CLASS 3:

Train Like SEALs, Special Forces, Marine Recon, Elite Law Enforcement & SWAT Teams - WITH LASER PISTOLS!

27-years training Police Officers and 18-Years teaching Respoible gun owning public equals Forty-Six years of training people has taught me many valuable home defense, firearms tactics, street survival and high stress combat performance lessons.

I teach the USCCA, NRA & Next Level Training approved and safe S.I.R.T. Laser Pistol training which is conducted on the premises.

We use Laser Pistols that have functional features like the Glock 17,19, 22 & 34. We also utilize a variety of popular, concealable sub-compact pistols, such as the Glock 42/43, Ruger LC9, Ruger LCP, S&W Shield, Taurus PT111, and several others. These are special training pistols that provide an auto-resetting, fully adjustable trigger, a trigger take-up, and a shot indicating laser.

S.I.R.T. Laser Pistol training paired with another futuristic training system known asthe LASER ACTIVATED SHOT REPORTING, L.A.S.R. system that records & analyzes every shot. The result of this training method is you’ll leave the class knowing an abundance of fundamental marksmanship skills and know when these skills are applied; they're effective and they really work!
