here's where you learn to RUN the gun in preparation for a defensive scenario.

This is a dynamic class, not your conventional static range - you will be moving, running & gunning, shooting around obstacles, using cover, performing single-handed gun manipulation and much more!

According to FBI statistics, 80% of shootings occur in low light environments. This course prepares you for just that, fighting and surviving a gunfight in the dark.

This course is geared towards augmenting your confidence in your pistol-craft, even in the dark.

This class will teach you the secrets of a rock-solid grip.

There are a lot of pitfalls during the holiday season besides missing a good deal or a disagreement with a family member. Many times, we get too comfortable and even fall into complacency which is a dangerous thing especially in group settings.

Each hour of one-on-one training with Chief Instructor Carlos Roman, will ensure you become the best shooter you can be.

The USCCA’s Defensive Pistol Program (DPP) is a comprehensive course designed to help participants develop essential defensive shooting skills using both live-fire and dry-fire training methods. The program focuses on both objective- and perfor¬mance-based training. Utilizing motor learning and skill-acquisition science, DPP en¬sures participants are equipped with the knowledge and practical experience needed to effectively use a pistol in a defensive context.

This live-fire program is designed to introduce responsible gun owners to the safe handling and effective use of a pistol while developing essential defensive shoot¬ing skills to be used in a concealed carry and/or home-defense context.

Main lecture topics include: Understanding defensive context Probability and self defense data Home defense considerations Ammunition and ballistics Concealed carry considerations

Range (dry and live fire) topics: Session 1: Fundamentals of Defensive Marksmanship Session 2: Presentation From Concealment Session 3: The Balance of Speed & Precision Session 4: Defensive Response Session 5: Malfunctions & Single-Handed Shooting

This program is designed for new pistol owners, the novice, and even experienced gun owners who wish to learn about concealed carry and defensive use of their handgun. If you have not taken a concealed carry type course, this is a great way to start! The adaptable/adjustable curriculum for this course is molded to the attendee’s skill development compared to a curriculum based approach.

The course is broken up into short, frequent training sessions. The first one is the Main Lecture classroom presentation of approx. 2 to 2.5hours. The remaining 5 sessions are 4 hours each. Maximum class size is 8 people, which means you get a lot more individualized attention. The DPP course can be completed in 5 days back-to-back, or it can be spread out over 5 weeks, one day a week.

Many times, in public places we get too comfortable and even fall into complacency. This is a dangerous mentality especially in group settings.
